Why I Stopped Making My Necklaces On Etsy / I'M Making Other Stuff Now On My Etsy Shop/ Channon

Hey you guys december's here vlogs it starts today. Come hang out and watch our vlogs every single day, shannon bakes and creates tons of diys. I make vegan food, that's good for you and i really really try prancing out the rv with a chainsaw in my hands. My name is cousin bobby. I know you are a fan, i'm out here cutting wood while i'm working on my tan tiger can get out. So i can be your man. This is snow. She is smart, special and so strong. She runs the house and you know she can do no wrong. This is storm he's our son. He is so much fun have a happy holiday from us and everyone here um. This is yours. Take it do okay, honey, good job, wipe your hands, hello, everyone! So this is real life like realistic, uh, get ready with me when influencers look like this, you know it's real when they look too good to be true for waking up in the morning. It'S probably because it's not real, we have some. We have somebody working on the house. If you saw on some of the past vlogs, there was a leak coming from the second story of our house from our bathtub and oh, my god, my brush is so dirty anyone else's brush. Look like this. I feel like i'm always pulling this out, but i feel like it's probably just like fuzz from my hair, since i only wash it like once or twice a week, because i have like really thick hair. So i try not to wash it too much because it dries it out um but yeah. This is disgusting. I need to clean my brush. I need to clean a lot of things. My house, you know, there's like i need to make a video of all the things that we should clean, but never do like. One of them is our brushes, or at least for me so yeah we had a leak and there was literally water like not just dripping but like i wouldn't even call it a leak. It was more than a leak. It was like uh like a waterfall flowing out of our light. If you did not see that vlog i caught it all on camera and um it was, it was the vlog called bad. Things are happening in our house because not just that happened, but storms like so scary, storms ceiling, like started like caving in and i was like out of all rooms in the house like the baby's room. Really, so that's why i titled that bad things are happening in our house, but we're getting everything fixed and um. So now they're fixing the downstairs. So if you hear like noises or banging that's that's what you're hearing, thankfully we were really lucky finding somebody to come in with like the holidays. You know going on to come in last minute. You know like emergency fix stuff, so that was really nice very grateful for that. I always see this in the background of my videos and i'm like it's so real life, but it bothers me so i'm gon na move it as you saw snow literally, can get into anything and she's such a climber and we've tried like the baby locks or Child proofing things and she figures out how to open them, and so it's we have to like put things where she cannot reach them. So that was like all like medicine and well, not medicine, but i'll show you what it was. It'S like. You know toothpaste and blood pressure cup band-aids an ice pack. You know things that, like i don't want her getting into our actual medicine, is in like a locked medicine cabinet, because we had to literally like lock in key stuff, so that god for didn't get into. Like our tylenol or you know what i mean so but yeah she when i went my battery died on my camera, so i went down really quick to get a new battery and she was up here brushing her teeth. She got into this and got into our little toothpaste tablet and started eating them. So you really got to watch her like you can't even leave for just a second you know, and if you have kids, you know like you get into things like within seconds and it's crazy. Also. Another thing i wanted to talk to you guys about because i saw it in the comments of my last video was um. A lot of people are asking why i stopped making my resin necklaces, which i love so much and you guys loved and i'm like so grateful. As you guys know, i've been having a lot of like health issues lately, and i am just trying my best to kind of stay away from anything that i think could possibly make that worse. And i, if you don't know like resin, is a really harmful like toxic chemical, when it's in its liquid form, you have to wear like a special like mask um. You know, like the big, if you've seen me like work on my resin necklaces. I wear like this big mask like a respirator mask, but at the very beginning i did because i didn't know like how dangerous it was so and also like. I just didn't want to have like toxic things around the house and around the kids, even though the kids were never in the house like when i was working on my resin um, i worked with uv resins. You can't use it outside. I had to work with it inside in like a well-ventilated area, and i always had to have travis take the kids to the park and then i'd have to like really air out the whole house before they got home, and it was just like a whole thing. You know i just don't want