🌻Crochet Market Vlog 🌻 2 Markets in 1 Weekend!! 🌻 New Wind-Resistant Wagon Flower Display?? 🌻

Hello! I'm Tina, I run 'Made with April' with my dog, April! Thank you for watching my video and coming with me on a double-market weekend! The first market I attended was the Inglewood Night Market, and the second was the CutiesClub.ca Market! Both are located in Calgary AB!
I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for all your support on my videos lately - I have uploaded some items to my shop (including bobble flower pins and sprout hairclips) for both Canada-wide AND U.S. shipping!! It's my first time shipping outside of Canada so bear with me if I'm a little slow to get them out! I will be uploading bouquets soon (just about to ship off a test-package to a friend to see how it goes first!)
I have also uploaded the new Cosmos Flower pattern to my Etsy!
Leave a like if you enjoyed the video and don't forget to subscribe to follow my journey as I learn more about the market/craft fair world!

There’s nothing like watching your chill market videos to unwind after a long day. I also LOVE that you pan through the whole market, it feels like we’re on a FaceTime call and it’s so interesting to see what everyone brought! 🤣

[@madewithapril]

Hehehe I'm glad I like being able to give off that vibe 😌 thanks for shopping w me hehe

[@susanjones-szabo9595]

Love your videos and watching you learn to adjust your business to what you want. Your products are beautiful. Something I learned from teaching is that when you feel really frustrated by the kids’ behavior you might need to look again at what instructions they didn’t follow and see how to clarify or even completely change the task. Maybe more signs, a clearer path, find a way to simplify your tasks so that you can interact with more than one customer at a time and so on. And make sure you take snacks to avoid exhaustion and being “ hangry”. You’re doing great -it’s a learning process and life is never perfect so have fun!

[@madewithapril]

Most parents are also good at reminding their kids to be polite! It's only when they leave them to their own devices that I get a little awkward about how to correct them :S Thank you!!

[@b.c.2313]

HOLY WIND but ayy rocks are free! April is definitely employee of the month! Wish you nothing but fun and success!

[@madewithapril]

hahaha i know the wind was crazy!! Thank you so much, I will make sure to let April know about her new employee of the month status too hehe

[@ChantelleArts]

That’s a big market! 😮 really interesting to see everyone’s set up 😊

[@madewithapril]

It really was way bigger than I thought it was gonna be, walking around is one of my favourite parts! Different products have such different booths haha

[@viisaur]

I love your markets vlogs and seeing how you come up with ways to deal with things like crazy wind lol. Also I canNOT with April! She's so cute and the way she just looks up at you with her big eyes 😭

[@madewithapril]

Haha thank you so much!! I'm loving the new wagon thing - I might find a way to make it more organized and keep it for future markets!!

[@craftwizardsbyjane]

April is such a good girl. Love her so much. Lovely name card. Do share more of your videos of you at home too. It's very calming playing your working videos. Keep it up!

[@madewithapril]

Awww thank you!! I've been wanting to but not sure if people would click off haha thank you for the encouragement I will do so!!

[@avajohnson2251]

the wagon was genius! and it’s another opportunity for you to display your logo! i love it!!

[@madewithapril]

Ouuu I'll have to buy a smaller banner to use on it!!

[@laurgrace]

your setup is beautiful as always. loved seeing april going to a market with you, she is so cute 🤩

[@madewithapril]

Thank you so much!!

[@amikireicraftstore]

Oh the wind at Markets... I swear, I tape most things to my table and ad weights and all but still, I'm always on edge that my stuff will fly away!! And your display is SO beautiful! I'm currently crocheting carnations and they take so long and I'm half blind already, bless you for your patience on this beautiful craft ♡ I aspire to be more like you hahaha ♡

[@madewithapril]

Hahaha thank you so much!! Wind is definitely my least favourite market weather hazard right now haha It definitely takes practice!! Keep it up, the more you make the faster you get!

[@dueschen_]

Your dog is the cutest. 🥰😭 I would love to see more daily vlogs from you. 🫶🏻🌿🌸 greetings from germany.

[@madewithapril]

Aww thank you!! Hello Germany from Canada hahaha

[@rebeccapfeifer2376]

Tina. That wind setting up. Pass!! You handled it so well. When that happened to me I was near tears and told Mark I wanted to go home lol. 😭😭😭

[@madewithapril]

Hahaha it was definitely a doozy!!

[@rebeccapfeifer2376]

April is the Cutest ❤

[@madewithapril]

She says thank youuu

[@deep_agri_culture8695]

Hi mam your design your mind very beautiful very very thank you❤

[@madewithapril]

Thank you!!

