Autumn has arrived so suddenly (dont't you think?) and with it I’ve been really ill. 🤕 It’s been a tough journey tbh for a good few weeks, almost a dark night of the soul experience. I feel like a lot has changed for me and in this video I hope to try and explain things as I literally feel forever changed. Mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. Will we ever learn to slow ourselves down to prevent our bodies forcing a stop with something like illness? I’m not sure I will tbh, I never seem to learn this lesson... Feel free to tag me on social media with your thoughts, creations & let's chat in the comments too! Thank you so much for watching & keeping me company in this little corner of YouTube. Biggest Loves, Wendy. Xxs

How I changed my life 90 days (& you can too)

The Unexpected Gypsy 2024-09-29 | ✨How I changed my life 90 days (& you can too) I changed my eating habits to healthy ones, aimed for sobriety and then gave up alcohol, lost weight as part of the process, eliminated caffienated coffee and ultra processed foods, made additions of specific supplements, decluttered my house and studio, organised everything, found new storage solutions. I've basically let my stuff go on every level; emotional baggage, sad memories, grief, as-well-as lots of physical clutter too. I have stayed the course on this quest and now feel lighter, brighter, have loads more energy and a much more uplifted outlook on life. (Which is saying alot right now with the current state of things!) My ulterior motive for posting this video is to encourage you that if I can do it, you can do it too... You are not alone on your quest to become the best version of yourself!

✨I really hope you enjoy the video! Feel free to tag me on social media with your creations, inspirations & creative spaces & let's chat in the comments too! Thank you so much for watching & keeping me company in this little corner of YouTube. Biggest Loves, Wendy. Xxs

Identity & the Imagination ~ Inside my Dressing Up Box & other Curious Items in my Art Studio

The Unexpected Gypsy 2024-09-15 | ✨I thoroughly encourage the art of dressing up, play & self exploration. Even doing it just for fun can reveal all sorts of hidden layers of ourselves. Exploring personal identity & the imagination by visiting a real life fairytale Medieval castle, looking through my own dressing up box as-well-as other curious items I have in my art studio. So let's take a look inside my own private dressing up box and I will share how I use it to explore identity, art journal and in my own creative, artistic practice. Costumes and dressing up can be helpful in our own self development and are so useful in a creative environment. I'm sharing the secret world of my imagination in this one and how I get ideas, inspiration and stay inspired in my creativity. It's much broader than paint strokes upon a canvas... It's fun and deep at the same time!

The Power of Letting Go; stuff, weight, the past, people, comparisons...

The Unexpected Gypsy 2024-09-01 | ✨It's Time to make a start, yes it is... The Power to Let it all Go ~ stuff, weight, the past, (even) people, let them go, comparisons, guilt, other people's opinions... I'm letting go on so many levels atm, an early autumn release of my leaves! My deep decluttering is in process, James has helped with some diy and also helps keep me motivated when I become overwhelmed. I have found some wonderful storage solutions to organize all my art supplies and cleaned up my studio as I have gone along. I have also been doing the same at home! As well as letting go of a lot of my stuff, I have also changed my diet, letting go of ultra processed foods, caffiene, alcohol and have been losing some weight on this journey too. With new eating habits, I feel energized, reset, restored and have a much lighter and positive outlook these days. Clearing my clutter from my spaces (and my body!) has been challenging, an emotional process and a lot of hard dusty work some days too. But, I am so happy I am doing it; mind, body, rooms and soul! I am not finished yet, just a work in progress like everyone else.

Feed Your Soul (esp in a chaotic world)

The Unexpected Gypsy 2024-08-18 | ✨I have loads of ideas in this one for An artist Date or a Date with Inspiration to keep your lights shining bright ~ especially important in our current chaotic and often overwhelming world. And, I find, it's harder to shine some days since the world seems to have changed in so many ways... In this one I am taking you to an art gallery to see Toulouse Lautrec and the Masters of Monmartre, Paris, some studio vlog time and a sketchbook session with a loose, expressive, pencil portrait sketch. Creativity and self-care working together, hand-in-hand.

Finally Facing my Declutter Overwhelm feat; James and Jeffy! & Artists Etsy Shop behind the scenes

The Unexpected Gypsy 2024-08-04 | ✨Unfiltered / Extended Cut of how I have finally fixed my chaos and overwhelm to declutter my studio. James and I tackle everything together in this one as he generously offers creative storage solutions to match my needs. We find thrifted furniture to organise the art shop inventory and packaging materials thus creating much needed space for storing my art materials and supplies. Bless IKEA storage inspiration and organisation! I also talk all things artist shop, running the shop as a small business, the recent troubles with Etsy and the pros of cons of using Etsy. I also go into my thoughts and opinions of AI Art and images, how it's not just a tool and the ethics of selling AI prints on Etsy. I would love to know what you think about that too?

Working on things I need to change

The Unexpected Gypsy 2024-07-21 | Working on things I need to change, cleaning out our dusty corners, physically, mentally, emotionally. Reset healthy eating and good diet habits as well as literally sweeping all my dusty corners in my spaces. Rearrange my studio with me, do some art journaling to process and make big transformations. I want to optimise my storage and organisation of all my art supplies and studio furniture as well as do a declutter & detail clean. And, at the same time as removing all the dust and cobwebs, I am shifting my mindset and habits. It's a truly theraputic process!

Please do feel welcome to share any insights down in the comments below. It's wonderful and healing to share our stories...