to be working with harmful chemicals anymore or not for me not for the kids, so that's kind of like the main reason why i stopped making them my last. Like hurrah. I made a lot of them and i was like because i wanted to use up like all the supplies like jewelry supplies that i had so. I made like over 100 necklaces and you guys are so amazing because so many of them have sold. But there still are some available. There still are some available. There are still some available, my etsy shop, so i decided that you know i love love, love, arts and crafts and like making things - and this is never to say that like i'll, never make them again because i might get the itch to like really want to Make some more or something never say? Never, you know, but for right now, like i don't plan on making them um in the future. So what i did was i went to hobby lobby and because i was kind of sad i was like. Oh no. I need some something else to do to like sell on my shop. My etsy shop, it's like my other business. You know, and so i decided, i'm going to start sewing. Dude, like sewing projects, and i started with bowl, covers um, and i made the cutest bowl covers out of like this cool, the most cool. Oh my god, i'm sorry but like my brain is very broken. So if i say weird things: it's because i'm blaming it on my thyroid and hashimoto's stuff, because um yeah, like i don't know, what's going on with my brain, but sometimes it just is not working properly and i notice it. But i can't like do anything about it. It'S kind of scary and i haven't started my thyroid medication yet because i'm waiting to talk to another doctor before i do so bear with me and like my memory stuff um, oh no, what's the matter baby, i think that's okay come here. She bounced all backward off the thing. Did you hurt yourself? Are you okay, honey? Does she hit her head? Is she okay look at him all the way up here. Let me see your eyes. I look at mommy. Look at my eyes. Okay, like this. Look. This way follow my finger. Okay, follow my finger. Can you follow it this way, oh honey? Where did you hit it? Does it mean, do you feel, okay, do you feel nauseous or sick at all? Does your tummy feel sick? Can you get her somewhere, nice baby? I'M so sorry that you got hurt honey, oh sweetheart. It makes my heart sad when you're in pain, honey. I hate that we're daddy's, getting it honey, daddy's. Getting your milk okay. Does your head hurt? Does your head hurt baby over here it hurts. Can i see it, can i look at it? Can i look into you feel a little bump? Where does it hurt? Can you point to where it hurts? Oh right here it hurts. Does it hurt here on this side too? Does it still hurt hey? Maybe you get some tylenol. Do you want some medicine for your headache? Do you have a headache? I know honey, we're getting your milk right now, okay, daddy's, getting it as we speak. Oh look! It'S right here! Thank you, honey! Here baby. I wonder if she maybe has a height did she fall hard she's on the back of her head onto the on to this in the kitchen from where, from standing on top of the alexander thingy alexander alexander, oh the chair, sure yeah, because she was saying your Head hurts like she might. If she felt hard, she may have a little bit of a headache yeah. She fell back right on her head. So do you want to give her some time? Maybe no, i think, she's fine. Now she walked all the way from ourselves. I didn't carry her up here, but you know these are the kinds of things that she has to learn because i told her multiple times this morning and even right before she did it. She stood up on that to get up to try to get the chocolate stuff and what she was trying to do. And i told her multiple times and i showed her - that the microwave handle and the oven handles are not climbing bars and they open up. And she will fall and she heard that from me multiple times. I know baby she's still little. You know well she's, very smart and she's gon na do what she wants to do and then she learned, because i did what i told her what's gon na happen, you do look great honey. So did you fall on your head because you weren't listening to dad? I told you that there's not a climbing bar and you're gon na fall and what happened? Did you fall? You go back on your head, she's. Okay. Now i think, but i was just thinking i don't know. I wasn't there, so i don't know how hard she felt, but it sounds like she fell really hard and i just want to make sure she doesn't have like you know, a headache or a pain. We might have a headache and her head might hurt, but the way that it happened, but you don't think it's like it needs 10 at all, no okay! I trust you because she was in still screaming hysterically right now, then that would probably warrant the tylenol. But why are you here still honey, no more climbing up on the chair. Those are not handles. You got hurt. I told you we're dead. If you get hurt because it's an accident, you didn't know, that's one thing, but when dad tells you you're gon na fall and you're gon na get hurt. I told you over and over this morning, and i told you again, you don't want to listen. That'S