Completely random, but so cute

Hello fellow strangers and besties!!!So, I had to come on here and tell all of you a few things. I have a few things that I just want to tell to fellow crocheters!<3

I had a market
So a little while back I had a festival that i was selling at, and I was super excited about it!! This market was literally across the street from my Grammy’s house, so we were able to sleep over and get up and walk to work, lol! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:This market has always been an annually thing that I have gone to as a kid. And it was always super busy and fun! So, this year I was super excited to complete the dream of actually selling at this festival. (Me and my brother shared a booth area, but had two separate booths.)
And between 2 DAYS, I only sold around $150 and my poor brother sold nothing! (It was his birthday too!:sob:)The booth fee was $40 and so many booths around us barely sold anything or just enough to pay for the booth and the trip there. I was literally so sad from this, but it’s ok.
Honestly i think what is bothering me the most it that the prices of just gas and food these days are crazy, so who wants to go to a festival and spend money on useless stuff..
Overall though, I had a great time! I got 3 drinks of Boba!:rofl: My brother and I are super close so we made lots of jokes and laughs! And my best friend literally drove an hour to see me and the festival for a little while!:sob::sparkling_heart: Love her so much, thank you for making my day! I think these memories is what matters most!

I’ve inspired kids to crochet
When i started crochet, i never thought that i would be good. But not only have i made patterns, amazing (i think…) crochet plushies, made crochet connects, I have also inspired little kids to want to crochet!:grin:
Guys! like… WHAT!? they are so cute tho!
The one kid is a little girl from my church and she is already making little tomato creatures! She literally came up to me one day and said “I want to be just like you!”:face_holding_back_tears: I’m so proud! She had come to a school vendor event that i was at and she completely fell in love with crochet!
My little sister is absolutely so interested in crochet too. (I don’t think she has the attention spanned for it, lol, but it’s so cute)
The other little kid is this little boy from my school/church also. He is also like family to me now because of other events (events that have happened me). The other day he literally asked me to help him crochet, and by the end he made a beautiful blob with beautiful stitches!:sparkles: and he ended up giving it to me!:grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Anyways! just wanted to rant about a few good things that have happened in my life. Thanks for reading if you did!

At small craft fair, $150 is not bad. Unless you have higher priced items, most don’t make more than that.
