The lore with cardinals in America is that it represents the spirit of a loved one who's passed on. These are all wonderful! Can't wait for your follow up video!
We have the same thing here in England but with robins. My sister lost a good friend very suddenly & she always said if she was going to come back she’d come back to visit as a robin. We went to put some flowers on her grave & there on the plot was a robin!! Spooky.
My parents have so many Cardinals and Bluejays in their backyard. My great grandma’s favorite animal was a cardinal, I was too young to really remember her when she passed away, but she was my moms best friend
“Where did you get that?” “That guy over there with giant stall of plushies” 😂😂😂 love the sticker idea the sticker gun is also such a great idea didn’t even think of that might use it for my next market 👍🏼
I love the sticker idea, but I would put it on the bags as well. Not everyone wants to walk around wearing a sticker, but they could still advertise for you! It's smart! I love it!
Hearing you ask if people know what a cardinal is so funny to me. I live in Kentucky and one of the main colleges here has the cardinal as a mascot so I see it everywhere 😅 I use to have a hoodie with its logo and so many sports people would stop me asking about the latest game
Baked cookie 😂❤ Corn when it matures it grows tastles. That's the yellow brown hairy stuff you see sticking out the top before you husk the ear of corn (peel back green leaves)😊❤ OK and can't say enough how I love those Itty bitty birdie booties 😂❤
@@crochetmezaddy Any time🤗❤ I live in Iowa amoung farmers. And for ppl that have no idea they got a healthy sense of humor... When the fields were being fertilized caught one flying a poop emoji flag on his tractor pulling tanks. 🐄💩😂💖
Just found your channel and the birds are so cute I had to pause the video and go buy the patterns! I've actually been looking for a cute pigeon pattern, they're one of my favorite birds so I can't wait to make it!
I've been following you on ig but this is the first youtube video I watched of yours and absolutely loved it! The birds were so cute I had to buy the pattern immediately. I also had no idea you were Australian and that Australia with all it's animals doesn't have some of the birds we do lol. I'm so used to seeing cardinals all the time I can't wait to make it from the pattern
I am dying over here, waiting for part 2 AND the instructions on how to build the displays. I know you said you will share later, but geeze, you get us all excited and then make us wait😂. just bought the Itty bitty birds pattern to work on for my giant show in Sept! I really enjoy your videos and appreciate the enthusiasm. it is really helping me stay positive for this massive show. thanks friend!
Hahaha I felt bad being like “here’s how I made them RIGHT AT THE END” but like, this is how they were made and I think if a carpenter friend saw this vid, then they could work it out 😅 Also thank you so much! I would love to hear how the birds go at the market (not announced yet but they did really well at mine)
@@wendif6378 I’ll do this as a video soon but essentially I don’t colour change before starting a bobble stitch. I will have my main body colour still on my hook, and then start using the new colour through the main portion of the stitch. I will then use the body colour again when doing that final pull through all the loops on my hook 💜
I'm just getting into crochet so fingers crossed I can make your patterns. I do markets too and whatever I love and am sure others will love too can be the worst! No way to tell between markets. I'm in the US
I’m so impressed, just getting thru where you’re showing all of the keychains you have and these patterns are absolutely adorable I’m about to buy all the patterns as soon as I can because these look so unique and detailed and I’m just shook rn I’m so in love with all the birdies and super duper mini food keychains.
damn i'm always so impressed by the amount of plushies ppl can make for a market, i failed my goal by quite a bit lol ☠️ still inspiring & cool to see, good luck with the market!! 😊
Ohhh I should mention that most of the larger buddies were made over the past year! All the bag charms, chunky pals and Pokemon were made in the lead up to this one!
I love your baphomet pattern. Sadly, where I am in the US, it would scare people away if I tried to sell them at a market, and they wouldn't walk away quietly
They haven't been released yet! It's just the Itty Bitty Birdies at the moment and then the Itty Bitty Kitties coming out this Friday - everything will be listed on my website www.crochetmezaddy.com
Love all your plushies. Hope the market went well I'm a fellow Victorian and I am wanting to know where do your get your yarn from for them. Online or from a local store?
@@janiesmithling4518 this is requested so much and I’m honestly not sure! Just because dog breeds vary in body shape so much, it’s hard to figure out what would work for a dog shape 😅
I was thinking the same- if I priced my stuff this high where I am, I'd not sell a single thing! Lol I don't sell myself short, but you have to find that happy spot between what you're willing to sell for and what people are willing to pay!
Do you have any tips on how to crochet faster? It takes me 12 hours or so just to make a bandana because it's so hard to quickly crochet when I have to take the time to get the hook in the stitch.
im sorry, idk if i just missed it, but where is the itty bitty veggies pattern from? i was casually listening while i got ready for a presentation so i mightve just been distracted
Where do you get your plushy yarn from! Im a crocheter from NZ and i struggle to find affordable plushy yarn unless i spend large amounts on shipping and order out of country :(
Not yet! I’ve currently asked for my patreon to vote for the next pattern! But it’s definitely coming soon! - just releasing a griffin and medusa next!
I am curious if your prices for plushies is the norm in Australia? Here in Canada we would not get the equivalent of $26.98 ($29.95 Aud) for a keychain. All your crochet items are very cute and I notice in some you used finer yarn which means more rows, more stitches so more time/work. Can’t wait to see part 2.
@@jackieschneider7354 Hello! I think with my situation, there isn't as many people doing the same thing as I am in the area so I'm a bit of a rarity so I can stand out a bit more with my product and not have any price comparisons. There was another seller at the market selling more detailed dolls for much cheaper than me, but I have a feeling they were unethically sourced which I will talk about in the next video. Even in saying that, I'm not willing to sacrifice my prices to simply sell the product. It's more about selling for sustainability rather than selling to sell out, if that makes sense. TO be honest, with a lot of these I probably should've raised the prices!
@@crochetmezaddy, I am in a very small city and we get pigeonholed in our pricing. Your creations are really very high quality looking especially as I had mentioned you sometimes use thinner yarn. I don’t see any gaps with stuffing showing. I think you are an amazing creator. And I am glad you get what you are worth! My adult son said to me not to lower prices just to sell. If someone wants it they will pay for what it is worth. 🥰
@@fatfatcat21 I was tempted but if I made them bigger then the whole plushie looked a bit off 😅 BUT you can definitely shorten the tail and call it a hamster 😅
Omgg i fat-fingered the thumbs down button and didn’t realize for like 3 minutes I’m so sorry!!🥲💔 Anyways, I just wanted to say THANK YOU 🙌 on behalf of your fellow fiber artists! The reason that’s kept me from opening my small crochet/knit business is it’s just so disheartening to see all of these young people out there discrediting and devaluing their own work (and the field as a whole) with these insanely low prices!! This video (and you) gives me HOPE! You [we?] are worth it!! 🥲😭
Hahah No worries! and thank you! I'm determined to stick to my prices and show people that it's not about selling out, it's about selling your work for what it's worth!

Great let's all worship Satan!! NOT! I'm unsubbing. We have enough evil in the world. I won't support those who promote it to children in toys.
I need pattern links for all the keychains you have in the back! So cute! I dont see them on your website
