No need to justify your pricing on your items! It’s your time, your work and you can justify what feels right for you! I’ve learned doing markets that if someone wants/admires your work they will be willing to pay for it.
Joann’s isn’t closing. I work there , they filed chapter 11 bankruptcy which isn’t the kind which means they’re closing stores or anything. but we’re just “restructuring “ as a company. So glad I still have my job and I don’t know what I would do without Joann’s. They’re only closing stores that aren’t making any money. They say 95 percent of their stores are still profitable so I wouldn’t be worried !
So glad to hear you still have your job!!! From what I've read online it looks like a lot of the "restructuring" also has to do with taking the company back off the stock market and going back to being a privately owned company. I'm just glad it's not going anywhere. I live local to the company HQ and its been a dream to try and get a job at the corporate level one day. The dream is still alive!
I appreciate your honesty and Vulnerability about your experience! You’re a champ for pushing through that uncomfortable experience and I’m sorry you had such an awkward encounter. The only market I’ve done is a small town 45 minutes away, but it’s such a welcoming space with lots of great people so I just continue to go there and hopefully I can eventually get out of my comfy zone and do other ones. I’ve been loving your videos ! ❤
I literally felt tears in my eyes when you told the story of how you were made to feel uncomfortable by the organizer. She was very unprofessional but probably thinks she was well in her rights. So glad your dad showed up! Hopefully next market will be better. At least you made a profit…more yarn😂.
You gave me the courage to become a vendor and finally take place at a craft fair!! It’s not til October but I’m only 17 and juggling work, school, and sports, so it gives me time to prepare, thank you!!
I’m so sorry you had that experience girly. I’m so happy your papa saved you though! I literally got teary eyes bc my dad would do that for sure 😭🥹 I will be staying away from malls lol😂 your booth was so adorable though!!🤭
I have an outdoor event in two weeks so I KNOW I will have a better experience and have that market spark again 🥹 and thank you !! Constantly evolving the displays 😅 papa is the best, always has my back and really is so supportive of what I’m doing. I love hearing in your videos when you talk about what your dad build and all the ways he is helping and supporting you too. These people in our lives caring and supporting our business is so special, I’m grateful 🥹
I would LOVE a tips video! I’ve been making inventory, but I’m too nervous to sign up to any markets! I’m so sorry about your experience at the mall event - that sounds like a total nightmare!
I’m going to an outdoor event in two weeks and know the market spark will be back so I’m really looking forward to it 🥰 I will definitely have to work on making the tips !
Girl…😩 self sabotage is so real. I feel the same way when it comes to starting a TH-cam channel. I did a vlogmas for 30 days in 2023 but nothing else. But good for you to push forward. I really enjoy your channel and thanks for sharing your time and talents 🥰💃🏽.
What a funny coincidence! I literally started watching hunter hunter not long ago too, I'm around 20-30 episodes in! Love your vids and the little anime references throughout :)
i wanted to say thank you for that lil pep talk at 17:49, about creating what you love and not just goin with what everyone else wants. a person in my life told me to "stop crocheting jester hats, no one will want to buy those." i really appreciate your kind words ♥♥
So I don't crochet, but hand sew and machine sew. I too get addicted to trying new things and starting new projects. I want to start doing markets but just found out I will be moving. So for now I'm getting to try out different patterns and time myself for future reference. Love your vids. I watch/listen while at work and immediately gravitated towards you and your vlogs.
I just wanted to tell u that I have been subscribed for a bit now and u have turned into one of my favorites to watch!! U help me to push myself to follow through even if I don’t feel like everything is perfect enough to sign up for a market! ❤ Oh yeah and love all ur bunnies….lol😊
That makes me so glad 🥹🥰 you’re going to have an amazing time at your market even when we criticize ourselves, what we do is really special and brightens people’s day! My bunnies are my literal babies 😂 turning them into a whole business over here ahahahha
its so crazy how different experiences are !! im sorry you didnt had a fun time tho, thats how i felt when i went to a comic book convention. but i went to the mall twice now n did really good ! it also depends on the place too. i hope your next market is more successful
Oh my goodness I’m so glad you had a good experience 🥹 really, I was so worried after today like I need to warn my people that nobody is looking for handmade goods here and definitely this area or this mall was such (it’s not even my local mall which was my bad). And I was thinking a con would be better 😅 such a trial and error marketing events are I guess !
