What is up? Welcome back! Do you like to do it Lou? Make it. So do we. We have a new video each week so be sure to like, comment, subscribe, and hit that bell so you're notified of each video. This week it's kind of a test cut Tuesday. We got one file. It is a test cut Tuesday. It's just not a last-minute test cut Tuesday and that is different for us. We thought we'd give you guys a little bit more chat. A little less paint. Yeah, so we're going to paint one design so I could focus on chatting or we can. I guess we'll take turns. And this is what we're going to do. We've painted this twice now. Well I haven't painted it yet. You've painted it twice, right? Yeah. Yeah. Well I painted it and then Grayson Sarah painted it. So, where's your um... Yeah, I have it. Who's here, Garrett? Let's see. Let's see. I see Carla, I see Jeff, and Anne, and Minnesota Makes. Chris. Chris. I see Tyra, I see Tammy, I see... Does that see Wiley Covington? Yep. It's tiny. And I see Eric. I told you guys I needed that. Who remembers that? I didn't... A romper room mirror. I didn't see a romper room, honestly. You didn't see it. I thought like everybody saw it. I thought it came on right before like Sesame Street and Electric Company. Man, what happened to Electric Company? That was my jam. Yeah, he says that one all the time. I mean Electric Company had Spider-Man, Electric Company had 321 Contact. Oh, we played this game. We played this game. I mean, yeah. I did the same thing though. Didn't we learn that? They had the Bloodhound Gang. What was that on 321 Contact? I think 321 Contact is the same as Electric Company, didn't we? It's part of Electric Company? Yeah, that's like... The show... The show is 321 Contact? I don't know. We've been through this. We've already done this once. I see Ashley, and Carol, and Jill, Jennifer. What is up, everybody? Oh, are you guys warm? Are you dry? We got a ton of rain, and we heard it got really cold out west. Ashley says she finally made it back from Tuscaloosa. Tuscaloosa. That's a song, isn't it? Hi, Eric. Thanks for joining us. Yeah, Liza's a little guy. Liza's a topper. Yeah, Liza's a topper. Rumpa Room. Cold here in Oklahoma. Oh, it looks like the top camera's frozen. Tammy says, hi from SoCal, where it's racing day crafting for me. Racing day crafting? What's happening? What's she doing over there? Why can I only see half of me? Are we picture-in-picture? I don't know, and you guys let me know if you can't see us or something. They've had some real challenges with cameras today, so of course we're going to have some challenges during our live. We brought it back in here because we're hoping we can get the sound and have no mic issues, you know, all those things we seem to have a challenge with our lives. Let's see, 36 and raining. Chris says, yuck. Yeah, it was like, it was like mid-60s or something today. It was really nice, really nice outside. I had on a hoodie earlier. Well, I went to a funeral this morning, which is sad, but then I came back and put on some leggings and a hoodie, and I was too hot in the hoodie. I just wore my short sleeve shirt. Jennifer, it is not double-sided tape. All I did was flip it over and tape it at the tops and the bottoms, so it's sticky. This is just painter's tape. It's actually called Painter's Mate. Yeah, it's Australian. That's the brand. It's Australian. It's Australian for painter's tape. Annette says she remembers watching Romper Room while on the school bus. Kind of school bus did you have? Yeah. I think they call those limousines. I didn't have a school bus. I walked to school most of my school career. Both ways. Both ways. Yeah, it was horrible. Is this just getting white? Yes. It's 70 in Texas. Oh, that's nice. Oh, that is nice. I wouldn't mind 70. I've been talking to Garrett. I've been saying, so we did this timeshare thing. Well, it's not, we don't own a timeshare, but we did buy some points and we have to use them within a couple of years and they expire in April 30th of next year, FYI. FYI. And we haven't used any of them yet. So I was telling him, where are we going to go? We need to go some places this year. We already have Gatlinburg on our, like for a little family mountain trip. We have that booked in May. And then I was saying we should go, why did I bring this up? I don't know. Oh, Texas, because I want to go to Texas. That's how we need the RV so we can like. I want to go to San Antonio. I want to go to San Antonio. I want to go to Houston. I've only been in Houston, like I landed there and drove somewhere else. So I want to go to Houston. I definitely want to go to Austin, Austin, Texas, because it's like, I feel like Austin is Richmond's sister city. Is that what people are saying? That's what people are saying. That's what I'm hearing. Is that the word on the street? I got my ear on the street. That's it. I got my people out there. That's what the people are saying. All right. So this file looks like a lot. It's really not too bad. You just have to, it's just a couple of, several, several different colors is the thing. It's just you have to be prepared for multiple colors. It's worth it. It's worth it. Is this an actual heart? It's just, oh yeah, this is the heart for this. And then these little flowers. I'll come back for a second coat on that bad boy. Thank you for that.  Wait, wait a minute. Let's finish our travel thing. See if I've gotten the comments because I want to answer them. I lived in Houston for 19 years before moving to South Carolina. So do you like South Carolina or Houston better? It's my question.  Do you want to go back? Have you been back? Hala hangers. Oh, Helen's here. What's up, Helen? I didn't know if you'd be able to make it. Yeah, I think she's out vacationing right now. I got your email. I started your response, but I haven't finished it yet. It deserves a long response. Kim crafts emails. I write emails. Kim crafts an email.  