Heyyy guys! I thought it would be fun to show my market prep progress. I had an AMAZING market last Saturday, and my big holiday market is in 18 days. It’s a two day market, and my inventory is pretty wiped out. Every day I’ll share what I’ve made the day before, and my goal for the today.
This was yesterday’s progress!
Not much, but I’m not expecting to make a ton of things on weekdays. My goal for today is to make some keychains/$5-$7 items. Let’s go!
Patterns used:
