If you're willing to share, I'd love a video of some advice on talking to stores about wholesale and how you put together your line sheet, even if it's not perfect! 🥰

[@traceywelsh9696]

You look beautiful in it like that. There's no way a gorgeous sparkly dress like that can be boring

[@GRRN99]

I put this on in the living room at my rants house..my mom started to watch it..said this young lady makes me wanna work on more stuff..❤

[@BluerosesT]

Your channel has easily become one of my favs to tune into!

[@coachcarenfern]

Right ❤

[@49lucky]

Yes, mine also. But I'm 75 and so busy watching your videos and making crafts to sell and selling on 3 platforms and selling Avon, working 2 part-time jobs I'm ready to retire again 😅😅😅😅 love your videos.

[@Radiantanab]

I was doing chorus as I was watching/listening to your vlog lol when you sneezed I automatically said bless you haha I forgot you couldn't hear me LOL 😆

[@monicarazak]

LOL

[@pattyjones1350]

If you’re selling to a coffee shop they might like a coffee scented candle. The Flaming Candle has a good coffee house fragrance and candle science has a great hazelnut coffee fragrance. ☕️ Love your content by the way.

[@ChantelleArts]

love the DTF designs, they're awesome! can't wait to see what you make 🥰

[@ninjatransfersDTF]

Hope you have the best bachelorette party ever🎉🥳. Can’t wait to see what the final results look like 🤩!

[@laurieszentirmai4511]

I hear you with the time thing. I have to work my regular job because that pays the bills but oh how I wish I had more time just to craft for hours and hours. All I can think about when I am at my regular job is what craft I could be making a home. Getting my act together for my first REAL pop up shop in June. I have done small events but this will be the real deal.

[@karenschmaltz649]

Definitely a storm title for that one. Passing storm or after the storm.

[@drgraham1295]

Love your channel. I found it because of your doing Markets. The dress looks amazing on you. However it is a bit see through. I'm not sure if you would consider adding a liner or you would just wear it as such. Keep doing and bring great content. It's always a pleasure learning and viewing you. By the way if you ever consider doing a candle workshop I would sign up in a jiffy.

My bachelorette was my bridesmaids taking me to a restaurant and a craft fair then coming to my house to play games and it was my favorite thing leading up to the wedding ✌🏼

[@beingemma]

I remember when I did candles and yes, felt like I was always making them. hahaha. For sure have to order some for spring. So in awe of your sewing skills, that dress is so cute. Also same on evening filming by that time I am like its "me time" Also love to hear more about your wholesale experience I am also currently looking to dive into that.

[@HeyMerakibySha]

I think you’re referring to petrichor which an earthly scent produced by rainfall on a very dry ground 😊

[@Makermamamakes]

I want to make candles but I feel like it would be too much for me. You make it look so relaxing though and I want to try lol

[@jonelle_planningxo2371]

How do you print out patterns to make clothes?? I always found that confusing.

[@rachelelbeedee]

Emily grey of the flourish market had a great podcast on wholesale. she goes over sending emails and sending a sample package. Also if you have the name of the person you follow that does everything I’d appreciate it. I creat and design my jewelry and items for my biz on the concept that we as people are multi faceted and it sounds right up my alley. Thanks again for another awesome vid!

[@MusicanoMsO]

Gostei do canal 😊

[@uscgjen]

You look gorgeous in the dress! No need to make the cowl

[@madisondoherty5244]

If you’re willing to can you make a very plain and simple candle video. I started making them maybe 6 months ago and joined a group on Facebook but there’s a lot of terminology I don’t understand

[@monicarazak]

Definitely!!

[@nesa11904]

Petrichor