Her email is like this long. That's what happens. You've got a lot to say. I forget to respond by the time I get to the bottom. Oh, Eric says try San Antonio in 2024 when the next eclipse is going to pass just west of San Antonio. Oh, I need to see an eclipse. I think I should see one before. Travel and show the kids parts of the country. Yeah, travel workshop. Yeah, travel workshop. I said that. I want to do it. Chris is happy to see Helen. All right, let's keep moving here. So you got some different colors. Yeah, because I have different pieces here because my bicycle here, the forks actually connect to the wheel. I've seen some designs out there similar to this one. Where the anatomy of the bicycle is incorrect. And it annoys me as a bicycle enthusiast. Yeah. No one else is noticing it because the rest of us just occasionally ride a bicycle. He's looking for all the components. The forks have to go over the wheel and the fender. The forks don't stop at the fender. The forks don't go on the outside or the inside of the wheel. Yeah, the wheel is not floating. I actually have forks that go over the wheel so the anatomy is correct. That's all I'm saying. Steve says hello from Wisconsin. What's happening, Steve? Wisconsin sounds cold. Is it cold there right now? I feel like I'm stuck on this cold thing. Yeah, Garrett can't handle the cold even though it was a beautiful day. You don't even know it was a beautiful day. Were you even outside at all? It was cold this morning. I think this was the last time you were out. It was a double hoodie morning so I didn't go back outside. We'll probably use that for a flower. Should I be painting something? Yeah, I'm giving you a little bit of gray. Okay. Do you happen to have a sponge? Yeah. I don't have the gray roller. Sorry, I didn't bring it. I'm going to go ahead. You kind of have to peek from a distance. Oh, I did it, yeah. We'll zoom in a little. It's frozen. It's okay. You guys can see. It's good. It's more here about the chat. We're chatting it up. Chatting with my friends. I don't get out much. He's changed the chain to that laptop. For sure. I'm going to make you do right now. You got anything else? It's gray. Okay. Hold up. Hold up. All right. This is your frame. It is black. This is blue. And then this is pink. So you do have a little. These two have to be. Oh, yeah. I'll paint that. I'm a single sponge kind of person. Eric says, I'm tempted to go back to Houston. If it was just Christina and I, but the kids are settled into school for now. Probably when the last one leaves, we'll change our address to Texas and not tell them. I was going to say that. I mean, you can always go get milk and then just start living in Texas. Forget to come back with the milk. I threaten that. I threaten that all the time. Rich says, I never thought doing markets could be such a profitable business. You definitely give inspiration. Yep. I mean, it is what you're doing. Yep. I mean, it's a hustle doing this craft. This is a hustle. And like she said, I'm a chain to the the laptop making new designs. And I don't know, but it's cool though. I enjoy it. You enjoy it. I like the going and just and I can't wait to push those craft shows a little further west. I want to get that RV and then travel around to craft shows and stuff. But we're not there yet. We are going. Our furthest one is going to be Columbia, South Carolina, which will be in the first weekend March and then the second week back here. Nope. That's a pink, I think. Given that a little bit, so the pink will sit on top. I know it's a pale pink and the pink will get lost. What color is this blue? That's a spa. Yeah. But you know what my favorite part is Jill says things are taking the time to notice the proper structure of a bike. Yes. You're welcome. It annoys me so much. I hate when they're like when I come across clip art or the bike is all wrong. I'm like that. That bike won't even go anywhere. Why is there's no triangle in the back? There's no front triangle. We're trying to do here. I'm just standing. You're captivated by my bicycle ramp. Well, I'm missing what's happening is I'm missing some sponges and I'm like I don't have the sponge. I don't have the roller. And so I can't. I don't know what to do next. I'm just going to ignore that for right now. I'll move on to painting something else. I'll be right back. I'm going to go on an adventure and go find it. Do you know what you're looking for? Navy. Naval. Yeah, we're working on our craft design. We're going to redesign our craft and they're very functional. But I want it to look better. I want it to be more artistic. So I think we're going to go to another version of the first craft booth setup that we did. The three standing with the we use the fence pickets on opposite sides. We did the standing racks. I think we're going to do a lighter weight version of those and do a pegboard. Some four by eight foldable pegboards. So we're still we just actually were talking about that an hour ago. It's going to be a video for the end of this month. Childlike. That's your light pink, which is your bike frame. Yeah. And not the words. We decided that ended up being too light, but it looks great for the bike frame. Gotcha. And then I won't tell you that I don't have the ruler. Hey, I found some sponges. Oh, I brought some sponges. Oh, good. Bam. Because I'm on top of it. These sponges feel weird. Yeah, they do feel weird. I rate you feel more rubbery. I like doing this as a business because I like going to the craft shows. I enjoy the craft shows. He's the only one. The weather is nice. Yeah. No, because I like walking around and a lot of them have the music and they have that food that hurts my stomach that I can't resist. Yep. And there's always like that, that candy nut, candy nut vendor or a peanut vendor or popcorn. And those are my three Achilles heels. I love. That was my jam right there. Can we use a little of that? Can we share this little plate right here? Yeah, me and you will share. Oh, yeah. Happy Valentine's Day. Oh, happy Valentine's. That's why I was wearing red. Yes. We didn't even start out that way. Happy Valentine's Day. Thanks for joining us on this Valentine's Day. Yeah. You guys are all my valentines. That's so sweet. You guys are so nice. I didn't do anything for Valentine's Day this