Hey guys, welcome back to another work week in my life. I
Don't know why you guys like these videos, but you know what? I'm happy you do because I love them
I love filming these they motivate me to work harder because y'all are watching me
So I have to act like I gotta act like i'm a role model like I gotta be a good role model
So I love that you guys love these videos. I love filming them
I hope that I motivate you guys to get some of your orders done or some of your work done because
Filming these helps me do that. So I love it. So i'm not gonna lie to you guys today is wednesday
We are starting this in the middle of the week
But i'm gonna progress this video from this wednesday till next wednesday or next sunday depending on how things are going
So so far this week I have I just opened shop back up. So we have lots of orders to complete along with that
We have some videos to film
Some market prep and just a whole bunch of other stuff that you guys will see like spread throughout the course of the next few videos
So this is going to be like accumulation
Like you guys are going to see behind the scenes of each of these videos that i'm filming
So this is going to be a fun video right now
I am about to go to walmart to pick up some stuff for my market and then some stuff for
An order I have to pick up a packaging box and then I have to pick up some spooky themed stuff for my flower bouquets
Hopefully I can find some I don't know if I want to find some if I don't i'll just have to order on amazon
But we're gonna head to walmart in a little bit and then after that
I think that'll about sum up my day. Maybe i'll crochet a little bit because it's already
Like 7 p.m. So the day is basically over but that's what's on the agenda for today
Okay, so I made it to walmart and i'm gonna look for a box that fits this little cow that I made earlier
I should have recorded me making it because it's literally what this video is meant for but I just slipped my line
So i'm gonna find a box that I can fit this into
Oh, yeah, it's perfectly
Okay, perfect. We'll get this one. Okay guys, it's the next day
I packaged up the cow from yesterday and the weather's so nice today
It's the kind of weather that makes you want to cry because you know, you'll never experience it again
It's so beautiful. Like this is like that once a year kind of weather. It feels so nice
I think it's like 80 degrees, but it's really windy and it feels so
Good, it feels so good
So i'm about to head to usps to drop this order off
And then I think that's really it for today since hobby lobby yarn is not on sale this week
I'm, just gonna wait until monday to purchase all the other yarn I need for my orders
So this weekend is just going to consist of working for market prep and then other videos that i'm filming
Okay guys, so now I it's later in the day and the weather is just so amazing that I want to take
What's that word you want to take control you want to take advantage of it
I want to take advantage of it because it just feels so good
So i'm going to take pictures for my etsy
Which is perfect because i've been needing to do this
This is going to be the pictures for the video that I posted about crocheting fall inventory for my etsy
I'm about to take pictures for all of those so then I can have those uploaded and available for purchase
So you guys are going to watch the behind the scenes of me taking pictures for my etsy
Okay, so i'm at this cute little
like it reminds me of um
Stars hollow because it is so cute. It's this little thing and they don't have many picture places in my little college town
So we're working with what we have but I just took a couple pictures
and my little poncho
Okay, guys my phone is dead
But we took some really really really good pictures with the headband because the sun was setting and I got the perfect cutest little angles
So i'm so happy with how they turned out. I can't wait to show you guys what they look like because they look
Bomb, they look so good. So I will see you guys back at home
We're gonna edit these pictures do what we gotta do and then i'll give you guys the reveal because they look so good
I love them
Good morning, guys. It is the next day and yesterday
I got a little bit of a chance to go through the photos and edit them
So I did but no not edit them but like go through and delete the ones I didn't like
So I did but there's still like a thousand more
So i'm gonna spend the morning going through some of those photos trying to
Narrow them down a little bit more while we do our morning ice roll and then i'll show you guys
What we end up with it's currently 11 29. I have a nail appointment at 12 30
So i'm gonna leave at around 12 12 15 because she's only five minutes away. So that's good
So we have an appointment with a new nail tech. I'm nervous. Y'all know I loved my nail tech back at home
But we both moved so i'm on the journey of finding a new nail tech and we found one
So hopefully everything goes well
I think she's a beginner but her work is still beautiful and I want to give her a shot
But right now I am going to go through some of these photos and edit them
I'm telling you the ones with the sky in the background turned out so pretty. Let me show you guys some of them
Like look at the sky
It looks so pretty but I was only able to capture it with the white headband with the other headbands
