Aww, thanks so much for your lovely comment 😊

Hi Rebecca. Was so lovely seeing your studio and watching as you prepped your paints. The presentation is absolutely filled with love and kindness. I saw both K and Lucy unboxing and raving about your paints. They looked so stunning and they both raved about your paints. Congrats to you on your sales. I’m not a water colorist BUT I’m loving how those paints looked. I’m in the USA and pondering a birthday present for July. Thanks for sharing and best of luck to you on your wellness journey. 😊

Hi Rebecca another brilliant vlog! I'm so happy to hear about your sales. They are well deserved your paints are incredible. I'm so sorry you are having to go through so much pain it can be so exhausting. I can't wait for next week to see your painting. Very dodgy tracking excuses if you ask Me Lots of love to you ❤️

Oh really? I didn't know you can sell books on Vinted. Thanks for the info, and glad to hear you're enjoing the vlogs 😊

I ordered at the weekend, I brought the Alice tin and your new shards tin, after seeing them on Lucy and K's vids. Your paints are stunning and I've been after a good glittery paint and the fact you can mix with other paints is amazing. They are worth every penny so very happy defo be buying more in the future. Love this vlog series going back to watch from the start. The work you put into your paints is in incredible x

A possible workaround for those wanting to use your paints over acrylic gouache. Try painting over the area with Clear watercolour ground……

Your studio looked pretty good before you tidied it up. Now it looks fab. Is it a regular garden garage building that you have lined with insulation or was it one of those garden office buildings you can buy? It works very well out there. You get lots of daylight in through the front and the silver insulation also creates light by bouncing light around. I think you could hang the bees up if you use a long enough string from the hook under the head so that the legs will sit flush to the wall. But you do need a string to do it with. I could be completely wrong of course... Wouldn't be the first time. Congratulations on hitting a personal business goal. Best weekend of sales ever! That must reflect the fact that people have more time to watch their favourite videos at the weekend. So they saw the paints on Colouring with K and Lucy Just Adds Colour during their regular video catch-up time and went straight to order. Brilliant. I do hope they get you sorted out soon. No one needs to take so many pain killers just to get through the day. I can't take codeine, it makes me feel like I'm dying. Mum can't have it either. She gets really dopy and out of it. Ibuprofen is the best pain killer for me but I'm not supposed to have it either because I have to take an anticoagulant because I have a heart arrhythmia. Sometimes I throw caution to the wind, eat something (as advised) and then take a couple if I have a migraine. But last night when I needed some, the migraine had become deeper whilst I was out and so I could not eat as I felt so sick. Just had to tough it out with Paracetamol, which don't seem to do a thing.

It's just a very large garden hut, Sue. I had double glazing installed, insulated the floor, added carpet tiles and covered all the walls and ceiling with that silver insulating bubble wrap. Oh and got electric installed. I'm really pleased with it but it's not really well insulated for the winter and I have to have the heater blasting. My mam also suggested string for those bees so I guess great minds think alike. Yep really pleased with the sales on the new sets. I need to make more of an effort to promote them on the other social media's as well. It's just finding the time for everything. I'll get there though. How's your tape business going? Thankfully, I don't need that many pain killers every day, just the worst one or two days. The rest of the time Paracetomal is sufficient. Sounds like both me and you are just falling to bits 🤣. I really feel for you having migraines, that sounds awful. My cousin also reacts badly to Codeine. It's not for everyone. I've been looking for a previous message of yours where you were telling me about what your dad found in the loft, lol. I read it but hadn't responded and now I can't locate it. So, just letting you know in case you think I didn't see it.

@@TheArtSpirits A bomb! An unexploded incendiary bomb. Apparently they were quite common finds for many years after the war. Coventry was heavily bombed. Incendiary bombs are not very big, they look like tubes with small fins one end and a rounded point. They didn't have much explosive power, just enough to detonate on impact and set a fire. I think they contained phosphorus which burns white hot. It was a single incendiary bomb piercing the lead of the roof of Coventry Cathedral that destroyed the entire church except for the spire. But many of them didn't go off and the one in our attic was like that. The houses didn't have access into the roof spaces when built so if a slate slipped or a bomb dropped in, they just went up a ladder and put the slates back on!! Dad bought the house, made access into the roof space and found it. But even more alarming really due to the time, my cousin's partner went up into her cottage roof space in a village a long way from anywhere really and found one in a dusty corner just a few years ago. Probably around 2016. She'd got lots of stuff up in her attic but hadn't ventured into the corners and edges. He didn't know what it was. Passed it down to her teenaged son and they put it on the coffee table. When she got home they asked her what it was. She had more foresight than the men and phoned the police. They in turn called out the bomb squad who had to come up from London due to it being New Year's Eve afternoon and not all bomb squads being on duty. The whole row of cottages were evacuated and the bomb taken into a nearby field and blown up! Her son has a photo of him and his mate standing in front of this huge vehicle with BOMB SQUAD emblazoned all over the front of it! I suspect there was a wartime airbase near there and it must have been a German plane either getting the coordinates wrong or dumping unspent payload on the way back home. My nan's farm was close to Coventry and close to an aircraft factory. I grew up knowing that in the bottom meadow near the river the string of grassy holes across the field was in fact a line of exploded bomb craters. Even now, every time they start digging foundations for large construction in Coventry city centre they will find at least one huge explosive bomb in the process. It's quite alarming if you think about it!

@@TheArtSpirits If you find the shed too chilly in winter, you could remove the silver insulation and replace it with building insulation. It's a sort of ridgid sheet foam in different thicknesses. You can easily cut it with a saw. It's what they insulated mum's barn home with. You would get it from a builders merchants. You could put the silver insulation back onto the front of it if you wanted because it does help the light. It would be warmer. Now her house if finally cleaned completely my next job is to buy myself a decent sized shed. We've had nowhere to put the garden machinery and tools, decorating equipment and my woodworking stuff since the barn was emptied ready for the build project. It's all in my work unit! The shed base is laid. Just got to find a good quality large shed so I get some workshop space back. I intend to line the new shed with this sheet insulation material so that I can work in it in winter. I like restoring furniture and have had nowhere to do it for 2 years now. Tapes is picking up a bit I think. But it's been a long, slow haul. Sending into the EU is still fraught with issues though. Such a pain.

@@suewilkinson910 Wow, that's crazy! So interesting though. Fancy having the full street evacuated, lol. It's hard to imagine our country was bombed like that. My grandma worked in a munitions factory when she was really young. She always used to talk about the war but I wasn't really interested when I was young. Now I'm older and find it more interesting, she's not here anymore.

@@suewilkinson910 Glad to hear the tapes are picking up. It's not always easy running a business. I haven't had any problems sending to the EU but I suppose that's because I do small letter post. I feel for you. You'd think it would be sorted out by now. I have considered the thicker insulation sheets but I dread the thought of doing the work. And I don't know how I would stick them to the roof. I wouldn't be able to use nails as it might pierce the felt on the outside. I could do with a membrane too as when it gets warm in the summer, condensation drips down on the inside. If you can't find a hut large enough, you might be able to get one made specially. That's what I had to do. It was a lot less expensive than one of those garden workshops. Don't get me wrong, I would have preferred one of those but they were 16-20 grand, unfortunately.

Ooo nice to have good sales, well done! What is the fine tipped applicator glue you use? Never seems to get gummed up!
