This vlog takes you with me to the Milford High School Craft Show, which ended up being my final market of 2025. I’m sharing the real behind-the-scenes of closing out a market season—what it feels like physically and emotionally, and how I’m processing everything as a crochet amigurumi small business owner. Markets are always a mix of excitement, exhaustion, and reflection, and this one really felt like the end of a chapter for me. I also talk honestly about my accident and the neck injury I’ve been dealing with, and what “slow and steady recovery” looks like when you’re used to pushing through to get inventory done, pack the car, set up your booth, and show up for customers. This video is a reminder that sometimes life forces you to slow down, and that doesn’t mean you’re failing—it means you’re healing. I’m heading into the holidays feeling grateful for every single person who’s supported my handmade work, my patterns, and this channel, and I’m focusing on rest so I can step into the new year with intention and creativity.