It went it turned night time so it didn't turn out as pretty but they're still kind of pretty like they're just not as pretty
As the white headband ones, but that's okay
So we literally got pictures for everything we made in that video besides like the coasters, but i'll get to that later
So i'm really excited to upload these on etsy and then post all my videos about them
Literally, i've been looking forward to this forever. So
I'm gonna try to narrow it down to 10 pictures per outfit
Which is gonna be hard because there's like a hundred per outfit, but I need to narrow it down
I really only need like two pictures per outfit, but i'm gonna stick with i'm gonna stick with 10
Okay, guys, so I just finished going through all the photos. I have 10 of each photo
So that's great
Now all that's left is editing the photos making the lighting look good making it look shoppable and then placing it on my etsy store
And creating custom options for the items that I do have customs for and then we're done with that. So that is
Amazing I can finally post about it
Like i've been wanting to right now only y'all know about those sweaters because y'all are the only ones who
Have seen it because i've only posted it on youtube
so y'all are like a special little vip group of audience because
Nobody else knows like that. I just crocheted the best thing in the whole crochet history of the world
My poncho so i'm just gonna head to my nail clinic if I get there too early
I'm gonna just edit my pictures and post them on etsy. We'll come back with some new nails
My nails are green
But I think i'm gonna ask her to change it to like this color
So then I can give like more fall vibes either this or brown
Okay, guys, i've been back for a little bit. Here are the nails. They look so
Pretty I love them so much. But now i'm gonna start getting ready because this is another like not really work
Kind of work like half and half work half support my I am going to be
Modeling for my boyfriend's clothing brand and we're gonna go out take some pictures take some videos all of that
We want to go when the sun goes down. It's currently 6 35. So some like time in an hour or so
Yeah, basically a repeat of yesterday just taking pictures taking videos all of that. Let's get ready for that
I don't know how I want to do. How do you want me to do my hair?
Hey guys, it is the next day
I wish I could film like this but the glare from the windows just doesn't allow me to so that's why the
Like angle is always on the side, which sucks, but i'm sorry about it
But it is the next day. I have a lot of work stuff to do today. So today's gonna be a very
Busy day. I went ahead and put
Some laundry in the load and i'm waiting for that to finish and then while that's doing its thing
I'm going to film a tutorial and then after that we have to
Film a sponsored integration for a video coming up that i'm so excited for and then after that
Depending on the time I might edit those pictures that we took yesterday
You know how we went through those pictures earlier in the video and I was like, okay
We got 10 of each picture. I forgot I took a bunch on my actual camera
So then I had to download those and now I still have to go through those
So we'll go through those and then pick our final
Set of pictures that we want to post on etsy and then post all those tiktoks
And then after that we're gonna head back to houston
And i'm going to be filming a video in houston two videos in houston
I have a video to film with briley and then I have a video to film for my market prep
So yeah right now i'm just getting ready for the day yesterday. I
Ended up going out and taking pictures with my boyfriend for his clothing brand
I was doing like a get ready with me for with you guys
But then he was on the phone his friends and he was screaming at his friends
But you didn't get you didn't miss out on much. I did end up straightening and dyeing my hair
I dyed it black, but it's not really as dark as I want. It's kind of looking like dark brown. I want
Jet black like I don't know. I didn't dye it. I used like a color depositing conditioner
So it doesn't damage my hair and it's not permanent. But for winter time. I just feel like jet black is the move
I'm, not feeling very makeupy. I might do my makeup before we film the video with briley, but
Honestly, i'm trying to stay away from makeup because i've been breaking out and I don't know what it is
So I don't want to add to like the stress
I decided like for these work weeks in my life instead of just doing like my crochet work
I'm gonna start showing you guys all my work
So like all the stuff I do for youtube all the stuff I do
For tiktok all the stuff I do for sponsorships all the stuff I do for etsy instead of just like doing my orders
Because that's like the real work week in my life like it's not just orders
It's everything else behind that that I don't really show but I want to start showing it so you guys can get like a really
Realistic view of what it's like to be a content creator
In college hair is done. This is eventually going to fall and then like nicely fold behind here in like an hour. So
Leave that to itself. And then I also I don't know if i'm gonna do it today. Probably not. I might not have time
but I need to
plan
for october I need to
Clear out my september calendar erase all of that
