I hope you brought something to work on, it's a long one today! Anyone else have markets coming up soon? I'd love to hear about them!❤
Prepping for one on the 24th. Took time off and now making what I can for the summer fest for my county.
Camryn, you never disappoint. The pricing calculator is FANTASTIC. I can’t wait until it launches. One of my biggest struggles is pricing and the calculator is going to help me sooooo much. Thank you!
Awww you’re so sweet!!! I’m seriously so excited about launching it! It’s a GAME CHANGER!😍❤️❤️
Omg yes I’m obsessed with the new Bernat blanket!!! I kept feeling both in Michael’s, (talking to myself), saying “oh, yeah that’s definitely different!” Lol😂
It totally is😂❤️❤️
I absolutely adore the chickens! Too cute! Also, i literally had to pause the video and re-count two rows because i totally lost it when you started counting inventory 🤣😂 i was like, 1, 2, 3, 4, 17, 18, 😂
Hahahaa😂 too funny! What were you working on while watching?:)
@@camryns_cute_creations i'm making a gnome 🙂 i have the absolute hardest time with amigurumi faces so i decided to try something with no face to stress over 😂 i'm not very good at those safety eyes and embroidery eyes have a big learning curve and i don't want all my amigurumi friends to have sleepy eyes either ugh, so i just decided to cut out the issue all together and my kid suggested gnomes since they don't have faces. Smart kid.
My dog used to sit in the middle of my folks & I putting the Sunday newspaper inserts together when I was a kid. She would turn to each of us to make sure we each put our part in. Furballs are great helpers. Hubbys (spouses) are super helpers.
Furballs like Alice and your dog are great helpers ❤️❤️
Just got to watch this, 'Coz I've been making a mistake before of clicking on your video WHILE breastfeeding. 😅😅😅 I dunno how I tend to forget how lively you are. 😊
NOW I'm getting anxious about making inventory as I'm watching you inventory. 😥😥😥
P.S. I envy you yarn stash. 😍😍😍
Hahahah too funny! You've got this! A lot of this is from last season too!!!
This is by far my favorite video so far! I get really stressed the two weeks before a market and it is 100% about the amount of stock I have. I always feel like it is never enough!! But I honestly feel so much better after watching this. Thanks for being relatable!
Of course! So glad you loved the video! I’ll have to make some more like this one :)
I cannot wait for that calculator to come out!! SO awesome 👏🏻
I’m watching while crocheting some flowers for my market tomorrow. I’m doing a “build your own bouquet” bar with a few different varieties 😍
Oh my gosh this sounds like such a fun idea!!!😍 you’ll have to share pictures with me after your event! ❤️
You are such a breathe of fresh air. I’ve been doing markets for 40 years and still love it. Where is your pattern for the chicken stuffie? Oh I’m working on a mesh bolero with sleeves as I watch your video. I do 50/50 knitting or crochet, I guess depending on project. Example, I prefer to knit cardigans, but crochet hats and other accessories.
This is so awesome!!!:) chicken pattern is from The Cosy Stitch :)
I love that you knit and crochet!:)
Just a thought for you…you can put sheets of labels in your printer and just print out your skus and prices…will save you some hand cramps…love your videos!!!
Oh my gosh what a great idea!!! Thank you so much for sharing :)
Such a helpful video. It alleviates a whole lot of the premarket anxiety to listen to your Vlog. Thank you for the helpful tips.
Of course! So glad it’s helpful! ❤️
Hey, don’t forget about your time doing the pricing and other administrative tasks. That adds up! Also, keep track of gas/mileage for taxes or to add to your spreadsheet. 😊
You're absolutely right! There are so many factors and costs that we can keep track of and make sure we are being compensated for!
Those chickens are the absolute cutest!
Aren’t they so cute? I want to make more!!!😍❤️❤️
your additude is supper bight, cheery, and it makes me really happy that someone is having a good day.
Awww thanks so much! :)
That first 15 seconds I felt!😅 the birds were so happy that day! That calculated is going to be SSSOOOO helpful. I was just doing all of this last night by hand and you are right, it can take a lot of energy to do this bts stuff.
And yes booth display videos would be amazing! ❤
OMG!!! Your inventory prices! AMAZING!!!! Congrats girlfriend!!!🎉🎉🎉
The birds were totally happy!❤️ so excited for you to use the calculator, it definitely helps save time with pricing!😍 thank you so much!!!
