How exciting! Saturday was my first time selling my stuff at a crafts fair! I took all
my little amigurumis with me. The fair took place at a school and the
kids were enraptured by all my little creatures and they sold like hot
cakes. The owls were especially popular with the budgies a close second.
In the end all the animals sold out so I will start crocheting a bunch for next year. I got several custom orders and would love to do more in the future. My crochet hook is for hire so if you need a particular animal made, a Christmas stocking, or anything else just email me emmakcontact[at]yahoo.com

I wonder whether owls will be in next year or some other animal!? No matter, I will just crochet a whole range of the critters. Owls are super-easy to crochet and you can use this
free pattern as a starting point and then let your imagination run wild with a range of colors - great for using up scraps of wool.
I was also showing off my portfolio for the pet portraits and everyone was really impressed. It was a bit exhausting but it was really fun to talk to people and get feedback on my art. I suppose I am not really that reclusive but when you are working on your art you are in your own little creative world. So it was smashing to get some positive feedback.
And if you need any last minute prints of my art check out my store at Redbubble. Just click on
this link to see prints from $24.
If you sell your art or crafts at crafts fairs tell me about your experiences. Is it worth it?
Linking up with #AllAboutYou Pin Party
