Amazon Haul DEAL and Business Updates

*As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.*       

    Hey everyone. It has been a minute since our last post in 2023, and to be honest, I got caught up in life, from a possible divorce, to making mends and renewing our vows, and growing spiritually. The past two years have been filled with growing, joy, family, and happiness. You can read about it in my book I am currently writing, so stay tuned for updates!

    When I started this business venture, I said I would give it a year to see where it would lead me. I have, and I am happy to share and announce that Brant's Crafty Creations is staying put! Last year, in 2024, I had a couple of new experiences with bigger vendor events than I had previously had. This year, I went to those events as a returning vendor and added two new events to my calendar. At one of my returning events, I had a young child come up to the booth and ask if I was the same crochet artist her and her brother got a few stuffed animals from. Her mom asked if I could make her daughter another snake. They waited until I had finished the snake before they left. (If you are reading this, thank you again!)

   I was a vendor for the Humeston, IA Watermelon Day last year and returned again this year. I enjoy being part of an event that was a huge part of my childhood. I grew up in Humeston and highly recommend stopping by the Depot Museum when it's open to learn about the history, seeing the war tank at the RV park north of town, and the Cinder Path to enjoy a beautiful walk among nature. I attended the Afton Autumn Days and Humeston's first annual Boo Bash.

     Aside from attending events, we have a Facebook page where you can find us and follow us, so you know where you can see us for upcoming events, as well as see our current projects and announcements. You can view our page here: Brant's Crafty Creations

    I have been making new items and writing new patterns to release for sale, and have a few items available in my local hospital's gift shop. We have some exciting things coming our way for 2026, and we cannot wait to share them with you when the time is right. For now, you can view our free pattern here: 

And as promised, here is an Amazon haul that is hard to beat!

First Fall Event

As promised I am posting about the craft show I had on Saturday, just posting it a little later than I had originally planned. In this post I will tell you when I started preparing, how I prepared, what to plan for (just based on the hiccups I had that almost prevented me from going), and what my turnout and profit was and if anything, what I would do differently. When I Started to Prepare and How I Did I first heard of the craft show at the end of July and at first I wasn't sure if I was going to participate or not. It wasn't scheduled until September 16th, with the vendor fee due September 1st so I had time to decide but if I was going to do it, but if I was I needed time to prepare. The last week of July was spent debating whether or not to go and asking my husband for his opinion. After he told me it couldn't hurt to try, I decided I would do it. Next I needed to determine what I was going to do for it. The first two craft shows I did I had absolutely no sales. I wanted...