I am getting ready for an up coming market and was so happy to hear you say …don’t stress on trying to make everything…I always think I need more of everything and get overwhelmed..now I feel so much better…your the best ❤
I’m so glad you’re feeling better! It can definitely feel overwhelming, but you probably have more than enough!❤️❤️
Girl I’m so glad I have you in my life! Your videos have been so helpful. Thank you!
I'm so glad to have you and all y'all in mine! ❤️
I am about 3 months behind in watching. I love the pricing calculator and plan on getting that for sure! Working on a baby shark for my upcoming market (stress stress stress.) It helps to have someone with me as I do all of this alone also.
I’m so excited you have an upcoming market!! Aside from the shark, what are some other items you’re bringing??:) and let me know if you have any questions regarding the Calculator!! ❤️
I'm working on tea towel hangers for the oven door, etc. I crochet around a ring and make it pretty, with a wood button closure And then add a brand new matching kitchen hand towel ☺️
Your items are precious! I don't even know how to crochet, but I love all your market videos ~ all your videos! Hoping you vlog your next market! Love seeing prepping, behind the scenes, everything! 😊🐔🐝
Awww you’re so sweet! Thanks so much! What do you like to make?:)
@@camryns_cute_creations I sew and machine embroider, but I want to teach myself to crochet!
Cannot wait for the pricing calculator!!!! This is so great seeing a bit of your process.
Yayy! I’m so excited to launch it 😍❤️❤️
Just wanted to say I love this style video! Your hard work does not go unnoticed. Love your content and so stoked for the pricing calculator 💕
Awww you’re so sweet! Thank you so much for saying this!❤️ definitely want to start incorporating more vlogs on the channel so thanks for the great feedback:)
Loved your video. I am getting ready for a market tomorrow and I hope my things sell.
So exciting! You’ll have to let me know how it goes for you!❤️❤️
I love your energy and I totally need that calculator and probably the binder too.
So glad you love it! They’re definitely helpful! 😍❤️❤️
I am working on a teddy bear with a graduation cap for my friends child. They are graduating in 2 weeks.
That’s so awesome!!!❤️
I love your videos! I swear bubbles come out of my TV! I’m pretty sure I have bing watched them all! I don’t do craft markets, but you provide so much info it is very interesting. I do mostly use Bernat blanket yarn . I’m curious why it seems you rent a studio and don’t just work from your home? Also, are you willing to share where you find the crochet items you make? Or how you plan new items to make, like adding amigurumi? Maybe some ideas for a few new videos? Keep up the bubbles! Lol!
Awww I’m so glad you’re loving the videos! I can definitely make videos on these topics!❤️ thank you for this comment!❤️
I'm tagging things too. Frogs, mushroom boys, and poison apples. The show is tonight. tytyty..Good luck in your business!
Those sound sooo cute! ❤️❤️ I'd love to hear how your show went! :)
The amount of inspiration that I feel at the moment is palpable!! I want to start a crochet business by the end of this year and sell in markets. Your content is fantastic💕
That's so exciting! I really hope and want you to start one! Never hesitate to ask any questions! ❤️
Working on some little pumpkin keychains!
That sounds so cute!! Are you doing some fun colors? :)
Dang $60 is average for your booth fees?? Average here is $150 for a booth at a market 😅 great video!! ❤
Haha it probably is about $60 here for the ones I do! It’s definitely going to depend on your area tho!!! That’s so high!:( I hope they are super busy though!
I've been doing craft fairs for over 20 years, but I'm so glad I found your channel because I'm learning new things! We moved to another state so I'm looking for fairs here, but I'm loving "going" with you to yours! BTW I'm a knitter.*Subscribed*
I love having you along with me! :) Have you found any potential shows you might want to try??
I have been busy crocheting baskets. I really enjoy making them.
So awesome! Those are fun:)
So glad I stumbled across this channel ❤️ I’m a virtual assistant with little retail knowledge and it helps tremendously with assisting my client! Also adorable products ❤️
I am so glad it's helpful! And thank you for the kind words :) ❤️ I'm happy to hang out in these videos with you!
Making a pink octopus amigurumi while watching this video. Awesome motivational vid :)
Awww sounds so cute:) so glad you loved the video!
Alice is so cuteeee. Thank you for doing this for us
Of course! She’s the sweetest!❤️
While i was watching this video i was crocheting bracelets for my business!!😍😄😁
So cute!! What colors do you like to use? :)
To speed things up you should get a label printer for pricing and sizing, they come in different size labels
I do have one of those! But I also enjoy handwriting those parts :) It's another way for me to articulate myself in my products!
I finished a little cow while I watched, I have been binging the content lately, thanks for it!
