We are moving..AGAIN 📦 New Studio Tour & Our Small business Journey (From the start)

[@barbaragodfrey4773]

I can't believe you have only been in business for 5 years. You seem to have such a wisdom about you that suggests you have been doing this for so much longer. Congratulations on reaching new milestones along the way! You are such a genuine person and lovely to follow.

[@KatnippStudios]

Its been around 7 years in total! Two/Three of those years where in my small bedroom when I had a fulltime job and a part time job on the side! But due to working it took alot longer to grow in the early days because I didn't have so much time, then 2018 is when things really started changing hehehe, I took the plunge to go completely on my own in 2019 (Still cant believe I have managed to live a life working for myself for so long lol) so It only really feels like four years in proper business! Time flies when yourhaving fun heheh and Im only just getting started! 🌸 Thank you so much for watching!

[@Foxandsparrowco]

It’s due time for an entire wall mural that includes all of your characters, and backing card/mouse mat designs and elements! Gingie and Spices cozy home, the pond with froggo and bear, bonbun and bumble butt in a little flower/garden, omg and a little campfire with marshie and friends! make this happen Catherine!! 😍

[@amberpadilla6463]

I loved your first little studio, so cute. It’s been so fun watching your business grow and progress.

[@KatnippStudios]

heh oh wow thank you so so much! YOU DA BEST thank you for following along on the journey!

[@ivette22]

I'm here since the first little studio, and it's awesome how it's still so inspiring ❤ can't wait to see how you transform this new space ❤

[@KatnippStudios]

oh my goodness thank you so much for being with me for so long and being along for the ride! YOU DA BEST 😍

[@49lucky]

I know I've been with you all the way congratulations I'm so proud of you.

[@cristyzinn1712]

I can’t believe I’ve been watching you since that first studio!!! I’ve loved watching your journey.❤

[@InvitetiqueDesigns]

Love that small room she made magic in that little space

[@KatnippStudios]

heheh oh my gosh thank you so so much for being along for the ride! I feel like Im only just getting started so I can't wait to see whats next!

[@nubedelava]

Yaaas ❤ congrats giirrrrl 🎉

[@CreativeStitchingwithAnn]

Not only has your business grown and developed but you have grown and developed as an individual! Love watching your channel.

[@birdiexoxo]

This was so nostalgic! I can’t believe it’s already been 5 years but at the same time I can’t believe it’s only been 5 years 🥲💗

[@NikoleHorkin]

You are THE expert of moving now 😂❤❤❤

[@RunikusArts]

I really think the Katnipp Studio neon sign and pink wall should be in the inlayed wall below the skylights! But if you're putting the "warehouse" section there with storage ... maybe not. It just seems like such a great spot that would highlight the skylight space.

[@LouisaEnstone]

Your seagulls comment at the skylight made me laugh. I used to have exactly the same at my old office. They would all crowd around the skylight while I was eating lunch and they'd stare at me. It was hilarious.

[@KenzBee]

you can tape a silhouette of a bigger bird on the skylight to prevent seagulls and other birds from hangin there ! it also feels wild that i've been following since the first two offices!

[@FeyFen]

about the potential seagull noises... just create a cute derpy seagull character for the summer and it'll be more fun to have them around, haha.

[@izzybizzy-v3j]

I know it's hard to convey tone over text, so let me preface this by saying I'm also a small business owner and I love watching you and learning from all the steps you take and the advice you give. I've been subscribed to you for many years now and I'm just a curious bee. I mean no disrespect to you or anyone who may reply. From my perspective watching your journey, I feel like you should have stayed in the Katnipp Cafe studio. You say it was a mistake to move in there originally, but I don't think so. You only just downsized a year ago which is honestly no time at all in the business world, and you've just moved again with one of the reasons you're needing more space. It makes me feel like maybe you jumped the gun a bit on deciding to move last year? Especially after you had put all that work into customizing it to work for your needs with room to expand if needed. Genuinely curious if the benefits have outweighed the time and cost sink of being in, now, 3 studio spaces in such a short time, because renting/hopping commercial property in the US is not cheap, but I figured the UK might be different?

