I feel like you have such a big heart and I genuinely enjoy watching your long videos! Thank you for opening up and sharing your life. As a new crocheter I have a question regarding making “characters” that are licensed for example such as Mickey Mouse or Elsa stuff? Is there a chance you could get in trouble for making licensed products without their permission? Or can you buy the rights to make certain characters or something? I wasn’t sure how this would work with crochet because we are taking some creative licensing here and I’m sure the line is very blurred…but I have some requests to make Bluey plushies for people after I made one for my kids and I’m a bit worried about selling them especially online. Would appreciate any input you have on this since you’ve been in this business for 12 years!!

My Momma heart aches for you this week (both my human mom heart and my dog/cat mom heart)! I work at a university in Wisconsin (NOT the one in Madison :-P) and regularly help with move-in day so I've seen first-hand how emotional moving your child into college can be. I'm just a few years away from that moment myself and I'm dreading it! I use Square for my own inventory but it definitely takes discipline to keep it updated. I've tried to make it my rule that once I tag it, it goes into my Square inventory. I'm far from perfect in the process but all we can do is our best, right? This late summer/fall time is so busy for all of us as small crochet business owners. Helps to think that we're in this together. You've got this! 💪💕

This was a great video! Thanks for sharing with us. Wishing your daughter and Mr. Max a great collge year. We adopted a Persian who had also been a college kitty. Same for your son, so good to have a great momma. Suggestion on inventory: make stickers for your bins with dates to mark when you’ve inventoried. That way you know which are done and when was last time you reviewed contents. I would avoid sticky notes, they can fall off. Match sticker coding to your notes. For example, Girls Small = GS. I’m a data person, analyst in fact, so I would suggest a spreadsheet, but also understand if you’re more comfortable with manual notes. 💛 Good to see your Mom join, too!

WOW!! So many hats!!! And you sure kept your mom busy :) I miss vending with my daughter, and we've pretty much never lived more thn 5 miles apart, give or take, in all her 39 years. But she moved half way cross the country 2 years ago (and since then has blessed me with my first granddaugfhter, after being blessed with 2 grandsons) Neither one of us can afford to visit each other, so it's been hard on both of us. But SOMEDAY I will be (hopefully) be moving there also, and we can start vending again together. It's a joy to see others like yourself, that can have your mom (or in some cases a daughter) helping in your business! Oh! I also like seeing end of video Bloopers! We're all human after all :)

Hi April! Say you need to have your daughter watch max if he's not eating or drinking water. You need to bring him back home. Especially if he's never been away from home before. My son took his dog to his apartment after college. And he wouldn't eat or drink because he was so home sick. And he was 8 yrs old. Just a heads up.
@lindasakseide282

WOW, April... THAT is A LOT of HATS, - oh my goodness... Not only that you have to finish 130, - how many were already finished? There must have been hundreds, right? I felt the stress that you talked about, while looking at all of the work. It is amazing that you (with your mom) have made that many over the years AND many, many more of course, - since you already have sold a whole bunch. Between the stress I felt yesterday with all my problems editing my video when everything "fell apart" and the stress watching all of your hats, I think I may have gotten an ulcer. I'm just joking of course, but I kind of feel soooo tired from yesterday, puh... That being said, - I love all of these hats, - especially I think I must be a real owl-lady, because I love them so much. It may of course be since I made two of them myself hehe... I also love the collaboration you have with your much, - that must be precious, and how nice that you can talk to your son in the car. I think many parents find it difficult to find the arenas to really talk to their kids, and it is so important. And then... your cat, - your precious cat leaving you. Having to let go of two of your "children" at the same time, and without a notice for the second one, - puh... I guess it takes a toll on you. Well, - good luck, and relax and think about that your daughter will do her best to take care of your cat ❤ And with the speed that you have completing the unfinished hats, you'll be done in no time, - a couple of weeks at the most, I guess.

Hi April! You are an inspiration to me. I don't do markets nor do I have an Etsy shop, but I'm making as many plushies as I can between now and December for charitable donations. Sometimes I feel stressed about it, but overall I love making these cute animals and dolls. I really enjoyed seeing how you and your Mom worked together. You're very fortunate to have a mom who can help you. Say hi to her for me. I live in the metro Atlanta area and have lived here almost all my life - 75 years! Good luck on all your makes. They're all so cute!

My name is LeeAnnah ... only just picked Crochet back up after giving up on it due to using old Crochet hooks that don't have a good handle. I am loving the Clover brand! Game changer for sure. I love working with yarn period and full stop. It makes me feel close to the Grandmother that I lost too soon when I was only 3 years old. I also love to knit and only began Amigurumi back in 2020.

I checked out your Etsy shop also, and I have your Mickey & Minnie hat patterns and made them several years ago. So happy that I've found another great crochet channel to watch.