year. I'll be making dinner for the older kids are coming over after this and I'm going to make a little dinner. So I'll be working for Valentine's Day. They should make them make dinner. Yeah. They should be. Well, it's not Mother's Day. I mean, we should all be eating out for dinner. That's really what means to happen. Yeah. You can't handle that. Nope. Well, I mean, it takes too long to eat out. Joy wants to know what program you use for your designs. Oh, Adobe Illustrator. Adobe Illustrator. I love Adobe Illustrator. That's all I know is Adobe Illustrator. Yes. I haven't even tried Inkscape. I hear good things about it. Well, what I really do and tons of stuff about is Silhouette Studio. I know a lot of you guys that are that's another great one. I've been using Illustrator for like 20 years, though. So that's my go-to. Stick with what you know. Can't teach an old dog new tricks. Wait, why am I opening this? I don't know. Me either. I guess I was I was doing it out of guilt. I feel guilty that I use Illustrator. Why? Because it's a fee to pay for it. Yeah. You have to pay for it. Yeah.  Good luck trying to figure it out. So, I mean, it's not bad. It's pretty easy to use. It's pretty, I feel like it's pretty intuitive and it just keeps getting better. And there's so many little tools and shortcuts that do things for you. I don't know if Inkscape has those types of things. I don't know what types of things. But you know what? I've been using Lightburn more and more and their Image Trace Tool is pretty good. You have a good image. You can use your Image Trace Tool and do a lot. Yeah, I think Scott, Scott could tell you that. I know he uses that Image Trace Tool. Yeah, we're Scott. Well, it's Valentine's Day, so he's probably somewhere. Oh, I'm off with my new wife. Blah, blah, blah. I hope he's doing something cool. Man, that guy with his concerts makes me jealous getting all backstage at like two concerts now, I've seen. So is this the spa? And this the fender? Yes. And then this, actually I was doing the bottom of the basket here. This whole thing needs to be done and I was doing it in brown. Brown. Like you have here. Okay. But I didn't bring that. So you can do it in black maybe? Would that be too much? No, I think black will work. I haven't tried it yet. We can see how that goes. That sounds promising. Yes. So our 18-year-old just got her license. Monday. Monday. Oh, last Monday. Last Monday, right. This is week two. And we are you know, 40 minutes from home and we let her drive home. In my car. In Garrett's car. Garrett's Garrett's prize possession. I love my car. So I heard the, I don't know if you guys heard that bing bong. That meant somebody arrived at home. So it was probably her. Which means she made it. So that's good news. Which means my car made it. Well, I don't know. It's not enough time for her to have made it. That might not have been her. Could have been an Amazon delivery. Yeah. All right. So this goes on the bottom. I'm looking to see like which of these I need. The pain on this one are all the little flowers, but when they come together they're just so cute. So patience, but it looks great when it does come together. All right. What's going on here? Oh, hi, Marissa. First time here. Marissa.  That's the way to do it. Yeah. Pro tip. Pro tip. Pro tip. Keep your rollers in a plastic bag. Oh, sure, Steve. It's right behind me. A snack bag will totally work. Life's a journey. Enjoy the ride. So I think, is that what you're, I can't really see which camera is on us. Isn't the main camera? Yeah. Oh, okay. You just scrolled up. Okay. You can see, now I lost the chat. It's back there somewhere. What do I do? The funniest part about all of this is what your job used to be. There you go. I'm fine. I was going to find it. I got you. It was just helping out. Rich says we have a pork farm vendor that sends an employee around to take orders for breakfast pork sandwiches. Oh, yeah. And lunch pork burgers. Oh, my gosh. That's what I'm talking about. I love when you do that. At the farmer's market, when we do the farmer's market, there is the front half of our farmer's market is all food. And so there's this little taco table where she makes some amazing Mexican food. Oh, is that the empanada place? No, I'm talking salsa's Don Sebastian. Oh, yeah, that one too. They have Don Sebastian's got the best chips. The best chips. The best chips. And the best salsa. The best salsa. Anyway, there's also a sausage guy up there. And there is a line every Saturday down from his... Hey, I'm a sausage guy. Same with the one downtown. So either both the farmer's markets have a sausage guy. And that sausage biscuit is so yummy. Nope. We're not doing that right now, although you really want to, right? What? Clean. Clean the... I do. It drives me crazy when there's dried paint in the rim. I want to spend the time to clean it out like right now, which I don't have time to do. Yeah, no time, kid. Gotta keep on moving. Right. Good call, Steve. Steve says if you have a kid in school, you can sign up for Adobe through them if they have school email address. And it's way cheaper. Yeah, it's like $17 or $19 a month for the full suite. Right now we have one in college, and I had a... So we could get a second license. Garrett has his license that he's had forever, but we needed more people on, so... Making designs. So we got a second license, and Isabel... It's Isabel's account, but we can use it, and she uses it, and that's been a great, like, I guess, cheaper alternative. Oh, I think those are supposed to be a garden spot. But you could try it on green. Okay. Someone with bright green leaves. Well, yeah. Hi, Lori. Thanks for joining us. Lori Chavez is here. Hi, what's up, Lori? Ashida. Hello, y'all. Jill, do you have... Do you use Life360? Talk about a hustler. Yes, that's what you hear, Jill. Do you use Life360 for the new drivers? We have it. Yep. And use it for years. It really gives us peace. Yep. I love Life360, yes. And if you drop off the map, whew, you're in trouble. If it didn't say 1% battery before you disappeared, you're in trouble. Rich says, can you transfer from Adobe to Cricut Design Space? Well, you can export your design or your image as a SVG and import that SVG in the Cricut Design Space. Oops, I want to reach for my step. All right, so for our flowers, the flowers are lots of different colors, so I guess I'm just going to put some more paint on your palette here. So, yeah. I would say you make almost all of our designs with Illustrator because Illustrator is all vector-based, is all numbered-based. So it'll export out as a clean SVG at the size you want it at. And I think Inkscape is also vector-based. But Photoshop is pixel-based. Don't try to make it.   