[@caitlynscreativity2613]

I can’t believe I’ve been watching you for 3 years! That’s crazy, time flies

[@ashleighwatts9479]

Congrats on the new studio! Could this see the return of the Katnipp Cafe? 👀🤭

[@elisamilan]

I REMEMBER THAT FIRST MOVING VLOG WHEN YOU MOVED FROM YOUR TWO ROOM TEENY SPACES! That is insane. I almost teared up with you watching it. How amazing and fun! Much love to you Catherine. Absolute best wishes. 🌷🌈✨

[@fufufuaru]

ooh the nostalgia, you were still in the smaller studio when I started watching your videos and a little while later you moved into your big studio with the amazing view

[@KatnippStudios]

Hehehe it’s such a throwback isn’t it 🌸🥹🌸🌸🌸

[@dgonzalez1018]

Wow, I can’t believe how long I’ve been watching you! Once you went through your history, I realized holy moly…I’ve been here since the end of 2018 before you got your big office. So happy for your progress and all your wins!! 🌸

[@leeraxd]

omg! I remember your first studio. Time flies! I can’t believe that was 5 years ago. The new one is so cute and it seems brighter and bigger but not as big as the last one. Also you getting emotional in the 2020 studio made me cry too 😭

[@linzertube]

It’s going to be GREAT in the new studio! A lovely, bright space!

[@MythicalFamilyYT]

ahhhhhhhh!!!! Crying!!! I watched every one of those videos in that history. Me and my daughter. You inspired her so much to keep drawing and working on art. Those were some hard years for her, for everyone. Oh goodness. I’m so excited for you and can’t wait to see the new decor etc. We adore you all ❤❤❤

[@mikayamada8276]

I’m so happy I was able to be a part of your journey! I’m so proud of you. Thank you for sharing the process with us!!!! Time flies and I didn’t realize so much time has passed

[@gooseygatherings]

Well, this has made me realise I've been following you for almost five years which is mindblowing! Where's the time gone?! I hope you get to properly settle into this space, it sounds like it's a good fit.

[@sahbery]

You could try and bring back in the Katnipp cottage! it was so cute, the back wall would be perfect for it and you would have one of the skylights to bring light in. I think having all those windows where you usually film at your desk might be a nightmare

[@CloverWoodss]

I cannot believe I’ve been here since your first studio- I didn’t even realize how long it’s been!!!! Congrats on the new studio!!! Good luck on moving, I wish I could help 😂 I love helping with putting things in a new space. It’s so enjoyable for me even tiring. Best of luck!!!

[@gemmaohanlon6312]

I remember all of these studios and watching you grow not only as a business but as a person. I adore you and your content and this is by far the most perfect studio! So excited for you 🥹🙌🏼🪴

[@nancye7520]

YAY! Don’t you just love the chance to reorganize and freshen the processes and the creative environment?!? It’s work, but the reward will be great.

[@b.knotty]

I’ve been watching from the beginning, it’s crazy to see the growth. So happy for you to get what you originally wanted. You are glowing! So happy! 💛

[@maziekate]

the old studio recaps were so nostalgic! been here since your first ever studio vlog ❤

[@meeshelly25]

AHHHHHHHHHH i haven't been following you since 2018!!!! NO! I can't believe it's been that long. AW! You were my first creator I started following because you were such a huge inspiration for me to be 100% my own boss with my business. It's been 9 months since I have been and I appreciate all the advice and the transparency you've provided. THANK YOU!!!!

[@JM-ov7je]

Wow just realized I've been subscribed to your channel since the beginning of your katnipp journey. You were an inspiration for me to start my own business, I still haven't started anything 😂 but I love watching your work ethic and your growth. You're a true inspiration 🙌

[@ArinSauls]

Yep… Watching more of your Vlog… It brings me back to when I started following you in 2020 right as you were moving out of your previous studio into the one that you put the little katnipp house in the back of it in. I do remember you making a lot of comments about the lighting and then moving into the studio that you guys are in now after having that bigger studio and how even though you missed the little house in the studio you had in the back… You thought that the one that you’re in currently now was a better fit for you guys. The price was actually better as well and now you guys are moving into another one, so I hope it’s what you guys are wanting. You guys have grown so much that I don’t want you to run out of space is my only concern.