@@SweetBeansCrochet i felt that !! i immediately told people too not to do a comic book show cause everyone is mainly there for comicbooks😭 markets be such weird but fun learning curve
Thank you for the pattern ! She is a perfect market make you are right 😋 love her in baby bear for keychains, I can’t imagine how cute she would be jumbo in bernat 🥹
In love with all your plushies, I freehand, and use regular acrylic yarn cause it allows me to have more detail but this makes me want to make more softies!
I'm really sorry you had a not so great experience at your market :c Wishing all the happy vibes for your next market ✨️ Your work is amazing as ever! Excited to get the moth pattern
I would love a tips video! You are so inspiring and I really want to start my own business. Could you talk about having a full time job while also running your own business? Love your videos and your work is amazing!
I love how you bop around between different patterns and ideas. I do the same with my quilting business. Maybe one day I’ll settle into one main idea, but I’m having fun until then.
I am definitely not one to sit down and make 40 of the same plushie it’s not in my soul! There are so many patterns that I love and that I’m looking forward to making😍 It definitely makes you unique🫶🏻☺️
I was about to ask about the giant pins and u just explain it. Looks pretty useful, I avoid patterns with sewing 'cause they always end up funny looking but this looks like a great solution so thanks u ❤
I love your videos! And I don't have a crochet business, but I do love making plushies and have thought maybeeee I'd do markets at some point. I'd love to see your tips video!
Love canva to create but highly recommend using staples to have cards etc printed. They’re so much more affordable and the quality is always great! P.s. love your content ❤
Back with a second comment lol! I've just recently started crocheting, about a month or 2 ago. I would absolutely love a video on selling crochet items, markets, all that good stuff. For instance, do you need a business license? How early should you apply to markets? What do you need for set up? Not that you need to go into that much detail, but any advice is always great! I feel like crochet is becoming very popular and I'm sure there would be so many people who would love to have a video discussing markets/selling etc. Love your videos! You're one of my favorite youtubers to watch. You're doing amazing, keep up the good work! ❤
I really love all the prompts ! I’m definitely going to film about it, even if some points are brief like you said this community is growing and I would love to provide the insight I’ve received so far too ☺️🫶🏻 thank you so much for your comments! And thank you for watching 🥹
I love your videos! I am juuuust starting out, and trying to figure out what to sell and make and it’s so overwhelming! I have plans to do markets in the future, and I love everything you share. Please do more tips about prepping for markets!
So sorry about the bad mall experience but thanks for sharing it! I always imagined malls to be a decent place to sell because of natural food traffic but its true not a lot of people go to malls to shop handmade stuff. Also I vouch for HxH and think you should continue! A lot of fans don't really like the first arc (not me I love the first arc haha) but the anime really picks up after that and takes some unexpected turns! Its one of my favorite animes! Thank you for the long video I've been podcasting your videos while I work (day job) and it makes me want to crochet so bad! xD
Love your videos! All the bunnies are so cute and those baby cows 😍. I also have a friend whose a manager for Joann’s and they did file for bankruptcy but they plan to restructure the company and not close any stores as of right now.
I finally got a chance to finish this vlog! First off i would love a tips video. I eventually would like to sell at markets but i have no idea about anything at the moment lol and Robin im so sorry you had that experience at the mall. That lady was acting like she was doing you a huge favor. Like calm down lady she paid to be there. Some people just look for things to be angry about. Thank you for sharing with us though! Oh and i wanted you to know you inspired me to apply to test patterns. I was really nervous but i got chosen for one last week! ❤
Thank you for the support, I’m looking forward to my next event to get out of the funk that lady gave me 😂😅 and I’m so glad ! Pattern testing has become such a fun hobby and everyone is so kind that’s involved usually. I’m happy for you 🥰🥹
hey, actually i'm starting my new business, attending to my first market in couple weeks. love your videos, you give me such inspiracion. lots of love from brasil 🇧🇷.
