Cat Cake
США
Добавлен 5 янв 2024
I’m a SAHM who loves to crochet 🧶✨ I named my small business Cat Cake because that is how my baby says “cupcake” and it’s fun and silly just like the things I crochet 😄
I’m learning the ropes of running a small business and juggling raising a toddler while trying to finish whatever I currently have on the hook. While I still love making things for my baby or family, I am also trying to focus on having an inventory to bring to markets - which can be hard when you have a gremlin who constantly steals everything you make 😅
I’m here to learn, grow and get inspired by other creators out there 🌙✨

BOOOO we hate the sewer smell. omg the flies would drive me insane. sorry the event was crappy but so happy you're safe!!<3
We are missing you. will you be coming back anytime soon?
I like you Quinn.
I don’t plan on sharing on the internet any pattern, picture or video of my creations. I'm just doing this for my own entertainment. Characters, objects, clothes, bags. As much as I admire you guys for inspiring us, I've seen and heard of more than enough cases, and recently a talented designer gave up on crochet because her designs got stolen repeatedly (she sells clothes). Even when you wear your stuff outside, anyone working for the mass production industry could see it and get it copied. That's also where they get their "inspiration" from, watching what everyday people just living life wear. But it's still less likely to happen than on the internet 🤕
I don’t know how close you are to the fires but I hope you’re staying safe!!♥️♥️
I hope everything is ok? I miss seeing your videos and I hope Covid didn’t hit you too hard!! ❤️❤️
You are doing good, momma! I have felt all the things you talked about here and am much older now…I have grandbabies, now, but would like you to know that the messes that are made during market prep and your time away at the market are nothing to be ashamed of. You are doing a big thing for your mental health by getting away and doing something that you enjoy. The messes can easily be cleaned up and laundry will always be there anyway. Let yourself relax and enjoy some time for yourself!
New subscriber here I love your videos keep up the good work❤
I am new to this type of crochet, yet I admire the talent the designers share. I’ve recently been following many different designers and each one is amazing. I would have never thought to mass produce a design I did not create. As a home crocheter am I going to have to pay more for patterns because designers have to copyright or register their designs. Seriously could stifle the creative process and possibilities. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. You would have thought the notice they put on their patterns would have prevented this happening.
NOOO OMG the brown and yellow goat 🤎💛🤎💛 I LOVE IT
Unrelated but where did you get those gorgeous eyes for the snake!
I totally get where all of this gets confusing because it's a free pattern etc. Similarly I don't know how I would feel if it were one of my designs that popped up. How would I feel if it were another small business vs a corporate company etc, it all feels really messy.. There were definitely mistakes made but she is young and think she just got swept up in all the excitement of it with tiktoks going viral etc.. The good thing is at least it's not went any further! Maybe in the future there could be some sort of collaboration between designer and manufacturer or something? Who knows!
I'd like to hear from an Intellectual Property Lawyer their input on this topic
OK, so this is my opinion. But if this girl is continuously selling out at all her craft fairs then she's obviously already made a nice profit using this pattern. If she really wanted to, she could have approached the designer and told her how well she's done off off of this pattern and then proposed the idea about plusses and offered the designer some sort of payment to receive permission to go forward. To make that money from a free pattern and not try to be greatful and respectful is wild to me. At the very very least, credit the pattern creator!!
I don't know why everyone QR code works. Mine stop working after a while.
I has vendor experience but it was negative.
Aww, you look like a beautiful mermaid on the beach! 😍🧜♀️🌊 ❤️
There are so many factors that go into markets that it's hard to say *exactly* what will make a market successful. I vended at a gay market yesterday that had a FANTASTIC turn out, even though there was a HUGE annual event going on just 3 miles away, but I've had some markets that seemed like they would be very busy, but ended up being kind of a flop.
I think it would be so cute to make the frog in a color close to your mom’s birth stone and then the tadpoles in yours and your sibling’s birthstone colors
Tbf the manufactured duck is still handmade, just by someone being entirely underpaid for their labor in a country far enough away that she doesn’t have to think about them. It’s such a privilege to say “I can’t keep making these it’s too hard on my body so I’m going to outsource to someone who’s physicality doesn’t matter to me.”
I lost sound at about 14 minutes.