[@redbeau]

Wow, just realised how many years that I have been watching your channel! I remember when you started doing Studio Vlogs and I’ve watched every one since 🙌. I have a product business in the North West (so not too far) and I watch you while packing products up. Danielle x

[@melliepop1]

I’ve been here since 2018 and the first little studio. Feels like yesterday ❤

[@EllieandGinger]

I loved this video! I realized that I've been here since your first studio :) I appreciate how transparent you are and what you share. Watching other shops go through growing pains and being able to pivot and handle change is really inspiring. Natural light is so so important! I can see why you wanted to make the change for sure. Best of luck with the move!

[@mortderire8354]

I work from home and recently got promotion and treated myself to some of your items which I truly love and when im working I love to look at them! your videos inspire me so much and give me so much comfort.

[@Eli-lc4bm]

Truly an inspiration! Been following your journey for years. When I attended Etsy's webinar yesterday my 7 year old daughter jumped out of her seat super excited when they announced "katnipp" was going to be featured. Even my kids love your videos.

[@umbilicalbeat]

I remember when you moved into your very first studio. I can't believe it has been that many years. So happy that you have a new space that has skylights. There's nothing like natural light to brighten the mood. Congrats!

[@contagiousleigh_xx222]

Great decision! That new studio is beautiful and bright, definitely matches your aesthetic. Hopefully it’ll inspire a new surge of creativity for you. I think putting the pink wall and neon sign above the machines and heat presses would be the best choice. Will you be moving the shelving from your current studio into the new space? Or getting some new built ins? Love love love your channel 😊💖 your videos and products always make me smile xx

[@theknittingrev]

Gosh I remember your first little studio! What a journey this has been! All the congrats! 🥰

[@murr4423]

i've been watching u for 3years already and you have been such an inspiration! You are so relatable. I started to be a merch artist the same time as you did so i learn a lot form your journey. Also as a big girlie, you inspire me so much to work on my health cuz gurl you look so glowing!

[@ArinSauls]

I’ve seen a few of your studios, and I think it’s fun to move from time to time. I did really love when you had the katnipp studio with your own little like house inside of it. I know that space was a little bit too big for you guys at the time, But you made it look so cute when you were there. I think it was the one that you were at before the one that you’re currently going to be leaving from now.

[@maribelfeliciano6155]

OOOOOOOH MY GOODNESS! I never realized that you've been doing this for only five years! I have been following you for almost the whole time, minus when you were working from home and I always just assumed that you were doing this much longer than that. You have come such a long way I'm so happy for you! Very inspirational 👏👏👏👏

[@mrs.quills7061]

Omg this has so much lighting!! I have sky lights in my apartment cuz we’re on the top floor and it’s so lovely especially in the winter.

[@bluemarine9335]

The move is definitely worth it! Such a great space! Love moving vlogs. ❤ The pink wall would look great behind the machines.

[@ladyangeles8698]

I just realized that I've been supporting you since 2018!? It's so amazing to see you and your business grow katnipp! So proud of you and Hoping to see more in the next following years.✨

[@NekoEijiKikumaru]

I've been watching you for years, but it doesn't even feel like it's been so long! Watching how much you've grown has been so amazing. Congrats to you all on everything you've accomplished, and here's to many more successes! Your channel has been so inspiring for my own business, and I just want to say thank you for all of that. The fact that you share your ups and downs makes everything feel so much more attainable. Thank you thank you thank you!

[@gilscot100]

A lovely walk down memory lanes - I remember them all except the bedroom- I started watching just when you moved into your first studio. So excited for you.

[@tammieh647]

I love your new studio I been here the first little studio it’s been great watching you grow in your business. You’re a genuine nice person and so helpful ❤️

[@SoobakStudio]

Dang! Has it already been that many years?!! I didn't realize I've been following you since 2018 xD Your business and art has grown so much 🥺

[@45roadbiker]

It's been such fun watching your business evolve! So loving your journey! Sending lots of love!...Hmmm...pink behind your desk area??? Sign maybe super visible as you walk into studio? On side wall where machines will go? You've probably already figured it out, but so loving your new space and visions!

[@rainzosprinkle]

I love that the plastic pastel drawers have moved with you every time haha.

