I am on Hospice care and barely able to be up out of bed due to pain and nausea. I started crocheting way back when I was expecting my first baby and picked it up again for a few months every decade or so but after I retired, I became a serious quilter complete with embroidery machine and long arm in my studio, but I simply don't have the strength and it kind of makes me sad that I can't quilt any more. My Granddaughter became interested in crochet recently, so I have been sharing some really sweet moments with her on a project and I discovered your vlog looking for patterns. Today you made my heart happy taking "us" on a trip through Joann's. It's been a few years since I was there and I truly enjoyed watching you find joy in all the moments that make life worth living. Thank You from a Happy Grammy!
This comment made my whole week. I am so sorry to hear you are in pain and you will be in my thoughts and prayers. But what a wonderful thing to share with your granddaughter. My grandma taught me how to crochet and they are some of my most cherished memories with her. It’s a special thing to share with someone and I find that so wonderful you two have that. It warms my heart to know you enjoyed watching this video together and for me, that is what my TH-cam channel is all about. Thank you for sharing this with me. I hope you and your granddaughter can continue to make many more beautiful memories together ❤️
I saw Kamryn Caine do a video where she put things she wanted to make in a jar and randomly chose! Its still a mystery video but its things you want to make instead of something random so its really fun. She also did oned that were like "I let xyz pick my crochet projects" and i thought that was really cool too!
Please show you bedazzling your sewing machine! I would love to see this. I can so relate to your mind being all over the place😅. There are so many things to do. I really love your sunflower bouquet! I wish I had it on my shelf. Hope your market goes great!
I personally love the idea of the sign for the mystery boxes. It reminds me of those cereal boxes where you can see which ones you could get but you still don't really know. I also agree I probably wouldn't just grab a total mystery box myself simply because of the way my mind works, especially as a crochet artist myself, anyone could easily throw in a clearance item just to get rid of it when most people probably wouldn't want it or would be disappointed and now they are stuck with something they totally didn't want, they would look at your table and see all you had available and assume it would be any of those items anyway. I think the key is a really good idea and I plan on doing something of the sort at my own markets for my own mystery boxes, so really thank you for the idea 🥰
Yes! Im so glad you agree with me! I think the same way!! But thats fantastic! Im sure they will do really well! Youll have to let me know how they go 🥰
Idea for your patterns (having never written one myself, so please excuse the advice if it's silly!!) maybe you could copy-paste from previous patterns that explain the basics. Or have a separate page in all of your pattern PDFs that explain how to do certain stitches so you can just insert that without having to include it in the main portion of the pattern. Personally, I'm new to crochet and would love to have the instructions in the main part of the pattern, but for more advanced crocheters, that might break their flow! I hope that all makes sense. I'm a new subscriber, and I'm loving all of your videos!! You're so sweet and relatable! Thanks for all this content that I can binge.
I love all yours vids and how positive you are!! Also, it's your sewing machine that you can do whatever with. It does not matter if we don't like it; what matters is if you like it 💕
Awh thank you so much!! Thats really sweet of you! I know some people are just so quick to let you know when they hate something I try to add a disclaimer to help soften the blow 😅 Im so glad youre enjoying my channel! And tomorrows video I will be showing the finished sewing machine!🥰
I took inspiration from you for the mystery boxes and they did great at my last school carnival event! Good luck at your markets. I’m in Arizona and have 1 more event this Saturday and then will not do any more till the fall as it will be too hot!
Oh im sooo happy for you! Thats really exciting! And thank you! I know all about that hot weather, best of luck to you Saturday and then again in the fall!(:
I would have to say the sunflower one because it reminds me of my mom who passed away 24 years ago. It seems like just yesterday. But her favorite flower is the sunflower.❤❤
Oh gosh. Thats beautiful it reminds you of her. But I’m so sorry though as well. I know it never gets easier, you’ll be in my thoughts this weekend 🫶🏻❤
I'm nowhere near ready for a market for any of my items (though I'm getting there 😂.) These are great ideas! I'd also make sure to have some sort of carbon copy receipt paper for the cash payments as well.
For the mystery boxes : What if you put some kind of label on the bottom? So you could know what was in the boxes vs having to open all of them. And it could still be a surprise as well for those that want a true surprise!
Really enjoy your videos ❤. How fun to bejewel your sewing machine! I also carry wet wipes in my market bag for dirty hands; a quick table wipe and such,and I take along my inventory list so I can take inventory before I pack up ( usually pretty slow then anyway) so I know what I have when I get home and I don’t have to do it later.
Im so glad youre enjoying the videos! 🥰I hope youll come back next week to see the finished sewing machine! And yes absolutely to bringing all of those things!! I couldnt agree more
love that! lol and alot of my market items that have patterns can be found on my pintrest board labeled 'market makes'! My pintrest is linked in the bio!
I like the sign. If I saw your booth at a market I would think the boxes were way cute and a smart idea but would be super hesitant to buy one if I didn’t know a part of the mystery. Does that make sense 😅
Omg you’re awesome!!! I’m so sorry I don’t have a video out for y’all today! I hope I can try to be more consistent with my twice a week posting!! 🫶🏻🥰💓
Would you ever consider making pattern versions for seasoned crocheters that dont need the extra parts of the “how to” portions like the same but simplified
There is no pattern unfortunately , i just made them up real quick. Essentially I crocheted a ball (circle) and then two magic circles with 6 sc in them each to make two eyes and sewed them on top. I hope that helps!!