what happens? That'S what we're listening! She'S like me. I always learned everything the hard way. That'S then, maybe she learned i'm gon na go, get the monitor the water's here. She wants some water. Okay, thanks honey, we're going over because we're after we're doing the placement for the light, but originally when they put it in it, was they messed it up and then they had to move it over because there's a joist right there, careful it's! Okay! Oh it's! Okay! Mommy'S right here, okay, i got you everything's gon na be okay. I'M right here, they're doing work downstairs. You don't have to be scared. It'S okay! Okay, listen! Can i tell you something? You know how there's a man downstairs that our helper, that's helping with our ceiling to fix our ceiling downstairs, he's just drilling right. There he's drilling downstairs. So that's what that noise is. Okay, nothing bad's to happen to you kind of a scary noise at first tom. If you don't know what it is, but now you know so now it's not that scary huh! I love you so much. My rose okay, i'm always here for you, i'm always gon na, protect you and keep you safe. Okay, love! You i'm right here with you! I'M right here with you, look i'm right here. Can you sing me a song? Do you want to see me twinkle twinkle um? Okay, all right, you guys hold on i'm gon na stop this just take care of her i'll, be right back! Okay. Are you all better now, a little bit, okay, give me a kiss and go hang out there? Okay, i love you. Mommy has to finish doing some work, stuff, honey. Okay, i got ta finish working baby. Okay got ta work. She has your toes. No! She has your toes look at her. Big toe is not like my big toe honey. Hurt these. These toes, like curl around like yours, do that's for better traction and grip. So i'm talking about the big toe big toe, come here, you little rubber, okay, she's, all better. Now, thankfully she's definitely very accident-prone snow um. So she falls a lot and gets hurt a lot. Thankfully she hasn't like broken any bones or anything yet um. Okay. What was i talking about? Oh yes, so i'm thinking for my etsy shop we're just kind of moving in a different direction. Now of doing more like sewing, um stuff and we'll just see how it goes. You know um, but i made some bowl covers that i thought were super cute and they're reusable covers, so you know instead of using like um, instead of using like aluminum, foil or saran, wrap to cover your bowls um. I know for us, like we all put like leftover food, just straight from my bowl into the fridge and travis used to put like aluminum foil around it. I just thought, like god, this can't be good for the environment, i'm pretty passionate about like sustainability and being eco-friendly. Where i can. I was like, oh like we need to figure out something different, and so i found reusable like fabric bowl covers. They have like wax ones too, like beeswax ones, but i don't like those ones as much, because eventually they lose their stick and they're not like um. I just don't like them as much and so the fabric ones you can wash. You know if they get dirty. Um and they're just really cute. You know, like the foil in this right now, it's like ugly, looking and um it just makes like it's so cute. Looking with like the fabric, you know like the fabric print or whatever it is that you end up using and you can use them for like if you're making bread you know like uh to put over your bread when it rises. I also have one that i made a really cute one for my um, my kitchenaid, like uh mixer. You know like the stand mixer and to prevent, like as like kind of like a dust cover over it. You can use them for so many different things. I made some like a set of three and i just i posted them on my etsy shop and i thought they were so cute but like no one bought them. So i'm like, oh no, like maybe people don't like them or i don't know so, but i think i'm just still gon na maybe make a couple more and put them up to see. Maybe people just didn't like that pattern that i posted, i don't know, that's the thing with etsy, like you kind of never know like what people are gon na like, and so i am gon na uh make some more cloth pads. I just didn't feel as confident, because so many other people on etsy make puff pads and they're so much better and like prettier sewing and everything than mine are. But i love my cloth pads. I do have to say, like i prefer, to wear my own cloth pads over the other etsy ones. I'Ve bought, and so i know i really like them, and i know they work really well, but they don't look as pretty and i know that they like work. Well, as far as like, because i am a pretty heavy bleeder towards the beginning of my period and they work better than disposable pads for me, so i'm gon na try to put the cloth pads up, there's the cloth pads they take way longer to make. So that's only downside with that. The bowl covers are a little bit faster to make for me, and i just think they're really cute and i just love the fact that they're like sustainable. So that's kind of like why i was moving away from the resin necklaces was because for one like they're, not