Crafting Dreams: Nurturing Creativity and Mental Wellbeing at The Dabble Spot
Hello, dear readers!
This has been an incredible year of highs and lows. I quit my job in a toxic work environment to follow my dream of opening my own business. Even though it is slightly smaller than I envisioned I am loving the process of building it up. I have learned so much from web design, creating blogs to creating an e-commerce shop, making pins on Pinterest, taking webinars, and always learning. My biggest accomplishment has to be all the subscribers who signed up. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
In January, I want us to get cozy and embrace winter. I bought a knitting machine that we will learn how to use together but first, we need yarn. I bought an inexpensive e-spinner from Dreaming Robots and we will learn to spin vegan fibers. I thought all the fibers came from animals and worms so I can’t wait to delve into that with you.
With the long nights, we need light, I will also go into candle making. A hobby my father taught me when I was in middle school or so.
I am also going to dabble into YouTube and make videos and/or do live-streaming adventures as I convert my basement into a haven for crafting and self-discovery. Together, we'll explore projects, learn new tools, and prioritize mental wellness in every stitch, spin, and knot. Did I mention with a craft cafe we would need an espresso cart? I hope to have that done as well in 2024.
Here are my goals for my online space.
Creating a Sanctuary for the Soul
Discover how The Dabble Spot's craft cafe isn't just a physical space but a sanctuary for the soul. Learn how the thoughtful design of our crafting haven is aimed at fostering a positive atmosphere, promoting relaxation, and providing an escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Tools for Joyful Crafting and Stress Relief
Explore the world of innovative tools like the KnitKing Compuknit IV and the EEW Nano e-spinner, not just as instruments for creation, but as allies in the pursuit of mental wellbeing. Uncover the therapeutic benefits of engaging with these tools and how they contribute to a mindful and calming crafting experience.
Macramé Magic for Stress Reduction
Immerse yourself in the art of macramé and experience its magical ability to reduce stress. Together, we'll craft a macramé cocoon chair, a project designed not only to adorn our space but also to serve as a retreat when we need to destress. Learn the meditative knots that make macramé a mindful practice for mental rejuvenation.
Going Back to Basics
We will delve into the art of crafting our own clothes, knitting cozy sweaters, and creating the warm glow of hand-dipped candles. In this upcoming year, let's collectively slow down, savor the creative process, and cultivate a deep appreciation for the beauty of handmade craftsmanship.
Community Connection and Mental Wellness
At The Dabble Spot, the community is at the heart of our creative journey. Explore ways we can foster a supportive and inclusive crafting community through live streams, collaborative projects, and shared experiences. Learn how connecting with like-minded individuals contributes to a sense of belonging, positively impacting mental well-being. Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest.