[@aaknrbc]

Need sides on these stands. Get ya some velcro and some material and wala sides to block the wind out

[@madewithapril]

I was borrowing someone elses tent so I didn't bring any tent walls, but I definitely will be bringing my own next time!

[@ducktk]

i love your market videos so much! im a fellow crocheter but i don’t really watch market videos, yet there’s something so much different about yours! they never bore me and i love the gimmick of your shop SO much. pick your own bouquet is such an awesome idea

[@madewithapril]

Aww thank you so much!! It's my way of having my own flower shop without having to take care of flowers hahaha

[@KaydipityKrafts]

April looks so chill during the market. 😂 thanks for showing us your markets! How did it go with the floral wrapping?

[@madewithapril]

She was just napping for most of it hahaha thank you!! The wrapping was hard in tine wind but not too bad, just slow lol

[@priscillamarie1536]

Most markets here in Texas don’t allow vendors to share so my sister has to pay the all herself when she does big markets or cons

[@madewithapril]

Oh man that sucks :( it helps a lot when you're starting out to be able to split the cost, but it is what it is. It's interesting seeing what kinds of rules different states have!

[@SmM33380]

Bigger markets could mean less sales too only because there is far more for potential customers to spend their money on or even possibly to overwhelming for a potential customer.

[@madewithapril]

Ahh definitely true!!

[@DiaryofBloom]

How do you sign up for market? What is your process like?

[@madewithapril]

Hii! I talk about this in my Q&A video but essentially you just find the website for the market and fill it out! They'll tell you if you get accepted and then you pay a fee and you're in!

[@monselisa2236]

i love your business cards ! did you design them yourself ? :D

[@madewithapril]

Thank you! Yes, but the drawing is a commission I got from an artist in Vancouver! Her instagram is @j.enh

[@vidotter]

20:06 just another share - in the beginning I helped my partner with his art festivals plus alot of the admin and now I’m doing my thing and he abandoned his artistic pursuits long ago - he hardly helps me at all. Shows no interest other than to ask how much is my profit. So I hope this boyfriend of yours is just a shy guy - that he actually shows up to these stressful shows and supports you!! Don’t make the same mistake I did. Some people only get worse instead of giving you what you’ve been giving them.

[@madewithapril]

Haha thank you 🩷 i appreciate you reaching out about it! His shows and things are usually 3x as big as the ones that I go to and I never ask him for help, usually I prefer to ask my friends first hehe but thank you 🩷🩷

[@vidotter]

@@madewithapril girl you seem so sweet and kind hearted - you deserve the best - I have to remind myself that often too - thankfully I have amazing children that help me too 😊😅🥹

[@melsmith1316]

You should try those table cloths that stretch under the feet.

[@madewithapril]

I knoww I definitely need to invest in them, I've just bought so much display stuff over the past couple months that I'm really trying to cut down on spending ahhh

[@Noon-jt7gi]

I’m very late, but please consider a “spandex fitted table cloth” They’re pretty cheap, come in lots of colours, WINDPOOF! and people tug on them less. Machine washable. Some have higher backs to hide things under the table still, and it hides better. Then you can just have a smaller plaid/whatever interesting bit on the top I’ve seen people attach signs to the covers, but idk how I would do that

[@madewithapril]

I need to look for where I can buy the signs too, I've seen them around!

[@bettielynncampbell]

Danggggg maybe you are stretching yourself too thin. The attitude was all over this video 🥲

[@madewithapril]

Hahaha I think I am, I got a little over-ambitious with market sign ups and although stock wasn't necessarily an issue I was def super tired. Working on learning my limits!!

[@OhElvira]

What do organisers even do? Why would they put two crochet vendors in the same booth!?

[@madewithapril]

Hahaha I'm not sure they check exactly what everyone sells, they just look at the name ;;

[@gloriaturley324]

Your flowers are beautiful.

[@madewithapril]

Thank you so much 😊

[@phie_ahr]

At 22:39 April took her job reaaally seriously! Haha she is cute, she looks like she thinks "It's market time! I have to be 100% focused on sales" 🍪

[@madewithapril]

Hehe she made sure to alert me everytime a dog walked by 😅

[@Adriannakas]

I would have never gotten into crochet if not for the fact that I could make and possibly one day sell plants that don't die! Your products are amazing and I am so inspired by them!

[@madewithapril]

Haha thank you so much! I'm happy to be a source of inspo for you ✨️

[@SageHasTime]

Love your videos. You’re inspiring me to do a market next year. Gonna stock up and prepare😅. ❤❤❤❤

[@madewithapril]

You got this!! Good luck!!
