    Let me just say, I crochet and I love watching your videos - you are lovely, and I love listening to your videos while a crochet. Plushies aren't part of my market inventory, but none the less you get me pumped about trying new patterns and building the inventory! Keep doing what you're doing Mama! ❤

      THANK YOU!!! I’m trying a few non-plush items for Christmas gifts! It’s a totally different challenge, but I love it! Would love to know if you have any favorite makes! Thank you so much!

    Let the organization know that happened and how you figured it out! It hurts them more than it hurt you even!

    I’m sorry that happened to you 😢 Report it the police. I almost got scammed too on FB. What you create is art and it’s beautiful! Never doubt yourself! You are an inspiration to me🥰

    I love listening to you! I have about 6 shopping carts with yarn, can’t afford to buy them but I feel sort of good by at least pretending I can get it!! Your work is amazing, I know the confidence issue. I’ve started making my second long form video for my UA-cam channel about 4 times now and keep stopping. My anxiety keeps taking over. Still sitting here wanting to do it, but just not getting there.

      I watched yours, and it was great! I really wish I lived closer, cause I would have snatched up several of them! Sorry for the late reply, so some reason youtube held this comment back until I approved it 🤷🏻‍♀️
      Please make more, I love love LOVE binging crochet content!!

    I have been doing markets and fairs for 3 years now and I still feel insecure the whole time I am getting ready and while I am there. I know I can do it but it's so so intimidating!! I know your going to be amazing in your adventures I know you sent the checks in but lady no more holding out!!!!

    SAME almost exact thing happened to me! And strangely enough if was a local school craft fair too! And also, I knew as well that as soon as I sent the payment something was wrong, I contacted the real organizers of the event, sent them a message on Facebook immediately and they didn’t respond for 2 weeks, we should start a support group

    • @YarnandWhimsyDesigns
      @YarnandWhimsyDesigns  Рік тому +2

      Oh no! I’m so sorry it happened to you too. The scammers are everywhere!! They don’t mess around. Ugh! Same with my show, they weren’t answering emails or tending to their Facebook page at all, which definitely doesn’t help 😢

    I am so sorry you got scammed and I hope this helps other people. Please watch this video back 3 times and listen to the words that you said while they don't penetrate my ears They should penetrate yours, everything you make is incredible and it has a home with somebody. You are an artist

    Yarn in carts online that you're trying to talk yourself into/out of buying.... TOO RELATABLE 🤣 Mail your dang checks in!!! I did my first market in June, I've done about 7 of them now! I have 34 upcoming that are paid and confirmed, and apps in to about 4 more! Imposter syndrome is real real real! But positive feedback helps so much! I reeeeeeeeeeeeeeally want to start making youtube vids because I feel like it would be so fun, but that is where I am hung up at! Anywho, sorry for blabbing. OH! Congrats on 500 subs!!!

    • @YarnandWhimsyDesigns
      @YarnandWhimsyDesigns  Рік тому +1

      Wow! 7 since June? You’re on fire! I’m so impressed. I can’t even fathom 34 😱

    • @YarnandWhimsyDesigns
      @YarnandWhimsyDesigns  Рік тому +1

      Thanks so much, 500 just happened this morning. CRAZY!

    Hey, don't be embarrassed about being scammed!! Yours sounded legit! I honestly would've done the same thing!! Let me tell you, I was scammed about a year ago, a real BIG scam and lost, not hundreds but thousands of dollars..😭😭😭😠😠 I still feel sick about it. These people know what they're doing! You're not stupid!! They played on my emotions too.. just learn from it and then move on as quickly as you can! 😊❤❤❤
    Good luck with your markets!!! I'm crocheting my first amigurumi ball as I watch this..❤