And then prep for october october content october assignments october events like all of that. I need to
Write all those down before october starts so then I can have a smooth month like I did this month this month went by really good
because I had everything planned if you
Constantly feel like you're behind try planning your week and then whenever you get to check it off
It just feels so good and it motivates you to get everything else done
I feel like this video is so fun like so cool to me because like i'm doing so many things that you guys have already seen
but you guys are now seeing like the behind the scenes of it all and like you're probably like oh I watched that
Um headband tutorial last week and she posted a behind the scenes on it. Like it's so like funny to me
It's so cool to me. I don't know
Everything is so cool to me. I should probably
Better my life. Okay. See this is the goal like this is what this side is gonna look like whenever it settles
It's like a very cat like very
smooth
You know, this one is just giving boop, but it'll it'll it'll get the memo soon. It'll get the memo
Swear, it will. Okay. I will see you guys a little bit when we start our tutorial right now
You're not missing out on much. I'm just editing a bunch of pictures to post on instagram and etsy
Okay, we're finally done editing. I made a post
I didn't make a post for what I needed to make a post for but I made a post for freelance
Which is my boyfriend's clothing brand. So at least I got that out of the way now
We're gonna film this tutorial get it out of the way because the more I push it back the less time i'll have to do it
So let me get it finished and then that'll just make me feel complete because I can edit that literally whenever I want
As long as the video is filmed i'm good. So i'm gonna get ready. I'm not really gonna get ready
i'm just gonna put like a pimple patch and
Call it a day. Maybe some blush because
Again, trying to stay away from the makeup. I don't I don't know what's been going on, but it's not good
So i'm gonna throw on a pimple patch and then
I'm, so obsessed with my nails
Sorry, I just have to show you guys again and then i'll see you guys after so no headband
And then hopefully I remember to do the transition. So no headband
Boom, it's done. I made this one a little too big. It's like really loose. So, um when I saw that one at market
I'm gonna make sure to tell them that that one's a little bit larger
But yeah, the tutorial is now complete. We're done with that. And now i'm gonna go get my laundry
And
Fold it. I am gonna film a tiktok a sunday reset tiktok
Hopefully I have time because I want to leave soon and sunday reset takes me
A little bit of time. So I want to film a little sunday reset tiktok that I can post
So yeah, i'm gonna do that. But first let's go get the laundry. I don't know how I want to film this sunday reset
I've never like filmed
A sunday reset, you know what I mean?
This is gonna be like a half sunday reset though because today is saturday
And i'm not gonna be here sunday
Like I am gonna be here sunday, but sunday night so i'm not gonna be able to do my sunday reset
So i'm gonna do like a mini sunday reset today
Let's get this room clean
Okay, guys
I just finished my little sunday reset that took forever and i'm sweating i'm so hot but it's done
But um, i'm gonna pack up my stuff and then we can finally go back to houston. Yeah, I will see you guys
I might film
Us like starting the blanket, but if not, then I will see you guys either tonight or tomorrow
Thank you for spending the day with me today. It's been
Stressful. Hey guys, I am at my boyfriend's house. He's changed my oil
So i'm just chilling in this room and i'm about to start editing. Yes. He has that answers on the wall
Yeah, i'm about to start editing all y'all missed yesterday was I
Oh, yeah, I went to bradley's house
We filmed and then I edited my sunday reset and i'm gonna post that soon
But right now I need to focus on editing. We're a little behind by like 10 hours, but we're gonna get to editing
We're gonna get posted and then I will see you guys after when we're doing something else work related
I probably should have been recording this whole time, but we are officially in monday the first
Day of this work week in my life ignore this pimple patch. I'm gonna take it off later
I just I can't look at the pimple right now. I need it covered
But all you guys missed is I woke up and I journaled and then I filled out my october
Calendar and my october planner and my october notion
So I have all my content and assignments lined up for the month of october which starts tomorrow. So happy
Spooky month it is officially
Fall in spooky month so you guys can't make fun of me anymore
it is officially that time and look i'm in like my black cat era like
I'm really dedicated to the cause like I love fall what's left for today is going to hobby lobby going to the gym
Completing mia's order figuring out what I want to film and post for wednesday's video my excel assignment
Jacqueline's order and then pausing my etsy, which I will do tonight
i'm gonna give my instagram a little warning and I feel really bad because somebody messaged me on etsy asking me when the poncho is
gonna be
On my etsy and I think she watches my youtube videos because that's the only place I posted the poncho
That's the only way she would know about it