Robin have you watched Fairytail? Theres definitely some cringey fan service but its still one of my favorite animes in terms of characters and story. Thanks for the relaxing vlogs! ❤❤
I wouldn't say give up on malls. I'd say do some extra research if you can on the mall, and only go with event organisers that actually communicate. That way you could have known and prioritised gaming-themed items for example or if you're opposite a sports store for example, you could make items in colours of local teams etc. I think I few of the prices for your smaller items might be a little high, a 3 for 2 offer on them or a 2 for x offer might be great. Your work is wonderful, and I like that you have some pieces which show a more unique style. Something I might suggest would be crochet accessories for plushies. So like little bags, or hats, or flowers etc. You can probably work them up pretty quickly using left over blanket yarn and sell them for cheap so that people can buy them for the plushies they have at home, or buy one of your plushies and dress them up :) Would also be good if you end up with a frequent spot at an event as you might start to get returning customers looking to get their sweet beans crochet plush a new outfit :)
So sorry you had that experience with the mall market, that sounds so uncomfortable 🙁 her not answering any of your questions too is such a red flag 🥲 I actually just made a big order on Alize yarn because I kept on seeing it everywhere as well! I placed my order on Etsy and while the yarn is affordable, the shipping cost is ridiculously expensive lol. I’m in Canada so not sure if it’ll cost less for US shipping. I’m not sure I can make money back with the cost but I really wanted to make plushies with fuzzy yarn so it’s worth it 🤭 Also I love seeing your irl pet bunnies, so so cute 🥰
I missed the red flags !!! For sure 😩🥹 at least I experienced it once and I can learn from it🥲 I keep seeing Alize on my Etsy too 😂 it’s almost jumping in my cart but it does pop up with a $15 shipping fee 🫣🥲 would love to hear about your experience after you work with it !! Buns are my fav 🥰🥰
Sorry to hear about your experience with that market coordinator, it especially sounded rude of her to harp on you for being late when you attempted to email her in regards to this market days prior with no response.. had she responded, she could have possibly put on a friendly reminder to be there at 9am but she did not. Don't feel bad for what you were not aware of, sounds like she was taking out a bad mood on you.
You MUST continue HXH it’s the best anime you’ll get into it dw! its only flaw is that it’s not long enough.. you’ll get what I mean when you’re done with it!! 😊
I am so sorry you had such a rough experience with the curator of that show. That's such unacceptable behavior, especially to someone new to their event. Big yikes. I'm glad you still were able to profit! Sometimes we have to learn lessons the hard way. But you saved me from wanting to do a mall haha!
Lesson learned 🥹😂I’m going to an outdoor event in two weeks and know the market spark will be back so I’m really looking forward to it 🥰 yes ! Grateful I ended up on the positive end financially !!
would love info on where you got the wooden standing display unit with basket. just the kind of item my sister and I are looking for. keep up the good work.
Yeah, I would say not giving up when you’re frustrated. The first time I made a crochet bunny it took me a literal week, after I pushed through that pattern, the next patterns kept getting quicker and easier to follow. I definitely look out for beginner, friendly patterns, the more you make the more comfortable you’ll feel🫶🏻
I would definetly love some tips! Going to at least one market (or in my case into artist alley in animefest of comiccone) is one of my biggest dream and goal as an artist. While I know someone who went to these events she is the "classic style artist" (she sell sticers, and prints and these types of stuff). So I would love some tips when it comes to plushies. So I can combine many tips and have a good experience in the future. While I think I wont be able to go to one in the next 3 years(xd) due to school I definetly hope I will go one day
I love the big black bunny 😍 I would have died if I was talked to like that the way the EC addressed you. Very unprofessional, and should have taken more care since it was your first time there.
I’m so sorry you had an uncomfortable experience. I love your plushies and watching your market prep. You are very talented. I’m not sure if it was something with my ear buds or something in the video but I did keep hearing almost a clicking sound. Regardless, thank you for posting a wonderful and honest video.