like eco-friendly, you know what i mean, even though i was using like um a lot of pressed flowers from my garden. It'S still not like an eco-friendly sustainable thing and i'm not like super passionate about them so between, like the resin being kind of harmful. That kind of the reason being harmful and also me wanting to make things that i'm more passionate about. You know because, let's be real, like etsy is my passion project. I don't make a lot of money on that um and i spend the most amount of time working on that business. That makes the least amount of money, but it's because i'm passionate about it. So i want to create things that i'm passionate about and the resin necklaces were really fun made them for a year and you guys love them and i'm so grateful um. But i am going to be kind of moving on from that and moving on to things that i'm truly passionate about like more sustainable eco-friendly products. That you know are upcycled and reusable. So hopefully that explains why i'm not making those anymore. But hopefully people will like that stuff and want to support my shop, if not that's, okay, too i'll, keep making them just because i love them and they're fun. For me, what's up with the resin necklaces i'm going to now do my makeup um. I just threw my brush in the trash. This is how broken my brain is right now like i, i really need to get on that medication. I'M really hoping that the doctor that i'm gon na be seeing um can help me out. I just wan na make sure that this is the right medication for me, because that doctor, like i really did not trust or like i don't know, if you guys heard him on the phone but like he i don't know. I just want a second opinion before i start taking a medication, especially because i'm on a lot of other medications right now, speaking of medications um, i have an appointment today with my psychiatrist um at noon, so i need to make sure i don't forget that also Really quickly before i do my makeup, i dye my hair with like box hair dye. I know some people are like, oh my god, so bad your hair, don't do it. I still do because it's just fast and cheap, but i have gray hair. That'S coming in and even though i love my dark hair, i'm like highly considering growing out just like my natural hair color and it's not gon na look pretty it's like a very ugly color um. It'S like the color of my eyebrows and um. It just is not like a flattering color on me in my opinion and i'm getting a lot of gray hair, but it's weird because, like the gray hair is only in certain areas like it's not like. If you look here, you can kind of see. Hopefully, if it's in focus like you, can kind of see, there's gray hairs coming in here right. But then, if you look back here, there's like no gray hair in the back and then like you know, if you come here, there's like oh wait. You can't really see, but like there's not like a ton of gray hair, you know it's mostly just like in this area, which i just think is so interesting that, like you know, gray hair is going to come in. You would think it like kind of all over my head, but it's only in like patches, like i don't know very interesting how the body works. I wonder if it has anything to do with, like my autoimmune issues or like iron deficiencies or like or vitamin deficiencies or something i don't know so weird right anyway, all right, let's go, do some makeup also in case you're curious. This is what the setup is going to look like for the get ready with me that um or for the makeup part we're getting all the stuff done. So it's like good quality, so you could tell the difference between, like my vlog camera and then like my good camera, i'm on the kitchen counter yeah at some point yeah so like four or five days ago - and i remember seeing it i'm like: that's, not a Smart place, no, it's gon na get it. I didn't touch it. I didn't do anything with it, so i don't know if you moved it from there. Maybe did you check in your in the little i don't know. Did you check down there in the kitchen and a little basket in your work? Closet? Sorry, um! I wanted to bring you guys out here, because i've had these loofahs and look they're starting to get brown, which is like what you want, but these have been up here, probably for over a month now, maybe longer and they're. Finally, now starting to turn brown. So i just took them off um the tree like when they were green and then just left them out here to dry out and they're, like some of these still aren't even turning brown and this one's still like really heavy, but like this one, you can see Like the tip is starting to turn, so that's good, you want them to turn all brown and then you can peel them, but you can do them a bunch of different ways, but i just wanted to show you that, and also i feel like this. Video is already super long, so i'm just gon na end it and then i'll put part two tomorrow, um of me doing my makeup and we'll talk about something else, that's more exciting than you know today's video. So thank you guys for watching. I'M sending you all my love and all my positive energy and i hope to see you in our next video
