[@siamese35]

Do any of the eyes pull out since the yarn isn’t a solid fabric?

[@ypr525]

Awesome 🤩 👏🏻 you are such a positive force and inspiration. ❤❤❤

[@katiebeingcreative]

Aw thank you so much!! 🥰❤️

[@LynnStarofDestinyKreations]

Hurray for Katie's Parents!!! That is so nice they are able to help you out. I have done markets all by myself for years. It's a lot of work. Nice job with the set up. I can't wait to find out the items sold. Yes do market vlogs. It is so cool to see everyone's ideas. Especially the table cloth.. are they fitted. I seen you put the sheets under the legs of the table. Genius! Tysm for sharing! ❤️💖❤️💖

[@laurent3415]

It's a stretchy tablecloth designed for that type of folding table. I wish I had those for my tables because regular ones always flutter in the wind.

[@LynnStarofDestinyKreations]

@@laurent3415 ty already found it and hearted it. Everything she uses is on the description. 💖💖💖💖

[@katiebeingcreative]

Glad you found the table covers! And yes it’s so nice of them to help out! I was super busy at some points so it was nice to have extra eyes watching over my stuff while I talked to customers! And I can’t wait to share more market vlogs in the future!! 🥰❤️

[@LynnStarofDestinyKreations]

@@katiebeingcreative Me too! I am at the library to see your next vid. :) 🥰🥰🥰

[@MeezerGurlMakes]

Your booth likes nice - the crane machine was a great display idea!

[@katiebeingcreative]

Thank you very much!!

[@heatherjurado3840]

That was really fun to watch. I'd love to take items to market someday, but I'm just beginning. I love the claw machine idea 💖

[@katiebeingcreative]

Thank you so much!! The fancy displays are fun of course but not needed and it's definitely best to invest in those as you go and just focus on having the basics when you're beginning!

[@brookolson2194]

What kind of table cloths do you use? Those look awesome!

[@katiebeingcreative]

They are awesome! I just updated the description on this video and pretty much everything from my setup is now linked! :)

[@jennivy2182]

Thanks for this video. I like your idea for the pricing sign. I am a stained glass artist looking to do craft fairs and I think the pricing sign will be a great idea to help others understand why my art is so expensive. Thanks again and good luck in your future endeavors.

[@katiebeingcreative]

Thank you very much! Same to you! 🥰

[@katiegadsden3811]

I love your setup!!! ❤

[@katiebeingcreative]

Thank you!! 🥰❤️

[@Jenisparkles]

Hi Katie! I am new to your channel and am so happy I found your channel!! 😊 I am a bit older than you and for a very long time have dreamed of having my own business selling my crochet and handmade jewelry but have always thought I wouldn't be successful at it so why bother...my family and friends would see some of my creations and always tell me I should go for it but again still no confidence or know how on where to even begin. Since watching your channel and seeing how young you are and how you started your own crochet business, I have reconsidered the thought of creating my own little shop. I have been watching alot of your videos and honestly they have inspired me to follow my heart and I just wanted to say thank you for all that you do and thank you for giving me the courage to get started on owning my own crochet and jewelry shop. ❤

[@katiebeingcreative]

Aw I love hearing that!! Thank you so much for sharing! I’m so glad I’ve inspired you and I wish you the best of luck with starting up your business! 🥰❤️

[@nicelifewitheun]

such a wonderful family! :)

[@katiebeingcreative]

Aw thank you! 🥰

[@krystaperry8186]

I LOVE this whole series, prep, day of and can't wait for the follow up! I'd love to see these more often!

[@katiebeingcreative]

So glad to hear you’re enjoying these videos! I’m planning to continue making them for my future markets! For right now I’m planning to do markets every other month but I’m hoping I’ll be able to start doing them more frequently towards the end of the year :)

[@crystalgem25gillum27]

Absolutely love your channel, it is so much fun watching you! I love to crochet, but I don't think I'd have the patience to make such adorable little animals, I make purses and handmade beaded jewelry. I'm hoping to get into stuffed animals later on once I figure out how to do that. I'm so happy for you having such an awesome day selling at your fair. Hope you continue to do wonderful ❤

[@katiebeingcreative]

Aw thank you so much!! That’s so sweet! So glad you’re enjoying my channel! 🥰❤️

[@annsmith4541]

Hi Katie loved seeing the market set up u did so well x

[@katiebeingcreative]

Thank you so much!! ❤

[@acraftyseason1007]

Definitely interested in the new signs. What a great idea

[@katiebeingcreative]

Thank you so much!! I’ll be working on adding those to my Etsy! :)

[@nemomichanek1254]

Please do put the signs on Etsy! Would love to buy some :)

[@katiebeingcreative]

I’ll be working on getting those on my Etsy soon! :)

[@grammy279]

Hey girl, you worked hard. So glad you sold a lot. Love your plushies.

[@katiebeingcreative]

Thank you so much! 🥰

[@StrawberryBonnieCrochet]

Thank you for sharing your experience! The signs are great. I would definitely purchase them. ❤

[@katiebeingcreative]

Of course, thank you for watching! I will be adding those signs to my shop soon 🥰

[@jada891]

These are so super cute! I attend craft fairs as a vendor as well and I always love seeing little crochet plushies! You have so much talent!

[@katiebeingcreative]

Thank you so much that is so sweet!! 🥰❤️

[@soniaansford82]

You did another good video, keep it up

[@katiebeingcreative]

Thank you so much!!

[@trustedgoldens]

Thanks!

