    I love your content and very candid vlogs. It was great seeing you at Otakon! Not sure if you noticed this, but your sales at Otakon may have been impacted from competition. There was another crochet artist selling very similar products at similar price points in the dealer’s room. She had a ton of flower crochet items and other cute crochet bags, jewelry, and plushies. That crochet artist’s booth was also pretty close to the dealer’s room entrance.

      I did notice that some people asked me to wrap my flowers together with theirs and it made be a bit uncomfy 🥲 it is what it is, it's trendy right now so competition will be inevitable sometimes I guess ahh
      Thank you!!

    I was so happy to see you at Otakon! I was excited to be able to get the sunflowers I missed out on at ACEN. Next time I see you I'm hoping to grab a bunny or a totoro. :) Your booth was lovely and so was your sunflower friend. I hope you get some well deserved rest and success for the next event!
