My husband Injured, Mistakes, + Changes Coming- Art Chat Art Studio Vlog

[@rachelhambone1159]

It's refreshing when a channel finds its stride in a way that fulfills the content creator because the energy translates to the subscriber. I've followed content creators that have burned out, not making necessary changes that they need to make, and found that I was uninterested in the few videos they managed to produce, they were very uninspired, and you can tell it was a chore for them... so it was a chore for me to watch. Nothing more beautiful than a happy artist. I find that I even enjoy when an artist is creating for themselves and they just press record with no narration or anything. Whatever's easiest and doable and sustainable is best.

[@jessbutterfly1934]

I just want to say is someone else that has a chronic illness, both physical and mental to the point where I can no longer work or even could go back to work and Art has been something that saved me. I honestly find it refreshing to have someone who I am via just sit down and chat and not put rose coloured glasses on over everything we all struggle, and it’s nice to know that we’re not alone and it’s very healthy to sharewhich is something I learned only a recently. Just remember your health comes first and when you’re happy that shines through to everybody else.

[@kathlynsteinman3599]

I am so sorry to hear that your husband was injured, as well as other things going on. I will keep your family in my prayers. ❤

[@NessaWolfeMuller]

I love coming to your channel. I don’t have other “art friends” in my life. Lots of friends, just not art buddies. So coming here is like having a friend that gets me and all my art woes and joys too. Your comfortable relaxed style gives me peace. I often think of you during the day and wish you healing and happiness. Please do exactly what you need for your peace and joy! I’m always a fan!

[@snowpony001]

So sorry to hear about your husband’s injury and your son’s allergy issues. Hang in there! Sending healing thoughts your way.

[@crystalipock9725]

Very sorry about your husband's injury. Will be praying for you and him both for healing. I am glad you are going with your heart about what brings you joy and may you get the joy you are hoping in your jewelry making, art or whatever you choose to do. I will continue to follow your channel no matter what path you take. Keep being true to YOU and pay attention to your children's intuition. They are so incredibly tuned into our needs just as much as we are in tune to their needs as well!! Keep going down YOUR path and you'll be the happier for it! Your jewelry is fabulous!

[@winterwoodsstudio]

Thank you so much for being so understanding! I am trying to think things through and work everything out! I will definitely still do art, I just might add other things to it! Thank you so much for saying you will stick with me!

[@clairewalters8238]

I am sticking with you too. Totally refreshing content & I have your channel in the background when at my slope & I chat to you. I live alone so no one thinks anything of it but I have seen ppl burnout and it is debilitating. In any case I totally agree with the preceding comment who said what I was thinking. If diversification works for you that’s great but you do you. My mum always said you can’t please everyone all the time, which is true. She also said “who said life was fair, Claire” and my favourite was “if you have nothing nice to say then say nothing at all.” Gosh I miss my mum ❤❤❤

[@adnil651]

Hi Amy! I am a relatively new follower. I enjoy and count it a privilege to be invited into your world. I am elderly (76 yo) with many physical infirmities. Art is my passion. I taught myself watercolor from books and KZbin tutorials. I really enjoy your channel and appreciate you talking about your life--the great, the good, the bad, the ugly. I enjoy your personality and find your videos interesting, your art hauls so fun-‐I am a packrat when it comes to art supplies--, and your tutorials fascinating. I am a landscape watercolorist primarily. I'm sorry for the pain you and your husband are going through. I'm just fresh out of the hospital from major surgery, so I understand your pain. I will send healing thoughts and prayers for your family. Keep doing what you love.

[@teresamazotti1315]

I am sorry to hear your husband was injured. Prayers for a swift recovery are coming your way. ❤❤

[@winterwoodsstudio]

Thank you so much! We really appreciate it!

[@Judi-Graff]

Prayers to your family. I like the “variety show” format. Do whatever keeps you going for now. You can always change it up again later.

[@winterwoodsstudio]

Thank you! I appreciate that! And you are right to! Nothing is ever set in stone! Thanks for reminding me!

[@stroodledoodles]

Sending some healing energy to your husband, I can't imagine how scary it must be for all of you. Take care

[@winterwoodsstudio]

Thank ypu! We appreciate it so much!

