At one of the first markets that I had these cute little chicks, one of my customers called them "chicken nuggets" 🤣 and I don't think I will ever not call them that in my head now!

But seriously, these cute little Mini Mabels in their nest are consistently one of my best sellers!

What color is your favorite?

You can read all about the Mabel chickens on my blog.

I love the witty little messages on these cute coffee cups! There are so many great puns!

I've been working on these guys on repeat for my absolute favorite coffee shop! Swipe to the end to see who they are!

Llama - but make it Christmas!

I get so many requests at craft shows for specific animals I haven't made before. I always say, "I don't have one here, but I can make it for you!" And then I give them my card.

Unfortunately I rarely have people follow up with custom requests, but this little llama is proof that it does sometimes happen!

I'm so excited for this little cutie to go to its new home. I made sure to use Christmas colors for its little shawl too :)

How often do you have people follow up with custom requests from shows? What has been your most interesting request so far?? Let me know in the comments!

🫟 Throwback Thursday🫟

While my business is a huge part of my life, right now it is my second job. I work full time as a high school math teacher. One of the common things teachers are tasked with is reflection.

I have learned that reflecting on my business is just as important as it is in the classroom. I've made a big shift over the past few years from working with worsted weight acrylic yarn to almost completely blanket yarn. I have started making more crowd favorites and fewer specialty items. Most importantly, I have really improved my branding and displays!

I'm so thankful for how much I have learned from this community and how it has helped me grow. Looking back on photos like these help me see my changes and also reminisce on my journey.

I may just be sentimental, but I think a few of these designs may need to make a comeback. (Just not that booth set up, lol)

How have you changed during your business journey?

🎪✨ Three must-haves for your craft market display!

🎪✨ Three must-haves for your craft market display!

1️⃣ Varying Heights: Add visual interest by using risers, crates, or shelves. Different heights draw the eye and make your setup feel full and inviting.

2️⃣ Clear Pricing: Don’t make your customers guess! Clearly visible prices make shopping easier and help you sell more. 💸

3️⃣ Strong Branding: Make sure your booth reflects you! Use consistent colors, logos, and signage so shoppers remember your business long after the market. 💕

These small details make a big difference in how your display stands out and attracts customers!
