Open 24 – 7 with Social Media – Seminar

September 2, 2011 by TheCrochetCrowd Leave a Comment

You may already know that there is a fantastic newsletter about Creative Income when it comes to selling your products online and in person at shows. Many crafters question whether it’s worth selling products. From a marketing stand point, this newsletter is invaluable as it leaves nothing unturned.

At the Metro Convention CEntre in Toronto Ontario on October 22, 2011 A Social Media Seminar is scheduled.
Join Michael Sellick & Daniel Zondervan in a 45 Minute Seminar about Social Marketing when it comes to building content, videos, and traffic.

Michael Sellick & Daniel Zondervan are scheduled to speak at The Metro Convention Centre on October 22, 2011 at 8:00 am sharp. This seminar is about the ins and outs of social marketing and how it can affect your business.

Michael will be revealing steps to take in order to build an audience that will follow you online. How does he make the videos and with what equipment? How much time is really required to make this all happen? Questions will all be answered.
This seminar is geared to the vendors of Creativ Festival. The seminar will take place at The Crochet Crowd Booth #009 at 8:00 am sharp. If there are lots of people, we will shift over to the Fashion Arts Runway Stage for the presentation. We are conducting the seminar before the opening of the Creativ Festival Show. Vendors must show their ID Credentials to get onto the show floor to access our seminar.
Registration and More Details about the seminar can be found at The Crochet Crowd Website.
Michael Sellick is a video host of AllFreeCrochet.com. Take advantage of the thousands of free crochet patterns at AllFreeCrochet.

AuntyK’s Crochet Guyz

August 23, 2011 by TheCrochetCrowd Leave a Comment

Kathleen's Crochet Guys
Auntyk”s Crochet Guys from Wisconsin USA

AuntyK’s Crochet Guys originates from the brain of Kathleen Ward from Wisconsin. It’s so creative that one may look it and say “OH MY what is that?” to people like me thinking “OH MY… that’s so creative that it’s actually inspiring!” Either way, her crochet guys are stunning and create a reaction.

I’ve known Kathleen for a few months through Facebook. Kathleen is a creative artist with watercolors to crochet projects. She is also a proud grandmother. Her crochet guys have been around for about 4 years at this point.
 
Kathleen mentioned why create stuffed animals for your grand children that all look the same?
 
Why not create a special character that will be a lifetime keep sake? Something so special that it can’t be duplicated. Understanding the concepts of crochet and how it can twist and turn, she set herself on a journey of exploring crochet without patterns. The dolls take shape as she goes. Some dolls takes her up to 70 hours to complete due to the complexity of the yarn transitions.
 
She jokes how some of her designs come to her in dreams at night time. He brain is always processing 24-7. She is truly an artist!
 
Kathleen has stepped up to the Challenge with The Crochet Crowd at Creativ Festival this coming Fall. Two of her very special custom designed characters will be on display. Kathleen sells some of her creations on ETSY as well has sells many others are live crafting shows.
 
If you are ever interested in creating your own Amigurumee Characters, be sure to look up AllFreeCrochet.com to give you free patterns to follow. Once you get it, you two might be able to create your own special characters too!

Duck Brand Is Doing A Halloween Costume Contest

You’ve never seen costumes like these. Take a look at Duct Brand Halloween Costumes. I really liked the blue with the fish design on the suit. Not sure I could pull that off at prom but it would be the talk of the town!

Join Wendy Russell, HGTV host of She’s Crafty on the Fashion Runway for some Halloween fun. Cheer on 3 pre-selected contestants with only 30 minutes, Westcott Non-Stick Titanium Bonded® scissors, Shurtech Duck Tape®, feathers, gemstones and more to create a fabulous, wacky costume! By applause, the audience will pick a winner for each of the four segments!

I witnessed the one on the top with the scissors first hand at CHA in Chicago back in July 2011. The picture is doing no justice for the fabulousity that it has.
