WOW!!!! What an AMAZING Festival! Wished I lived closer to experience the energy at this Festival!!!!! Delighted that it was such an exciting and successful event for you!!!!
Oh my goodness, April!!! I hope that you were able to rest a little after that MASSIVE market! You truly deserve the success! I have been following you for a while, and your crochet art is next level. You inspire me to be a better fiber artist. So happy to see your sweet momma. You are both so beautiful! Congrats!!!!
Awe! I have said over the years that each year the level goes higher. Who knows the number of hours I have spent with my hooks and yarn over the years. It is a true passion for sure. Reading your comment gives me inspiration to keep pushing that level so thank you for being you! You are amazing! You are so sweet, and I appreciate you so much!
What an amazing market! So happy you got to have your mom there for the last day❤ market days are exhausting but so much fun especially when you have help 😉
Thank you! This market has always been one of my best if not THE best. It's always a long weekend, but worth it. I love the excitement of the people and all of the sales. It's fun to explore and find unique art and food. Thank you so much for watching and commenting. Have a great week!
Wow CONGRATULATIONS! I know it was tough, but I think it was worth it. Hopefully you will have plenty of help next year. So glad your mom was able to help. Congratulations again!
Thank you! I was so tired, LOL. I am glad October is over, and I will def plan better for next year's markets. This year just took me by surprise when my husband had to go out of town. Our plan was foiled literally 2 days before the market. Thank you so much for watching!
What a treat to see a cameo from your son! He looked like he was genuinely enjoying helping you set-up. SO incredibly excited for how well you did at this festival - you are an absolute rockstar for tackling that massive festival almost completely by yourself. I'm inspired! I also got really excited to see your Mom on Sunday! Thank you for as much vlogging you did in the midst of an incredibly busy time; I thoroughly enjoy your videos and appreciate all of the hard work you put into them!
Thank you so much for your words of encouragement. One thing is for sure I have had a lot of practice at these festivals, but I'm not going to lie I was sweating this one knowing I would be alone. It was exhausting! I really do enjoy sharing my small business and editing these videos and I appreciate you for noticing the hard work more than you know!
We missed your Mom too on the first day. I take my husband with me to my markets. He helps some , but I set up all of my items. I set up my items at home and take pictures. But I really remember where everything goes and place them. I am up to 243 items for my next market on Nov. 9, 2024. Wish me luck it will be my first Christmas market.
Incredible market!! I guessed $4,000. Your son was so funny and seems to have a great personality. Thank you for doing your weekly videos. I love them and wouldn't suggest changing a thing.
Thank you so much for your feedback on the video. My son is a lot of fun to be around. We have a great time. I appreciate your support and I hope you are having a great week.
Loved seeing your market. I really like how you show us the people in your booth and the interactions going on. Congratulations on making so much! That’s awesome!
Congratulations April, That’s what I’m going to do next yr. I’m not going to mess around with these small town craft fairs/markets. I’m gonna be doing bigger towns. Tfs Jen in South Dakota. I have a market Saturday
Oh! That’s so awesome! Congratulations! I will be setting up for my first ever craft fair on December 7th. It’s local in my neighborhood. Thank you for all of your suggestions.
Wow that's a lot of work but you got through it with flying colors! Good job. I am a little surprised you leave your cash box out like that. I put mine in the wood crate so no one can see it.
My cash box is tethered to the crate and is always locked when I am not standing in front of it. At other shows I put it in the crate, but at that show we stand on the sidewalk and after a while my back hurts from bending over so I put it up a little higher here. I don't love it either, but it saves my back pain. Thank you so much for your comment! I hope you have a great week!
❤Amazing Market ‼️ You should be s proud of yourself & your Mom. It was sweet to see your son helping. Sauerkraut... Must be originally a German area. My Mama made sauerkraut & weiners growing up.
Thank you so much! I try to make it a family affair as often as possible. I want the entire family to see the fruits of my constant labor, lol. My stepmom makes sauerkraut and pork on New Year's for good luck throughout the year.
WOW!!! April you did outstanding at this market, I was thinking about $2500 of sakes congrats to a very successful market. have a great day and get plenty of rest you truly deserve it.
Your son is a hoot! And I LOVE his hair!! Missing your mom. And then your mom came!! Hi April's mom! Give Rajah a skritch for me! That wind was wicked!!! I really love your market videos. I like seeing the customers and such. I wish I could get into some huge shows like this. I need to work harder to find them. Love the hat! Looks great on you! My guess is $3,700.00
@@thecozybuckeye LOL I would comment - then something else happened or you said something else so I had to go back and edit my comment lol I really enjoy your videos. I am market prepping like mad as I have one or two shows ever weekend till mid december now!
I guessed $6,000. You did great girl! Most people don’t make that much in a month for an income. I thought this vlog was awesome! I love that you are real.
