And my goal is to help you make money with your favorite hobby. In my blog you will find over 40+ patterns that were designed by me specifically for those who sell their makes to bring in extra income.
You will find that vendor markets are my JAM (I have been doing them for over 12 years!) and almost all of my blog posts are geared towards market prep.
Thank you for checking out my blog and be sure to subscribe if you wish to learn more about how I was able to turn my favorite hobby into a full-time income.
It can be very frustrating trying to find the perfect gift to make for the great teachers who invest in our children, so I have tried to find a list of makes that I think would be greatly appreciated by teachers all around and save you a bit of time in your search.
Read MoreThis bookmark was inspired by a macramé bookmark I saw on Pinterest. It can be made in at least 3 different styles and is a great gift for any book lover in your life! They are simple yet beautiful and work up very quickly. They sell extremely well and would make a great Mother’s Day gift, teacher’s gift, or any gift for a friend!
Read MoreI decided to try and use the braided concept I used for my Macrochet Mini Planters to make a little keychain, and I think they came out really cute! They look like macramé knots but they are simple single crochet stitches. They take very little by way of supplies and are SUPER fast to make. They would make a great little vendor market item for the warmer months or a nice small gift!
Read MoreThis adorable mini planter would be great for brightening up an office cubicle or a great teacher’s gift or Mother’s Day gift. It makes up extremely quickly and would be a great market prep item for Spring Vendor events!
Read MoreIt’s that time again! The warm weather is here and we say goodbye to our hats, scarves, pocket shawls and ear warmers. But for many of us who do vendor markets as a form of income, we find ourselves asking “what do I make now?”
Not all of us will have the same answer, but I have done many vendor markets in the warmer months, and I have had some great success with several items that I would like to share with you.
Read MoreTHIS LOVELY DESIGN CAME ABOUT AFTER I GAINED INSPIRATION FROM A FOLDING CHAIR I PURCHASED FROM TARGET. IT HAS SUCH A COOL GEOMETRIC DESIGN ON IT. I HAVE STARED AT IT MANY TIMES TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW I COULD TRANSLATE THE GORGEOUS DESIGN INTO MY CROCHET WORK. THEN IT HIT ME ONE DAY-TAPESTRY CROCHET!
Read MoreWhen I first made this snowflake, it was in the form of an ornament. I was inspired by one I saw on Pinterest made using macrame knots. However, once I made it, I began to think of all the different ways it could be adapted to be so much more than just an ornament! The wheels in my brain started turning, and in no time I had a placemat, a trivet, and a coaster, all by following the same pattern for the snowflake motif, but simply changing a few things.
Read MoreI have made nearly 100 of these adorable little bags. They have always been a great seller for me. The technique is a bit challenging, but well worth the effort. My customers love looking inside to see the matching fabric liner. It also makes a really great gift. This is the revised pattern, as I have improved my technique since writing the first edition.
Read MoreI created this lampshade cover because I couldn’t find one that was the look I wanted at an affordable price. The lighting kit was only $20 at Lowe’s and I purchased the lampshade at a thrift store for $1.50. I was infinitely happier with the cost, and I love the simple beauty it adds to my room. It’s a lovely statement piece that won’t overwhelm your space!
Read MoreI designed this extra squishy hat especially for super bulky weight yarns. It makes a great market prep hat because it uses very little yardage and works up in under an hour. The use of stitches in the back loop only cause the hat to have a tremendous amount of stretch, making it fit a large variety of heads. It has been a best-seller for my vendor markets and I hope you have the same success!