[@lucijacetin8724]

I live by the sea and I'm holding my fingers crossed that the seagulls won't be too loud for filming because they sure are screaching all the time. And the rain might be super loud on the skylight as well - although the sound can be nice and cosy in the autumn. Also, try to avoid having the windows behind your back when you plan where to place the computer screen, because a lot of light will make it hard to see what's on the screen. I'm struggling with that at my work, especially in the summer. Good luck with your new studio!🎉

[@erin9868]

I love the moving and business aspect of your content just as much, if not more, than the cute and fun and artistic side. Bring on the moving vlogs!!!

[@milli.designsxx]

This new studio looks GORGEOUS! I know how much all the natural light it offers will improve your happiness working in it! ❤ Was so lovely to see your journey of all your previous studios too, I found your channel just before you moved into the big Katnipp Cafe one so was so cool to see how you started out! Excited to see how the new one will end up looking 😍

[@Handmadebusinesstips]

I'm in the middle (painting today!) my studio expansion and I have a pink wall. I love that this video popped up. It's so fun to watch studio tours. I'm branding this side of the studio to reflect me and my brand. I can't wait until it's finished.

[@sthsansth]

I loved seeing the clips of the older videos. I remember your viral video showing up on my feed a few years ago. Also, loved seeing you on the Etsy live! 🌸

[@summerkenson]

Have been here since the first studio, and have LOVED watching your journey all these years later! Such a beautiful human, inside & out!

[@kelcyulrich7647]

I am just so HAPPY for you!! You are such a joy to watch. Enjoy your new space & company growth.❤

[@01poppyblue]

So excited for your new space, it looks so wonderful with all the windows and skylights ❤ Be careful not to put any products that might fade from the sun from the skylights under them. Maybe you could make a little “roof” on top of your shelves to stop the sun from fading any products under them. Can’t wait to see it all set up.

[@tspacefullstop4161]

Oh my goodness..what a journey its been. I remember those early days when you were still working part-time...super duper amazing!!!!

[@81tinkz]

Time flies! Can’t believe I’ve been following you on KZbin since 2018. Have loved watching your business grow. Can’t wait to see what this new season brings for you.

[@Luzska]

Oh Kat, I feel so very proud of you. You have grown so much and I love your new adventures as much as the humble beginnings 💕

[@shirley.illustrates]

I hope your business grows more and you get settle here for a while. Its a nice space. I think the wall with the pressing machines would be the best in pink.

[@stars444]

I’m so excited for you all!! A new space… all that “new” energy going into your biz (once the moving is done! Lol) is super fantastic! Congrats !! Can’t wait to see more!! xxx🎉❤🎉

[@wolf_ceit_witch]

LOL I thought that KZbin recommended an old video! Congrats on the move. I watched you since the early days. I wish you all the luck.

[@r_27P]

I’ve been following your journey since 2018! You deserve every bit of success! 🥰🥰🥰

[@jennywiltshire9279]

I've been following you for years and have seen all your wonderful spaces! Congratulations on the leg of your journey 🎉

[@sofiaabogada8011]

Awwww te sigo desde el principio con tu pequeño y bello estudio y ah sido hermoso verte crecer todos estos años mujer virtuosa y tan talentosa!!!!!❤

[@fionaleaning3984]

I think she is secretly working on painting the whole buildings interior pink, 1 room at a time :) xx

[@andreamoorcroft6127]

Wow, seems I've been here from the start, watching you in your home office room! Good luck with the move, been so interesting to watch your business grow.

[@savannahscribbles]

I'm not crying you're crying 😭I absolutely loved seeing this, been here since 2018 and i'm looking forward to many more years 💗

[@kristymabe8477]

What about half blue and half pink on the long wall where the presses will be and letting the wall light be the divider area? Love all the light in the new studio!

[@CorgiiTube]

I remember finding your vlogs in 2018! I was at a job I really didn't like, and I'd watch your vlogs on repeat to help pass the time. It's so wonderful seeing how far you've come, and it's almost like I've grown with you and am working a much more rewarding job myself! So excited for this next stage in your journey!