Yay congratulations April. I was close, I guessed 5 grand flat. Loved every minute of the vlogg💕💕💕 I'm always inspired and encouraged to do markets after I watch your vlogs so thank you🙏🥰
Our youngest & yours would be BESTIES. So so so much alike! I miss my “baby” - Chicago stole him for college & a lovely young lady and his future, kept him. Sign. I swear, I should be the 27 yo! Bananas. I haven’t been to the sauerkraut in years, but it has gotten huge! CONGRATS on the success - RIGHTFULLY SO!!! Thank you for sharing with us! Xxx 🧡
My son could be besties with anyone, he is so much fun to be around and such a sweetheart! I love the Sauerkraut Fest. The first time I saw the road of tents I knew I had to sell there, and I've been there for 5 years now. Thank you so much for commenting. I hope to meet up with you soon! I hope you are doing well!
@thecozybuckeye so amazing! I'm really enjoying your videos, I have learned so much! I wouldn't have been able to do market's when my kids were younger. My youngest was severely disabled.
Congratulations on this festival. The amount earned was 5 x my social security one month! I don’t know if I could pull it off due to some health limitations. Having help is mandatory.
I do all my markets alone so I understand why you were so upset about having no help. Twice my parents and sister turned up and helped out for a couple hours and it was so lovely, I got to drink and pee. I normally slow sip my water 2 hours into a market, don’t eat until it’s finished, that way I’m never caught out. My market next week is all day for 2 days and I hope I’m near some toilets. You’re going to love next year not having to worry about making and selling. Congrats on your market
I have always had my mom at every market until this year, so it's been quite the adjustment when she is not there. I was def slow sipping at this festival until my daughter showed up. I guess sometimes we have to do what we have to do. Thank you so much for watching and commenting and I wish you success at your markets. Have a great week!
WOOOOOW 😀. I guessed 3400 dollars, but 5300 is extremely amazing, - I just... WOOOOOW!!! I really enjoyed watching this video, and especially the traffic in your "boot", - amazing. It was great that your mom could be with you at least for the Sunday. I am myself now preparing for my first ever market, - a Christmas market. I am tagging whilst watching you, and I have a huge job a head of me. My mom is visiting me, and she has told me she wants to help me "ironing" or "steaming" my items. I am so happy for that, because it is my worst chore hehe... Next Saturday... Can´t wait...
Yay! I am so excited for you to start selling your items in person. I can't wait to hear how you do. Best of Luck to you! Thank you for watching and I hope you have an amazing week!
Hi April! I´m from Germany and it´s kind of funny to see, that you go to a "Sauerkraut" festival...actually it´s a german food. Do you know the history behind it? Many Greetings!!
Thank you for sharing your market experience with us. I’m getting ready for my first market and find your videos so helpful. I do have a question…what do you use to power your stuff when electric isn’t available?
Thank you so much for watching and your comment! At this market we have electric, but if I don't, I always take batteries as a backup. I always make sure I have a full charge on everything before I leave. So, I rarely need the extra batteries, but I always have them. Best of Luck to you at your first market! Let me know how you do!
April I have a chronic illness that prevents me from walking much and I have swelling in my feet and legs that causes me pain at night as well, I use Tylenol arthritis, it is different than regular Tylenol because it’s time released. Please give it a try. It helps a lot.
Hello and thank you so much for the advice. I will definitely give it a try next time I have pain. I appreciate your kindness. I hope you are having a great week!
Thank you so much! I am only going to do a few shows next year as I want to focus on my patterns, but I will do The Sauerkraut Fest, The Weber Farms Pumpkin Fest and Lakota High School. That's probably it. I want to focus next year on writing patterns, but I know I will still be crocheting, LOL.
I never understood how anyone can crochet during a market. Maybe I’m just really busy but, I’ve never completed anything during a market. It’s a good problem to have…lol Most pain is related to inflammation. I suggest taking 800 mg of ibuprofen with 500 mg of acetaminophen for acute pain. p.s. I just bought 4 of your hat patterns…more please 🙏🏼💜
Thank you so much for supporting me! I hate taking any medications and only use them for intolerable pain, but I will definitely keep the Ibuprofen and Tylenol on hand for the next time it’s bad. I appreciate your comment and for buying my patterns. I can’t wait to add more the my shop. I have so many to publish!
WOW!!!! What an AMAZING Festival! Wished I lived closer to experience the energy at this Festival!!!!! Delighted that it was such an exciting and successful event for you!!!!
Thank you so much! This is my favorite festival every year! I appreciate your comment, and I wish you could experience it too!
Aloha from Hawaii 🌴 What a fabulous market. I'm glad you did soooo well. I love your hats. ALOHA!
Thank you for watching! It was a good day.
Ahhhh 🎉 Such an amazing market!! You killed it girl, and I know you were exhausted, but YOU 👏🏻 DID 👏🏻 THAT 👏🏻 Proud of you!!
Thanks Heather! I was sooooo tired and still haven't been able to get caught up on sleep, LOL. Maybe one day soon!
So fun!!! Congrats!!! I could see that wind in the time lapse footage . Wow! I really enjoy your vlogs!
It was windy, LOL. Thank you so much for watching and commenting! I appreciate you and hope you have a great week!