It's not going to come out right. Have you ever been even messed with Photoshop? Me? Yeah. Just when I went in there to color-correct some images to post them on designs on our website. Just that. That's it. Alright, I made a light purple. I don't know if you could see. I made some dark purple and some white. We do that all the time because I wanted to make this little guy a purple flower. Purple flower? Yeah. That guy's done. Hey, look at that. We're almost done already. I'm too bad. I just have to do these little flowers. An assembly as a breeze. Lori says hi back. Oh yeah, that's what I was about to say. We were talking about the craft game being a hustle. Lori's a hustler. Helen's a hustler. I see them posting all the time. Yeah, you guys will have to. If we don't already follow you Tagus and something so we can follow you. Yeah, Tagus and something will follow you. I like watching to see what other people are doing and what they got going on. The re-imaginings. That's my favorite. Yeah, yeah. Other people's color schemes. I like those too. And I'm working on some man signs. Yes! We wanted so for our workshops. We're trying to get some date night. We've been getting a lot of men in. But they're doing like I don't know, there's like three guys that all did the sunflower. So I want to offer them other things that they might enjoy. But they could do and use and it's their sign. So I got some outdoorsy ones coming. I got some garage ones coming. What do you think will happen? There might be some skulls. I think you're going to get like a green aquamarine green. What are you trying to do? What are you making now? What's that? It's a great garden green. Garden green. I wanted to make this color which is more of a aqua than a teal. That makes sense. But I think we're going to go with this weird green. Weird green, there you go. I love it. Well and since it's obviously got this tone in it, maybe I could put the teal on top. Yeah. Just did that real quick. And then maybe a little dappos and a little dab of the pink in there.  I got to put a second coat on the becker. Annette has her subscription to Adobe Creative Cloud. She loves it. Yeah you know what I love about Creative Cloud? I'll save the files up there and then Kim can come in later on and look at them. As long as we're using the same fonts. We have all the same fonts. And if he converts it then You can mark something up. I tweak it and try to get it to a cut file. You approve it and I make it a cut file. All up there in Adobe Creative Cloud. Oh my goodness you guys. We have the cutest. We're just working on one together like that. Do you guys want a chicken coop one? I know I mentioned it. But now we've got it designed and he's working on making it a cut file. We actually have two versions. One with some little chicks chasing behind. And they're just marching behind. They've got their little feet out. They're just adorable. And then the other one actually has a chicken coop on it. And the chicks are kind of laying around the sign. So that's going to be a little hard for him to make it into a cut file. But man once you get it figured out it's going to be so cute. I'm trying to make all the little chips look layered and stuff. So that's where I'm at right now. I'm stuck on the chicks. Stuck on the chicks. That could be taken out of context. A begun chicks. Wiley says I only have a Facebook and Instagram. That's what we follow everybody. Facebook and Instagram. Lay it on me. Go out there. Post something and tag me. I'll come follow you. And Kim will probably creep on your page. And accidentally like something from a year or two ago. Where is he going with this? Why is he saying that? What was I doing? You had to show me something. It was not that long ago I did that. I was just going to show him something somewhere. Creeping on somebody's page. And she was going to hit the like button. I was like how old is that? It was like two years old. It was like I'm going to unlike it. Damage is already done. Too late. They already got the notification that you were creeping on them. Yeah, that's funny. What other colors? I think I'm done with the rollers, right? Where is that? Yeah, I think so. I need a little pink here. You guys want a sneak peek at what this big video is? I'm impatient. That's why I can't buy Christmas presents until like 23rd of December. Yeah, he is the worst. If I get a Christmas present pre Thanksgiving, that's it. It's a Thanksgiving day present. I can't wait. Yes, it's so true. Did you do the yes, you did? I did. And then the wheel. Probably needs a second coat. You think so? You look good. On the rim. And then the forks. What happened to my little pink pink sponge? Right here. I used it. You want it again? Watch what you can do. I got it right here. You guys don't already do it. Cut these off and you can use it again. Well, I just did it for you. I just did it. I already did it. What other color do I need to paint this one? I usually do an antique antique white, but I don't have that with me. Oh, let's do an orange. Let's toss a little. Ooh, we're going to get adventurous. Carnival in there. Carnival! That flower has seen some things. These bend places. I think we're going to start putting it together. Yeah, we do it. Put it together. It's going down. One step at a time. I'm sorry, you guys can't see. I hope you guys can see okay. Yeah, can you guys see okay? Let's see. We're starting to put the... Just tagged you both on the strawberry round and enjoy the ride on our page. Yep, Lori, I know who you are. Oh, yeah, Lori. Yeah, how did you do your picture? That picture... I was like, is that an ornament size? Or how you made it blurry behind? It just looked cool looking. Professional looking. I was going to comment and say, hey, how'd you do that picture? Tyra says the chicken will be cute. I'll hang it on my coop door. Yeah, wait till you see it. It is so freaking cute. Oh, creepy away. What? What'd I miss? Oh, you get creepy. I was getting creepy. On the Facebook page. I don't really get creepy. I don't do a lot of that looking around. Yeah, you do.  