So if you're watching this video and I told you that I would be posting it this week. I'm, so sorry
I didn't mean to lie to you
I had full intentions of doing so but I got just so many orders within the past few days and it's
Preventing me from doing market prep. So i'm gonna pause my etsy, but I promise you
I'm only gonna pause it for like a week or a week and a half so I can catch up on orders
And then i'm gonna post that poncho and everybody can buy it custom if they'd like i'm so sorry
I really do apologize because you guys don't
Deserve this this week. I really want to focus on getting everything done on my to-do list because whenever I don't do that
I go literally crazy. So we're at a we're having a we're at a good start
The next thing i'm going to do is package jaclyn's order because it's already made luckily
It's the sweater the scrappy sweater we made in our last video
So i'm going to package that up right now
This sweater still has a few loose ends that I need to weave in
Real quick before I package it for shipping. I just want my floors. Okay, so they're clean. I can put the sweater on the floor
Because remember for our sunday reset we mopped the floors and I haven't been home since so the floor is clean. I promise
But you guys aren't crooked
Package i'm not gonna print the label yet because whenever you print the label it makes you pick a date that you're gonna ship it
and I don't know when i'm gonna ship this because
I might i'm either thinking i'm gonna go to the store today
To get a polymer for her package and ship it today or i might ship it with all my other orders
So I don't want to pick a date and then it'd be wrong
So i'm just going to wait it out until I have my poly mailers
But until then let me go ahead and order them
I'm gonna put it on my to-do list so that I can check it off so I can feel good
Okay, i'm about to hop on amazon and order
Some supplies, but I think i'm gonna film a video while i'm doing this because this couldn't have something to do with another video
That i'm filming so you guys are getting the behind the scenes of that
I don't know what i'm gonna do about this because I kind of wanted to look cute in that video
I don't know what to do y'all. I don't know what to do
But i'm gonna see you guys after I order this stuff. Hey guys, it's later in the night
I just got back from the gym
Um, i'm not gonna film too much because my memory card only has three minutes left on it
But all that's left for today is going to hobby lobby going to the gym
Which I did so I can crash that off figure out wednesday's video
Which i'll do in a second and then pause my etsy
I mean i'm actually not gonna pause my etsy because I feel like I can I can manage it
I don't know. I might have a mental breakdown. But but yeah, i'm gonna finish up mia's order. I'll show you guys it tomorrow
I already started it. I'm almost done
I think I just have to glue it all together now and make the cherries and then i'll be done
And yeah that concludes monday. Today was a pretty good productive day. I got everything I need to get done done
I will see you guys tomorrow. Good morning guys. It is the next morning and I
Am about to sit here and create my own website
I guess I can tell you guys because this video is going to be posted after the fact so
Right now i'm about to start filming my video where i'm going to be building my own website
Like i'm finally upgrading from etsy to a website
It's such a big accomplishment and something i've wanted for so long
And i'm so proud of myself that i'm finally able to do it
Like i'm so happy
This is a big milestone like i'm hitting milestone after milestone after milestone like all of my prayers are coming true
And it's all thanks to you guys. I love you guys so much
But yeah, i'm about to build this website and i'm gonna film my video for it
So that's what i'm gonna be doing for the whole morning probably before I have to go to class
It's currently like 9 30 ish 9 40 and I have class at 12 30
So from now till about 12 15
i'm probably just gonna be
Building a website building a link tree all of that
Like I don't think I want to launch the website until I finish all my orders
But then again why no, this is why I stress myself out
No, let me finish all my orders and then i'll launch the website
But I still have yet to go to hobby lobby
So I really need to go so I can get started on these orders, but there's like some technical difficulties. I don't know
I will see you guys
When my website is built. I'm so excited. I'm so excited like you guys are officially the first person
I'm telling like you guys are the first people i'm telling but like y'all are gonna y'all aren't gonna see this video
So it's already uploaded so y'all don't even know that y'all know, you know what I mean?
I don't know. I'm so excited. I love you guys so much and i'll see you guys in a little
I was gonna record like when I got in the car
But then I was like wait, let me wait for briley because I know y'all love briley and y'all and briley loves y'all
Yeah, so we're about to head to hobby lobby. It is the next day
I'm finally finally finally going to hobby lobby for these orders and i'm gonna get all the yarn
I need every single ball of yarn I need and some because I can always return
So we're gonna go get some yarn i'm getting stuff for my orders briley. What are you making?