[@vanessalynch7985]

Amy I’m so sorry to hear about your husband. I hope he heals quickly and gets back on his feet. It must be so difficult with both of you battling health issues. You have to do what’s best for you with regard to the channel. I know I’ll still be here and I’m sure most of your followers will feel the same way. Just focus on you and getting better. Your jewelry is absolutely beautiful. You do amazing work. You should definitely do that if that’s what will make you happy. Sending prayers for your family. Have a wonderful Mother’s Day 💕

[@melissaaldosari8024]

I’m so sorry all of this has happened to you and your family. Sending love and healing energy. 💜💜💜

[@EbStefTv]

To be honest I am very excited to see you share content where you are doing what you want and what you like and not what you think others expect of you.

[@mariecurle5901]

🙏 for healing and strength for your whole family.

[@maureenkyle3967]

Oh Amy… take care of yourself and your family first. Share what you can while you all heal and we will be here to support and enjoy your talent. ❤️ Take good care. Your wire wrapping work is gorgeous! Love the wrapped labradorite pendant on the first or second page. I have also done jewelry as a hobby and always wanted to learn the wire wrapping. I did quite a bit of beadwork and chain maille.

[@winterwoodsstudio]

Jewelry is so much fun to make, isn't it? Although I'm not a huge fan or soldering. That's always the most frustrating part for me! Thanks for watching!

[@maureenkyle3967]

@@winterwoodsstudio It is addicting! I don’t mind soldering but live in a condo now so that’s out of the question. When I moved I had a slightly embarrassing amount of jewelry supplies… now rivaled by painting and drawing supplies. Oh well… i read the other day that ‘People who have a lot of art supplies live a lot longer than the people who comment on them’… LOL😂

[@christineosmond9024]

I really liked the beetle as a line drawing. You might want to consider taking pictures to make prints of similar type art work before you start painting. You could then sell prints of both the line drawings and the finished paintings. A nice collection of line drawings could also be turned into a coloring book. I look forward to seeing how your completed painting looks.

[@eleanortaylor4389]

Prayers for you and your whole family. Do what you enjoy filming on your channel. You won't be letting anyone down. It's your life and your channel!

[@winterwoodsstudio]

Thank you for the feedback, Eleanor! I appreciate it so much! And thank you for taking the time to watch and leave a comment, as always!

[@micheleyoung9292]

Wishing you well today, Amy! I love all your ideas and will be here to watch whatever you create. Your jewelry is stunning! ❤

[@macgurrl]

So sorry to hear about your husband. I hope he will be okay. I also love your chat vlogs. Do what is best for you so you can enjoy your creative journey. You need to find the joy in art again.

[@Bugiddle]

OMG, I am so very sorry to hear about your husband's injury! I can't believe they just let go of the wall 😮 I'm glad he has filed for Worker's Comp. They should at least pay for all the medical bills associated with the injury as well as lost income. (I had an injury last year at work. Broke my wrist, requiring surgery.) Hope he heals quickly, but please don't hesitate to go to the doctor if he's in any pain! And I think he should just take it easy and not try to do any work for awhile 😊 Prayers for both of you! ❤

[@diannedupuis2960]

Literally listen to your gut. Do what makes you feel good and the rest will follow! You should be so proud of yourself!

[@winterwoodsstudio]

Thank you so much for your encouragement! I really appreciate it! And thank you for watching!

[@georgiabeach4894]

I'm so sorry to hear about your husband's accident! Sending warm thoughts for both of you as you continue to recover. I'm looking forward to your new changes. I have enjoyed seeing your journey as much as your art. And your jewelry is beautiful! I need to take a closer look again to share favorites as you requested. I would be interested to see your pop up shops when you do them!

[@winterwoodsstudio]

Thank you for the good thoughts! We are all hanging in there but it's been a tough couple of months for sure! Thank you so much for the support and encouragement! I needed it today!

[@welchyv]

I really love the chatty videos, getting to know you. Sometimes it seems like “will life ever be normal again!” But we somehow manage. I will watch whatever videos you make. Do what’s best for you.I would become a patron but I’m afraid it’s too advanced for me! Sending healing thoughts your way

[@eljay1980]

Hope both you and your husband are starting to feel a little better and the pain is easing. I'm glad you are following your heart with the route you want to take and not trying to fit in to one specific area, it sounds like all the changes that are coming will be positive ones and I look forward to seeing where it takes you. Stay true to you and what you enjoy, but remember to take time out to relax and do things for your own pleasure too xx

[@Susancshell]

Hi Amy. Im so sorry for everything your family has been dealt this year. I love your ideas for the channel and really enjoy seeing your yard and other aspects of your life. You do you. You're right, ultimately you have to do what you enjoy or why have the stress of the channel. Oh, and love the jewelry. When you're ready to start taking commissions I'd like to have you make a mother's ring for me...I really like you're stackable gemstone rings, but no hurry or pressure. 🙂🙂 do what you enjoy! A lot us will still be here. 😊 you all take very good care and have a wonderful mother's day!!

[@alicereed5368]

You, my dear, are a breath of fresh air! 😊 I, as im sure all of us are will be here to cheer you on, watch your vlogs, lives, and updates...if those are about watercolor, oils, acrylics, jewelry, greenhouses, life...anything! we are here and we looking forward to hearing all about it. Sending prayers and healing vibes to you and the whole family. ❤

[@laurapaskavitz2689]

You've been through & are going through some VERY stressful situations & life challenges. You deserve to enjoy your work. Period. Personally, I enjoy your mish-mash videos. I enjoy all of your content, actually. We are constantly changing & learning & growing & that's a good thing! Even if it's uncomfortable at first. People may move on, but those are not your people. They just have other things they want to pursue. And you will get new followers who will embrace you & your channel. I love your artwork, but I watch in part because I enjoy your vibe. So I'm excited for these changes. Especially if it will make you happy. IDK if I'm making sense. I don't comment much, but I'm here! Unfortunately, I can't be a part of your Patreon, but I'm here! GO YOU! 🎉

[@winterwoodsstudio]

Thank you so much for your support and understanding! And you are so right. I keep telling myself it's the people that stay that are "my people"! Thank you for reminding me!

[@michelleclifton8868]

I am so sorry you're having such a rough time. Hopefully things will start to get better soon. I also want to say I would totally buy your jewelry!!! I can't even pick a favorite. But the swirly nature inspired stuff is definitely my esthetic. Please keep us posted as soon as you have some listed for sale.

[@dneel468]

Wow you have a lot on your plate lately. Sending you and your husband healing thoughts. I look forward to seeing your jewelry endeavors and I think if it’s fun for you it will be fun for us. Take care.

[@theresastephens5997]

Hang in there your normal just like the rest of us you have everyday accidents like us to that's what I like about your videos your normal you're down to earth like the rest of us hang in there I hope he gets better soon

[@winterwoodsstudio]

Yep. Life can throw all of us a curve ball sometimes, can't it? Thanks for the supportive words! They mean a lot!

[@theresastephens5997]

It's true nobody's perfect you have bad days just like everybody else but your videos are very nice and I kind of bought the art supplies to from them

[@denisevance1045]

Amazing jewelry Amy, my father was a jeweler so I really love and appreciate your pieces! YOU SHOULD NOT QUIT! I would be interested in seeing your available pieces!

[@winterwoodsstudio]

Thank ypu so much for the encouragement and feedback! I really do appreciate it. I have really been missing making things with my hands!

[@susanbaker3078]

I loved the splashing in puddles. I hope you and your husband are continuing to heal. How frightening your husband's injury, I hope he escaped major or long-term physical harm!! Your basement painting studio and the greenhouse both look great. In another video you showed the flag or fieldstone walls, they look beautiful to me. Good luck with your healing and art journey. I admire your focus and dedication to your work in the face of some real challenges! I hope you and your family get to relax and have lots of fun time!! Love jewelry making and other arts and crafts and hope you are able to find a way to make yt and online shops work for you. I think yt wants too much from creative people, it seems like a recipe for burnout! I feel that with lots of artists & content creators I watch on yt, the pressure to keep cranking out new videos seems like it blocks joy and stifles the creative process to some degree. Anyway, happy wishes for you and your family!!💚🐾🎨 PS I'm going to rewatch this video so I can see your jewelry . Also, I have to say that I cringe a little inside when you call your basement "scary." I'd love to have that space! Maybe it can have a new happy, positive, & inspiring description. Like your beautiful greenhouse and garden, it's going to be a vital part of your life and a place to nourish your creativity. Plus it's the actual foundation of your family's home! Hope you don't mind that I said. Anyhoo, hugs and best wishes, Susan in CA, south of San Diego 💐☮️🌞💙

[@BetinaJosefsen]

I live in Denmark but I love to see your Channel. I am very sad to hear of your husband accident, I hope you and family soon will be better.

[@bethbaker5696]

I’m excited to see the changes. Mental health and being happy will produce the best art! I can’t wait to see the jewelry it was gorgeous.

[@winterwoodsstudio]

Aw, thank you for the support and encouragement, Beth! It means so much! And thank you for watching!

[@lorafrisch8395]

I hope you and your husband are healing well. Your comments about having to avoid being a people pleaser resonated with me. My New Year's Resolution was to not give gifts. Oops! a few days ago I picked up a few inexpensive items that I could gift, I realized I will not do that. I will use everything myself.

[@lyndamorrill5687]

Wow that same scenario happened to my dad around 1970ish. His body was never the same and he couldn't work for a year. Hope your husband recovers as well as you.

[@sherhardgrave3664]

I’m a Hairstylists and we turned one side of the garage into a shop and I’ve been doing that for 27 years at this house and as I mentioned before I’m retiring next year after 46 years. I will be moving all my painting and jewelry materials to my shop and turn it into a studio slash SHE SHED lmao I can’t wait I absolutely love to make jewelry and have just started do the wire wrapping omg so much fun. So I would totally dig the jewelry stuff if you incorporate it into your channel…personally anything artsy is all good with most people because lots of people who are creative have many things they design. Our weather has been incredibly warm for this time of year and we had the most spectacular show of the Northern Light on Friday night what a treat something that was on my bucket list and I didn’t have to go to Alaska to see hahahah Well I hope your husband gets better soon take care.👩🏻‍🎨😊

[@susiemejia7917]

Remember progress not perfection. You’re doing well. Always good to reassess and make changes. Your greenhouse is lovely. As I watched I wondered if you ever paint outside on your property? It seems like lots of nature inspiration. Anyway keep on keeping on.❤

[@gailfriend550]

Amy I loved this video! I’m wishing your husband a speedy recovery. This is crazy, but I used to make jewelry too and the last two days I have been working on setting up my beads again. I have been missing it too! I hope you and your family have a better and healing week❤

[@sandywarner5021]

I personally love this kind of content. I make art and follow other artists more for the connection...not the art tips or instructions. That’s just me...but I love you chats. Do what you love and take care of your mental health. ❤

[@btwilks]

I think you're making exactly the right decisions regarding your channel - and I'm glad that you're making them now, when the early symptoms of stress are starting to tell, rather than too late, when you're totally burned out and have lost all the impetus to carry on with anything. Your channel has always contained a wide range of material and I suspect this has contributed to its success; I really don't see that extending the range slightly, to include jewelry and perhaps some fabric work, will have a significant impact on subscriber numbers. In this day and age of 'crazy people' we all have to be careful about how much of ourselves we reveal online, but I've always liked seeing the back story of creators whose channels I follow (although this time not so much regarding the bad news about hubby - hope he improves soon!). Overall, I suspect the only major impact of the changes you're proposing will be an improvement in your own mental health and your enjoyment of your various art activities - I think the subscriber numbers will look after themselves and I hope we'll be congratulating you on the 10k in the near future. Take care and stay safe - kind regards, Brian.

[@JinnyCJ]

Love your jewellery, wish I lived in the US so I could place an order. Your son sounds a very wise young man. ‘Out of the mouths of babes” is such a true saying.

[@tracya8398]

Loving your content, happy with whatever format and version works for you. Take care and I hope you and your family recovers well from your various circumstances. All the best.

[@winterwoodsstudio]

Thanks so much! I am so glad to hear you like my channel and thanks for the well wishes! We are hanging in there!

[@lauradill1447]

so good to see & hear JOY again in your heart

[@andreajlmoore]

So sorry about your husband’s injury…scary! I personally LOVE “bits and pieces” type videos best of all…and if edited to tell some sort of a story, then fantastic! Do what makes you happy…cause if you aren’t enjoying the videos you are making then we will sense this and they will be hard to watch for us anyway. I believe in Jesus, He is the great healer, so I pray that your family will find healing and strengthening in this difficult time.

[@kathycleriucuzio5245]

You need to do you! Here for it all the various forms of creativity! Happy healing to all of you😊

[@joannnulmer9060]

I absolutely LOVE your jewelry!! My gosh!! Keep your chin up! We are all pulling for calmer seas for you and yours!

[@julianneaitch]

Course it's ok sweetie! Even if you just did what you fancied and filmed it I'm sure we'd all watch and be happy for you to be you. Your personality really shows in your jewellery, you should let it out in other areas too. Gorgeous! Don't be so hard on yourself. You do a great job! You have so much going on with your family! I so hope there are resolutions there soon. Much love and prayers Jxx

[@artbyramona]

Sounds like a much more fun stuff ahead. Stories are wonderful!

[@Liz-sy7iu]

Hi Amy, I love your jewellery- the rainbow gemstone earrings, the lapis lazuli earrings, the rose gold sea stone earrings, the moonstone pendant....I could go on. I hope that your husband makes a quick recovery. What a terrible accident. Take care of yourself. I know that your shoulder is improving. Do what makes you happy. We'll still be here. Liz ❤️

[@stacys447]

Awesome ideas for the future! Well wishes for you and your family.

[@HeatherBryant22]

Sorry hubby and lil man are still down. I am glad he got the paperwork done though! I see good things with the launches with the mix. Go for it girl!! Watch Rafi and Klee if you don't already. I think they will give you all kinds of inspiration and may answer so of those hanging questions you have. Lots of spoons sent your way.

[@laurapaskavitz2689]

Wait! Where can I find your jewelry? I missed that!

[@winterwoodsstudio]

I don't have anything open right now. I quit everything back in 2022 and just dumped it all downstairs and hadn't touched it since then. If/when I do get it up for sale somewhere I will make sure to let you know! Thank you again for watching!

[@sandywarner5021]

I love the rainbow earrings! All the earrings are beautiful!

[@lorettaadams5669]

Please do whatever art you feel like doing. Your jewelry is beautiful!

[@winterwoodsstudio]

Thank you for your understanding and your kind comment! It means a lot!

[@kathygus]

I love jewelry making! Have done it for a few years, but just wire wrapping - no beautiful pieces like yours. Would love to see some! Painting I have only been doing a couple of months, and obviously, would love to see more of that too. I think people who come here are mostly happy to watch a talented creative create things. I pray that your husband and yourself are back to normal soon!

[@TracieWho]

Glad to see you are excited about creating again. I know that you've had so many setbacks and have been torn in so many directions (both literally and figuratively lol). It totally sucks about your husband's injuries and I hope he has a speedy recovery. Man, it's a good thing you have 2 strong sons to do your heavy lifting! i am also excited about the expansion of your studio space! I am such a messy acrylic painter which is why I don't do them anymore. Despite putting floor protection and shower curtains on my walls, I still managed to get splashes of paint water everywhere, including the ceiling fan! haha. But I really miss it. I could set up in the garage when I want to do something, but that would require setting up and taking down everything, everyday. Ugh....not at all motivating! As for your content, do what calls to your soul. Oh, and those days where your website is up and open, have been called "shop ups", at least by those artists I follow from across the pond. (Natasha Newton and Kriksis come to mind). I think as long as you say it with a British accent, all will be fine. 🤣

[@ma1539ry]

I would love to see more of your life. Your home and land are so different than mine. I live in a somewhat large beach community on the west coast. Also it is a retirement neighborhood with no personal land or garden to work in. It’s a pleasure when you share all those things.

[@winterwoodsstudio]

It's funny how we sometimes forget that what we have is special. I was just saying ro my husband yesterday I wasn't sure if I could do another winter and maybe we should live to the beach! It always gives me a little reality check to know other people like where we live too! Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave a comment!

[@jennbutterfly4448]

Hi Amy, I love watching you navigate through the challenges of being an artist, maintaining your interest, and keeping your mental health balanced. I would love to see how you plan your art, your sketchbook, and your art journal, though I know this is an area of vulnerability. I personally get tired of seeing someone making perfect art pieces. I'd like to see the bumps in the road and how you overcome the challenges - to me, that is where I learn the most. I also want to see a day in the life video of how you organize yourself to get so much done. I really struggle with routines and productivity, so I would love to see you role model your routines. I am really glad you are focusing on making yourself happy with your content first. As an audience member, I just enjoy seeing you do what you love, warts and all. I'm always sending good vibes your way for good health for you and your family ❤. See you next time

[@eldridschafer7155]

I sure understand this I haven’t done any fabric work for awhile. I have been in a hard place with this move. Love your jewelry. I’ve played with that. I to do all kinds of stuff I need to focus to feel better as well thanks heal fast 🙃

[@AnotherMADCreation]

Honestly, I'll watch whatever you put up.... So, do what makes you happy, otherwise you're cheating yourself out of a good life. Praying for you all to heal quickly and to be safe. ((Hugs))

[@clairewalters8238]

Those straight earrings that go up the earlobe are stunning & I would buy some of those as I have been looking for some like that for quite some time. Take care & I hope your hubby is getting better. Life is stressful & dealing with crohns must be very hard. Much love & *virtual hugs* from Perth, Western Australia ❤❤❤

[@mjpete27]

Hullo Amy, I am enjoying watching catch up videos and Lindsay Weirich does her SatChat every Saturday and she just rambles for a half hour or so! I hope you figure out just how to create your art weather it is flat or 3 dimensional jewelry! You should do the restock method of selling your art. If it works out, good for you! Less stress for certain. I helped a friend fix up his basement and it was cinder blocks so we drilled holes and used Molly bolts to hang frames and even sound dampening panels! I had trouble getting his fan exhaust working right but it just need correct routing and a powerful enough motor! Don’t forget to add a filter if you do an exhaust fan! I forgot to use one in my darkroom setup and burnt up my motor with simple lint particles! Thank you for sharing this video and keeping your subscribers in the loop! Good luck and safe healing for you and your family!

[@tessarotmify]

I've loved the mishmash ones!

[@tara-lee]

Sorry about your husband, but glad it wasn't worse. Sounds like a scary accident.Those bumps in the road never come at a convenient time, but you'll figure it out. I found out your arm injury isn't contagious.😂 Dr said I have bad tendonitis in my bicep and not a rotator cuff injury. Trying to rest your dominant hand is difficult. At least I don't need surgery. So glad your recovery seems to be going well. Hope your husband feels better soon.❤

[@lezlielink5615]

I can’t wait to see your new content. I’m really excited about your jewelry making!❤️ I’m really sorry you are having so many life struggles. Hang in there and take care. ❤️

[@winterwoodsstudio]

Thank you so much!! That's so kind of you! I'm trying to find some sort of balance so that I can be happy woth this new road I am on and I so appreciate your enthusiasm!

[@sirensong3556]

You are very talented. Beautiful jewelry! Definitely get back to it.

[@winterwoodsstudio]

Thank you! 😊 I appreciate the kind words so much!

[@franswey2]

