COZY HOBBY VLOG: trying NEW hobbies! | crochet, diamond painting, drawing

[@HaileyinBookland]

Hi everyone! I've been struggling with being sick the past couple of months, so I'm a wee bit behind but I want to catch up on uploads! This was filmed a couple months ago at the beginning of March, but I hope you enjoy!

[@Neil-writer-author]

I hope you’re feeling better

[@kellyreadingbooks]

Your heart to heart on the inner child, creativity, and adult pressures are so relatable. Thank you for sharing and opening up. Makes me feel less alone.

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

Omg stop!!! Polly pocket colouring book is ADORABLE. MY CHILDDDHOOOOOOD

[@lucia-z3c]

You are so good to keep your house tidy. I'm really straggling. I always have to push myself. Your video is so encouraging. Thanks.

[@chelseavannorman2600]

We have all the same hobbies and I love it! ❤

7:14 Diamond Painting is my new obsession.. ordered one a week ago, can't wait to start it

[@alexandraapatino]

This is such a refreshing video to see. Thank you for posting this! ☺️

[@percydoeseverything]

I love that your incorporating all the different aspects, hobbies etc on your channel ❤

[@rhiannonblewer9055]

I use the Ohuhu alcohol markers in my colouring books - you have to put a page in between to prevent bleeding but they look really good! They do a pastel set too x

[@SailorJaszie]

You did a great job at explaining just what imagination is. Exploring! I was telling my therapist about how I look up to you. How you remind me so much of myself, how you make me want to think better of myself and how I can change my life just by changing my way of thinking. You truly are an inspiration 💜

[@amandah82]

Diamond painting is my very favorite hobby! I was doing it during this whole video. I have an illness that doesn’t let me do much so I do lots of diamond art.

[@fatimasajid1026]

12:58: I struggled with that the first time i tried too, but stick with it, it'll eventually work.. My trick is to press the stylist with the beads harder so they stick on the canvas. Good luck!

[@judithcakelover]

Happy you are back again, I missed you. ❤This really reminds me I love to color and diamond paint too, but I never do lately. You inspired me to pick those hobbies back up again.🥰

Hi Hailey 🥹 I felt so much what you talked about while you were emptying your upstairs basket and let me tell you I have felt the same. I saw a post the other day something along the lines of we spend our thirties reconnecting with our younger self and rediscovering what we loved as a child but now without the guilt or judgement or care of what others may think. I don’t remember how old you are but please be kind and give yourself grace 💕 we all do the best we can at any given time in our lives and believe me, things happen when they are meant to. Possibly now at this point in your life you are stronger and have a different perspective and are more able to manage all these difficult things that maybe in the past little Hailey wasn’t quite ready to face. 🥹 I think about this a lot and I think that without our past and all our experiences good or bad we wouldn’t be able to grow and evolve into our most highest loveliest self on this planet 🥹💕 I love that you’re letting yourself be curious again 🥹💕

[@juliaseegmuller5686]

[@17caria]

Great to see you, and I really hope you can find the joy in writing creatively again really soon, from the bottom of my heart.

[@bethsbookcorner7337]

Hey Hailey! I hope you’re well ❤️. I’ve been watching your videos for years and I’m loving your hobby videos recently! 😍 I really needed a new hobby and you’ve inspired me to take up colouring ❤️ my new Coco Wyo colouring books are arriving today and I’m so excited to get started! 🥰

[@theunorthodoxlibrary]

After watching this, maybe I should start a hobby. the Daimond Painting seems fun. Plus, I love coloring.

[@irishr.4140]

[@fatimasajid1026]

[@ReadingIDEAS.-uz9xk]

Best wishes with the new hobbies.

[@Tayym122]

I was watching the beginning of the video and commented about the crayola pastel set but then I watched further and you found them later in the video! 😅 Yay! Where did you get your caddy?

[@fa3ryg1rl1]

I love this vlog especially the coloring content. Have you ever thought of using alcohol markers? They work so good.

[@lovelylily369]

We miss you over here!! ❤️

[@CocoDollRoom]

Crayola Super Tips Pastel markers.

[@ruebennomura9143]

Like you are doing a hobbies vlog good idea

[@maymoonasmr1900]

Hey Hailey, you may have mentioned this before, but will you self publish your book? There are a lot of us who followed your writing journey and would love to read it. ❤

[@fa3ryg1rl1]

Crayola supertips makes pastel sets, I think there are two sets.

[@lottielouisereads]

The 20 pastel set of crayola super tips are great washable markers if you haven’t tried those :) ❤

[@lottielouisereads]

Whoops just finished watching the video and saw you purchased them in the video 😂

[@maritvoogd1320]

Love this cosy vlog! I have the pocket room colouring book too. What markers do you use?

[@christianealshut1123]

Hailey, concerning writing and getting published - I've heard a lot about writers that self-publish, even by bringing out their work as e-books on Amazon, and get initial exposure in that way. There is nothing that dictates you have to apply to an agent and then have that agent place your books with publishers. Or people publish on wattpad and the exposure they get there leads to their landing contracts and placements with agents (as happened to Anna Todd). And I know of one girl who published her novels chapter by chapter on Patreon, charging different tiers of membership subscriptions linked with benefits that she offers in return. I remember when you gave regular updates on your "Book of Sisters" and "Twin Travel Novel" on your channel and I was eager to hear more about them, but I was also aware that you were only able or willing to state the most bare backbones of the stories (because you were legally prevented from doing so due to wanting to get them published later??). Perhaps you can start with these stories if you still have the legal right to use them in the way you want to (or did you sign these away when signing up with the agent?), and then see where it gets from there. And start with a small "fanbase" who know about the books and the stories and then see if you can increase your coverage in this way, because people can generally spread the word to others, and those to others, and so forth. There are a number of works that got to publication in this way, though the authors generally had to take them down from the web once a book deal was made. I for myself would be very excited to read something by you - do you still have those old texts? As for your agent - did your getting rejected lead to a severance of the contract with them, or are they still putting you on hold? Perhaps you should discuss these alternatives with them - I even heard about some agents suggesting to their artists to first try publishing their material through alternative channels.

I feel like a lot of the mental health stuff is rooted in societal stuff, like all the comparison and consumption and judgement and expectations of the world. Idk. I hope we raise our kids in a way with more freedom so they don’t end up burnt out and lonely and confused

[@mariahsmith2751]

Are you still doing paint by numbers? I started doing it a few months ago and I am addicted to it!

[@crazybooklady2104]

❤ Pagans would call that inner child things you're doing, shadow work and it is healthy to face it like you are doing. I've been doing the same thing.

[@Gillian.Ashcroft.66]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@rachna0367]
