Your plushies are cute, and as far as “deals” go, do what feels right to you. I’ve taken less for an item before just because I love the smiles on the face of the children afterwards. That’s what makes it worth it to me. Your set up was great, not over crowded and very inviting. I wish you luck on all of your future markets❤
Wait youre a mom? That is so inspiring! I have a baby too and i crochet during his sleep time, at the car on my way to anywhere, at work during lunch break etc. When people ask why do you crochet all the time i say its better than excessive screen time. Eeeps!
Omigosh I am so glad your video came up on my home page! I’m in awe of how many items you made and everything looks so good! Your baby is so precious! I’m jealous of the dark pink Bernat, I’ve never seen that color in person. I love that you painted the stand, everything looks so colorful yet cohesive. And YESSS thrifting! I wouldn’t have been able to say no to the dad either, I don’t think shopper realize how inconsiderate it is to ask for a discount on a handmade item. I’m glad you guys were okay with the tornados! Girl, I totally relate to mommy brain, if you’ve seen my videos you know about my bouquet bags!! I don’t have any helpful advice for you 😂😂😂 but hopefully we can grow together and learn how to do this successfully. So proud of you, thank you for posting ❤
My mom does craft shows, basically markets, and I see that there’s a ton of stuff others sell. If you have someone with you, go let them advertise for you, just make a sign, and make them stand with the sign in the middle of everything (not whenever you get finished setting up, they may get hit by a car 😔) but about an hour into it. Go to markets frequently, you may run into people that watch your videos if you’re a UA-camr, you may run into people that previously purchased from you. It’s fun to go to shows, but when they’re in the summer, that really sucks 😭
I just learned just learned how to crochet a week ago tomorrow and im so proud of myself actually because before i couldnt crochet a chain i still cant crotchet plushiee sadly i really want to but yeah so ive always liked the thought of crochet while watching frofhet videos and its lowkey kinda fun and just cane across your chanel and subscribed!
Love all of your crochet goodies!!! And I totally relate to the toddler crochet life 😅 it's a grind! But I think you're doing amazing!! Great inspiration 🥰
Your editing is so good! Also your setup looked great 🥰 My advice is don’t give up on it. You win some & you lose some with markets because they’re always a gamble. I had one market where you could just tell people felt some kind of way about the prices and then half way through I had ONE person buy ALL of my big items. Don’t sell yourself short, your art is wonderful & you deserve to be paid what it’s worth. Glad to have found your channel! I’ll be following along 🥰💚
Hi from England 🏴 , ur 1st is always scary and you will find what sells and don’t sell as each market is different , keep ur booth simple and prices clear , we always stay till the end unless told otherwise as you can make more sales and if people pack up before the time the event loses customers as they see a time it’s set to end and if stalls are gone or packing away they may not come in or come back and everyone looses out xx Good luck for ur next one , I personally love doing them and school events are so much fun and sell loads more too xx💕
A little tip from someone who a) does long distance running and b) overheats quite easily, for outdoor events invest in a neck fans while it's not the most powerful thing to keep you cool, at least it's to have some air flowing instead of stagnant. Also, I personally, like to use Skratch electrolyte powders (they have caffeinated versions if you're into that too) but this way you get in those electrolytes! Finally, if all else fails, invest in single use ice packs used in emergencies (are these the most eco-friendly, no but I'd rather not pass out than anything else). Hope these help!
Hello!! Fellow crocheter here! I’ve been watching a lot of market videos even though I’ve never done a market and don’t even sell my crochet hahaha I’m glad you made back your booth fee. I’m sure the next one will be even better. Great job! 🫶🏽
Great video and your items are adorable !! All markets are so different and you just never know. I have done about 5-6 now and the first one is definitely the most work because you have to invest in your set up and figure out your layout, but it gets easier each time. Looking forward to future videos ! ❤
I am just starting my crochet journey and I love watching these videos. I don’t have plans on selling at markets, so I live vicariously through these videos 😂 can you do a “how many crochet plushies can I make before my baby wakes up from a nap” video? I feel like that would be fun and different!
yay another fellow fayetteville crafter ! yes you should definitely try out a market ! there's a facebook page called "nwa craft vendors wanted" if you're not already a part of it you should join it and see what events work best for you! best of wishes 💓
it's actually my daughters name xochitl (pronounced so-chee) it's an aztec word meaning flower 🌸 it's unique and i'm proud of my culture so i decided to name my channel / shop that 😊

Hello glad i found other youtuber from Arkansas. I'm from Alma
so cool i love meeting other arkansans 😊❤️

oooh that's a good idea and i'm up for the challenge 😅😏
your plushies are so cute
thank you 💓
I am also a toddler mom and I basically only crochet while she is sleeping! It definitely limits how much you can make
i totally agree that's why i'm glad i had a couple months to prepare it really helped me build a little "inventory" 😄
I’m doing my first market in June!
omgg good luck!!
When you said you live in NWA my ears perked up lol. I live in Fayetteville! I've been thinking about doing markets recently so I found your video.
yay another fellow fayetteville crafter ! yes you should definitely try out a market ! there's a facebook page called "nwa craft vendors wanted" if you're not already a part of it you should join it and see what events work best for you! best of wishes 💓
@@xochitlmochicrochet Thank you so much! I'll definitely check it out.
Lol Never ask a guy! Awesome job!
What's the inspiration behind the channel name? 😊
it's actually my daughters name xochitl (pronounced so-chee) it's an aztec word meaning flower 🌸 it's unique and i'm proud of my culture so i decided to name my channel / shop that 😊
@@xochitlmochicrochet that's so beautiful ❤️❤️ love that!!
How long did it take to make all your plushies
about 2 months 😁
What about preventing theft
Excellent video and well done on your market 🎉 you have inspired me to get my UA-cam channel up and running ❤ I’ve followed your instagram too ☺️