Healing from Life & Learning Watercolour in my Sketchbook

The Unexpected Gypsy 2024-06-09 | Feeling lost in LIfe & Watercolour. Healing from life events with art and creativity & exploring watercolour in my sketchbook. I think, in fact I know, adults also need time for hobbies and play. When we take art too seriously, it can feel like such a struggle but when we lose ourselves in the creative flow and allow ourselves to explore & experiment with our art supplies; we can enjoy the process so much more. I truly believe art can heal the soul as we operate both sides of our brain to practise skills but also, when we find our flow, that's when the magic happens. Lots of art process in this video and big disclaimer ~ I am a watercolour beginner and by no means an expert! Learning art in a new medium later in life, after 50 is fun and a whole new voyage of discovery. Thanks for keeping me company on my journey!

Starting Over Later in Life | Growing Older & Finding Purpose after 40 50 and beyond...

The Unexpected Gypsy 2024-04-28 | ✨This video is all about following our dreams even if we feel it's too late (it's not!) And, my personal story of starting art in my 40s & starting over in my 50s, entwined within some drawing and watercolour painting too! You are not behind in life!

Finding purpose at any age and reinventing ourselves is scary at any age. But, starting over later in life, after 40, 50, 60, 70 and beyond is entirely possible. Living life without regret! Many of us fail to start anything new because we feel it’s too late to start over. Do we feel it’s too late to start and that we are too old now to even bother! I believe it’s never too late to create your best life and start living it. I achieved success being an artist in my 50s after starting over in my 40s. Whether it’s starting a new hobby, learning how to draw, paint, revisiting an old passion or creating material success, it’s absolutely doable. It’s also very beneficial for our health; physical, mental,spiritual and psychological. Growing older is a gift and can open up time for us to do the things we have always wanted to do, so I say, go for it! Now’s the time! I’m also sharing my own personal story in this video from being a single mum, college and art school later in life and completely restarting my life after 40. Now in my 50s I have created the life I always dreamed of living! It’s by no means perfect and still bumpy at times, but it happened only after I took some risks and took a few leaps of faith! Living life now on my own terms makes me feel truly blessed and I want to inspire and cheer you on to do the same. (Even in the smallest of ways!)

I had a car mishap | Counting Blessings

The Unexpected Gypsy 2024-02-04 | I didn't know where to start in making this video as I really didn't want to come here with such horrid news but if you've been here a while, you will know I do like to share the downs as-well-as the ups... So, I had a car accident a few weeks ago. This is what happened and how and what I'm doing to softly heal after my mishap. Healing with gratitude and giggles wherever I can to prevent going into ptsd as much as possible. Positive mindset as much as I can, to prevent the neural pathways from forming and saving me from flashbacks, nightmares and mental anguish.

Soft Motivation when days feel hard

The Unexpected Gypsy 2024-01-21 | This week I'm feeling the new year blues, quite low, struggling with depression, lack of motivation and just wanting to stay at home. I'm reframing and trying to refriend the January New Year blues. I have to say, it's not been the easiest but I did my best anyway! Most days I just don't want to leave the house and trying to motivate myself has been a real struggle. Hopefully in this video I can show my little ways of making life just a little bit easier and how that can make ALL the difference. With soft, gentle motivation. Thank you so much for watching & keeping me company In this little corner of YouTube. Love you all SOOO much, I really appreciate this community! Biggest, Softest, Everythings, Wendy. Xx

The Power of Small Actions

The Unexpected Gypsy 2023-12-24 | This week I'm sharing all about the significant power of small actions and baby steps in my Holiday Vlog. We have had floods, I'm decorating my Christmas tree, visiting cosy cafés, book shops, vintage shopping, antiques as well as painting guardian angels and fairies. All the areas around where we live flooded as it had been raining so hard and so much lately. Some roads were completely impassable. I managed some studio and art time though, playing with guardian angel art and fairy paper dolls! I also share how I manage any overwhelm with one simple technique. Easy & doable!
Anyway, wishing you and your loved ones a peaceful holiday time, however you celebrate with Brightest Blessings for the New Year too. Thank you so much for watching & keeping me company THIS YEAR! In this little corner of YouTube. Love you all SOOO much, I really appreciate this community! Biggest, Softest, Everythings, Wendy. Xx

Making a House Home | Thrifted, Secondhand, Cottagecore Boho Style | Home Decor on a Budget

The Unexpected Gypsy 2023-11-26 | Making our new house homely with our makeover on a budget, in our secondhand home. Low spend as it's a rental and finding thrifted, boho, cottage style furniture.

Moving in! | Our New House in the country (England UK)

The Unexpected Gypsy 2023-11-12 | Moving into our fairy tale in-between, house in the country, England UK and moving out of our current apartment. A moving vlog, just for you! And, if you've been here a while, you will know how much trouble it has been to actually find somewhere new to live because the housing market is bonkers right now. First, we almost bought a cottage in the mountains and then a few tales and ups and downs later... But, finally it happened and I can share the whole packing, decluttering, organising, cleaning, decorating, and moving house process with you! Thank you so much for keeping me company in this little corner of YouTube. Love you all to bits, Biggest, Softest, Everythings, Wendy. Xx

Getting our new house ready to move in | Low Budget Makeover & Channel Update

The Unexpected Gypsy 2023-10-29 | Highs and lows of a low budget makeover for our new house whilst we get ready to move in. Moving house is a lot of work and there's been a few unexpected ups and downs along the way. Deep cleaning, decorating, renovating, fixing, with a no budget to low budget approach. So many home improvements but oh, so worth it in the end! Just feeling so grateful to finally have found our fairy tale 'in-between' home. Thank you so much for keeping me company in this little corner of YouTube. Love you all to bits, Biggest, Softest, Everythings, Wendy. Xx
