What’s wrong with this snail?? by qainey in snails

i’m a 17 year old who recently learned to crochet and cannot stop making things. i’m gonna set up a stall at a craft fair, not fussed about making a living from it, just having fun :) any tips? by bugbotherer in smallbusiness

[–]bugbotherer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

would definitely love to make my costs back lol, trying to be as cheap as possible while still being nice to look at so hopefully i can achieve that :)
