I was really unsure how to make this post.
This weekend we did our annual Fall Festival in Raeford, NC for our 3rd year. We were really excited for it and prepped so much stuff. Unfortunately, it didn’t go well for us. Despite thousands of attendees, poor placement of vendors at an event is very harmful to business. As you can see in my third photo, we were placed directly next to another crochet vendor and across from two others.
Out of 170+ vendors, to have so many of each kind grouped together was pretty silly, and very harmful to the businesses it happened too. We barely made 30 sales in 7 hours which was a first for us; we’ve never done so badly at an event before.
But it happens, and we learn from it. We don’t know if we’ll go back to the NC Fall Festival in Raeford next year, we are currently looking at different opportunities now. But for those that did stop to see us, including a couple of repeat customers, we are so thankful for you and your support! We always accept custom orders and we can deliver or ship!

Hello everyone, I apologize for the recent delay in updates. I am currently 12 weeks pregnant with twins, and the morning sickness and fatigue have been quite overwhelming. Nevertheless, we have planned our events through the end of the year, and I will post that information next. I am paying my crochet taxes by sharing a picture of a custom order that was delivered today!

Just want to thank Cape Fear Valley Hospital for having us out for our third year in a row at their Nurses Week Shopaganza! We loved seeing everyone, and the music bingo during downtimes was so much fun!

Day 1 and 2 of our Dogwood Festival setup in Fayetteville, NC. We had an amazing time and met some awesome people, thank you to everyone who stopped to see us! This was the best way to start our year doing events, and we can’t wait to do it again next year!

Second day at the Dogwood Festival started a little tough, but soon went great! We got back to our tent to find that some wind had taken out the tents on either side of ours. After helping clean up (unfortunately one next to us was broken), we set up for the day. We did even better than yesterday! We are thankful for the opportunity to be back this year, and we can’t wait to do it again next year!
Special shoutout to the awesome volunteers that helped with the tents this morning!
