MARKET DAY VLOG AT THE LAKOTA EAST ARTS AND CRAFTS SHOW / SMALL BUSINESS LIFE

[@lisarobinson1149]

I love watching you and your mom. Me and my mom used to do things together. I miss those times.

[@thecozybuckeye]

Thank you! I appreciate you saying that. My mom is the best!

[@tracymbk67]

I just live watching you and your mom. You guys remind me of me and my and my daughter. We do everything together. I have only done one market so far. But looking forward to doing more. Enjoy your your day. ❤

[@thecozybuckeye]

That's awesome! How was your first market!? I hope you have a great day too!

[@tracymbk67]

@thecozybuckeye it went really well. My daughter had stuff in it as well. Jewelry and tie dye. So, it's not the same stuff. We are looking for more places to go. 😀

[@thecozybuckeye]

@@tracymbk67 I’m so happy you had a good experience and are ready for more!

[@tashathomas7912]

It was such a pleasure meeting you at this show, look forward to seeing you next year.

[@simplyjesslynn]

This is right ny my house a was so exciting to watch. I just did Reading High School no where near as big as Lakota. I really hope to get into that one next year. I did not apply this year. I just started my website and have posted a couple of KZbin shorts. I did not apply to Milford either and wish I would have, It's sp awesome to watch someone locally. My new years resolution is to get my KZbin channel up and going and get over the fear. I just started my website. I do have at least 2 more markets the rest of the year. Thank you for posting these!!!

[@olivetom]

I can never get enough of your vlogs and so I'm always sad at the end of each one. Wish they could be even longer. I thoroughly enjoy each one, especially when you're with your mama at the markets . Waiting eagerly for the next one.

[@thecozybuckeye]

I’m so glad you enjoy them, thank you for watching and hanging out with me! ❤️

[@MystLily]

It’s interesting seeing the different setups in small places, most of mine are indoors 6x6 sites and always try to get a corner spot, I liked your Sunday setup because I like to be comfortable behind my stall. I like how you try and gain a bit more space wherever you setup and those grid walls are wonderful

[@thecozybuckeye]

My set up is forever evolving depending on how much product I have. I do like the grid walls too. They look very professional. I sure do hope I can get a bigger spot next year though. Thank you so much for your comment and watching. Have a great day!

[@sew4funoz]

Thanks for taking us along to Market with you. 🙂 I thoroughly enjoyed watching.

[@thecozybuckeye]

Thank you for coming along and spending it with me!

[@mamadotscreations]

You inspire me to put more into my craft. I hope to retire in the next few years and crochet full time. You give me hope that it is possible!!

[@thecozybuckeye]

I am so glad you found inspiration in this video! Keep chasing your dreams!

[@CrochetEhCanada]

Your poor mom looked exhausted by Sunday poop thing. I love your mom, she is so sweet. I really miss my mom.It would have been wonderful to be able to do shows with her.

[@thecozybuckeye]

Mom loves doing the shows with me and I love having her with me. We are bff’s.

[@ASquareGranny]

Always love your vlogs, girlfriend! Thank you for sharing with us! Hugs to Mom, too. Xx 🧡

[@thecozybuckeye]

@@ASquareGranny Thank you! I would love to schedule a time to chat if you are up to it sometime after the holidays!

[@freckledbrunettecreations]

Sounds like it was a great weekend and your set up looked great!!

[@thecozybuckeye]

It was such a fun time!

[@sandragrasdock6377]

Great job April and Mom! Looking forward to seeing the ceramics ❤

[@thecozybuckeye]

Thank you! We had such a fun day. I’ll be sure you to show you what she paints me this year, lol!

[@JOSWEBCROCHET]

Hi April! New here... I enjoyed watching your vlog... How blessed are you to have wonderful memories with your precious momma! ... 🤗💖

[@thecozybuckeye]

Thanks for subbing! I appreciate your kind words and I’m glad to have you here!! Welcome!

