    Artists and young women business owners like you are the reason I watch your videos with my niece. I know it's not easy and you've come a long way. But you have what it takes to push through and show younger artists that it can be done! You're a wonderful role model for sure! Thank You!

    Hiii soo i just found your channel... and i thought it was amazing!!! I do crochet also so here are 5 tips for crocheting!
    1.) Choose the right yarn and hook for begginers, i recommend using a 3.0 or 3.5 mm hook. For the yarn i prefer acrylic or cotton yarn
    2.) Learn Basic Stitches First
    Begin with the chain stitch (ch), single crochet (sc), and double crochet (dc). These are the foundation of many crochet patterns and are simple to master.
    3.)Keep Tension Loose
    Don’t pull the yarn too tightly when you crochet. Loose tension will make it easier to insert your hook into the stitches, and your finished pieces will look more even.
    4.)Practice Counting Stitches
    Make sure you count your stitches in each row to avoid accidentally adding or losing stitches. Mark the first or last stitch of a row with a stitch marker or safety pin to help you keep track.
    5.)Watch Tutorials
    Watching video tutorials can be incredibly helpful when learning new techniques or troubleshooting problems.

Thanks for all the links 🔗 Love to see your business growing and how enthusiastic and excited you are about future Tammy. Disposable paint palette might be a nice alternative surface for you to use also. It stays clean and lint free and can easy be cleaned down even with acrylic paint. It light weight so good for a kit and if you really mess up a page you can remove that page and start fresh. It’s also sealed down on multiple edges so transporting and wear don’t impact the surface. 🐨💞🌸
