Market prep 🛍️ thoughts 💭 update #5

Hello beautiful people :sparkles::two_hearts: I hope your having a wonderful day! Today I did a mock-up of my booth to see what else I needed to make!

This week I really didn’t crochet very much but I did make the blue and pink dragons :face_with_hand_over_mouth:I think their so cute! I took a break from crochet for a couple days and today I’m starting back up again! I’m going to make loaf cats! :grinning_cat:

I still need to crochet snakes, loaf cats, and more axolotls and a couple of ghosts and dino nuggets :sparkles: I want to do more fall and Halloween items but I don’t really know what to make :woman_shrugging: I’ll probably make a couple pumpkins oh and I need to make all the $2 items to go in the baskets! And I’m going to order more decor and baskets for my booth :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

I want to crochet more fall and Halloween :jack_o_lantern: items but I’m not quite sure what yet :thinking: I’m probably going to make pumpkins and something else but idk :woman_shrugging:

My market is still a month away but I’m really excited :laughing: but it is a lot of work :face_exhaling:I’m really happy I took a break :smiling_face: remember to not over work yourself! :sparkles:

I love everything you’ve made so far! It all looks SO good! :heart_eyes::pink_heart::pink_heart: Those dragons are gonna sell quick, I’m sure. Might wanna make a few more of them . . . :smirking_face::grin: (Purple ones are always popular for some reason. :joy:) Pumpkins are a must! I think that would be adorable!

You should try making some of these adorable little dachshunds! They’re super easy and quick, (they take me like an hour and a half or so, maybe a teeny bit longer,) they only require a little bit of sewing, and they’re really popular!

Oh! And you should make some chickens! People go crazy for those. :laughing::rofl:

Good luck with the rest of your preparations and crocheting! I can’t wait to see what your completed table looks like all filled and decorated! :sparkling_heart:

SO awesome! I really hope your market goes well. I would recommend making lots of small items so kids can just grab em. I have a lot of patterns in my shop too.

Awesome, good luck at your market. Do you have any suggestions for patterns for the less expensive items($5 or less) to sell at markets, I am looking for ideas. Thanks.

I have been making pouches for D&D dice, using patterns off YouTube, such as this eyeball bag, which was really easy and worked up fast.

There are all kinds of cute and easy pouch patterns, which can be used for a variety of things.

Here are a few other examples of YouTube pouch tutorials:
