Bailey, you're such an inspiring person to me. I learned a lot from you, even when in Germany a lot things are way more complicated. This year I will have 10 craft fairs. I'm so excited! Love your videos, cant't wait to see more.

[@googoogoods]

Thank you so much! That's so great I am so excited for you!! Hugs from across the ocean

Loved this I started doing craft fairs before the pandemic then there was a 3 year break in wa state and started again last Oct. I ma(e coasters and dog bandana that I sew.

[@seng9670]

Omg!! What’s crazy is that we started at the same time and watched the same person 😅 MegAnn. I was doing the vinyl and sublimation for awhile but now started doing crochet. Good luck to you love watching your videos!

[@googoogoods]

@terrypellam2863 I hope your craft fairs have been going well!! It's probably been tricky getting back into it so I hope the transition back has been going smoothly!

[@googoogoods]

@seng9670 She's very inspirational lol! I would like to get into doing crochet but I have too many hobbies already lol. Thank you so much!!

[@ginab.4605]

Thank you for sharing your story. I started my business last October. I work full time so I’m not able to throw myself 100% into it as of yet. I signed up for my first craft show at the end of this month and have another one in May. I love how shows are easily available. I am also setting up in Shopify, which I’m having trouble completing actually lol. Your videos are very inspirational. Best of luck in the future 😊

[@googoogoods]

That's so exciting you'll have to keep me posted on how the craft show goes! You are also inspiring to me because it would be extremely difficult to work full time and then also do your small business work! I do take care of my kids all day but at least they nap lol. Shopify can definitely be really tricky, I got my theme off Etsy and that's made it a little bit easier for me for sure! Good luck to you too & thanks for being here :)

[@SprinklySparklyGifts]

[@googoogoods]

Thank you so much, I truly appreciate your kindness!!

[@CatCakeCrochet]

Great video! The timeline is so neat to see and it’s so cool to see how you and the business have evolved over time. I’m so excited to see what 2024 brings you!

[@googoogoods]

Thank you so much!! 2024 is going to be my year for sure!!

[@sonyapeaks]

Thanks for sharing. Maybe in future videos you could share why you don't want to rely on markets. Is it the profit margins/labor/personal or are you building income streams? Are you youtube monetized and what are your thoughts on that? BTW, I'm from KY and lived in Lexington for many years. 😊

[@googoogoods]

I will definitely share in my next weekly prep vlog! It's mostly related to profit/time commitment. I want to be able to do more online sales so that having a bad market doesn't have such a large impact. I'm planning on doing a video about a year monetized on KZbin when the year mark comes up but that's quite a while from now lol. I would do a year on KZbin in review but now that's past so I'm in a weird time limbo in regards to that lol. How fun! We lived really close to Brannon Crossing, my husband worked in Lexington Green and when I worked in the lab that was over in Hamburg. I loved living there, I loved our house! I love our house now but we had a huge finished basement and garage gym. But I also just romanticize that time because it was pre kids and I miss the freedom lol!