[@NaoiseOD]

You might need to reconsider your desk location. You’ll be really close to the windows and the glare on your Mac might make it impossible to see! Depends where the sun is during the day. I’d paint the press wall and the window wall. Big pink hit when you first walk it. Can’t wait to see what you do with it ❤❤❤

[@MISSLEONAJB]

Hey Catherine 🤗 it makes sense as to why you are having to move - you learnt loads with each move and it just shows how well your business is evolving and growing. Wishing you all the best and I cannot wait to see your new space come together 🩷 xxx

[@alieninabox]

A pink wall could look good in that L shaped section behind the shelving 👀

[@rachelsimon5823]

Congratulations. Thank you for your Etsy speech today. I see plenty of light 😉. Congrats again

[@deborahcorreale352]

Loved the studio tour and seeing all your studios. It’s also nice to hear the reasons why are you moved and you talking about your business you’re definitely an inspiration for small business owners everywhere.

[@justclaycrochet]

Looking back at all the spaces you've been in has made me realise how long I've been subscribed to your channel. I'm looking forward to the moving videos ❤😊

[@c.f.callier]

I remember the first studio! I started watching you at that point. Man time sure flies. Congratulations on being able to get the space you wanted!

[@karlamaymartinez]

been here since the first studio!!! You grew sooo much and I am so so happy for you!!

[@49lucky]

Paint on the wall for the presses with the light sconce... Pretty

[@wolfpuppers]

Sooo exciting!! I kinda love moving, feels like a fresh start every time hehe So fun to hear you talking about where everything is gonna go as well. Looking forward to see what it'll look like :D

[@triciaslone5767]

I've been following you since you had about 11,000 subscribers. This studio is going to be great. Love your original two studios as well--fun time in your business with your sister.

[@CozyCraftyVibes]

I remember your first studio. 😊 it has fun following your journey. The new space looks nice.

[@kimverschueren7366]

Can't wait to see the set up from the Studio. Good Luck 🍀

[@kpsfineart-DreamingBearStudio]

I remember your were working in the tiny studio and I loved it. It brought me some good memories when I discover your channel and you. I feel like I was there too through all the moving studios and all the designs you’ve v created. Anyway hope this studio works good for you guys. Have a good trip too. Love you. ^^

[@Lowrunnn]

I cannot believe I’ve been here since you first studio!! I swear that was just a couple years ago 😂 You’re such a huge inspiration to me as an artist and Ive loved seeing you grow over the years!

[@StudyWithElaine]

This space is so bright, enjoy your stay and growth in the new studio

[@gellybeee]

so excited to see how you guys will fix up the space! i've only been a new viewer for a couple of months but your studio vlogs have been such a great comfort to working late nights ☺

[@Ber.itsCold]

So awesome you finally got the space!🥳 When you said “we may have to move” a few vlogs ago I was like “she’s moving soon”😂

[@GeorgieGoullee]

🎉 this feels right!! The light is a major game changer!!! Congrats team Katnipp!

[@GiftingMoon]

Looks great! The light from the skylights will make so much difference, the move will be worth it!

[@GalacticHeroOfTime]

Congratulations! 🎊 It’s so amazing to watch you grew since your first studio! It’s been a joy and I’ve learned a lot from you during these years. I’m looking forward to seeing how this studio looks once you move in! 😃

[@TheAshesvondust]

Awesome! Loved seeing the old studios again. I'm glad you have more natural light. Your plans seem like you won't have shelving or anything blocking the light, which is smart. I LOVE the central packing station idea! All the other stations are solitary jobs, but packing really can become an all hands on deck situation, so having it central is so smart. Since you have so much natural light now, I think the walls facing the windows should stay white so they can bounce the light around the room. Maybe the one end wall with the three windows should be your pink accent? Anyways best of luck and congrats on the new space! xo (P.S. the moving box graphic as sticker labels would be so cute and useful during a move!)

[@persiebun]

I've been watching your videos since you were in that tiny studio and as an illustration student it's been so inspiring watching you succeed and grow!

[@craftyorigins]

Congrats. I hope the new studio gives you a wonderful space to work in. Paint the wall behind you pink. I liked the round abstract shape you did in the current studio.

[@patriciapaints]

I’m here since you started KZbin , what a journey so proud of you ❤

[@bzoll1453]

Insane!!! I’m following you since your first cute office 😮😊❤!!! Adorable, exciting and emotionalrollercoastersadventures!!!❤
