  • Recently, I got to sell my crochet plushies and accessories at Anime Boston 2024!! This was my first time vending at an anime convention and I'm so thankful that I got to accomplish this long-time goal of mine. It really feels like a dream come true to go from casual cosplayer to selling my handmade products at the convention. In this video I talk all about what the experience was like applying to, prepping for, and actually selling at Anime Boston this year and what I hope to do now that the convention has ended. Thanks for watching! Let me know in the comments what you'd like to see in my next video

    I went to the anime Boston for the first time, and I have never been to any convention before. I too experienced the physical toll the con had on my body! It was an amazing experience and although I didn't see your booth, I’ll definitely keep an eye out for you in the future, and I wouldn't mind swinging by with some refreshments or a snack :)

    Hi! I just found your channel through this video and wanted to say congrats on accomplishing your goal of selling at an anime convention! :D I would love to see a more detailed breakdown of what you sold and your best sellers if possible! :) Your bags and the soot sprites are adorable!
    I also sold crochet at an anime convention for the first time this year! But I was actually the opposite where I started out by selling art at anime conventions for years and this was my first time selling crochet! These conventions are super long though so its understandable that you had to leave early for your dog and your physical health :( Ive been so lucky to have a table partner and friends that would bring us food and water. It makes all the difference! (I usually bring a bunch of snacks and water just in case though!)

      That’s awesome!! I’ve never had enough confidence in my paintings and drawings to try to sell them but crochet made me feel like a true artist for the first time in a really long time 🥹 but yeah this convention was both fun and exhausting by myself haha hopefully if I can vend at another one I might have some help next time!

    Anime Boston has gotten more and more crowded each year. This year was even worse than last year. And a lot of people go just to shop so everyone is in the artist alley and vendor hall. Just packed like sardines

    Nice to see you again. 😊 You did the right thing going home for your fur baby. Will you do a breakdown of what you sold.

      I would really like to, but I think it would probably be a longer video so it might take some time for me to make, edit, and upload it

      Thank you so much! I free handed the pattern for the BMO bag but there’s a nice free pattern for a little BMO plushy on IG @/ammygurumiku 🤗