Um, y'all i'm gonna do some room decor and then a fall sweater y'all
She's making these really cute leaves and she's gonna make them like pink and ivory
And then she's making like a freddy krueger style sweater
I told her for halloween
She should make like the sweater and make it like a dress and then wear some boots and then have like a silk press that
Would be so cute for halloween
So that's where we're headed right now. I will see you guys when we get there, but all i've done today is homework
And then I like worked a little bit on my website, but not too much. So you guys didn't miss any like
Important things but now we're still gonna start getting into like the work work because we're about to go get our yarn to go
Fulfill our orders. So I will see you guys at hobby lobby back in my home. It feels like it's been so long i've met
I've missed hobby lobby so much. I love it
I need to look at my orders and see what it is that I need because you probably need to a rainbow I do
Okay, so first things first we need some colors for taryn's sweater and she wants a sweater that i've already made
So I already know what colors those are. I think I used actually no i'm lying. Let me go to my tiktok. She wants these colors
So i'm about to get those right now if I remember correctly it was ivory
So you get two ivory and then I need two of this light purple
Or this one
I don't remember which one which one do you think is was the
Light one. It's looking more like this. I think this one. Yeah

Hello friends of mine
I am working on
The first yarn hanger that we have to make we have to make two
But i'm working on the first one and it's currently 750 something and I want to go to the gym at eight
So i'm gonna start getting ready for that. But this is how far i've gotten
And I have no classes tomorrow as i've stated previously so today is my friday today's technically thursday, but it's my friday
So i'm gonna be up all night crocheting at least two orders
This is one and then i'll do one more because that's all I had on my to-do list
So that's what i'll do. Here's the story tanger. This is after dinner fun
I think is what it's called and here's what it's looking like. I like it. This is a fun colorway
I mean, I love doing like color blends for
My projects but my camera battery is about to die. So i'll see you guys probably tomorrow or after the gym
We'll see but just know that tonight i'm trying to get two orders done
And we'll go from there. Hey guys. Good morning. It is the next day
So it's officially friday, which means a lot of things. It's the weekend one and two
I gotta ship my packages out today. I was really I woke up this morning like lollygagging. I was gonna like read
And then maybe go hang out with my boyfriend go see what there is to do outside like have like a very
lollygag pretty fun morning
Maybe go to the movies and then I remember that it's friday
And I need to get as many orders done
Today so I can ship them today because the post office is closed on sundays and they ship your orders the day after you
Give them to the post office. So if I give them to them today, they'll ship it saturday
But if I give them to them saturday, they'll have to ship it monday. So from now to five, it's actually kind of late
It's currently 12 30 p.m
I did like lay in bed and read for like two hours
And then like got ready got like did a little bit of makeup did my hair and then I was like, oh wait
It's friday and then I was like crap like I gotta get going
I really want to get as much as I can done today because
A it's friday and b like I'm gonna ship as many orders out today as possible
I was wanting to ship all of my orders out but because I went to hobby lobby so late
I'm, not able to unfortunately
So we also have to go to hobby lobby before sunday because I have an order that I have to get yarn for and yesterday
I only got one order done. I was supposed to get two done. But but that order we did yesterday
The yarn hammock literally took me till 10 30 p.m
I always forget just how long it takes me especially because I went to the gym as well
But like that thing takes me so long
So I
Don't know i'm gonna try to finish a bolero in a bag today
But this is how the storage hanger turned out
I actually love the way the color ended up like looking it looks a lot better like in a project than it does in the
Ball, I think this color is so pretty
It's like a mix of that fuzzy slippers yarn
I like with a little bit of blue and a little bit of green and it's so pretty I love this so much
This video has started from like a week in my life
It was originally a week into my life and then I extended it to a week in my life
And now i'm extending it to two weeks of my life and now i'm gonna extend it to three
So this is like a month in my life i'm gonna name this video a month in my life
This video is probably so long. But honestly
I don't mind y'all don't mind. We don't mind
It's fine. Like hang out with me. I love hanging out with you guys. You guys make me productive
Okay today we're gonna try to get well not today, but like before five we're gonna try to get aletheia
That is the prettiest name i've ever heard in my entire life aletheia. We're gonna get aletheia's order done
She ordered an african flower bag and a bolero in extra large
And i'm excited to make these because she picked like fall colors, so i'm really excited to make this order
But aletheia, thank you for your order. I love your name so much if you're watching this video
I love your name so much. It is so pretty i'm putting that in my baby name list
So yeah, aletheia, let's work on your order a bag and a bolero
Let's try to get it done. This is one order, but it's two items in the order
So it's still two items just one order. Okay, let's take out her yarn
She wants sun gold autumn stripe and ivory ivory check autumn stripe check. I think I got like three autumn stripes
I don't even know and then some sun gold check. So this is for aletheia's order