[@Beeknottycrochet]

You two are the cutest 😍 congratulations on such a great market ❤

[@thecozybuckeye]

Awe! You are so sweet! Have a great week!

[@Janski06]

Excellent sales, your mum is so lovely 🥳💕x

[@thecozybuckeye]

Thank you!! 😊

[@beckyhalfhill3552]

It was so awesome meeting the two of you! Your stuff is awesome in person and I can't wait to see my sweet great grandbaby in her unicorn hat!

[@thecozybuckeye]

@@beckyhalfhill3552 It was great to meet you too! Thank you for stopping by.

[@brdxracer]

I love how you were able to maximize your space. I recently had to downsize from a 10x10 to an 8x8 space. Losing those two feet all the way around is hard!

[@thecozybuckeye]

The display is forever changing, LOL. Small spaces are so hard.

[@ladydii-ce4br]

You work so hard, glad you had a good market!

[@thecozybuckeye]

It was such a fun market and I appreciate you watching!

[@SecretWindowBoutique]

I love your market blogs - even if I am envious of the great markets you have!! I have been doing markets every weekend and have 2 this coming weekend and then one after that and that will be it until January. Thank heavens! Your mom is so awesome! I do shows with m y daughter. She has her booth next to me. We both do the same things you do. She's better than me but we have so much fun together. I'm trying to get her to do KZbin with me! Hugs to Raj!! xo

[@thecozybuckeye]

It’s a blessing to work with my mom. Love that you have your daughter to enjoy this amazing craft with!

[@nishamontgomery2364]

Great show … I love your mama she is so beautiful … reminds me of my grandma rose and it’s so special seeing how close you are ❤

[@thecozybuckeye]

I’m pretty fond of her myself. She’s perfect! Thank you for your comment!

[@sk13507]

Congratulations on your sales, your products look amazing. Your space does look a bit tight, but you made it work!

[@thecozybuckeye]

Thank you so much! I appreciate your support. The space is forever changing.

[@kimthecraftynomad]

I guessed $2500. Congrats on your show! Bravo!

[@thecozybuckeye]

@@kimthecraftynomad Thank you for playing along and for your support as always!

[@HoofnIt03]

You and your Mom warm my heart! Great market! ❤🎉

[@thecozybuckeye]

@@HoofnIt03You are so sweet! Thank you!

[@gloriaturley324]

Loved your show.

[@thecozybuckeye]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@mdp3827]

Love that you seem so much brighter from the start of this vlog. Also loved while talking about the skunk you said it was ‘stinking’ cute lol don’t think you even realised lol it looked so busy! So glad for you. It did make me nervous leaving your phone on the table. Sadly in the uk that should have been stolen. Glad our American cousins still have morals! Like most of us. Xx

[@thecozybuckeye]

Yes, October was really tough this year. I was a bit overwhelmed to say the least. It has been like that for me for years around this time of year. It is the nature of the beast. I probably should be more careful with my phone. People steal here too. You just never know. I'm so thankful for your comment and for you! Have a great week.

[@mdp3827]

@ have a great week lovely lady xx

[@thecozybuckeye]

@@mdp3827 Thank you dear!

[@Pocketsnuggies]

Can I ask how many stitches around you do on the body of your snake and how long you typically do them? Thanks. Love seeing you and your mom together. 🥰

[@thecozybuckeye]

It’s a pattern I found on Pinterest. The photo is of a peach and blue snake. I follow the pattern except for the body I do hdc instead of sc. It’s 8 stitches around for the body. I have a link on one of my videos.

[@Ohio_Memory_Bears]

Congratulations on your sales! Your booth looks great❤

[@thecozybuckeye]

Thank you! I had a great time!

[@debbieward-crochet]

I love watching your market vlogs. I hope you get the bigger space! Good luck! 😊

[@thecozybuckeye]

Thank you! I'm so hopeful for a bigger space next year.