I did a playback and most of the video is clear, at the end my neighborhood birds were having a singing competition 😂😅 thank you so much, I really appreciate that
@@SweetBeansCrochet awww thanks for checking. The birds did sound like they were having fun 😂 I bet my ear buds are just going. 🤦🏻♀️ I’m looking forward to your next video. I hope you are having an amazing week.
a market in a mall??? do people still use those??? OMG bunnys soooooooooooo cute, the hoodies are just........like wow.....like melt people cute. like ark of the covenant cute, think of the sceen in indiana jones, they hold up bunny in hoodie and everyone melts. Tooo too cute. what about lemon cow? or is that weird? im sorry my comment is already too long, omg little albino bunny
I ended up finishing Hunter x Hunter and wishing they had more seasons haha! Although there are soooo many good anime, if you're already 20 episodes in, I feel like that's already a lot of time sacrificed to feel it out.
Joannes is only filing Chapter 11 but is not closing stores for now. So no, they are not going bankrupt just having a re-arrangement of their finances.
When you are talking about dragons, you keep saying "Asta", but I couldn't find one named that. Is it "Astra the baby dragon"? Astra with an "r", maybe? I'm also looking for a smaller dragon.
I was completely just pronouncing that wrong all video 🥹😂 it’s definitely Astra and this is the pattern I bought www.etsy.com/listing/1651707556/astra-the-baby-dragon-crochet-pattern?click_key=89bbde6ad8e6dde55f5180fc88bca1d00608291c%3A1651707556&click_sum=04a59ccd&ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=asta+the+dragon&ref=sr_gallery-1-11&organic_search_click=1&bes=1&dd=1&content_source=f9474084643f10c05a4ae3a9d0a0ac01fa800a4a%253A1651707556 I still have yet to try her out but she looks like a smaller dragon, not sure on the size comparison yet but I’m looking forward to trying her out ☺️
I am Brazilian, when I commented on this, no type of subtitle appeared, now the automatic one appears in English and those generated by Google in other languages, I'm going to put it in Portuguese and review the video, I love your channel@@SweetBeansCrochet
Hi love your vids & plushies & how you’re an anime nerd lol love a good anime so no hate or criticism with this comment but you should try thinking about looking into the camera lens more instead of looking at yourself on the screen. Just a lil youtube pet peeve of mine it just looks like you’re not like talking to us when ppl don’t look in the camera yk? I’ve seen a lot of youtube 101/start your channel videos & I see a lot of ppl point that out & I see why it bothers ppl. So don’t want anyone to be like ugh I like her but can’t stand that she won’t look in the camera 😂. I don’t mind so much that I won’t watch but it’s just such a simple thing ppl overlook that make videos even more personal. Especially for lengthy let’s chill together vids like this. Again saying this with nothing but love 🥰💖🌸
No need to justify your pricing on your items! It’s your time, your work and you can justify what feels right for you! I’ve learned doing markets that if someone wants/admires your work they will be willing to pay for it.
🥹 YES I have been noticing that to be true too, if they really want it they will get it.
I looooooove how long your videos are! It makes it so I don't have to keep going through videos every 20 minutes❤😊
That’s my whole goal with the long videos 🥹🫶🏻 I’m glad you enjoy them !!!
Same! It's like crocheting with a friend
Joann’s isn’t closing. I work there , they filed chapter 11 bankruptcy which isn’t the kind which means they’re closing stores or anything. but we’re just “restructuring “ as a company. So glad I still have my job and I don’t know what I would do without Joann’s. They’re only closing stores that aren’t making any money.

When i was watching I heard refined vibes ( about the sit in bees) I literally gasped. It’s a small crochet world.😂😊
Ahahah yes !! Small world, love this community

It has definitely been on my mind 😍😂 I’m obsessed ahahah you really pulled my arm for this one 😉

Hi! I’m hoping to attend my first market and would definitely be interested in a tips video. I love watching your videos while I am crocheting ❤
I make a longer tail at the beginning and run that up the back side as my stitch marker. works like a charm and you can't lose it.
hey, actually i'm starting my new business, attending to my first market in couple weeks.
love your videos, you give me such inspiracion.
lots of love from brasil 🇧🇷.
How exciting 🥰🫶🏻 good luck with your market ! It will be great
I love your channel! I also live in Florida.. I have been researching events and wonder if you have recommendations for events in Florida?