I have a couple more ivory in that bag and then also in my collection
So we can go through that as well if we need to
But I don't think so because it's only a little bit for the bag
So let's get started. Look how cute these colors are though. Like she she did her thing. I love to see you guys color combinations
They're so fun lately
I've been sitting on the other side of my bed to like work and crochet and do homework and stuff
And it's been helping so much because like I do live in a dorm
So I don't have like a couch or a living room that I could go
And get work done in so sitting on the other side of my bed kind of replicates that feeling of
Okay, that side is for sleeping relaxing reading and scrolling on the phone
This side is for working locking in and getting that money and it helps me differentiate the two as sad as it is
Uh, I was gonna start on the bolero, but my measuring tape is all the way over there
so we're gonna start in the bag wait before I
Bust open a new ball of yarn. I swear I have this yarn in my collection already
Let me look y'all i was about to open a whole new ball of yarn when I have a whole fresh ball of yarn of sun gold
in my collection
I think i'm gonna use my five millimeter hook though because last time I used my 4.25 and the bag turned out really small
So i'm gonna up my hook size for this
Okay guys a little update it's currently
1 41 p.m. I'm
So hungry. I need breakfast. So i'm gonna make some breakfast or I guess lunch, but I finished all of the flowers
They look so cute. This colorway is so fall and so pretty. I love it so much
but all that's left is making the white part of the bag like the
White layer of the flower and then connecting all the squares and then making the straps which is like 60 of the bag
So we're done with like 40
It is monday I didn't record on sunday because I literally didn't do anything
I just laid in bed and read and i'm actually reading the deal the off first book in the off campus
And it's so good
It's so good. I wasn't expecting to like it, but i'm eating it up. Um, I just planned for this week
Another repeat this is gonna be last week
We're filming this though because i'm gonna finish all my orders this week
And yeah right now i'm still working on that bolero. We were working on saturday
So i'm gonna finish up that order and then i'm gonna start working on jessica's order which she ordered a storage hanger
And then that'll be it for today and then like my homework
So this week is gonna be a pretty chill week because I don't have a lot of school work
But I do have a lot of orders
So it's gonna be like a lot of in bed watching movies audiobook my favorite kind of vibes, you know
And yeah, that's the vibe
um
I'm going to get started on that because I really want to get my orders done so I can have time to market prep
Because now I only have one week to market prep
How do we always end up in this?
Predicament, I don't know couldn't tell you
So next time we market prep remind me to schedule it two months in advance because clearly I can't
So we have like about an hour to
Work and that's what i'm gonna be doing. So i'll see you guys later probably when we finish up elithia's order
And yeah, i'll see you guys then. Hey guys a little weekly update. I literally just charged this camera
So today is what is today tuesday
Tuesday today's tuesday right now i'm working on my website and I need to finish it today because I need to post the video
for it tonight
by 12 a.m
So i'm not leaving this spot until it's done actually I lied i'm actually about to make some lunch
but after that
Not leaving this spot like I can't I gotta get stuff done
So i'm gonna finish on my website and then i'm gonna edit a video
And so that probably means we're not gonna be able to crochet any orders today
But I did get both the orders done that I said I would get done yesterday
So like i'm literally a boss and my camera battery's dead. So that's basically it for today
I'm gonna be working don't want to record anymore because i'm sure this video is four hours raw footage already
So i'll see you guys tomorrow
Thank you for watching this segment of the video. Okay little update for you guys. I just finished
Building my website ish, but it's enough to where I can post the video, which is fantastic. So it is currently
4 18 i'm about to spend the remainder of my afternoon editing this video. It shouldn't be too long because
I didn't get too much footage for it. So it shouldn't take me too long to edit. Hopefully i'm
hopefully i'm correct because I really don't want to edit right now, but
Discipline tuesdays and saturdays are always a little chaotic because it's the day before I have to post and it's
Always just a full day of editing or wrapping up videos. So tuesdays and saturdays
I never really get any like crochet work done because i'm always
Editing because for some reason I can't like do things before they're due. Okay guys, i'm outside
i'm about to start editing the video I was just talking about I edited a little bit outside after I ate some dinner, but
Now i'm gonna edit here. It's like this cool little spot. My boyfriend found it's like a little pit
And it's so cute. So i'm gonna be sitting here finishing up my editing
This video shouldn't take me too long to edit so
Hopefully I can finish it in one sitting
You thought I was about to do it. No, I didn't think you were gonna do it, but we'll see
Hey guys i've decided that i'm not gonna film any more vlog content
Until each order is done because this video is long enough. It's long enough
So every time I finish an order i'll show you guys i'm almost done with the sweater
It is like two days later. I think yesterday I didn't do two
Well, I was working on the sweater, but like I couldn't get this letter done in one day
You know what? I mean?
So this is gonna be the last like talking clip. The rest is gonna be like me just showing you guys everything
Also, i've been thinking about getting a new camera
What do you guys think?
