I love how you state out loud that you really like your artwork! I’d love to have your confidence, you really are a role model for other small business owners 💜

[@KatnippStudios]

heheh oh my goodness thank you so so much 😭

[@AnnaKincaid]

Couldn't help but laugh when you said pond sausages. Here we call them cat tails. 🙂

[@DonnasWonderland]

I’m in the Uk we call then bull rushes I believe but pond sausages is much better lol 😂. I’ve heard of cat tails but never seen a Picture so I wasn’t sure if it was these or something else. Every day’s a school day😊

[@justembraceit1]

SAME!!

[@justembraceit1]

pond sausages 😂

[@KatnippStudios]

heheheh 🤣 pond sausageees are cute hehe 🌭

[@wild-radio7373]

LOL!❤ same

[@jynstardust]

Yes, Cherry blossoms are a specific tree. A cherry tree. There are also similar blossoms on Crab Apple, Apple and any fruit trees in the Rose (scientific name Rosaceae) family ☺️

[@KatnippStudios]

heheheh so cool TYSM for sharing!

[@edwinbusse1997]

The moment whet you started opening the coffee packet I just knew it was going to happen. ☺BLESS YOU☺!!!! You and coffee have a love hate relationship. hahahaha. love your channel.

[@TheBookHerm]

Ahhh I’m so excited for this collection! I think I’m most excited for the phone grips and washi tape stands and just everything!!!

[@finelimedesigns]

Cherries come from cherry blossoms! But there are ornamental cherry trees that blossom but don’t produce fruit. I have a double blossom ornamental variety in my garden that looks like a big pink fluffy could in May. But the early blooming varieties are already starting to blossom here on Canada’s west coast.

[@SweetSurrenderArts]

I lost it when you called cattails pond sausages!!!! I will now adapt that name when I see them. hahaha we pick them and keep them in the house as a bouquet

[@whitneykopsie9772]

Love the music. Honestly one of the best vlog channels for cozy videos from a fantastic small business.

[@_atloa]

OMG I can’t wait for bumblebutt phone grip!!!!!!!! My eyes lit up when you said that!! 😅😊😂❤

[@CandiWare]

OMG what a fun vlog I agree about just using the ipad mini as a sketchbook. I really loved seeing you drawing in your sketchbook again. I agree also that seeing all your new items on the page is just so cute omg I can't wait to see it all made! Also it took me a min to know what you where talking about with the pond sausage. OMG hehe I wanna call it that from now on!

[@mich2364]

Cherry Blossoms have very important Japanese significance that is worth looking into a bit! 🌸 So excited for this collection!

[@KatnippStudios]

eeeek thank. you so much! Im excited for it to all come together!

[@linzertube]

🌷🌸The collection with the little cottage is so cute! I love the pins and the Bumblebutt washi stand. The scene on the large mat is pretty! The colours across the collection are so cheery! I can’t wait to see them made.🥰Excellent work, as always, Catherine!🌷🌸💗

[@waichin88]

Always excited whenever you post your vlogs! Also nice to see that you find backgrounds hard to get into. I get impatient, like you, and end up doing a half hearted attempt at it. 😂

[@kerenvalentin7082]

I think your illustrations are beautifuI, I believe that you are soooo ready to do your children's. So believe in yourself more and more each day. You got this!!! Have a wonderful weekend!!

The Sakura scene 😍

[@JackPotLiebe]

Watch your vlogs for a few weeks and am totally inspired by your drive. I also want to build a small business by the end of the year and find your positive and fun way and your vlogs totally inspiring. You are another person who shows me that with a lot of willpower you can build your own business. Looking forward to the next vlogs.

[@ChantelleArts]

[@konekoshu]

[@planhercreations8360]

You should design and make an "photo" album to keep the collection cards in. That would be super cute!!

[@zoeb6778]

I have been working on Sakura ideas for my art too! Your video has pushed me to get these completed AND have a little collection too! I always loved Sakura and have really wanted to be part of my Shibori art. Thanks for the inspiration! Your designs are just so kawai!

[@KatnippStudios]

[@Lisasplace]

[@tinkerandteal]

I have been double checking youtube for a new video from you lol so when this popped up I was sooo happy. I couldn't even wait till I was home to watch I put it on in my car and listened all the way home.

[@fleurlintott7378]

Just a thought you should so some shoe charms of your characters for cross shoelaces like your enamel pins x

[@jennymhulla]

I adore the way you shine with confidence and joy

[@wildforeststudio]

POND SAUSAGES!!!! 😆🤣😆🤣😆. Oh you are beyond adorable. 🥰

[@KatnippStudios]

heheheh 🌭

[@fuzzydragons]

simple style doesnt always mean faster lol really nice seeing that page layout for the sakura collection 🙂

[@danadass1868]

Love the thank you card- probs my favorite one yet!! Love the idea of making it a print too. Would love to see more full scenes like that available, like your calendar spreads. I know once the year is done I’m saving my favorite ones to use as prints. 😊

[@KatnippStudios]

heheh oh my gosh thank you so so much! 🌸🌸 😭 This honestly means the world! YOU DA BEST

[@WendyGreenIllustrations]

I totally collect the thank you cards too! I didn't get them all but I love the ones I have and am really excited for the other ones! I'm too excited for this whole collection and the phone grips sound cool too.

[@sonatawinchester5951]

Oh my goodness, I’m SO excited about this launch! I have loved sakura for sooo long (that does mean cherry blossom, specifically, in Japanese, by the way, but cherry blossoms are from cherry trees, but many of the flowers we see in Spring are from other flowering fruit trees, like apple blossom, pear etc. It should be just blossom, but I think cherry is the famous one. We have a faux cherry blossom in our garden. I was so gutted as it means no actual cherries. Gorgeous blooms though). Sorry about that long explanation. Spring is my absolute favourite time of year just because of all the stunning flowers, minus the horrid flies. Before I forget my manners, thank you for another great video. I always, always enjoy your videos. You’re an inspiring small business owner and I love to put your videos on while I make up or pack my orders. ❤

[@sarahsworld-2240]

Everything is super cute I always get excited for new videos u inspire me so much in crafting makes everything so fun n rewarding love you guys lots 💖💖💖💖💖 never doubt your artwork it’s beautiful 🥰😘

[@ClayDisarray]

I like listening to Diary of a CEO while I'm working too. Another lovely vlog, Catherine 💛

[@AllisonGendron]

aahhh i am so excited for the desk mat! i am about to build a gaming pc and hadn't started to think about how i'm going to decorate my desk, but this will be perfect!! 💖🌸

[@gourdingaround]

I would love a phone bumble butt holder.

[@LuckyOwlLady]

Oh no my weakness Saukra trees! I'm excited for the long mouse pad and tot bag!

[@AttackonGames]

The sakura art piece came out so cute! I am excited for everything but I think the washi stands too cause I just think the old ones came out so cute!

[@gloryraineisawesome36years89]

This is so cozy

[@KatnippStudios]

heheh so happy you found it cozy! ⭐️

[@tammieh647]

I love the washy stand that cute I was wondering when you were going to do some glass tumblers. Yeah the grip phones holder they work perfectly I have one on my phone I’m actually doing my own little ones as well for my craft vendor show. Can’t wait to see your new collection it looks so beautiful. You inspire me a lot to keep pushing.

[@49lucky]

I think it's great and I can't wait for the big mouse mat yippppeeee

[@Ria-Jade]

My new favourite channel! Catherine, I think you are fab, an inspiration, and you look amazing. Are you thinking about discounting the katnipp 2023 calendar now that it's later in the year?

[@Practice_Kindness-1st]

All soooo cute!

[@tracyslayton8095]

Love the collection! I can’t wait for the phone holder!

[@tooooooooooooota]

This was uploaded on my birthday 🎉 you’re such an inspiration to watch.. love your videos 🤍

[@mirandahasplans3699]

I only recently discovered you. You are SUCH an inspiration to me. You have no idea!

[@sassypackratstudios361]

I love the washi stands, the glass jars and the print!

[@nicolamaynard9969]

I am really looking forward to the sakura collection, I have a cherry blossom tree in my garden, and it smells so good, I can't wait for it to blossom this year 😁 I use a pop socket so I'd definitely buy one with bumble butt on and I would get one of the large mouse mats too

[@blu.berrii]

Woo excited for this one

[@TaziarTravel]

Yay!!! New Katnipp vlog makes my day!!! 😊

[@lucys.c.5307]

This video came at the perfect time! 🥰

[@fleurlintott7378]

Your very talented

[@contagiousleigh_xx222]

Would love it if you added a washi tape! You don’t seem to be bringing them out anymore 😢 super excited for the phone grip!! And I might buy my first enamel pin from you guys!! 💖

[@kawaiibunsco]

Love your drawing..its so beautiful..

[@curicuri218]

careful! the phone grips that have the leg style from your manu are very flimsy and can break easily. try to ask for the no leg style if they offer it.

[@sharliquinkatu6874]

Hi there, I love your content and I have been binge watching your channel. I was just wondering what app or platform do you use on your ipad for your designs and sketch drawings? 😊

[@Lisasplace]

i wish i could (financially) justify ordering just to collect the cards haha

[@MarciesWhimsySoaps]

Beautiful!🌸🌸🌸💜

[@kantigua5544]

sakura are cherry trees... plum blossoms also look similar

[@foreverdajah]

where can i find alice's shop for that cute mat in the beginning?

[@LetsGetWandering]

Just a heads up.. the link for your printer actually goes to an Ipad

[@dlm10142]

Do you use a shared studio space? like renting?

[@irenevdwesthuizen9259]

👍👍👍Can't wait.

[@lisafriend1427]

Where did u get your bag from x

[@pammcquaid]

I think hot chocolate taste best when it’s made with just hot milk 🙂

[@michaelahoogh8060]

Hi, How did you get the quick release to attached the sides? 🌸

[@KatnippStudios]

I bought a camera rig to attach the tripod screw too hehe

[@Sarahbeal90]

Where did you get your blue daisy bag from?

[@YvesGeorgeSanchez]

I like how you used AI art to your advantage.

[@KatnippStudios]

It can be a great tool to help concept art or use as a colour pallette reference!

[@Lichelet]

really? AI art?
