[@ChantelleArts]

you did amazing! I'd get so overwhelmed in a huge con like that 😮

[@madewithapril]

Safe to say I was def overwhelmed 😅 I always get so scatterbrained!

[@lezliesmith3354]

I was so happy to buy flowers from you! I stopped by Thursday and got 2 sunflowers, 2 lavender, and violets. My bestie loved the sunflower and lavender I gifted her

[@madewithapril]

Ahhh I'm so glad!! Thank you so much for stopping by!!

[@RoxanneLee-l7t]

Oh my goodness! Yay! I honestly thought you were another creator, but you were incredibly sweet and definitely loved to support. :D Your energy lights up the room. I love my Totoro keychain. :3

[@kimethaturner152]

Everything in your booth is so pretty!

[@madewithapril]

Thank youuu

I completely agree when it comes to the whole becoming a big streamer, big KZbinr, big small business. The whole blowing up on social media is really just a luck, timing and memeability or relatability to a degree. Like when a Wendy’s blew up on twitter no brand had done that before and it, they became and still are a huge meme that people love, now they have the SpongeBob meal. Also crochet flowers are really popular, lovely and last a long time. Have you thought of adding a spritz of a matching fragrance or essential oil to them? I’ve seen some people asking about that to other vendors we do events with that sell these.

Fab vlog, as usual, love travelling with you and your friends! I am sorting all my patterns today in one copybook. Flowers and micro crochet earrings!

[@Heidi2003]

Yay. I love crocheting to your vlogs. Thank you for a long one

[@madewithapril]

haha I'm glad!! thank you for watching!

[@joestoppable]

This whole vlog gave me some interesting ideas for the future.

[@joestoppable]

@@madewithapril you’ll see eventually. There are some parts that I want to figure out to make sure it doesn’t create too much work. When you do. You’re gonna carry that weight.

[@codeimagine]

I love making stuff too, I enjoy crochet but I also love making other things like baking, sewing, and art. I also like making things via programming. I consider myself a creator, even though I do none of it for monetary gains at all. There is so much joy when you made something exactly how you want and its so much fun. I would like to sell stuff eventually, but my anxiety gets in my way sometimes.

[@aimigoyeng3761]

my boyfriend and I love to watch ur vlogs, it's so entertaining and cute hehe. It's a dream of mine to open a market like u, u inspire me so much. 🥺 I'm currently working on my crochet flowers to open my first pop-up booth! Wish me luck Tina! 💌

[@madewithapril]

Ahh I'm honored to be able to inspire you!! I hope the pop up goes well, good luck!!

This is such an amazing vlog!! I have been admiring your flowers that you crochet and you have really inspired me to create different projects like this. I really hope you continue this!! I hope i can sell crochet items like this in the future! 💕 Have you made a day in a life vid of you crocheting flowers? That would be really cool :)

[@madewithapril]

ahh thank you so much!! I appreciate it :) I used to make some studio vlogs where I show my process on camera, but since I've been wanting to prevent design theft recently I haven't made many! I might try and make one for some of the more common/free patterns I have!

Why does everyone in the group is good looking? Claudia literally looks like a Kpop idol omg, I'm jelly. (not really she looks way to good lol)

HAHA I told her and I think she's blushing 🎀✨️

[@kaivee3929]

I can't even imagine how frustrating it must have felt to hear that people were pretending they were you, when you work so hard to do what you do. Please always share your feelings and frustrations about drop-shipping and the unethical practices of places like Temu. If we all keep discussing it, eventually the news will spread.

[@madewithapril]

Luckily I didn't find out about that part until after the convention was over, I would have been so discouraged if I knew it was going on during the con 😭

[@kaivee3929]

@@madewithapril it’s just so unacceptable 😭 your work is beautiful and speaks for itself! I hope you never experience that again or at the very least that vendor isn’t allowed back at the con

[@SoulberryApothecary]

Wow...The facility should have warned the patrons about the heavy theft so they'd be on guard for pick pockets.

[@diansango2042]

whos the fool who dares messes with Julia!!

[@madewithapril]

IDK BUT IF WE EVER FINDIN HIM WE THROWIN HANDSS

[@shaunawhyte6422]

What thickness of yarn do you use? Could they be made with a #4 weight yarn?

[@sandieshim-roman5801]

Have you tried using large magnetic to hang up your displays to your shelves? Cost savings decrease in time setup

[@madewithapril]

I've tried little magnets and they didn't hold well, idk why I didn't just think to use larger ones 😂 I'll have to buy some!!

[@shaunawhyte6422]

Have you given any thought of attending the Canada Women’s Expo here in Kamloops? If you’d like further information just let me know. There’s also some coming up in Vancouver, Calgary etc.

[@dayL660]

Omg why would they say they’re you as you work so hard to crochet flowers. That much theft is alarming. Keep doing what you do as you’re so talented.

[@chear_bear101]

I gotta know what camera this is😭

It's the DJI Osmo pocket 3!!

[@jackieschneider7354]

Too bad about drop shippers😞.

😭🩷 they were ruuuude

[@beeasybylb]

The situation with crochet resellers is so frustrating. It’s on the level of AI art. So idk why con’s don’t pay attention to it.

[@camillakhau3170]

36:00 is a friend of mine! She and her partner Will have amazing fighting game and other gaming art stuff that's cool that you met each other 😊 I was not at fan expo this year, but I remember commenting on an expo video by grabbing a friend to help you assisting your booth, and I'm glad that it worked out for you. I'm glad to see that in the next cons you are doing better. Hopefully I'll be able to meet again next time.

[@madewithapril]

Meeting up with people at cons is always my favoueite part!! Hehe thank you!!