Awww I love to hear this! I bet that cow is so cute!😍
yay girl!!! So glad to see some ami's in there! TOO cute😍
They’re been SO fun!!!😍❤️
yeah. i do travel related accessories, thus the name. i hope to grow this into a store that has everything outdoor and travel related. i want to grow so that whether your traveling, hiking, going fishing, kayaking etc you will shop with me and i have it all. on yt is going slow as i've only posted reels so far and only one full length video. but i'm editing my most recent craft market now so i hope i can continuing growing from there.
This is so awesome! Keep with it and I know you’ll continue doing amazing things!❤️
Right now I'm working on some little bats for Halloween!
Oh my gosh little bats sound so cute!!! :)
Your products always look lovely, I have a small hand and machine knitting business in the UK and wondered if you share where to get your patterns from, your videos have helped me with different things for the craft fairs, and give me more confidence to go to more craft fairs. Thank you.
So awesome! So glad they’ve been helpful :) I can definitely make a video sharing some of my fav patterns!!!❤️
I am market prepping right now too! I’m making a clemmie cow snuggler by Mama Made Minis!
OH my gosh, those are sooooo cute!!! 😍😍❤️ I'd love to see it when it's done :)
@@camryns_cute_creations I just finished it yesterday, I’ll tag you on Instagram!
This is amazing! Something I truly need! Thank you for this video!!
Awww I’m so glad you loved it! So fun to film!❤️
Oh you’re in Spokane?! I’m in cda! Lol small world, hello fellow crochet buddy! 😄
Been looking forward to your video!! Loving the Vlog style! ❤
I’m so glad you love it! So fun to film!❤️
I feel the need to say this since the pricing sheet is still in the works.. I would love a separate tab that adds up all of the inventory for you, how much all the supplies cost for the items brought, AND how much in inventory you are bringing. Like your $4000 goal. So I don't have to dump and count everything for every market. Adding it up as I make and update the numbers, you know?
I LOVE this idea! Thank you so much!!! I will think of how I can include a feature like this:)
Doesn't excel do all that calculating for you? I set up an expenditure excel sheet
I’m currently making lighter holders while I watch your videos 🤣💚 I just found your channel and thank you so much for it!! I love hanging out with you lol
I'm so glad to have you here hanging out!! :)
I love your energy. I have learned alot from you. Would you share your cute baby booties and little cute sweater pattern? Thank you.
Lora
Baby sweater is from daisy farm crafts! I have the booties linked on my Instagram page under free patterns highlight!
I love this vlog and I can't wait to see the marke's vlog 🥰🤗
Yayyyy! I'm so excited to share it this Friday! :)
I’m making mop covers for a market next month. This market is once a month April to November. Last month was my first time to it and I did some networking too. I’ve been working on some plushies/amigurumi animals.
That's so awesome! I'm so excited to hear you took the leap and did your first one! You'll have to keep me up to date on how it goes through the season! And please share pics of your mop covers and amigurumi, I love seeing what you guys make! 😁😊
@@camryns_cute_creations actually, I started last year, but had low sales. Everyone said you have beautiful things, but sales were low. When I found your TH-cam taking about what to do to get the most you can for your markets I vowed id listen and see if your words can help. My next market is first Saturday in August and I'm working now to make this the best market so far.
That calculator is brilliant! ❤
I can’t wait to launch it😍 it’s been a life saver!
Okay so I try making my own version of this calculator often when pricing and it takes me forever to get it all figured out. I love the set up of this one and can’t wait to get it for myself! Is yours on a MacBook or on a pc? I just got a MacBook recently and idk how to use it! Oh, and I’ve been working on sewn key fobs, fabric badge reels, and starting to play around with crochet again some too.
This is so awesome!!!😍❤️ The calculator will be in google sheets! So you just need a google account (it’s free!)
I love the cost calculator!! I would definitely use that! I was also wondering what you used to screen record your laptop? I had some videos I wanted to make that involved recording my monitor, but I'm just not sure what to use!
Yes of course! I use Quicktime Player on Mac:)
@@camryns_cute_creations thank you!!
Omg I need to know what pattern you use for those bobble stitch Christmas trees!!! So so so cute!! I need to make them!
That pattern is actually from MJs Off the Hook Designs! Here's a link to their pattern :) www.mjsoffthehookdesigns.com/crochet-bobble-tree-sweaters/
yes absolutely to the booth display!! i’ve been struggling with display 😭
I’ll be sharing lots of display tips in the upcoming market vlog😍❤️
New follower! Loved this video, and excited to learn more about this pricing calculator! I worked on a ami deer for my upcoming fall markets.
