My FIRST market of the year ✨ Crochet market prep 💗

[@mdkrieger]

Thanks for the video!! Love your entrepreneurial spirit ❤

[@deeavila3153]

Congrats on your return and successful market for 2025. I am so sorry about your beautiful plushies; I know you will get them clean and lovely again. I understand how Florida weather can be, I live about 2 hours from you and know how it can change from one moment to another. Good Luck with your continued markets...I wish you great success. Much Love and hugs to you. Your little sister is so adorable. ☺💕

I'm so sorry to hear about your plushies! I would have cried😭 Glad to hear it still ended up going well. I totally was like 👈 when I heard my name. it felt like the Spiderman meme where they're all pointing🤣

[@kalynndfregia3349]

Dawn power wash is your bestie for any stains I swear it got red dye out of white plushies! And I did a quick rinse on it and clipped it up on a pants hanger and good to go!

[@aparlinproject]

Make the flamingo. It gets easier and faster I promise. You're in Florida, girl!!!! I sell them all the time at $17

[@UniqueAndPersonalised]

You go girl! Not everything will go 100% to plan but you still put yourself out there. I love watching your channel. You have inspired me to do my own. I haven't seen any other New Zealand crocheters on KZbin... but I'm willing to out myself out there and am hoping for the best. Any tips would be appreciated ❤

[@StitchesGonnaStitch]

What a bummer about those plushies. I work for a cleaning chemicals company so I'll test out the product I think might work for those for you. Glad you had a great weekend overall though! Still enjoying my "vanilla" chonky bun 💜 ~ Holly

[@GARRY-n8z]

I am so sorry about what happened to some of your plushies in the rain and wind. I hope you might be able to clean them! I love your videos and you are 100% my favorite crochet channel! Wishing you the best! ❤❤

[@vfranz0162]

I’m sorry about the big plushies! But you are so inspiring! You are making me want to design my own Scooby Doo character patterns because that is my favorite cartoon of all time! ❤

[@nathleyjohnson3597]

That happened to me once put them separately in a laundry bag or pillow case and put them i the washing machine and then the dryer

[@TheTopKnotchCrochet]

Your Aura bunny pattern is so cute! If I were to give one thought - have you tried to use pink acrylic/cotton yarn for their noses instead of chenille? It may help make it look more like a nose and less like a mouth/lips? Absolutely adorable either way

[@Janski06]

Sorry for your plushies getting wet/dirty but pleased for your successful market. Seeing your confidence grow was awesome. Your animate plushies patterns are great (my daughter loves them, sorry for misspelling) 🥳💕

[@haylis.handmade]

A few of my customers have said that they put their plushies in a pillow case to wash them so the eyes don’t get scratched. I’ve never tried it, but it works for them!

[@TheTypicalWeirdo]

I've thoroughly enjoyed your videos, they're definitely something I look forward to :) I loved all the Demon Slayer and Naruto characters that you've made and overall your videos make me smile

[@lisarobinson1149]

You could do indoor markets during the summer. I have started doing the cons and they are so much fun.

[@SweetBeansCrochet]

Yes I definitely plan on as many as I can before the hot months 🥰! I will definitely search for indoor events during the summer 🤞🏻

[@debbieward-crochet]

So sorry that your plushies took a fall and got dirty. 😢 Hopefully it is just on the surface and will come clean for you. It is good to see you again. I always enjoy your videos.

[@UmmasCrochet]

I think niche products could sell well right along with the generic items because even though fewer people would recognize what it is exactly, those few are reeeeally appreciative of that item since it’s harder to find things like that out and about! So heartbreaking to see those special plushies get dirty 😩😭 hopefully they can be restored 🫂

[@Crafting_With_Laura_x]

Perfect timing! I’m online for a new video!! Hey from England 😊💜 xxx

[@lauralaines3546]

Try washing them on a gentle cycle and a low tumble dry 😊

[@angelahayes2601]

I woukd put hay in the bunny basket so it will lift up the bunnies to see them better. Plus, it will be super cute!

[@SweetBeansCrochet]

Love that idea!! Cute, perfect for the season, and functional!

[@jackieschneider7354]

Congrats on your successful market! So nice to see you succeed. Too bad about wind knocking down the stand with your larger items, that would be so disappointing. Let’s hope you can clean them.

[@SweetBeansCrochet]

Thank youuu! And yes working on cleaning them now ! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

[@hilarymurphy9077]

Oh no! I'm so sorry about the plushies getting wet and dirty. You should be able to handwash them with some mild detergent and Oxiclean, or you can tie them in a pillowcase and put them through a gentle cycle in the washing machine. I've washed things mad in Bernat Blanket in the washer with no issue, but haven't tested Sweet Snuggles Lite yet

[@Viney_maple]

ahhh sorry about your big plushies but glad you still had a successful and fun time!

[@mayhong5065]

❤❤❤

[@StellaAay]

I would put the plushies inside of nylons, wash with a light detergent baking soda mix on delicate, and dry in the nylons on delicate as well. This has worked for me and has protected my safety eyes. Test with a plushie that is less important to see your results. Only do this if your washing machine does not have an agitator in the center. Good luck. So sorry this happened to you!

[@merissagraham3502]

Can you share link for the mini milks pattern ? I looked in google doc but couldn’t find it

[@merissagraham3502]

Where did you get the book shelves from ?

[@jackieoleman3972]

I'm not seeing the dachshund pattern, I am really interested in the pattern please

[@angelicaesquivel2315]

Who crated the rat pattern? I couldnt find it on the link. Hopefully you were able to save your big plushies!

[@SweetBeansCrochet]

Here is the rat pattern! I love it 🥰 www.etsy.com/listing/1754821397/?ref=share_ios_native_treatment and thank you! I’m definitely working on it!

[@iijellydog]

That really stinks about the show pieces getting ruined 😣 I’m happy to hear the rest of the show went well though! Anime is definitely a lot more popular these days, especially demon slayer, so those things can sell well!

[@DoYouEvenCrochet]

I think people are looking for loaf cats.

[@Maple_Creations]

That is so sad😢 I would cry if that many plushies got ruined like that💔

[@SweetBeansCrochet]

I was very concerned, currently working on cleaning them 🤞🏻🤞🏻🥹