You're like, ooh, look at this. And then you'll always click on that. I mean, if somebody's got some cool designs and stuff, I'll go check in it out. You're always clicking on there. Their main page. Oh, a little piggy one. Mmm. I haven't considered doing a little piggy one, but I could. You have or haven't? We don't have one. We have the chicken and we have the cow. But I mean, I might as well finish my farm animals, right? And do a pig. And do a pig.  I guess, yeah, what other farm animals are there? Do we still use our X tool? We do. We do. We just haven't been able to do it. As a matter of fact, I just had it out talking about it. And I think I'm going to take it to the craft show. What are we going to do it to personalize? Oh, some door rounds that just say that something, something family. And I want to be able to take a request and have Gary go out there and cut them. Oh, we got to paint the ring. Oh, yeah. We're going to do the lime green on the outer ring. So I haven't been able to do a video lately because we have the new polar laser and we're committed to do 10 videos for them. So I've been working trying to get those 10 videos out. We have another polar laser video coming this week because we're showing you anybody that has a smaller laser a 12 inch bed we're going to show you how to do a 16 inch round with a 12 inch bed. I was asking if you wanted to give a teaser. You guys already know. Oh, yeah. Is that all you were going to say? Or were you going to go show the sign? I was going to show the sign. I know. You were going to go way too deep. You were going to go way too deep. That's what I was thinking you were going to do. I'm going to start gluing this to help you down if you're going to finish that ring. Yeah, that would be good. I'm just going to use this star bond and put it inside the score marks. You can barely see the score marks on this thing. Can you see them? Garrett's tip is to put the glue on on the board. Not try to put it on the piece. Yeah, but I always drip it when I'm trying to move it. This green, I don't like this green. It takes a few coats to make it seem to be solid. Tea town shirts. Oh, shoot. I didn't know there was another tea town. Holy Toledo. What does that mean? Other two tea towns? Oh, Tyra says find your f-stop on your camera and go to the lowest number, like 1.4 and that will blur the background. Oh. Thanks, Tyra. Yeah, thanks. Hey, speaking of which are you guys going to be on the Zoom call? There's a patron Zoom call on Wednesday. Oh, yeah, tomorrow. Oh, gosh, tomorrow. Yeah, tomorrow. This week is going back quickly, isn't it? Yeah. Like, I was surprised to hear it was this week. Yesterday at the a little planning meeting. A little planning meeting. A weekly planning meeting. Can somebody notice that we practice agile as a craft shop? I saw that you posted on our story the picture of the wall. I didn't go back to it. Were there comments on it? Yeah, somebody said something about that's funny that you're using agile in your craft business. We are. A little scrumboard up there. That's why we use a sauna, too. We use a sauna. That's what we were doing. So we call it, too. Our day jobs, our former day jobs. Creep it into our business. We did our sprint planning.  I have a flux of BMO and my bed is 8 by 11. Well, you'll be able to do this one. Will she? I guess 8 will do it. I think you can shrink it by an inch and then do what I teach you in this video. End of the work. I have the M1 and got that in October only to use it a few times, but I don't see many using or making videos on them anymore. But embroidery for me keeps me crazy busy. All right, Tyra. See you tomorrow. She's not going anywhere. She just said I'll be there tomorrow. I expect to see you. I'm going to hold you to it. Yeah, we'll do another X-Tool video. Probably not until April. I think it'll be done sometime in March with the 10 videos. I think most of the videos that we do with the X-Tool for the Polar Laser, I pointed behind you like it's still there, can be done on like 8th inch using the X-Tool. And you can use a light burn with X-Tool. Well, and I think you can do some door rounds that are going to be a lot slower with the X-Tool, but maybe we'll do some other smaller. I have some smaller home decor projects coming up. Things that aren't door rounds that we're going to do with the laser. So those might be easier on the X-Tool as well. How's it going? Going well. How are you doing? I'm pretty good. I'm blue. I'm on my blue. What are you looking for? This marker. Got a little green paint on the inside. My fingers touched it. A little messy on this ring. It gets quiet during glue time. And it also gets quiet during glue time when we do workshops. The whole place gets quiet. Yeah, we can tell when people are gluing. That means when I hear when I see it's about glue time I head over to bow town and I start prepping bows. I'm doing the standard design who's doing a different color scheme and I start pulling colors. We had two girls here on Sunday and she did all of hers in she had gold and green green and gold. I was going to say I don't have any glue on that. I don't know. I was using it to line it up. To line up your bike. She had green gold and mauve. She custom mixed her own mauve go girl. I was like here's my mixing palette. I think if we mix these two colors It came out awesome. It did. The funny part about that was she brought her own gold spray. She was like do you have gold paint? Of course we do. I had left the room and came