When is your next show!?😍💕 Are you feeling prepped for it!?⬇
June 22nd it's for pride I'm so excited
Dec 7! I do not feel ready, but I'm prepping my inventory!
2 days
I have nothing and no money
With the broken ones you could put them in a little mesh bag and put them inside the snowman/pumpkin with the stuffing to make the smell stronger
That is an excellent idea! Thank you!
Yes please, add a amigurumi price tag video please! Also a business card video please. Your snowmen are adorable!
I definitely have an amigurumi tag video planned!
@@camryns_cute_creations yay!
i literally love you, this is exactly what I needed to hear 2 weeks before my first market and i signed up 2 weeks ago! I know it will probably be a smaller event but also like if someone wants something and I run out then what that's money lost right? nope. all just a learning experience, supposed to be fun you're totally right !
Alice watching you put the snowmen in the bag was adorable!
She is always such a sweetie!! ❤️
I would use the wonky cinnamon sticks as pumpkin stems. I would definitely be more drawn to a more natural looking stem than a perfect tight straight stem myself. It makes them a little more individual too which adds to the fun of picking out the perfect one, which is one of my favorite things about art shows/fairs.
I'm obsessed with these snowmen they're sooo cute!
They are sooo cute, aren't they??❤️
Really liked watching you prepare for a market. I feel like that part is just as valuable as the actual market if not more❤ Thank you for bringing us along
I'm so glad you liked it and found it valuable!! :) The preparation is so important for markets, you're right!
I love this video ❤ I love listening to you videos when I crochet 😊
I have a suggestion for the broken cinnamon sticks: you can grind them up like in a food processor or a zester ( like for lemon zest) so you can have ground cinnamon for your oatmeal!
That is an interesting idea!! It makes me anxious, but I might have to try it 😂
I don't craft in my craft room, either, unless I need to use a large surface. The lighting is so much better in the living room. I should maybe do something about that.
It's always so much more comfy in the living room! And better lighting, like you said!
For your chai, not sure what kind of sweetener you use, but I use honey in mine and it's better for you than regular sugar. LOL It's what I tell myself anyway.
I use dates in my tea for a sweetener. Trying to be "better" as well, lol.
Yes, I love adding honey!! ❤️❤️
love your vlogs so much!!!
Okay, I have a market in 2 days so this is PERFECT!!
That’s so exciting!!! ❤️❤️
I'm prepping for a market this weekend (Dec 16th) as well! Last one of the year. I'm a bookbinder and make handmade journals, notebooks and sketchbooks. I love your pricing calculator! My goal for next year is to better track my expenses and labor time. Love your videos and your energy! Have a great week!
Oh my gosh, I would love to check out some of your journals sometime!! 😍😍 that’s so exciting you have your last one for the year!
Do you do customs? I'd love to get a book journal
Why do the cinnamon sticks look like Takis 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I crochet pieces of my hair in to my stuff by accident ALL THE TIME. It's SO annoying lol.
It’s the curse of long hair! 😂❤️
@@camryns_cute_creations Right! 😆
Looking foward to watching the video while making a velvet beanie using your pattern! question about it: how do you count the rows so you make sure you have the right amount? do you count or do you do it based on the measurements of the panel
edit: I start making my gifts in august and september because the holidays are a very busy time for businesses, especially handmade ones
I do count the individual rows!
@@camryns_cute_creations How do you keep track?
I like oatmeal! Glad your market went so well. Do you think "farmhouse" was a key word for sales for the snowmen? I often think a keyword draws attention. I've been making headbands and ear warmers. Do those sell well for you? Love your channel. Lots of great tips.
I’m so glad you love it!! I do made headbands (which can act as ear warmers) and they sell very well for me!
Watching this, I really need to get your pricing calculator. I have ocd and everything I've tried doing it without one and it anoys me. Just watching you do this on the calculator is satisfying to me. I can only imagine how much less stressful it would be if I do it for my stuff. Will be purchasing it next week.
If anyone is considering getting Camryns Pricing Calculator... DO IT!! Seriously one of the best investments I've made - i use it for EVERYTHING! She really thought of everything and anything while creating it. Definitely worth the investment!
Oh my goodness, thank you so much for that ringing endorsement!! :) ❤️ Your kind words have made my day!
Can you use it on your phone?
@@user-qy3wr2tx5p It is a google spreadsheet - so yes you can!
