ARTIST STUDIO VLOG, CHALLENGING DAYS; Depressed? Low Productivity? Plus giveaway results (closed)

It's a miracle that this video is up! Oh, it's been another tricky and challenging week with so many obstacles in my path that I just keep retreating home again as fast as I can! Am I depressed? Am I discombobulated? Finding ways to soothe my soul with art and self-care though to keep spirits bright and vibes high... Allowing myself to go home early every day and not minding the low productivity so much at all. Hibernating my way through January... working from the 'bedoffice,' right now actually!
Also, I am announcing the Giveaway winners this week!! (Now closed)
Winners email me here - hello@theunexpectedgypsy.com
Thanks so much for watching and all the lovely comments and connections. I appreciate you all so much. Xx
Loads of love & big soft virtual hugs Wendy Xx

    Kudos to you for listening so well to your inner voices, for taking the time to slow down, to go home early, to have an early night of it when that's what you need. You're a beautiful example for all of us, and checking in to see what you're up to is a treat I savor. No apologies needed, ever, for what you feel or do or don't do. We simply love you and whatever you have to share with us. You are a treasure, truly.

Its a perfect time to think closer to home, breathe deep, garden, paint, sit and listen to Wendy, or play with the kids!! Have a happy healthy day, if you are feeling a bit down, slow down, make a cuppa and read a good book...and smile 😊

    Thank you for the wonderful "walk" up the Tor. I am "allergic" to actual travel (no energy, too much anxiety), so anytime somebody else will take me to a special place somewhere on the planet, I enjoy it more than maybe you will imagine. I was thinking of all the people so long ago who took all those big stones all the way to the top, and constructed a beautiful thing that has lasted for centuries. Magical!

My goal was just to get through it, after the national events of the last few weeks..., and hold space for our peaceful transfer of power. Mission accomplished but it’s been exhausting. The energies should begin to settle now by the end of the month. Thanks for modeling such good self care to us. 💕🌸🕸🌿🌱

It's a saddle stitch booklet and has a kraft paper cover, which I've always loved drawing on. So far, I've used stencils, stickers, markers, acrylic paints on the outside and inside of my monthly planner. I absolutely love how it's turning out. I'm also looking forward to adding art to my journals. I'm also going to attempt to draw random stuff. Thank you so much for your videos and your good vibes!

    I know just what you're going through. I have to keep telling myself that every tiny step creates a great amount of progress in life even if it's overwhelming, challenging, or monotonous. I know that I will eventually get through my hurdles/obstacles.💕💗🤗🥰🥤By the way, that smoothie looked refreshing! Love the Art!!🎨

    You made me laugh out loud at the swearing. I seem to do a lot more of that lately. As always, enjoyed your post. Relate to how your feeling - it’s a bit of a roller coaster. Stay well and keep on taking care.

Sometimes when I have a hard time getting up or starting. I count from 5 to 1. It helps me step forward. Try it and see if it helps. Thank you for sharing your amazing life with us.

    Eat cake and walk in all weathers, that keeps me going, and just had my uni results, passed. Keep going Wendy, have you ever listened to Dave the Bard, I think you might like his songs. It was lovely to walk up the tor with James, last time I did that it was snowing and icy and scary coming down, but wonderfully invigorating. Sending a warm hug x

    Lovely Wendy.....I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling the weight of the world wearing you down, I think it's a general experience right now and the low skies and gloomy days of winter certainly don't help. My little miracles come in the form of seed catalogues and garden daydreams lol....anything to keep me plodding steadily onwards. Congratulations to the winners -- what delights they have in store!! Be well xo

    Fab video as always Wendy! I too am struggling with low mood and lack of motivation as usual in January and February but it seems worse this year. Good to know that I am not alone. However come 1st March I start to feel better as it's the Meteorological start of Spring! I love to see snowdrops at this time of year as I feels its Mother Nature saying 'I haven't forgotten you, here is some beauty to let you know that Spring will return'... Keep warm and safe everyone xx

    I've had a similar malaise lately. It's not depression, but I think you're right, this pandemic is just stretching on too long. Today I did a lot of tidying up in my studio and looked at it with new eyes. Normally I have a lot of mess, it's just how I work. I am thinking of moving some tables and shelves around and adding some more lights. The clean start seemed to spark some new ideas. I laid out the supplies for two new projects and actually started on a third. I loved the video of Glastonbury Tor -- I haven't been there since 1982! It does have a tremendous clean energy to it. This is the first time I have seen your channel and I'm glad I found you. New subscriber here!

    Hello my dear. I am a recent follower and so understand what you are experiencing. Since this new year began I have been in a slump and fog too. It doesn’t help when suffering from severe back pain that makes it difficult to do a lot at one time. I love your honesty and the way you own what you are feeling. This too will pass. In the mean time do what is best for you and your health. I can relate to the studio not being as you wish it to be, so maybe a slight rearrange may help the flow of energy. I did that in my home art studio/office and it helps. Stay safe and healthy. Loved the nature walk so much. Peace and love. 💐🌟

    "Digital Detox". I like the term! And, yes, those days are necessary! I've cut back so much on my screen time except for KZread. I've tuned into my favorite artists and cardmakers here and have learned so so much! I'm so grateful. Hang in there. This funk we're all in seems to be contagious. Wintertime doesn't help. I can see why some animals hibernate through it. ❤

    🥰 dear Wendy, I can't even begin to find the words to explain what your videos mean to me 🥰 listening to you being so honest in a good way makes me feel not alone in my struggles with my energy levels and my mood 🥰 im not pushing myself to be productive you say and that alone lightens my heart. For you obviously because otherwise you'll work yourself into a real burn out. But for me too because I need to constantly remind myself of that. So 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗 thank you and warm wishes
