I’ve got my very first market of 2026 coming up in just a few days, and this video is basically me doing that real-life “am I actually ready?” check-in. I’m talking through what I still need to finish, what I’m feeling good about, and what’s making me a little nervous—because market prep always looks cute on paper until the calendar starts yelling at you. If you’ve ever been in that last-minute crochet grind, you’ll totally get it. I also share what I’ve been working on for stock, including some of the patterns I’m pulling from right now—like the Blue Alien (Crochet Grove), the Sleeping Puppy (Rosalie Toys), and those Demogorgan makes (Just A Mom Crocheting). This is the kind of chatty market prep update where I’m juggling plushie making, planning, and trying to be realistic about what I can get done before setup day. If you’re prepping for your own craft fair, hopefully this gives you a little motivation (and a reminder that you’re not the only one doing the “panic-but-make-it-cute” routine).
