Ep 47 - Its Not a Project Until Ray Bleeds

Cy is under the weather but the show must go on. This month Kris, Ray & Eugene discuss how their personal projects are coming along and how being injured sucks when trying to be creative. But it just comes with the territory for some of us because apparently unless Ray gets injured somehow, it doesn’t count as a project in the Andrew household.

Ep 37 - Creative FOMO

This month we do our updates from the previous two months. Ray worked on his shop, Kris worked on her book and Eugene worked on his proton pack. Plus a bunch of other stuff. Also, is it OK to deny yourself something in order to get projects done? We don’t have an answer, but we talk about it.

Ep 35 - Course Complete

Cue the Final Fantasy victory music! Ray finished his course work while Kris made some headway on a blanket and Eugene knocked out a few small projects. I gotta say it was a good… month. The group makes plans for June but tries not to over do it; we’re being kind to ourselves.

Ep 23 - FN Carl

If you are wondering where last month’s episode is, it’s in the ether somewhere. So this month’s episode is going to be double stuffed full of updates. Spring is springing and the weather is getting nicer which for the Canadians means “reno season.” For the Texan, it’s time to get on the yard in order and get back to work on projects.

Ep 22 - Work Spaces and the Future

If home is where the heart is, then your work space should be where your creativity is. Whether its a shop, crafting room, kitchen or just a closet tucked away somewhere, most everyone needs a space to make and create. This month we’re discussing where we currently get creative and what we would love to see them become. Nothing kills creativity like a work space that doesn’t work for you.

Ep 21 - Tis the Season for Creativity

Time to put the lights up on the house, decorate the tree and make festive baked goods… if you are into that sort of thing. No matter how you celebrate the holidays, or not, a lot of people find this to be a creative time of year. Whether its baking cookies with grandma’s old recipe, fixing the train that goes around the tree for the 100th time or designing a new light show for the entire neighbor to enjoy, a lot of us will be busy this season.

Ep 20 - Reminders for Creatives

Sometimes its nice to be reminded by other creators, especially those you hold in high regard, that we’re all mortal and no one is perfect. And it’s ok to take and break. And relax. And be selfish. Derek at Van Oaks Props posted a list of reminders for anxious / depressed creatives on Instagram a couple of weeks ago and it really hit home with us. So this month we’re discussing how we should take it to heart and remember that there is nothing wrong with pulling back from time time, putting down our tools and just catching our breath.

Ep 19 - Selling Your Soul

The customer is always right, right? Maybe not always. In fact, sometimes they are dead wrong. While not everyone may sell their creative creations, those of us who do have not always had the best experiences. This month we’re discussing the ups and downs of selling your hard work and what you can do to better understand what happens after you click buy from a maker.

Ep 18 - We Have the Tools We Have the Talent

Having the right tools and the experience to use them goes a long way. A really long way. We’ve all started from the beginning with some project or hobby and try to make do with the materials or tools we have on hand. Best case scenario we get the job done and make life harder than it has to be. Worst case, we ruin the project, hurt ourselves or even turn ourselves to the hobby all together. This month we discuss how having the right tools and talent can make all the difference in the world.

Ep 17 - Gearing Up Again

Even though the Delta variant is spreading in several places around the globe, things are starting to get back to normal in others. Movie theaters are opening back up, conventions are happening and a lot of us, especially those who have been fully vaccinated, are able to go and do things again. To include working on creative projects. This month we’re discussing how we’re getting back into the swing of things and how its making more things possible, and cluttering up our lives once again.
