This is the most important and reasonable video I have ever seen. All your suggestions are spot on. I'm 84 have sold at craft shows never got rich and always worked a regular job. Did make money and was happy to share my crafts and make enough to pay a couple bills plus buy more supplies. Asking people today to pay you and hour wages plus plus plus is simply cutting your own profits. You have to lov what you do and love sharing without all the strings attached Love ALL your items Hats are creative and stunning Thank you for sharing your wisdom
Thank you so much for your comment. I love that you are here giving me your support. It means so much coming from someone who I'm sure has some crafting wisdom of her own. Much love!
It made me smile to hear it too & now I can watch it over and over. I hope to record her as much as possible. I wish I would've started a long time ago.
Sorry your weather wasn't great. But your display was beautiful! You worked hard and it showed. I'm glad your mom got to go with you and that she had fun.
You are such a professional 😀. Love your set-ups, - it looks just like a regular store, and you have multiple of the same hats etc. The green for the dinosaurs are also gorgeous. Great to see you working with your mom, but the weather was a pity... Thanks for sharing with us...
Hey Linda! Thank you! The weather was def a pity, but it was not the first market that rained and I'm sure it won't be the last. Thank you for always supporting me. You are the best! Happy Crocheting!!
I couldn’t wait to finish my work day so I could put my feet up and watch your video! Everything you make is just fabulous and your market setup looks very professional! Sorry about the weather but hey, you’ve got your new setup all figured out! 🎉Thanks for putting this video together…I know it’s a ton of work.❤
I am not worried about the weather. It happens sometimes. It wasn't the first and I'm sure it won't be the last soggy market. Thank you for looking forward to my videos and for your support. I appreciate you and I look forward to reading your sweet comments too. Have a great week. Much love to you!
Thank you so much! I did show how to use the tag gun in this video a little bit. Thank you for the idea and for watching. I appreciate the support. Much love to you!
I was glad she was there too. We enjoy our time together and as we are aging, I appreciate those moments more and more. Thank you so much for always supporting me. I look forward to reading your comments each week. Have a great day!
I loved seeing all the different character hats you've made and the range you have. I really hope you are able to make a book with all your patterns because i am dying to make the unicorn and frozen hats for my goddaughter. Shes five and would lose it over them. I could see her going to bed wearing them shed love it so much made by her Auntie. Please keep making your content. I love all the baby makes, they are my favorite to create too. I am learning so much!
Wow, thank you for your sweet comment. I hope to start publishing my patterns in the future. The hats are so much fun for kids to wear and your goddaughter would love it so much. Thank you so much for your support and for watching. Much love and Happy Crocheting!
Aww, your mom 🥰🥰 so sweet. Her comment about spending time with you just melted my heart. That was so so sweet. Making the character hats reminds me so much of what I crocheted when I first started my business 10 years ago. The owl hats are so so popular. I no longer make them, but seeing all the hats hung up brought back some nostalgia for me. 🫶
My mom is the sweetest. I see that you have def switched it up from making character hats, lol. I love watching your videos. It seems like we like to make a lot of the same things, although I'd really like to know the pattern for the chicken and egg you sell. I thought it was the Oak & Marlow, but that pattern is much smaller it seems. Did you make the pattern yourself? I'm starting to think I'm going to have to make my own to make it bigger. Thanks so much for watching and commenting. Happy Crocheting!
Everything looked so grest! I love your sweet mom and the relationship you guys have! Your hats are so amazing and unique, I love every single one of them! Thank you so much for this video, you gave some great tips.
LOVE your market set up and the hats you showed! They are so cute! Also so smart using a tagging gun! I like putting my prices on each item or on a big sign so people can see them without needing to ask. Keep up the hard work!
I appreciate your support and look forward to your comments. The tagging gun was fun too, lol. It's a game changer, now pricing won't seem like such a chore. Have a great week. Happy Crocheting!
I’m so glad that you guys got to spend some time together! I love the Anna and Elsa hats and pikachu and Spider-Man lol everything looked so beautiful!
I'm glad she was able to come too. She's always been so supportive, and I love her for that. I appreciate your support as well. Thank you for watching and commenting. Much love!
Hi April! I enjoyed your video and watching your set up. Great thinking in the tag gun, too. I don’t sell, just like crocheting many of the same things you make. So cool that you were scouted out for more shows…can’t wait to see how you do! ❤
Thank you so much for watching. The tag gun was fun to use, lol. I have so many more things I want to make. I have been purchasing patterns on Etsy like crazy. I have some new makes to share.