I have a market on Saturday. I’m just bringing my Christmas decorations and amigarumi. It’s an outdoor event so I’m thinking just my 6 foot table should be fine.
I'd love to hear how it went!! :)
@@camryns_cute_creations The market was actually my best of the year. I didn’t have a ton of stuff since it was the end of the season for me. Before each market after I’ve got my table or booth set up I go live on Instagram to let everyone who follows me know that I’m having a market. I was certain no one watched as I’ve never had interaction before, but this time a crocheted friend of mine called me and asked me if there was room for her to set up her self at the market. I said yes, and she joined me. I often enjoy markets because I can talk with customers, but this time, I got to talk with not only customers but crocheters who were thinking about how to become a crafter and sell their crochet. I also sold lots of my crochet and I really focused on having Amigarumi . I sold out of the triceratops I have. The pattern is by Club Crochet, I had two left of the Christmas Tree POP by Cable and Canvas, I sold out of my large plush octopuses. I wish I had more to sell but since this was at the end of my season, I didn’t have a large amount in inventory and this year my goal was to see what sells. For me, hands down it is Amigarumi and next year I plan to be Amigarumi heavy. People looked at my mug rugs, and cup cozies and my face scrubbier sets but Amigarumi was what was selling the most. I embroider my faces and that seems to be a big selling feature for people who are gifting my crochet to littles or just keeping it for themselves as desk friends. But that by sewing faces I can create character for each one seems to be a selling point for me. I’m excited about the new year and selling more Amigarumi!
Love oatmeal. Especially with raisins and cranberries. Currently eating overnight oats 😂
Cranberries in oatmeal is so good!
Your new camera is amazing!
Thank you! I'm loving it so much!
You know what else goes well in oatmeal? Nutella!
Oh my goodness, that sounds so good!
Doing my first show in February! I am so excited and nervous! Thanks for all your tips, definitely feeling like it’s all going to be okay!
What camera do you use to video your vlogs? And what editing software? Thanks!
For editing, we use Premiere Pro, and I usually use my phone for vlogs and when I'm on the move!
Oatmeal is good with additions lol it falls under the ramen noodle category for me.. starving but don’t want to stop and cook! I have like an emergency 1st aid kit for meals 😅
That's such a smart idea!
I can't seem to find any markets that aren't the coming weekend! I've got so many things and in this Q4 time I need to find some kind of market. I can't get myself out there without one. 😬
A good idea might be going to an event as a customer and asking some of the vendors about other events they know about!
@@camryns_cute_creations I wish we had a lot around me..most here I don't find out about until the day of...and so far we've already had plans for that day...but I do plan on doing that! I'm currently working on a TH-cam channel and Instagram too. So far I'm at 45 here on TH-cam and 50 on IG...LOL
I know it wasn't a sales pitch...but I'm sold! 😅 I use similar guidelines but I feel like I definitely don't charge enough because of my transaction fees, booth fees, etc
There are often so many less overt costs that end up, in the end, bringing our profits down!
@camryns_cute_creations I agree! We do a pretty good job of keeping track of our costs, but including them in our prices is another story! 😅 your calculator is super user friendly and I'm definitely not pricing anything else without it!
What pattern do you use for your baby booties? I have bernat yarn #6 100% polyester, and the you tube videos I watch mine is always bigger? Same with baby hats I use with this yarn.
This is the pattern is use from Croby Patterns :) crobypatterns.com/crochet-baby-booties-in-15-minutes-or-less/
On the 22nd i have my first market, i will inly have ine table and it will be outside, i will find out where my location will be the day before, if the event starts at 9 what time do u recommend me being there to start setting up with one table and a canapy?
If it's your first market, I definitely recommend you trying to be there at least an hour early! I would suggest trying to do some practice set ups so you know what you're going to do when you get there!
You’ve got another really cute sweater on in this video ❤ TJmax? Please be a pattern?!
That one I did get from TJ Max!
I love how clear your video is!!! What type of camera do you use?
My camera is the Sony ZV E10!
Hi Camryn! Do you mmind sharing what type of camera youre using? Love the quality!😊
I am using a Sony ZV E-10!
I heard a variant of your husband’s perspective exercise:
Is this going to matter in 5 minutes, 5 hours, 5 days, 5 months, or 5 years?
Would love a tag for amigurumi items please 🙏
That's definitely something I want to create soon!
💖💖💓
❤️❤️
Crocheting your own hair into the project is the WORST lolol