Great video! Thanks so much. I would love for you to do a part two including some of the wild buddies- elephant, tiger, hippo…😊
Summer markets can be really slow. We did a bunch of school markets last summer, and they did not do well for us. So we thought that they weren't good. This year, we weren't going to do any summer markets because we thought they wouldn't do well for us. We got invited by another vendor friend to do VancouverPrideFest this year, and it was awesome. I'm so happy we did it. But the fires for sure would reduce the attendance. Hopefully your next market will be better. ❤
the markets this year compared to last year are alot slower!! I had a market in Halifax a few weeks ago I made 0!! Not even a 5 dollar critter,,, loved your set up and love the gifts you got from Stacey !!
That's so weird that your walking mechanisms acted liked that. Mine still work but definitely don't walk in a straight line. I'm sorry about your bust of a market. You know I've been there done that. At least you made back your vendor fee unlike me! :( Those sand squirrels were so werid! I had no idea squirrels lived at the beach either!
It's definitely weird to mass produce something from a small business. I wonder if it's so inevitable now that small pattern makers would benefit from creating a licence that other small businesses can buy easily and then the designer can benefit and track it. It was something I'd seen done about 15 years back when i was sewing baby products. A lot of the pattern designers had licenses and communities that you could buy and be part of and then there were limits on the quantity you could produce for sale.
The yarn and stuff is weighing it down. The second walking thing was fine before you crocheted on it
Yes I think you’re right, it’s a cute idea but i don’t think I would make them again
East coast markets are not great either in the summer. Best to take that time and build inventory for the fall. The flies are driven away from the smoke concentration. Look forward to your next market.
If you don't already, make sure to promote your show! Tell your friends, family, and coworkers. You dont need to go on social media all day every day, but set up automatic posts. People want to support you, and there's a good chance the market wasn't well advertised. Your zebra was so cute too!
Automatic posts are such a good idea! I’m going to try to remember this advice for my next show, thank you!
Would you consider doing a tutorial on how to crochet counterclockwise? A pattern that uses eyelash yarn recommended crocheting counterclockwise and I don't quite understand how to do it.
Oh wow, I’ve never worked with eyelash yarn but I have heard people say for some fur yarns they look fluffier when you turn your work inside out, you could try flipping it inside out before you close it or before you get to any part that are BLO/FLO or have chain stitches, I always work with the opening of the plushie towards my hand and then flip side out so the opening is away from me when I need to do anything that is going to show on the outside.
Dad to hear about the fires 😞i used to live in Bakersfield and your beach looks a lot like Moro Bay, where we would go to escape the heat 🥵 enjoy your time!
I’m sorry your market was slow.. I’m telling you girl.. these summer markets ain’t it 🤣🤣🤣🤣 loveeee the mermaid. Also when you crochet right handed in my mind it would be easier because you don’t have to turn it right side out it’s just already like that. All the ends end up inside as you go. As always love your video 🫶🏽
I just can’t crochet as fast going the other way! My mind isn’t working enough to finish this comment but I appreciate you 😂
Shame about your market hun, I hope that the fire has been extinguished by now! Aww the mermaid is super cute 🥰 glad you survived the squirrel 😂😂 lovely gift from Stacy, what a sweetie she is ❤ x
The fire is still going, 425,000 acres now 😰 but hopefully out soon. Stacy is so sweet! Just like you!
@@CatCakeCrochet oh my goodness 😰 🤞 aww thank you lovely 🥰 x
No Fun with little kids shopping, I am 66, and most people our age are burned out on Kids, especially Our Husbands don’t want little kids running around destroying everything,
Oh my gosh, yes I get really embarrassed when my daughter is loud or destructive in a store. I try to keep her contained in the cart but I refuse to give her electronics to distract her so sometimes we sing or say silly things to keep her attention on us instead of throwing a fit
Your Dog is adorable, I Love dogs,
I literally just finished a Lisa Frank tiger tapestery that I turned into a pillow. Of coarse I wanted to share it because I wrote the pattern (first time ever doing so), had to start over (pattern and had to undo 30 rows). This was easily over 45/50 hours of work. I had someone ask if to let them know when I drop the pattern. At the end of the day I would love to but I am not interested in possibly getting sued for licensing infringement. It turned out so incredibly amazing. It is beautiful and I am so proud of it. I would love to sell a pattern if I could but I just don't have any interest in getting in trouble. What's the likelyhood of that happening? Someone like me a nobody with no following probably minimal. But not worth the risk and I certainly don't believe I can afford any licensing fees required to pay to a huge company.
A Lisa frank tiger tapestry pillow sounds amazing!! I understand how you feel about not selling the pattern and it’s a shame because I’m sure other people would love to create that for themselves
@@CatCakeCrochet better than I could've imagined!