Yay I've been waiting for a new video to work to!

Pls do the tips video, I want to start a crochet business kinda like made with April’s! Love your content:)
omg i did that elephant too and i also scraped him 😆
You ABSOLUTELY need to watch Yona of the Dawn!!!!! 🥰🥰🥰

I’m not sure I can make money back with the cost but I really wanted to make plushies with fuzzy yarn so it’s worth it 🤭
Also I love seeing your irl pet bunnies, so so cute 🥰
I missed the red flags !!! For sure 😩🥹 at least I experienced it once and I can learn from it🥲
I keep seeing Alize on my Etsy too 😂 it’s almost jumping in my cart but it does pop up with a $15 shipping fee 🫣🥲 would love to hear about your experience after you work with it !!
Buns are my fav 🥰🥰
Sorry to hear about your experience with that market coordinator, it especially sounded rude of her to harp on you for being late when you attempted to email her in regards to this market days prior with no response.. had she responded, she could have possibly put on a friendly reminder to be there at 9am but she did not. Don't feel bad for what you were not aware of, sounds like she was taking out a bad mood on you.
You MUST continue HXH it’s the best anime you’ll get into it dw! its only flaw is that it’s not long enough.. you’ll get what I mean when you’re done with it!! 😊
Oh my goodness ! 🥹I’ll have to pick it back up !
I am so sorry you had such a rough experience with the curator of that show. That's such unacceptable behavior, especially to someone new to their event. Big yikes. I'm glad you still were able to profit! Sometimes we have to learn lessons the hard way. But you saved me from wanting to do a mall haha!
Lesson learned 🥹😂I’m going to an outdoor event in two weeks and know the market spark will be back so I’m really looking forward to it 🥰 yes ! Grateful I ended up on the positive end financially !!
i have my first market coming up next month so any tips u give will be greatly appreciated! 😊
How exciting ! I will be working on that video ☺️
give hxh time it gets sooo good i swear
would love info on where you got the wooden standing display unit with basket. just the kind of item my sister and I are looking for. keep up the good work.
Hey I have a market tips video where I link all my listed market display props 👋🏻🫶🏻
I can’t crochet but that’s also cuz I started trying to do it yesterday any tips?(and I’m subbing I love ur video
Yeah, I would say not giving up when you’re frustrated. The first time I made a crochet bunny it took me a literal week, after I pushed through that pattern, the next patterns kept getting quicker and easier to follow. I definitely look out for beginner, friendly patterns, the more you make the more comfortable you’ll feel🫶🏻
I would definetly love some tips! Going to at least one market (or in my case into artist alley in animefest of comiccone) is one of my biggest dream and goal as an artist. While I know someone who went to these events she is the "classic style artist" (she sell sticers, and prints and these types of stuff). So I would love some tips when it comes to plushies. So I can combine many tips and have a good experience in the future. While I think I wont be able to go to one in the next 3 years(xd) due to school I definetly hope I will go one day
Coming right up 😋 and that’s a dream of mine too. I see so many big artists being apart of those cons and it truly is amazing !
Ughhh our Joann’s closed in January 🥲 all the nearest stores are over an hour away now. I can believe it!
Oh no !!! I still have 2 stores open in my area I am a frequent flyer in there, I would have a hard time doing completely online yarn shopping 🥲🥲
I love the big black bunny 😍 I would have died if I was talked to like that the way the EC addressed you. Very unprofessional, and should have taken more care since it was your first time there.
I’m so sorry you had an uncomfortable experience. I love your plushies and watching your market prep. You are very talented. I’m not sure if it was something with my ear buds or something in the video but I did keep hearing almost a clicking sound. Regardless, thank you for posting a wonderful and honest video.
I did a playback and most of the video is clear, at the end my neighborhood birds were having a singing competition 😂😅 thank you so much, I really appreciate that
@@SweetBeansCrochet awww thanks for checking. The birds did sound like they were having fun 😂 I bet my ear buds are just going. 🤦🏻♀️ I’m looking forward to your next video. I hope you are having an amazing week.
HunterXHunter is one of my favorite animes it’s sooo good!
a market in a mall??? do people still use those???
OMG bunnys soooooooooooo cute, the hoodies are just........like wow.....like melt people cute. like ark of the covenant cute, think of the sceen in indiana jones, they hold up bunny in hoodie and everyone melts. Tooo too cute.
what about lemon cow? or is that weird?
im sorry my comment is already too long, omg little albino bunny
I would like the tip video, cause i have only sold online so far,and would like to start vending maybe.
I’ve had such an amazing time selling in person with people falling in love with crochet 🥹 I’m going to get crunching on that tips video 😉
I ended up finishing Hunter x Hunter and wishing they had more seasons haha!
Although there are soooo many good anime, if you're already 20 episodes in, I feel like that's already a lot of time sacrificed to feel it out.
I think a tips video would be very helpful 😊
Tips video is on my channel now !! 🫶🏻
Sorry if this was already asked but where did you find that display piece that you show at the hour and one minute mark!?
In (most videos) and my market tips video I have a master link for all market display items 🥰
Joannes is only filing Chapter 11 but is not closing stores for now. So no, they are not going bankrupt just having a re-arrangement of their finances.
Thank you for the clarification 😅 the news really makes it seem bad! I’m glad we still get our stores 🙏🏼
When you are talking about dragons, you keep saying "Asta", but I couldn't find one named that. Is it "Astra the baby dragon"? Astra with an "r", maybe? I'm also looking for a smaller dragon.
I was completely just pronouncing that wrong all video 🥹😂 it’s definitely Astra and this is the pattern I bought
www.etsy.com/listing/1651707556/astra-the-baby-dragon-crochet-pattern?click_key=89bbde6ad8e6dde55f5180fc88bca1d00608291c%3A1651707556&click_sum=04a59ccd&ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=asta+the+dragon&ref=sr_gallery-1-11&organic_search_click=1&bes=1&dd=1&content_source=f9474084643f10c05a4ae3a9d0a0ac01fa800a4a%253A1651707556
I still have yet to try her out but she looks like a smaller dragon, not sure on the size comparison yet but I’m looking forward to trying her out ☺️
@@SweetBeansCrochet thank you so much!! Can't wait to see one made!!
Whee did you get your display items?
I have a market tips video I link all my display items in the description🫶🏻
Wait i tried that exact free elephant pattern and i also didnt like the turnout 😦
Oooooo I was also thinking it could be the baby bear yarn too making it a strange size/my tension idk but if I’m not the only one 🤔😢 idk
Where can I find the artist you mentioned about the logo
She recently changed her username to lalacloudstudio on Instagram ☺️
I wanted to find one of the patterns, opened your doc and none of the links worked for me. 😢
I had this problem as well. I'll check back later to see if it gets fixed
Oh no ! I’ll have to take a look I just got off from work so I will try to get everything up and running 🥲🥲
do you perchance play league? :)
I perchance am a support main if it still counts 🥹😂😭 I refuse to try and be a carry but I love the game
i went into depression when I saw that there were no subtitles, but I'm going to spend an hour watching it without understanding lol
Oh no ! I’m so sorry I know TH-cam has auto cc for English I’m not sure if you needed it in a other language 😢
I am Brazilian, when I commented on this, no type of subtitle appeared, now the automatic one appears in English and those generated by Google in other languages, I'm going to put it in Portuguese and review the video, I love your channel@@SweetBeansCrochet
Hi love your vids & plushies & how you’re an anime nerd lol love a good anime so no hate or criticism with this comment but you should try thinking about looking into the camera lens more instead of looking at yourself on the screen. Just a lil youtube pet peeve of mine it just looks like you’re not like talking to us when ppl don’t look in the camera yk? I’ve seen a lot of youtube 101/start your channel videos & I see a lot of ppl point that out & I see why it bothers ppl. So don’t want anyone to be like ugh I like her but can’t stand that she won’t look in the camera 😂. I don’t mind so much that I won’t watch but it’s just such a simple thing ppl overlook that make videos even more personal. Especially for lengthy let’s chill together vids like this. Again saying this with nothing but love 🥰💖🌸