I’ll be watching and enjoying what you provide. I was a Pen & Ink artist before I fell in love with a beaded bracelet I saw on Aileen’s TV show……they sent me dozens of bracelet pattens but never the one I wanted. ☹️ But beading jewelry took over and I’ve done some sterling silver jewelry, and would love to learn metal smithing. I’ve always love to create. I went back to my pen & ink and I love it. I love using Derwent Inktense pencils, as it’s easier for me to add color to my paintings. I know the wonderful feeling of not working under pressure 🥰. And the other side of working under pressure 😩 When the inner critic starts, just tell it you will listen later and keep acknowledging but never stop and listen. If our best friend talked to us like we do, they would stop 🛑 being our best friend. Be in charge, turn criticism into positive comments! First thing in the morning, look at yourself in the mirror smile and say good morning beautiful 🤩 I love you! We are having a fabulous day today! Every time you go by a mirror give yourself a pep talk. It may feel weird to tell yourself “I Love You” but after a while you’ll feel that love inside. Just like you do for your family. 🤗 I love the jewelry you make! I didn’t see one I didn’t love. You are extremely talented. It’s a shame problems occurred and you left Esty. You were in good company as there were a lot of people leaving. It’s not all handmade anymore. I’m so sorry about your husband’s recent serious injuries. It’s hard to wrap my head around how these men could walk away like. He’s in my thoughts and prayers for a complete healing and full recovery. Your son could be having breakouts due to stress. I used to break out on my left hand. I’ll be 73 on May 19. I enjoy spending my time with you sharing your experiences, talents and ideas. Of course family and pets. Thank you for inviting me into your life and home. From my mountain top in middle Tennessee on little acre, I send my love, best wishes and prayers for a full and speedy recovery! 🙋🏼‍♀️

[@blockedartist1962]

I really enjoy your mishmash videos.

[@sherhardgrave3664]

I love these videos sometimes it doesn’t always have to be art it can be anything I make jewelry and would love to see that absolutely I would be a big fan of that

[@sues7227]

I really enjoy all your videos. I feel like you need to go into the woods and have a good cry. Surprisingly, you will feel much better after, lol. Best wishes.

[@winterwoodsstudio]

Lol! You are probably right! It's been a rough year so far. I'm hoping for a calm relaxed summer where nothing happens! Thank you for watching, Sue!

[@desilake5776]

Your jewelry is Amazing Amy ❤

[@lindajohns726]

Amy your jewellery is beautiful. You should make some I'm sure you would sell it again. Mix it up a bit. I will continue to follow you. I also sew and knit and make stuff from air dry clay and I'm trying to learn crochet. Most of us don't just do art. I love your art though and always enjoy your videos. Hope you and your husband heal soon sending lots of healing energy.❤

I know it might sound weird… but I like different things… I’d love to own a paint brush that is functional but also more like a piece of jewelry. Do you think that’s something you could make? It would be amazing!

I’m fairly new to your channel, maybe been here a few months, so I’m pretty much down for whatever since the more vloggy content is pretty much what I’m already used to. Even if it weren’t the case, I’m very big on people doing what they want and not feeling like they have to box themselves in to be considered a “good” youtuber. If your happy, it’ll come through and that’s what make content enjoyable to watch. For me anyway.

Has your son with the allergy/hive issue been spending time in the basement? I know you mentioned you lived in an older house, he may have severe mold allergies. Testing the house for mold, and getting him tested comprehensively for various molds (standard allergy testing doesn’t cover all molds) might give more insight. At least it would help rule it out. Also, you might have him get a workup with an immunologist. ❤

[@winterwoodsstudio]

We've done all that and unfortunately no answers. No reaction to the allergy testing and no.mold in the house. I wish there was an easy answer! Thanks for watching!

[@BW2Color.Stephanie]

Hope you find answers soon! I know how frustrating the search for them can be… hugs and love to you and your family. 💕

can you tell me what the little blue flowers are? I'm sorry not an art question! I am also an avid gardner and attempting to homestead in central Minnesota and also teaching myself via youtube to watercolor paint and draw.

[@tamionchwari7550]

ok so i watched farther and heard you say the name of the flower! I wish you the most success and happiness. I think it is wonderful that you are making your happiness come first!

I used to make jewelry. I have recently gone back to it. I thought I coudn't do my art and jewelry plus I got discouraged selling Jewelry. I have an Etsy shop I am going to close. You do you and people will buy it. I am thinking of selling on Shopify. I do have a website for my artwork.

What does they were green mean?

[@dweamy1]

it means that they were not well trained, or didn't really know what they were doing - inexperienced is perhaps best word.

Do you live in Alaska? 16 degrees!!!!

Call your special etsy events "pop ups" or "trunk shows"

The first vibes i got seeing your new art space was an old English cottage with those lovely walls. I could see you push that into an artsy clever space! All the best to you and family health.

[@lynneellis2647]

Oh my! I'll bet you feel like you are under siege! That is the last thing you needed. I'm so sorry.