back and I could see she had tried the gold paint but I guess it wasn't shiny enough for her. So she was like out of her purse. I brought this gold spray paint. Was it a metallic gold chrome? Yeah well it didn't go on that way. The top to the spray can was super shiny like a gold I mean super shiny chrome. Gold chrome. I don't know what that's called. I was like oh my gosh can you put that color on a door around. I sprayed it on and it didn't look like that. It was a beautiful gold and so she was like I hope you could find a bow to match this and I was like always girl I'm good at the bows so I did. She took some pictures and tagged us if you can go find it. She was just here this weekend. Oh did you see her post on social media? Yeah she took some good pictures too. Oh good. And then we made a perfect bow. She had her door around and had I found like this rose gold. It was kind of like this mauve ribbon that had gold weave through it. I was like girl I got you look at this I got the perfect ribbon. So we used that. Another bit of rose gold and then two different golds and so her ribbon was all gold and rose gold. The whole thing looked good. It looked professional. Reimagining. I have seen some really cool things that you just like I know I've shared with you guys before but like the Christmas one with the Christmas lights these girls came in and they did it in purple and like this teal they did a teal the green purple had some gold in there and it was so cool looking like I mean I just did mine and red and green and yellow like traditional Christmas lights and they took a completely different reimagining. Yeah I think that's some of my favorite favorite ones when they get crazy with the colors. Somebody was in there doing ombre one time and that one came out pretty good. Steve says won't be able to make it on the call tomorrow going to see Winnie the Pooh Blood and Honey Is that a movie that's come out? Why does that sound familiar? Do I know about that?

You got me with my own joke. You just demonetized yourself. I'm gluing. I can't be bothered. I see you're very, very focused right now. Do you want me to take a turn? Do you want to chat some? Read to me. Steve, are you using the star bond thick? You know it. You know it. I love that. It's Valentine's Day, you guys. You guys are definitely trying to get us demonetized today. Yes, it's the thick ones. I like a glue with some junk in it. It's drunk. Yes, I will tell you. I like big glue and I cannot lie. We have some of the regular star bond and I was using it the other day and it's just It's so watery. It is runny and I was trying to, we were in a neighborhood like a little pop up thing and I was trying to put our tag on the back. We have a wood tag with the QR code and I was trying to stick that to the back and I had broken the cap to the thick bottle, the star bond thick. But I happened to have the blue bottle in my bag too and I put that on there and it started running and I couldn't get the thing that I was like, this lady was already checked out and was ready to go when I noticed it didn't happen. Hold on, let me ruin this thing before I give it to you. Yes, that's what I did. I was like, I'm sorry, I know you think I'm crazy right now. I just wanted to put this on here for you. And now it's giving me so much trouble. Hold on, let me break a couple of these letters off. I was really trying to mess up her sign last minute, yeah. Well now my sign just says hell. Go on, get it. Put that together for you, look at there. Thanks. And I think I could put this one together for you. Oh, I've already found it needs a little TLC. No, it's two layers and they don't line up. You think you're going to line up, but they don't line up. Jeff said this chat went south real quick. This should have been the after dark show, right? You know, we're always teasing about coming here after dark. Thank you, Helen. Helen's putting it out there showing them where they can get our stuff on our tour. Yep, all the SVGs and everything are out there. Oh, but, you know. Helen says I can make any show after dark. Send the lights down low. That's our podcast. Wait for the podcast. Yeah, you should have seen him on Sunday. We did have the lights down low, right? For the patron after show.  I was like, did you just want me to talk like this? It's ghost stories. We'll just tell ghost stories. It's ghost stories with Kim and Garrett. So he finally got a good compromise. The weekend that you were at the craft show and I was here waiting to do the thing. I'm in here editing and there was a huge loud boom. So I stopped and I listened and then there was like some wood falling and I was listening and it sounded like some wood falling and I got up and it stopped when I hit the door and I was like, man, there's somebody in here. There was somebody roaming around the warehouse back there and I opened the door and it was a cardboard box that ripped. Like it just ripped on its own? Yeah, it just ripped on its own and the wood was slowly falling out piece by piece and I was like, man. You big scaredy cat. He got me because I was getting ready to fight. I was like, at least I got my shoes on. Let's go. I got my shoes on. Really you got ready didn't you? I was ready. I was ready. Let's go, man. I got my shoes on. I need one of those little micro q-tips to fill these circles in. I need that micro tip. Yeah, that micro tip. Okay, good luck with these. These are going to be tricky. This goes up here. Does it now? It does. You sure? Yep. You can see it does. This goes down here. This goes over here. That goes up there. This little guy goes in here.  All the way home. Everybody's laughing. That was so scary. Several things. I'm sure Helen wrote, let's turn the lights down low. We're telling ghost stories. You're afraid of the dark. It wasn't even dark out. Oh, there it goes. I got it. All right now. These flowers, I know I can't zoom in, but they're a little bit of a puzzle piece. I try to make them distinct puzzle pieces, though. Yes, great job. You can only put it in one way. There we go. You want to hold it up so they can see? I think I should glue it first. Hold it up after you glue. Hold it up after you glue, yeah. Then this little guy is going to go let's see, with some top of orange, maybe a good pink. A little pink. I have yellow here, but I don't think that's going to match. Get your yellow out of here. I'm going to try to do two at a time. Double them up. Double them up. Give me your double triple. Somebody was offended by my double triple comment in one of our videos. What does that mean?