[@sewwebbofyarn9602]

Very interesting to watch all these! You said you wrote a loaf cat pattern? Where do I find that? Thanks Shawna

[@thecozybuckeye]

Thank you so much! I plan on writing the beginning of next year. I have so many pattern designs. So stay tuned.

[@BostonBorn]

I sell those hatching chicks 🐣 for $20 and have sold out twice. People just love them!

[@thecozybuckeye]

That's good to know! They are popular here too. I love when I can find something that sells well!

[@moweelimeyoutube]

Thanks for another great video, April. Totally *heart* the chicken keychain. Are you able to share the creator? :) Very interested in purchasing. Gracias!

[@thecozybuckeye]

@@moweelimeyoutube Hello! Thank you! It’s the Mama Mabel chicken and baby from Oak & Marlow!

[@Gigis_Enchanted_Creations]

Wonderful video! I love watching you and your mama. I have Tara's turtle pattern, and it's always a best seller for me. What yarn do you use for yours? I really like that size.

[@thecozybuckeye]

Thank you so much for watching. This pattern is great for a sea turtle. I use Big Twist Plush for the body and Cover Story Dreamland for the shell. It works really well together.

[@lindasakseide282]

As always it is so cozy to follow you and your mom at the market. Of course it is cozy, - it´s in your name hehe... 😀. I love that you mix Santa with Snowman, - I also do that regularly hihi... Ok, - let me guess... I guess you made 3248 dollars. But... as you start to tell us about everything you sold, I want to raise my guess to 4700 dollars 🙂. Ok, ok, I was way off, - I should have stuck with my first number hehe... LOVE your vlog...

[@thecozybuckeye]

LOL, my brain malfunctions sometimes. Thank you for always supporting me Linda. You are amazing! I hope things are going well for you. When is your next market?

[@HoofnIt03]

Ha ha! Bloopers! 😂

[@thecozybuckeye]

@@HoofnIt03 Lol, I try!

[@HB-kr9uv]

I absolutely love your loaf cat!! Do you have a pattern available for it like on your etsy or anything?

[@thecozybuckeye]

I will be working on patterns in the beginning of next year so stay tuned.

[@HB-kr9uv]

@@thecozybuckeye oh awesome!! Thank you!!

[@Pocketsnuggies]

Do you just freehand your small chickens I like that size or do you use a pattern? Thank you. Congrats on your sales! 🎉

[@thecozybuckeye]

the pattern is by Oak & Marlow. It’s the mini chicken with the mom chicken.

[@Pocketsnuggies]

@ oh thanks! I’ve done that one. Didn’t realize it was the same! Thanks!

[@GinaMoorhead]

What pattern do you use for your snakes? I love the tongue!

[@thecozybuckeye]

@@GinaMoorhead I use a pattern from Pinterest. It’s a peach and blue snake, except I hdc the body instead of sc. I added the tongue.

[@evaempress]

As for the price of your things... Every region is different, goods cost different, markets cost different etc. Know your audience, know your costs, and know your worth! And then add tax.

[@thecozybuckeye]

@@evaempress Pricing is always tricky. It’s like a science experiment or like doing a study trying to figure out what the market or customers are willing to pay. Thank you for your comment.

[@krystasimmons8611]

You sell your hats for $48 EACH?

[@thecozybuckeye]

@@krystasimmons8611 Some of them yes ma’am. They are very detailed and the quality is top notch from 12 years of experience making them. They do all vary in price, but most Small, Medium and Large hats are in the $40’s. I sell a few hats on Etsy for $88.

[@krystasimmons8611]

@@thecozybuckeye holy moly I knew they were lots of work but never knew people would buy them for that price. Kudos to you for that !

[@krystasimmons8611]

Make some chicken nuggets maybe?

[@thecozybuckeye]

@@krystasimmons8611 I have those on my list!