An amigurumi deer?? That sounds adorable! I’d love to be able to see it! 😁 And as you move toward your fall markets, never hesitate to reach out with any questions!
Thanks for the kind words and support! ❤️
Question..for calculating the yarn amount. Are you weighing the finished product (minus the poly fil) or estimating how much of a skein you used?
I’m weighing the finished product minus the polyfil :) estimating works too but weighing is most accurate!
I love the new Bernat Blanket yarn too
It's SOOOOO soft! 🥰
I have a market in 5 days and I have to crochet like crazy I'm 13 and it's my 5th market but I thought this one was next week and I'm in school holidays so I thought I have lots of time but I don't, I am so behind. Now I have have 4 all day and all nighters.I do markets every month and I have 1/5th the amount I usually have so I'm stressed
You’re so awesome for starting this so young! Give yourself some grace and take breaks when you need them!💖
First market this Friday, which I signed up for yesterday. I’m doomed. What was I thinking!?!
Oh my gosh YOU’VE GOT THIS😍❤️🧶🧶 time to binge all my videos😂❤️ can’t wait to hear about how it goes!!!
i am crocheting a Groot and a Stitch back and forth.
So cute! I'd love to see them when they're finished ❤️
Another great video - can’t wait to try your calculator ❤
Awww thanks so much!!!❤️
Hi, has the calculator been released yet please?
I love watching your videos, you never disappoint.
Keep up the good work

That’s not my pattern, but it’s a free one! I’ll have to find the link for it :)
That would be great! Thank you for your time 😀
The baby bear hats are adorable. I've made a few but have no idea what to charge. What do you charge for yours? Great job on this channel! Always chocked full with great info!
I have a market in a week. Scary!! I vow to never leave tagging until the day before, it always tires me out!!
Totally!!! It takes way longer than you’d expect for sure!😂❤️
Thanks for all the priceless content every week! I look forward to watching your videos! Can’t wait for the pricing calculator.
On another note, do you wear makeup or have eyelash extensions? You always look great in your videos but it doesn’t look like you are wearing anything! 😊
So glad you loved the video!!!❤️ one of my good friends is a lash tech, I started going to her for extensions for my wedding and I got addicted!😂❤️ been getting them ever since! Thanks so much❤️
Working on heirloom baby blankets and baby headbands
So cute:)

So cute!! What color??
@@camryns_cute_creations yellow, I can't get it finished yet b/c i don't have the right size safety eyes but it's going to be cute!!
You do such beautiful work. Do you use Bernal blanket yarn for chickens, bees, baby bear beanies, beanies, etc ? Does it really work up quickly and where do you get patterns? I have so many questions...😊
Yes I do and it works up super quick!:) one of my favorite yarn brands!!!
Where do you get your fold over leather tags? I love them!
Those are from Etsy! :)
Hello! Where do you get your tags from? They're so adorable!
Hey there! I have a whole video that contains the link to the free template for the tags, as well as discussing how to best use them! Here's the link: th-cam.com/video/Tf1bwwYrbvU/w-d-xo.html
Can I ask why do you hand write the prices? I would have them on labels in the computer then you just need to print them each show. Just an idea. I love your word, enthusiasm, and drive!
I’m currently prepping for my very first market 😅
This is so exciting!!! When is it?😍
@@camryns_cute_creations it is on June 3rd! And I just signed up for my first two day market in august!

Out of the soft yarns, what do you think is the easiest to start working with? I noticed I have trouble finding the stitches the softer bulker the yarn.
I love the bernat blanket yarn! :) it’s tricky but try lighter colors to practice:)
Pattern for the chickens?? They are adorable. ❤
Those are from thecosystitch:) will have to add those to links in description! Totally forgot:)

I love your work! 👏🏼 where can I find the pattern for the chicken, my daughter loves it , I look in your instagram but couldn’t find it

Thank you!!💖💖
Will this work for other types of handmade? I make jewelry too and im looking for a worksheet like this
Hey there! I believe you're referring to the Pricing Calculator I displayed :) It should absolutely work for other types of crafts! You may want to change around some of the terminology, though, for your own clarity.
If you send me an email, I'd love to talk more about how it can be made to work for you!
@@camryns_cute_creations awesome. Is it available for sale yet and where if it is? Im new to your channel so i will be bunge watching your vids 😀
Where do you find coupons for yarn
I have the Joanns app!