The defendants unlawfully did molest and obstruct John Hudgkins and John Millen. Being workmen in the employment of the said John Hanbridge, with a view to coerce the said John Hudgkin and John Millen to quit the said employment contrary to the Act, which amended the criminal law relating to violence, threats and molestation. It is to be emphasised that the defendants were not themselves participants in the strike, but they were acting in support of those who were participating. It made it an offence for every person to do one or more of the unlawful acts, including the workers directly involved, as well as third parties, as in this case. 150 years ago, 16 women were made an example of by a system of power that sought to resist inevitable change. What does it tell us about Britain today? In 1939, aged 81, Fanny Rathburn died in Chippinorton Workhouse. She died just a few hundred feet from where, 66 years before, she and 15 other women had been part of events which had caused a national furora involving both parliament, government ministers and the aristocratic establishment, and would provoke revisions to the law that would, eventually, help to modernise both people's freedoms and the way the courts in Britain operate. Fanny was born Fanny Honeybone in 1857 in the small village of Ascot under Witchwood, which was once a cheer's even-loaded valley. With its scattered tenant farms and aristocratic landowners, the area was known for its rural poverty. The rural poor largely lived on what they could grow to eat, while the low wages they earned as labourers on local farms, in the forests and cottage industries, paid for the rent and amiga lifestyle. At the end of the 18th century, after the French Revolution, and fearful of similar revolts across Britain, Parliament had passed the Treason Act and the Seditious Meetings Act in 1795. These prohibited political meetings or assemblies to prevent the people organising and made it an offence to even imagine replacing the monarchy with a republic. This was followed in 1799 by the First Combination Act, which prevented workers combining to form a union and press for better wages and conditions. With the end of the Napoleonic Wars in 1815, Britain's domestic economy had collapsed. 13% of the population were receiving poor relief, which had caused a system to collapse under the strain, leading to its national reorganisation in 1834 to create the union workhouses, such as the One and Chip and Norton. To bolster the incomes of landowners, the Corn Laws were introduced in 1815, which kept food prices artificially high and passed the cost of the crisis onto the working poor. Even when the Corn Laws ended in 1846, while helping some, it depressed the rural economy even further. Despite the legal ban, agricultural workers had tried to work together to improve their wages. Most famously, in 1836, the Tall Puddle Martyrs, who had been prosecuted and transported to Australia for trying to organise a strike. In the early 19th century, conditions across the rural South Midlands worsened, as this was the height of the land enclosure boom, taking away the common land that the rural poor could grow food on. At the same time, the first wave of agricultural automation was taking place, reducing the demand for workers. Following a wave of national unrest in 1830, there were swing riots in Chipping Norton and Bambry, where rural people destroyed threshing machines, rural workhouses and tithe barns as a protest against worsening conditions. In 1871, the Trade Union Act repealed the Combination Acts, which made trade unions legal. However, at the same time, the Criminal Law Amendment Act was passed, which made it an offence to, coerce another for trade purposes by the use of personal violence, by such threats as would justify magistrate in binding a man to keep the peace, or by persistently following a person from place to place, hiding his tools, clothes or other property, watching him besetting his house or following him along any street or road with two or more other persons in a disorderly manner. Trade unions were allowed to exist, but they could not actively organise to enforce a strike. With the prohibitions now lifted in 1872, just 20 or so miles away in Wellsbourne, Warwickshire, the National Agricultural Laborers Union was founded. The union spread to Ascot, and on 21st April 1873, local men went on strike for two shilling a day pay rise. The response of the tenant farmer at Crown Farm, Robert Hambridge, was to hire labourers from villages a few miles away on the far side of the forest. On 12th May, between 20 and 30 women from Ascot followed two men employed by Robert Hambridge to try and dissuade them from working that day. The farmer's wife summoned the constable, and the women were persuaded to go back to the village. On 19th May, Robert Hambridge brought a private prosecution under the Criminal Law Amendment Act. He made a complaint to the Reverend Carter of nearby Saarston, who acted as a clerical magistrate for the local Petty Sessions Court. The court issued a warrant for 17 women to appear at the next session's hearing, being held in what was, until 2019, Chippie Norton's police station. The trial, on 21st May, was presided over by two non-expert clerical justices, the Reverend Carter of Saarston and the Reverend Harris of Swirford, both by virtue of their positions, significant landowners. The women had no independent legal representation. As it was a private prosecution, no formal record of the trial was kept. The Petty Sessions were the lowest court in England, and so the two justices were advised by a single clerk. Though the court