I really enjoyed this one . Haha I loved all that I have watched but I so loved seeing all of your hats. I retired from a bakery and for 2 decades I made several hats for the people I worked with even some of my favorite customers. My grandson has received several hats as well as Afghans. While working at the bakery I helped the owner 's wife with making baby hats for her charity. I think hats and shawls are my favorite things to make. Haha way I know I am writing a book I wanted to tell you something I learned from other podcasts. Some charge $20 -$15 an hour pluse the weight their hat to see how much to charge. Your handwork is amazing. One more than ng do you use 4 or 5 weight yarn. Take care and you look like your mom
Another great video! I love that your Mom got to go with you🥰 and I loved when you said your hubby watched law&order & napped with your step dad ❣️ how very sweet! The crappy weather was a real downer ☹️ and I don’t think you’re lovies are over priced. I’m doing my first summer show in years this July 😬😬 it’s a 3 day show & I’m SOOOOOO worried! 😳🤦🏻♀️ Normally my biggest sellers are Hats, Shawls & ponchos! 🤦🏻♀️ Not the things people will purchase in July. So I’ve made a bunch of plushies, bandanas, keychains & my tried & true catnip toys🐈 🤞🏻🤞🏻 for good weather!!!!
Thank you! Try not to worry too much & have fun at your market. The plushies always go over well & it sounds like you have other non winter products. You will do great! What are these tried & true catnip toys you speak of, lol?
This might be my favorite video of yours so far and I love watching ALL of your videos. My market display is pretty all set, but I’m going to use your tagging idea for the store I sell my snugglers and plushies in, thank you!!!
Thank you so much for the support!! I really appreciate you so much!! I will say I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the tagging gun, lol. I normally hate pricing, but it is a game changer. Much love and happy crocheting!
Tagging plushie thought, i think they would be heavy and pull the yarn around where you attach, no? You also got a great opportunity to try your new setup! And ive had far worse shows 😅 Glad your mom got to go! ❤
Very fun video . And your mom was there which was wonderful I also love that when she said. It's always wonderful to spend time with you. When my daughters help me or a granddaughter tell me.❤❤❤ Your work is beautiful and you are an amazing person to do what you do. Till next time.
Oh the Ohio rain, ugh! 😅 Loved this video and the way you keep it real for us. Can I ask, do you use Bernat for your car swings and keychains? I want to make some, but I am afraid they will get too big. I am definitely a Bernat girly!
Yes, I do use Bernat for the car swings. The majority of the keychains I do as well, except for the mushy pops. Those I use the Sweet Snuggles Lite from Michaels. It is the best for those. Thank you so much for watching and supporting me. Much love to you!
Oh my gosh you have the best stuff!!! I love your behind the scenes content. May I ask if you have a pattern for all those coasters, I have not seen them before. Thank you for sharing.
The coasters are punch needle. I drew the templates myself & I looked online for ideas, but you could trace them. Hope that helps. Please let me know if you have any further questions.
Thank you so much! That is so sweet. Def keep making and pushing yourself. It's so fun to finish a new project and know you made it yourself! Thank you so much for your support!
Hi! My first market of the season is tomorrow. My largest ever, so I’m watching this in preparation 😆 Thanks for sharing so much!!! And I’m currently hoping my bags show up today from Amazon lol
OMG! How exciting!! How was it? I love doing markets as they are so much fun & I hope your Amazon order was there in time. Thank you so much for your support and for watching. Much love!!
Great Video April! Very informative and I think all your preparation will help so much for future shows. I’ve done craft shows but for paper products. I’ve started making plushies as well.. for an imaginary show for now lol… I did want to ask for a video suggestion. Where would you start to actually make your hobby a business? Thanks again for a fun video!
@@LeeAnnahsCreations I need to publish this pattern along with so many others. I am so sorry. Stick with me though. My goal is to start cranking out patterns after this fall. I am going to give up market prepping for next year to get my patterns finalized.
I love your videos 😊 you’ve probably heard this before but you look like the mom on Bridgerton 😮I was watching that just now and switched to TH-cam and saw the resemblance
LOL, I have NOT heard that one. I get Jennifer Aniston sometimes. I laughed though because I just binged the 2nd half of the 3rd season. I love Bridgerton so much!! Thank you so much for commenting and watching. I really appreciate you more than you know & I loved your comment. Thanks for making me smile!
I'm watching you for the first time and thinking "Who does she remind me of?" When I read Jennifer Aniston, I thought ,"that's who!". Enoying your videos. Wish you well with your markets. 🤗😺
I meshed 2 patterns, lol. I made the birds from the Mini Flockers Pattern by: Knots by Jak. The swing is from "Bee on a Swing" By @close.knit.crochet. Hope that helps. Sorry for the delay in responding to you. Have a great day.

The tagging gun is a game changer! Now I’m off to Amazon. 😂
It really was! I enjoyed it too, lol.
Omg! That unicorn hat should be priced at 60 or above!!! Actually, all the hats need a price adjustment UPWARD!!! Adorable and so unique!
@@madridcsr I would love to! I have raised them over to years. It is hard to find that sweet spot.
Love your channel. Awh so glad you had your Mom with you. Love on her, so special. Thank you for sharing your journey.
Thank you! I appreciate your support and your comment is so sweet! Much love!
Awww you're mum is so sweet. You both have the same eyes. Love! Love your stuff💕💕💕
Thank you so much! She really is so sweet! Her support has been everything to me!
I really like your set up 😁 I would love to see how you created your signs and tagging everything with your new tag gun
