[@Connie.the.Crocheter]

I’m also in Arizona and want to start doing markets. Did you figure out what permits or licenses you need and where to get them? I would appreciate your input on this. I’m so glad I found your channel. Love your crochet items.

[@Crochetwithcristina]

Thank you sooo much! ❤️ Yes it’s called a TPT License. You can apply for it at aztaxes.gov. I tried to do the online application but I did get a little confused. I am going to make an appointment to get it in person. Seems easier :) That’s the only license I need for crochet. Food vendors or people who sell fruits/veggies do need another one. Not sure what you’re selling but just wanted to add that in there. 😊

[@Connie.the.Crocheter]

I’m also a crocheter making plushies. Started crocheting during Covid and recently started making plushies.

[@georgiacorey954]

Vety cute makes. Im glad your market goes went well. But im curious where do you live, such as is it in a big city, a higher cost of living area? I ask because your prices sound a little bit higher than others in the U.S.

[@Crochetwithcristina]

Thanks sooo much! 🥰 I am in Arizona and cost of living is high. I price my items based on the time it takes to make plus materials. So it really depends on personal preference on how much you want to pay yourself. I hope that helps!

[@georgiacorey954]

@@Crochetwithcristinayw & ty for sharing. You are doing an awesome job in my opinion. Beautiful work & made sales. Absolutely correct. Plus you have to charge what the market will allow & going rates for the area. I know AZ is higher than Indiana, especially in city areas. I was thinking about relocating there for winter in my van & do PopUps if that's a thing in the West. Your location helps me see where I may want to travel. You got this. Time to double down on completed works with the years biggest Craft buying season fast approaching. Keep up the great work!

[@Crochetwithcristina]

@@georgiacorey954 thank you 🥰 I loveeeee Arizona! Especially in the winter. Not so much right now 🤣 115 degrees. I cannot wait for the fall and winter markets! I’m so curious to see how it goes. I’ll definitely post videos on how they go.

[@charleneweege7149]

That's good sales. What was your expenses? Was this market worth it?

[@Crochetwithcristina]

Thank you!! For my first market, I would say definitely worth it. It was a small market with a $30 booth fee. So definitely made my money back. I have a bigger one the end of this month that cost $225. So I’ll be posting how that one goes too!

[@charleneweege7149]

@@Crochetwithcristina Oh yes, $30 is cheap. Good luck with the $225. I will subscribed to your youtube and see how that one goes. Thanks for responding. Your work is really great.

@@charleneweege7149 that’s so kind, thank you so much! 🥰

[@ShantesTravelThings]

i had my first market the last week of February and i still haven't posted the video. i'm up to like 16 now. how can i be as productive as you.😩😭

[@Crochetwithcristina]

It’s a lot of hard work! I don’t blame you for procrastinating. Lol One of the hardest parts is learning to edit videos and get used to the software. Once you get going though, you really get the the hang of it! I use Adobe Rush for the video editing and Canva to make the thumbnails. 😊 You got this!! 🙌🏻

[@ShantesTravelThings]

@Crochetwithcristina oh editing the videos isn't the hard part. I have another channel where I posted my travel video for like 3 years. It's just after I'm done making product all day. The last thing I wanna do is make myself pretty, get in front of a camera, and be cheery. I be exhausted hunch over on my sewing all day. I guess I could alternate days. One on the machine and one for video editing.

[@rachelnoggle1239]

I’m in az as well, where are you finding info on where\how to sign up for them if you don’t mind sharing. I’d love to do one someday. 😃

[@Crochetwithcristina]

Hi Rachel! Yes of course! 😊 So I joined a Facebook group called Arizona Events for Vendors. There’s lots of different events that are posted in there that provide information on signing up. That’s where I have found all my events. 😊

[@rachelnoggle1239]

@@Crochetwithcristina Thanks for the info. Wouldn't it be fun to do an AZ crochet get together? I'd love it if some planny person pulled that together. :D

[@Crochetwithcristina]

@@rachelnoggle1239 YES I am so down!! Maybe we can do a zoom get together first and then plan a meet up somewhere! 😊 I’ll start mentioning that in my videos and see if other AZ peeps are interested 🥰

[@amys5087]

The chicken didn't sell? I thought they were big sellers!

[@Crochetwithcristina]

The chickens got sooo much attention, but no buyers! I was confused by that as well! We will see at the next market though. Maybe it was just an off day :)

Did you have to apply for a general business license in you state

[@Crochetwithcristina]

I didn’t have to, but I chose to for my business. :)

[@kialou9351]

Do you know if California need’s permit?

[@Crochetwithcristina]

Hmmm I’m not sure. California is typically pretty strict so I bet it does! I have noticed smaller markets don’t typically require one but big ones too. I definitely recommend looking into it :)

[@jennamakesbugs]

Just a little note here... Pinterest only catalogs things on the internet. They don't design anything. Please give credit to the actual pattern designer.

[@Crochetwithcristina]

Yes for sure! I don’t take any credit for the patterns, and I always link straight to the designers web page. 😊 I just say where I found the pattern, as Pinterest ones are the free ones I find. Thank you!