[@Stephanie.922]

Hello Katie. You have the most beautiful plushies I've seen 🥰 Your creativity is amazing. I don't use etsy much, but would love to support you. Do any of your patterns come with small video clips? I can't read a pattern, and sometimes-many times I even have trouble following some video tutorials 🙈 Do you sell any plushies on etsy? My adult children wanted a whale and octopus I made my grandson 😳 The whale wasn't good. Your creations and variety, are just unbelievable If anyone questions your pricing, they have no idea about crochet, or the cost of yarn. Don't ever take it to heart. Most don't understand unless they crochet. So proud of you! God bless you 🙏❤️

[@Stephanie.922]

Sorry so long up there. I forgot to ask if you can please link the safety eyes you use, if they are on Amazon. Having a hard time finding large eyes with good reviews ❤️

[@katiebeingcreative]

Thank you so much!! I do have some video tutorials here on my channel but my Etsy patterns are just written ones. My patterns are also available on Ribblr and if you haven't checked out their platform I think it is great because they have tutorials included so you refer to those for how to do each technique and it's also a great way to learn how to read patterns! I'm so business with markets right now that I don't sell any plushies online but I do hope to so one day! And for safety eyes I have them included in videos where I'm crocheting in the materials list! :)

[@JelscreationsNmore]

I haven't started yet but wanting to start my own business yes please can you make all the signs you have and then let us know when there up. Thanks again

[@katiebeingcreative]

I will start working on that soon and I'll be sure to mention when they're available!

[@sabrinagalvez707]

Would you mind sharing the size of your tent and tables? I also do markets but I can barely fit 2 tables in a 10x10 space! Love your set up!

[@katiebeingcreative]

Thank you very much! The tent is a 10x10 and I have two 4ft and two 6ft tables. My exact tables are all from Home Depot, but I have some very similar ones on Amazon linked in the description of this video as well! The set up was a little cramped with the way I had the tables but I’m planning to try out some other setups for my next events :)

[@nancyrichwine1355]

I just found your channel and I love it! I’m curious about your table covers. Did you make those? They are so nice the way they fit!

[@katiebeingcreative]

So glad you’re enjoying my channel! I got them on Amazon, they’re linked in the description of this video :)

[@monpetitchoucrochet]

I'm a little late to this video but hopefully you still read comments! I had a question. Do you let people take pictures of your stuff if they ask? I always feel awkward about it because I feel like they are trying to copy me or something, but it also feels rude saying no...

[@katiebeingcreative]

If you’re uncomfortable with people taking pictures of your work telling them no isn’t rude in my opinion, it’s yours. I personally don’t mind because majority of people don’t know how to crochet so I don’t look at it as they are trying to copy something I’ve made. Most people will be like “wait let me send this to my friend they’d love it” and I just like to look at it as new potential customers but you need to do whatever you feel comfortable with 🥰

[@megscozycritters]

Hoping to be this good at amigurumi one day! love watching these videos :)

[@katiebeingcreative]

So glad to hear you enjoy my videos! It takes time and practice but you’ll get there 🥰

[@saliafluffers7942]

Hey, I just wanted to ask where do you usually set up shops? Like are these at farmers markets?

[@katiebeingcreative]

Hi! It's a pop up market! So pretty similar to farmers markets, they just normally have all kinds of businesses and from my experiences farmers markets are a little bit smaller but I'm sure that depends on the specific event!

[@karajancreations]

Love it! Thank you for sharing with us. I'm very curious to know how your claw machine did. Did you get many people playing it? Was it a big hit?

[@katiebeingcreative]

Of course! And it wasn’t as big of a hit as I thought actually! I go into a lot more detail in Monday’s video but I think it gained a lot of people’s attention and they walked into my booth because of it but only a handful of people actually played

[@LittleCrochetKingdom]

I hope this doesn’t offend but try not using baskets try using wood crates because baskets always remind people of bargain pins (well it does me) and makes things seem cheap. ❤

[@MyaMarieBoutique]

This helps allot, thx 🙏

[@katiebeingcreative]

You're welcome! Glad it helped!

[@misselphie78]

Do you use original patterns for your keychains? If not, where do you find them?

[@katiebeingcreative]

Some of the patterns are my own and some are by other people, you can find them all linked in the description on this short I shared: kzbin.infoaEVeauEwyYY?feature=share and they will all also be shared in Monday’s video! :)

[@mikkiberger]

How big was your booth space and tent? 10x10?

[@katiebeingcreative]

Yes it is 10 by 10 :)

[@ardinaal]

where do you find and rent these markets?

[@victoriaann3392]

Can't wait for Monday! Do you notice an increase in pattern sales after your markets?

[@katiebeingcreative]

This is the first and only market so far where I’ve had the sign about my patterns and I didn’t notice an increase in sales but I think I did get a few extra shop favorites so hopefully those will lead to extra sales! :)

[@candacen136]

Great vlog, is this a 10x10 tent

[@katiebeingcreative]

Thank you! Yes, it is 10 by 10 :)

[@guidasilva5615]

Hello I watch all your videos. Love them. Could you please show me better that claw machine? I am from Portugal.

[@katiebeingcreative]

So glad to hear you enjoy my videos! I unfortunately didn’t get any footage of the claw machine this time but I plan to film that at my next event and include it in a video like this one! 🥰

[@PeachiiMxcha]

❤❤❤ love your videos and your so talented all the stuff you crochet is amazing ❤🎉 I just started crocheting and I’m making a blanket I’m almost half way through and I did have a question! :) for pricing the crocheted plushie how do you price off time? You might have said this before, I am a newer viewer ❤❤❤ keep up the amazing work!!!❤️❤️❤️

[@katiebeingcreative]

Thank you so much!! So glad to hear you enjoy my videos! I have this video where I mention how to price items: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqrSpIail9appas hope it helps 🥰❤️

[@PeachiiMxcha]

@@katiebeingcreative ok thank you! ❤️❤️❤️

[@katiebeingcreative]