Because I just want better quality. I want better sound I want to upgrade like this is a good vlogging camera
Like for taking around but i'm ready for like a big girl camera. Like I think I really wanna
i'm serious about this like I love
Filming and I love like videography and photography. So I think I want to take that step up
I think though I would wait till november
Because that's when I got this camera and like black friday deals
So i'll probably wait then but i'm doing some research trying to figure out like what's a good camera
And I don't want to switch to canon because I love sony. I'm a sony girl
but
I don't know canon looks pretty good right now
But yeah, anyways, that's besides the point. I will let you guys know when everything is finished
hopefully this week
But we'll see I'll see you guys later. Hey guys a little update. It is the next day I think and yesterday
I got super far into the sweater. I actually finished one sleeve
I just have to do one more row and then I have another sleeve but I ran out of yarn and it was already like
I think it was like 10 p.m
So I couldn't go to hobby lobby. So i'm gonna go today get more yarn
But in the meantime, I went ahead and finished up this bolero order
It's burnt pumpkin and extra large and I went ahead and finished that up. So
That was super quick and easy. I literally can finish these like
within
Two hours depending on the size
And yeah, now i'm gonna move on to my next order
Let me check what it is
But i'm finally able to get so much done because we're in the weekend and I don't have to go to class
although I do have a lot of assignments too, but
That's another problem for another day
Okay, so I finished tarens. I finished vashti's. I finished aletheia's y'all have some pretty names
like I every time I get an order I always study the name i'm like
baby nameless
jessica mays she wants
soft pink and irons
Oh, yeah, I finished jessica's so all that's left is marilyn and alex, which is
So relieving both of them are two really cool sweaters
So i'm excited to get to them marilyn ordered like a distress sweater and alex ordered like the mosaic sweater
So i'm really excited to get into those. I think i'm gonna start with maryland's because maryland's is easier and it's one color
And my attention span right now can take like that sweater
But i'm gonna try to finish maryland's today and then finish alex's tomorrow
Which will literally give me the rest of the weekend to market prep study do my homework get ready for midterms
Sunday reset like all of everything else that i've been setting aside
I'll finally be able to focus on finishing on my website like all of these things. So
I'll let you guys know when I finish up maryland's order
Maybe when I finish up both orders depending on how quick I make them because i'm ready to wrap this video up
I feel like y'all are ready to for me to wrap it up. It's been I think like three or four weeks
I don't know, but it's been too long
And the video needs to end so i'll see you guys whenever the orders are completed. Hey guys, so update. It's the next day
I know I told you guys I wouldn't update anymore, but I miss you guys. So
um yesterday I ended up not doing maryland's sweater because
Crocheting the sleeve for the second sweater took longer than I thought
So yesterday I just finished up that sweater and the bolero and that was all I did yesterday
So today i'm gonna get maryland's order done and then tomorrow i'm gonna get alex's order done and then we can end this video
So yeah
i'm actually like so backed up on orders and like schoolwork that i'm not posting a video tomorrow like I should be
And I went ahead and like let you let you guys know that i'm not posting because i'm busy
But it just hurts every time I have to miss the posting day
But I really need to focus on getting these orders out because market prep is coming soon midterms are next week
Assignments not done studying not completed like I have a lot of stuff to do
But anyways, um, i'm about to make maryland's order and she has a bunch of like notes that she wants for her top
So i'm gonna write them down in my notes like all those little things
She like gave me a bunch of little details
And i'm gonna write them down so that I don't miss them while i'm crocheting
Because I am kind of like i'm a little bit free handing, but i'm also a little bit following the tutorial
So this is gonna be fun. I love these kinds of orders
Okay, I have all the little notes that I need to make this sweater. I'm so excited
I love whenever Marilyn brings me something to the table
Like I love she always gives me a challenge and I love it
So these are the colors she wants it in
i'm so excited to like make this top and see how it turns out because I really want to post it because I feel like
This is like the kind of crochet item that would look good as like a streetwear kind of item
You know what?