procedure had been formalized in the 18th century, the method dated back to the medieval menorial courts. The women may have been expected to fine, or to be bound over, to prevent them repeating the act. Instead, the two justices decided that they had no choice but to find them guilty and imposed a sentence required by the 1871 law, prison time, with hard labour. One of the 17 summons, Jane Prattley, could not be identified as having been at the scene and was acquitted. Nine, including two who were nursing babies, were identified as having taken part and were sentenced to seven days with hard labour. Seven were identified as having led the action, and they were sentenced to ten days with hard labour. Prisoners from Chippie Norton would have been taken to the railway station for transport by train to Oxford, but word had already gotten out. By the evening, two to three thousand supporters had besieged the police station and began to stone it, breaking windows and roof tiles. The police telegraphed Oxford to reinforcements. At 10pm, the mayor of Chippie Norton read the riot act to the crowd, giving the authorities not only the freedom to use force, but also indemnifying them against any injuries or deaths caused. At this point, the crowd dispersed. On the morning of 22 May, the sixteen women and two babies were put on cart sent from Oxford and taken to the prison. Accounts of the trial and the riot began to appear in print almost a week later. On 31 May 1873, the spectator, established in 1828 at that time represented reforming liberalism, wrote, The worst of it is that the labourers are beginning to feel that they cannot count on an impartial trial by magistrates of the temper of the clerical shallows of Chippie Norton, and a deep distrust of those who administer the law is growing among them. The time is coming when there will be a cry to which the legislature cannot turn a deaf ear for the reorganisation of the magistrate, and the squires with their clerical allies will have themselves to thank for the revolution that will eject them from the last stronghold of their power. The nine sentenced to seven days left Oxford jail on the morning of 28 May. The other seven were released on the 31st. By that point, questions had been asked in parliament, and word of the trial had spread across Britain. It gave political reformists an opportunity to question not only the application of union law, but also the anachronistic nature of local justice. That, as it had been for centuries, was largely exercised by individuals appointed by local aristocrats. Reform would come, but it would take a century. Workplace picketing was legalised in 1875, and unions would give a greater protection from prosecution in 1906, a system that would persist until the crackdown on union activities in the 1970s. By 1928, all men and women had the right to vote on an equal basis. Even the Riot Act would finally meet its end in 1967, and the courts of a size and petty session were the creation of the magistrates court system in 1980. Yet even today, elements of that system persist. Third-party protests outside factories and offices, as with the Ascot Martyrs, are shut down by police using procedures from trade union legislation. Now, as our economic situation worsens, to maintain power the government are repeating the oppressive response applied in the 18th century, part of a demonstrable turning of the tide over recent years, reversing the progressive changes of the last 150 years. Protests are being banned if they are disruptive. Unions are having their protections reduced, and certain workers are effectively losing their right to strike. And in the courts, protesters are now routinely being denied the freedom to state to a jury the reasons for their actions, and some have been jailed for stating their concerns. Our right to vote has been arbitrarily manipulated to try and favour the governing party. And finally, echoing the political furor after the trial of the Ascot Martyrs, a woman is currently awaiting the decision of the government minister to decide if a judge will be allowed to prosecute her after she held a sign outside a court telling jurors of their right to acquit on conscience. Still today, a narrow establishment interest controls many parts of our professional and political life. For example, in 2018, the Court of Appeal quashed the convictions of three anti-fracking protesters who a judge had decided had been causing a nuisance by picketing a fracking site in Lancashire. The twist in the story wasn't simply that the family of the judge had financial interests in the oil and gas industry to show how the generational exercise of power persists in England. The judge, Robert Altam, is a descendant of Judge James Altam who presided over the Pendrel Witch Trials in 1612. On their return from Oxford, the women were treated as heroes. The union had raised money for their cause and gifted it to them. But the century after the 1860s was not an improvement, but the gradual depopulation and eventual gentrification of the rural landscape, largely excluding the poor altogether. Of the 16 women convicted in 1873, like so many of us across Britain at that time, a quarter emigrated to the USA, Canada and New Zealand. Half of the women lived to the age of 69 or more, many still living locally. Fanny Honeybone, the youngest of the ringleaders, married Edwin Raftband from nearby Milton under which would in 1876. She had 14 children, six dying before their 19th birthday. Edwin died in 1929 and by the late 1930s Fanny was an inmate in Chippinorton Workhouse, where at the last of the 16 Ascot Martyrs she died in 1939. Our ancestors lived through such trying lives in order to hand us the world as it is today and that struggle continues today because, although we might have more material stuff in our lives, deep down with our own wave of automation threatening to take our jobs and living costs driving many to perpetual debt, England has not changed that much. And right now it's ugly beginning to revert to the Victorian values that the English establishment appeared to so deeply cherish.