@@BlondieKnots you're welcome 😊
Your bouquets are so so pretty. My favorite is the pink roses and thistle!
Please show you bedazzling your sewing machine! I would love to see this. I can so relate to your mind being all over the place😅. There are so many things to do. I really love your sunflower bouquet! I wish I had it on my shelf. Hope your market goes great!

Hard to pick a favorite of the bouquets! Been enjoying watching your videos while crafting. Currently making a granny square sweater :)

AHHH Thank you so much Amy!! Youre awesome, Im so glad youre a viewer here!!🥰💓

yes! Im going to be doing that as well for the future so i know whats what! lol ❤
Also you should definitely do the bedazzled sewing machine video and more flower bouquets videos! 💜
Really enjoy your videos ❤. How fun to bejewel your sewing machine! I also carry wet wipes in my market bag for dirty hands; a quick table wipe and such,and I take along my inventory list so I can take inventory before I pack up ( usually pretty slow then anyway) so I know what I have when I get home and I don’t have to do it later.
Im so glad youre enjoying the videos! 🥰I hope youll come back next week to see the finished sewing machine! And yes absolutely to bringing all of those things!! I couldnt agree more
Maybe you can call it a blind box. The blind boxes at the store show what one you could get
New to your channel! I enjoy the vibe of your vlogs
Welcome to the channel! I’m so happy to have you here and I’m even more happy to know your enjoying the vlogs! 🫶🏻🥰
Yes!! It's nice to listen, too when im working or market prepping 😊
Love the video! I'm here for the bedazzled vibes 😎 Also would love to see links to the things you take with you to markets!
love that! lol and alot of my market items that have patterns can be found on my pintrest board labeled 'market makes'! My pintrest is linked in the bio!
I have my first market in 1 month, so I appreciate you showing some stuff you bring! Super nervous! 😬
Oh of course, but dont be nervous! You got this and Im so proud of you for going for it!
I like the sign. If I saw your booth at a market I would think the boxes were way cute and a smart idea but would be super hesitant to buy one if I didn’t know a part of the mystery. Does that make sense 😅
The yellow rose .
Great choice!💛
❤❤
🥰
I just finished binging all your videos and now I have to wait for the release of new videos like a normal person 😢
Omg you’re awesome!!! I’m so sorry I don’t have a video out for y’all today! I hope I can try to be more consistent with my twice a week posting!! 🫶🏻🥰💓
I love the mystery boxes! where do you buy them? if you don't mind.
Thank you, I love them! I got them off of Temu!
Where did you get your mystery boxes from. Those are so cute. Do they have different sizes?
They don’t as far as I know. They are from Temu!
you should do "how many ________ can i crochet in a day?"
I have something like that planned in the next few weeks!!🥰
Hi! I just watched this video. Where did you buy the mystery boxes ?

Would you ever consider making pattern versions for seasoned crocheters that dont need the extra parts of the “how to” portions like the same but simplified
I absolutely have considered that and think about it all the time! I will look into putting together a pattern like that!
I love the little frogs, I tried to google them but couldn’t find them. Could you share the pattern? please and Thank You
There is no pattern unfortunately , i just made them up real quick. Essentially I crocheted a ball (circle) and then two magic circles with 6 sc in them each to make two eyes and sewed them on top. I hope that helps!!
Hi do you have a link to the crochet flowers? Please and thank you ❤ love all the flowers 💐
On my pintrest I do have all the patterns in a folder you can find them all there! I have my pintrest linked in the bio!