The massive crowd that is walking by the tent is incredible. Did you ever get an attendance numbers.

Congratulations April, That’s what I’m going to do next yr. I’m not going to mess around with these small town craft fairs/markets. I’m gonna be doing bigger towns. Tfs Jen in South Dakota. I have a market Saturday
I highly recommend these big festivals if you can swing it. They are so worth it and best of luck to you this Saturday.

How are you doing a market alone? How do you get food and go to the restroom? Your amazing!
I packed a cooler of food and drinks and my neighbor watched my booth so I could use the restroom.
@thecozybuckeye so amazing! I'm really enjoying your videos, I have learned so much! I wouldn't have been able to do market's when my kids were younger. My youngest was severely disabled.
Congratulations on this festival. The amount earned was 5 x my social security one month! I don’t know if I could pull it off due to some health limitations. Having help is mandatory.

@@kathrinhartmann4034 Well hello from Germany! I would love to know your take on Sauerkraut from Germany. Thank you for watching!
I don't really like it that much😊
That is the coolest idea on your walls! Are those fish nets??
They are 10 x 10 sporting nets that I cut down to fit the tent.
Tell your husband thank you so much!!! I’m in the Tampa area and it is insane.
I will! I hope you are doing well in Tampa!

Hello and thank you so much for the advice. I will definitely give it a try next time I have pain. I appreciate your kindness. I hope you are having a great week!
May I ask what you are using for filming from the corner of your tent?
I am using the newest Go Pro. I can control it from an app on my phone. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Rooting for you from Athens Ohio ❤ Do you have a list of events for 2025?
I’m from that region (Athens county)! Small world!
Thank you so much! I am only going to do a few shows next year as I want to focus on my patterns, but I will do The Sauerkraut Fest, The Weber Farms Pumpkin Fest and Lakota High School. That's probably it. I want to focus next year on writing patterns, but I know I will still be crocheting, LOL.
Congratulations on such a successful market! All your hard work paid off. Take a well-deserved - but brief - rest then go do the same next weekend!
Thank you so much for your support. It’s now November and I’m still busy, LOL. I’m going to need a vacation, LOL!
I never understood how anyone can crochet during a market. Maybe I’m just really busy but, I’ve never completed anything during a market. It’s a good problem to have…lol
Most pain is related to inflammation. I suggest taking 800 mg of ibuprofen with 500 mg of acetaminophen for acute pain.
p.s. I just bought 4 of your hat patterns…more please 🙏🏼💜

@ I’m looking forward to it. I’ll be making my grandson your shark hat next weekend, he’s so excited!
How do I find your blog????
I only have my vlog on my RUclips channel. Maybe someday I'll have a blog.
My guess is $5000. In hats alone, my guess is $3000+!
You are the winner without going over, LOL.
4500.00
So close! Thank you for your guess and for supporting me and my channel! You Rock!
You needed help ! There’s no way you could watch your inventory and process sales
I agree, but unfortunately this time I had no options. Trust me I tried.
OK I AM TIRED OF YOU COMPLAINING ABOUT NO HELP NOW HIRE SOMEONE ALREADY YOU ARE KILLING THE VIBES
I like the hat you look so cute in it🌹
Thank you! I do love this hat. Jill does beautiful work!
