I'm enjoying all your tips. As another crochet business woman I have a tip for you. I don't know if it's something you have considered but... I buy polyfill in the 10 pound box from Walmart. I find it much cheaper and I don't run out! It does require a little extra room but I find it definitely worth it.

[@katrinawagner6842]

I just a great deal on polyfil a couple weeks ago and was trying to figure out how to store 20lb of it lol and remember that I had gotten poly fil from amazon that came vacuum sealed. So I just put it in some vacuum storage bags that I had and it takes up like a quarter of the space!

[@lindajeanhouse6443]

@@katrinawagner6842 I should have said, I do the same. I put it into small vacuum bags and store them under my desk. Thank you for sharing that!

[@camryns_cute_creations]

That is an interesting idea! I haven't seen that box at my Walmart, but I'll have to go find it and check it out! Thank you!

[@dmarketakis]

May you please do another challenge…and I would love to gave a video of you showing your setup how you place your camera and how you video yourself making the videos

[@camryns_cute_creations]

I will absolutely be doing more challenges in the future! They are one of the most fun things to do :) And I do plan on delving more into video production and other aspects of small business in the future! I'm not too sure when that'll be at the moment, but it is a direction I'd like to explore!

[@sagegraham6493]

As a full-time college student with a part-time job on top of selling my crochet work, I feel so incredibly seen by this video!! I love the tips you gave and can't wait to try them out soon :)

[@camryns_cute_creations]

Wow! I am so impressed by your ability to juggle so much! You have a very full plate! :)

[@phatcharinkamsert]

Hello from Thailand, I really like your smile your energy, I am a mother of 2 and so much have to be done a day. However I do do love crochet I always make time for it and finally my first items will be launched very soon. Just want to let you know that you are my inspiration.

[@camryns_cute_creations]

Thank you so much for the kind words ❤️ And thank you for sharing a bit about yourself! I think it's incredible that you're a mother of 2 and still are able to launch some items!! You are part of why I'm inspired and why I love this whole community ❤️❤️

[@SheriWhitfield]

I'd love to see you talk more about caring for our hands and wrists. You alluded to taking breaks, but do you do any special stretches or anything to help your hands?

[@camryns_cute_creations]

Totally! I can definitely share some of my favorite hand and wrist stretches:)

[@rebeccapfeifer2376]

Timely. Feeling so overwhelmed right now for my upcoming market. So much to do. 😔

[@camryns_cute_creations]

I feel overwhelmed for literally every single market every single time! 😂😂 So you are not alone! Never hesitate to reach out if you ever have any questions about prepping for a market!

Thank you!

A different crocheter uses the yarn scraps as stuffing along with poly fill, just a suggestion.

[@camryns_cute_creations]

I've thought about that! I might start stashing those scraps and give it a try!

[@NewDaySensoryShop]

I'm so excited for your market prep challenge I have 2 markets this September and I'm in a shop right now and I feel VERY understocked lol.

[@camryns_cute_creations]

Oh my gosh, do NOT worry, we'll make sure we're all stocked up!❤️

[@BIOHAZARDzz642]

Me too. I'm trying but just got finished doing 3 major baby Afghans!

[@camryns_cute_creations]

So cute! I'd love to see them sometime! ❤️

[@sandrasanders9290]

I love your shopping expedition. Who can resist yarn? I’ve made quite a few of your larger pumpkins, I’m looking forward to your next tutorial. I will have them at my fall markets. Fun to see so much of Alice in this video!

[@camryns_cute_creations]

I'm so glad you love the pumpkins!! And I'd love to seem some pictures of them at your next market!! :) And yes, as quiet as she was today, Alice is a total QUEEN and loves being on camera!❤️

[@camryns_cute_creations]

Yes!!! It's so amazing, isn't it??❤️

[@shelleygordon9666]

Thank you ❤ I love watching you videos and thanks so much for your tips. I am doing my first market at the end of the month, I am in Australia but I just made some new signs yesterday and your video was very inspirational. I used the chalk boards and used vinyl and my Cricut for the writing and I will use chalk for the price so I can change it I need too.

[@camryns_cute_creations]

That is so exciting!!! I would LOVE to see a picture of your setup when your market comes❤️❤️

[@belindaslomp1253]

This is a great video. I want an apple computer I like how you’re able to do that daily schedule

[@camryns_cute_creations]

Creating a daily schedule is such a huge thing for me! Personally, I like being that planned out, but I totally understand how others are more free-flow, like my husband who makes LITERALLY ZERO PLANS 😂😂😂😂

[@prosp3rity111]

@@camryns_cute_creations 😂😂 mine to. I make schedules but it seems like I can’t do a planned schedule.

[@heatherburkett5350]

I love all your videos and find them very helpful. Do you have a video on how to plan social media photos? It's such a pain to drag out my photography stuff all the time. I do have a place where I can just leave it up, either. Any help would be appreciated.

[@camryns_cute_creations]

I do not have a video on that yet, but I certainly do intend to make one sometime in the future! If you'd like, send me an email and I'd love to talk specifics with you!

[@kariallen6902]

What is the computer program you use to help with your time management? Another awesome video!! Thank you for sharing soo many helpful tips!

Can you share what books you have read🧶

[@camryns_cute_creations]

Totally! I love “atomic habits” that’s my current read! And also love “12 week year”!

[@juliebisson2643]

Have you some tips for doing crochet in the car or are you just a lucky one who juste can do it? Hahahaha

[@camryns_cute_creations]

Well my biggest tip is to find someone who can drive you everywhere😂😂😂 My husband prefers to drive, so I always get to ride passenger princess!! But in terms of the act of crocheting, I usually do simpler patterns that are easy to repeat and don't have long counts involved!

[@Cre8tivemshell]

Your energy! To be young again. Lol

[@camryns_cute_creations]

Age is just a feeling! ❤️ We just have to keep our energy up and time will have a hard time against us 💪
