It’s February 2021 and after such a tumultuous year that was 2020, I can honestly say that I’m so happy to have started Spun Tales Boutique this year. I love this creative outlet and I’m happy to share why I started!
As we all are aware, 2020 was the year of COVID and the entire world was subject to rolling with the punches. As a result, I had to deal with some not so fun things like being furloughed from my arts marketing position and losing a sense of security. But there were also some fun things like, adding to my marketing skill set, learning new things, and exploring my creative interests (many which had been on the back burner for too long).
One of those creative interests was creating characters, stories, and unleashing my imagination. I’m on a mission to create cute amigurumi, crochet gifts, and unique handmade items to share and spark joy.
To do just that, I created my first original doll, the Selena Crochet doll. She’s the real start of Spun Tales Boutique and my first Etsy sale. I’ll be posting a dedicated post to this doll, so you’ll get to hear more about her spinning to life. I’m working on a pattern for release and a how-to crochet Selena video, for those that are visual learners (I know I am).
If you can dream it. You can crochet it.
