Multiple recent project have made us consider diving into and testing biodegradable glitter. Now... we may never tackle a video on them, and IF we do, it might take 1-2 years haha but we thought we'd reach out to y'all with some of our thoughts and get some of yours.
So it turns out the term "biodegradable" can be used ...

Good news y'all! We're feeling good enough to start filming again :) but we'll be taking things easier and taking breaks so we don't backslide into feeling worse. The next video will be about restoring furniture... but what should we use to restore the furniture you might ask? Well, we need something that will be very durable...

Well thank goodness for editors and past us. We have a video due to a sponsor THIS Friday (in 3 days). We were worried about getting busy around the holidays and new years so we rushed to squeeze the filming of another video before the holidays (which we did). Then we got sick. We were thankfully able to pass the edit off to ...

AHH OMG guys they did not crack while they cooled and they are so dang CUTE! We ended up turning them into necklaces since that is what Katelyn wears most (just so they get some use) and we're really happy with how they turned out. One of the coolest things is that they don't need any additional finishing work (top coats, san...

Making glass beads has been an awesome experience... with lots of sweaty moments in between haha! The "instructional" DVD ended up being like 3 minutes so we were definitely learning as we went. One big surprise was how much the melting glass gave off a different color flame as it melted.

We're going to melt glass and try working that molten glass INTO something for the first time... what could go wrong? Also what is molten glass but extra spicy hot resin? 🤣
Don't worry though, we have a highly advanced DVD from 7 years ago to guide us along the journey! That's what we thought at least until we discov...

I LOVE surprising Katelyn... and I love fun new gear/toys so this second channel idea was SO much fun for me to plan. I asked Katelyn to be my girlfriend via a Nerf gun fight and it had been too long since we just did something fun and silly like that so I found these laser tag guns, strapped action cameras everywhere and sur...

Guys... IT'S complete!! Catio v2 is built and installed and Joob took to it right away, PHEW 😅 Katelyn is rushing on the edit right now but we should have it done by this Friday.

Hey guys! We've been doing our best to make progress on the catio (it's gonna go live in a week...eek!) But we have the basic framing done and we did a little Supurrvisor approval moment and it's crazy how big it looks with a little Joobie for scale! Especially when you compare to the last one.

Hey guys! Thank you for soooo many fun suggestions for Joob's new catio in the post the other day. We took in a lot of your ideas and combined them with some of our own and we've officially started on the new design! It's a similar basic shape, but a little wider and deeper, as well as tall enough to add a little perch for he...

Hey guys! So I'll admit - we're struggling a bit brainstorming the new catio design. A big reason why is because Joobie LOVED her old catio... so much so that we are hesitant to change too much about the design. But if we recreate the exact same thing, obviously that's not gonna be a very interesting video. So we're trying to...

Hey guys! In our next video, RAMsey helps us paint portraits of each other. He had some VERY strong opinions about the creative direction... like how prominent my chin was, where Evan's pupils went, and whether or not I had bangs actually.
