Hey friends! Still a ton of work to do on this new site (it’ll be a work-in-progress for months most likely), and then like I don’t have enough on my plate I decided it was finally time to set up my new-to-me camera that I got months and months ago and mount it above my desk. For those that aren’t aware I work out of our garage (long story – our dishwasher leaked during STAMPtember® 2021 meant major renovations in our home to replace flooring which included the floor in my office upstairs. Since I couldn’t NOT work for the 6+ months of renovations and we have 5 kids AND Chris also works full time from home now (one of the few perks of the pandemic – he was able to transition to working from home which was awesome. No more commuting! But also needing work space for him) the only place left for me was the garage). It’s still a major work in progress but I’m making it work. Biggest issue is heat as we live in Saskatchewan and it’s winter 6+ months of the year and it regularly hits -30 to -50 temps. I have a garage heater plus space heaters (and a heated blanket for my little couch in here where I curl up to type up posts and watch TV lol!).

ANYWHO – since it’s a garage we have 2 garage doors and the garage door mechanism for one of them is directly above where I craft and film. It’s anchored into the studs on the ceiling above and it made sense to attach my camera mount to it since it was secure. Welp, I filmed the video for today’s post with the new set up and realized once I was done that the wind is SO strong that not only does it cause the garage doors to shake (and cause wonderful chilly little drafts in here – so fun) which in turn shakes the mount AND my camera. SO – new project is uninstalling it all (which includes taking everything down from my desk and clearing off everything) and creating something new. That’s the plan for once I finish this post!

All of this to say I have a million things going on, but I’m making progress and it’s all going to hopefully culminate into me being able to film the way **I** want PLUS enable me to start doing live videos b/c I’ve been wanting to start doing those for years and just never had the time to but all the current events finally pushed me to just DO it and get things figured out.

So – today’s video might be a little shakey and I apologize. I don’t have time to re-film the entire thing so I’m keeping it as-is but I’m hoping to have it all fixed before I film the next one!