I mean, there's like different kinds of crochet aesthetics and this one is giving like from what i'm thinking
I feel like it'll look good with like some baggy jeans
And like a really cool outfit i'm so excited to make this it'll be a little challenge
i'm trying to think if I want to use a bigger hook size, I think I am going to use a bigger hook size because
It's supposed to be like distressed and she wants it to be really distressed
So I think i'm gonna use a bigger hook size so that I can make those holes like bigger
And hopefully it turns out the way she wants it to i'm so excited
I just wanted to update you guys because y'all are my best friends, but i'm about to watch monsters because
Those edits got me comment down below if you think they should have went to jail
But yeah about to watch monsters maybe some youtube larry just posted a new video and so did steph
So maybe watch some book videos maybe watch like a little rom-com. That's been my thing lately
I've been watching a lot of like cute little rom
Coms and just like romantic movies like every time I go on like my little crochet sessions
I've been watching the notebook. I watched 10 things I hate about you and then I watched she's the man
And now I think i'm gonna watch how to lose a man in 10 days
I think it's called and i've been like on a binge
on like my little romantic movies because they make me so happy comment down below any movies like that though because I need more
Suggestions because i'm running out. They don't make movies like that
No more, the closest thing they made was anyone but you and that one was really good. I love that
It's harder than theaters. Um, I don't know why i'm talking your ear off right now. This video is probably like
two hours
But um, let me get
Going and yeah, i'll see you guys when it's finished. Okay guys, I finished maryland's. Oh tomorrow
I didn't even give y'all an intro. It's the next day. I finished maryland's order yesterday
And honestly, I wished I saved it for today and did alex's order yesterday because I had so much fun with maryland's order
I don't know what it was. It was so fun and it was super quick. Like I literally made it so quick
I did take breaks in between so I don't have like an hour or like a
Like a time to give y'all for how long it took me but just know it was really quick
And it turned out so cool. I haven't tried it on or like fixed it or steamed it or anything
So I have no idea what it looks like on but off. Let me show you guys. It looks so cool
It was so fun to just like figure out how I was gonna do it and all this but
I did what she requested. I think I made the arm a little too long, but i'm not sure yet
I still have yet to like try it on. I mean based on it might be a little long
But I also need to steam like the arm right here because I made this arm
Whole really really tight so i'm gonna steam it to like kind of loosen it a little bit and then it will be done
I'm, so excited to like see what it looks like on I have no idea and she wanted it
On the left arm like to sleep on the left arm
So if she could like it really doesn't matter you can wear it either way
but I just made sure to put the arm where like the
Asymmetrical side was going down just like the picture and I made the neckline wider as she requested and i'm just so excited to see
What it's gonna look like?
On so hopefully I can finish this sweater up today
Honestly, I don't think I will be able to just because last time I made this sweater
I made it in a small size and i'm making it two sizes larger than last time and when I made that one
It took me I think like two or three days
So i'm a little nervous for how long this will take me
I'm, really gonna try to finish it today
but I also have to incorporate like my assignments that I have to finish and
My sunday reset and just prepping for school because today's sunday. So
I need to study like I need to do a bunch of other stuff
So i'm gonna try my best to really get as much done of this sweater as I can
And if I don't finish it today, i'm not gonna beat myself up
I'm, just gonna ship these orders because I don't want to make them wait any longer
And then i'll go ahead and ship alex's like later on in the week
But pray that I can finish it today
I'm, really hoping I can maybe i'll make like a video out of it like trying to finish this one in 24 hours
Should I do it again?
You guys enjoyed the last one. Should I do another one?
Maybe I should and then i'll give me a video to put. Okay. I'm gonna i'm gonna do that. I will see you guys later
Okay, my friends. Let's do a recap of everything we made in this week of my life
So then we can see what it is that took me three months not three months. I'm joking three weeks
I don't remember the order we made everything in so i'm just gonna show
Well, the half of the stuff that we made in this video has already been shipped off
This is just the other half, but let me show you guys everything
So first we have this bolero, which is perfect for the fall season. I'm, so excited. I actually made two boleros
I made that one and this one this one's also perfect for the fall season
I really love this colorway that she chose and she also with this bolero
She ordered this bag with like the same yarn and it is so pretty. I love the way this one turned out
And then we made a storage hanger in soft pink and ivory per her request
I love making these. They're really so fun. I would say they're quick, but
They're not now into the clothing
Sorry, nothing is like neat right now because I was trying everything on just making sure it all fits
but first
We made this sweater. It turned out so freaking cute
If you guys want to see like any of these sweaters put on just head to my tiktoks
I should have posted them if not, then i'll post them soon, but I made a bunch of tiktoks on all these sweaters
So if you guys want to see them like on you can go check those out. But um, yeah, this one turned out
So cute. This is my medium in this sweater
And the medium is already like pretty oversized
So I can't even imagine what like a 3x would be but I want to give like everybody that oversized feel you know what?
I mean, I love a good oversize and then
I don't know i'm in between this one and my purple one being the actually I don't know
I'm in between all three sweaters being my favorite. I don't know which one is my favorite
I love them all but then we made this fall sweater, which I love so much
I don't think I recorded it for this video. I recorded it for another video
I made but that video should be out before this one
So if you know, you know, but we crocheted this sweater and this one turned out so beautiful
It is so fall and so pretty and then lastly we have bestie. Marilyn's
Distress sweater which turned out so fun and she loved it. I sent her a picture
She said it's gorgeous. So I can't wait to ship it out. I had a lot of fun making this one
I will say and yeah that sums up everything we made i'm gonna package these all up
I don't know if i'm gonna show you guys me packaging them just because i'm ready to end this video
But if I do I do if I don't I don't but yeah, thank you guys so much for watching
