How many times have you had to pivot in your business? Did you become frustrated whenit happened? Was the fear of failure creeping in your path? Like many others, I've had topivot plenty of times within my business. From niching down my target audience torebranding my messaging, I had to learn that these were not failures but pivot points. The passion I had for my business was still present, so I knew that I was remaining in mypurpose. However, I needed to figure out the best way to flow with my business and notagainst it. Here's a few tips and examples of how I navigated pivoting within my business. If you have a product or service that's been struggling to make a profit, take a pause andreevaluate that product or service offer. Best example of this happened to me when I washosting in-person classes. Barely anyone showed up, and I was becoming frustrated fromthe rental cost and dedicated time to hosting classes. When I took a pause and re-evaluated the in-person classes, I found that hosting virtual classes flowed better for mybusiness at that point in time. When you are facing resistance within your business, review your business flows,systems, and processes. There is no shame with finding the best business process thatworks for you. Don't treat your business like your 9-5! A 9-5 can be very stressful with gruesome, longwork hours. Do you really want your passion to stress you out? I don't! Incorporate self-care practices in your business flow, which may include timeboxing your tasks, takingbreaks, or hiring others to do tasks that stress you out. Remember, when you are facing pivot points in your passion, also known as yourbusiness, you will never face failure. Failure is when you no longer have passion for whatyou are doing. No one ever said entrepreneurship would be easy. There will be ebbs andflows, long nights, blissful mornings, and huge successes. It takes one moment to realizethat pivoting may be the best thing to happen to your business.

KELLY AULDRIDGE CRAFTING SUSTAINABILITY: INSIDE THE WORLD OF KELLY AULDRIDGE, FOUNDER OF DABBLEKelly Auldridge, a shining star in the DMV scene, unveils her quirky thrifting craft shop nestled in the lively city ofManassas. We caught up with Kelly to spill the beans on her fabulous store and its awesome mission in our local hood.B C N M A G A Z I N E  | 2 3How did the idea for Dabble come about? Dabble is a thrift store focused on art and craftingsupplies, we also offer public and private classes and camps. Our mission is to make arts andcrafting more accessible and sustainable. I found out about the concept of the Creative ReuseCenter at an artist event at Fillagreen last summer while talking with another artist who workswith Upcycle CRC in Alexandria. I loved the concept immediately and after visiting a fewCRCs, I really wanted to bring it to Manassas.Can you share a bit about your journey in the crafting industry leading up to theestablishment of Dabble? I have always enjoyed crafting and had started selling at craft fairsand events several years ago under my brand Necessary Frippery. Through that I met theowners of Vita Nova Creatives and Coffee in Nokesville who asked to carry my work in theirshop. One of their patrons had asked about a macrame class and the owners asked me if Iwould be interested in teaching some. This was something I hadn't done before, but I lovedworking with people in this way and seeing the joy as they learned something new and wereproud of what they made. I think that this really gave me a lot of confidence to branch out andexplore new opportunities.What inspired you to focus on sustainability and reuse within the crafting community? After visiting other CRCs in Virginiaand seeing all of the materials that they had to offer, it really brought to light just how much is out there and available for reuse. Asartists and crafters, we tend to hold on to our extra supplies hoping to pass them on to the right person doing the right project, but thatcan be hard to find. We act as a medium to help those supplies get into the next creative hands.What sets Dabble apart from other crafting stores or centers? We are certainly different than any other local craft stores becauseof the thrift store model, allowing us to sell materials at a much lower cost. Beyond that, we are very much a community project. Ihave provided the location and organization, but it's the community that makes this happen with donations, shopping and supportingeach other in their art and crafting endeavors. We are here to help people achieve their creative goals by helping to remove barriers andbuild relationships.How do you source materials for Dabble? All of the materials available at Dabble are donated by the community.Can you describe the process of bringing donated materials to the center and making them available for crafters?Contributors can bring up to two shopping bags or equivalent boxes in without an appointment during our regular business hours. Ifyou want to bring in a larger donation, we ask that you e-mail us to make an appointment.What types of materials can crafters find at Dabble? How do you ensure the quality and safety of the materials provided atDabble? We have gotten such an amazing variety of donations! We get a lot of fabric, yarn, scrapbooking supplies, kid's craft kits andmaterials, buttons, beads, paper, sewing materials and kits. Honestly, if you can craft with it, we've probably had it come through. We do try to check materials as they go out by making sure things are in good working condition.How has Dabble been received by the local community so far? We have been overwhelmed by the positive response from thecommunity! There has been so much excitement and love around this idea. It has been more wonderful than I could have evenimagined. We have such a beautiful creative community in this area and I am so happy that they have embraced this concept andwant to be a part of it.What role does Dabble play in promoting sustainability and environmental consciousness within the community? I thinkthat Dabble, and other Creative Reuse Centers, shine a different light on sustainability. We demonstrate the importance of sharingwithin in our community, and the importance of building relationships to have a way to do that sharing. Being focused on art andcraft supplies really allows us to help build relationships in a community with shared interests.

KELLY AULDRIDGE CRAFTING SUSTAINABILITY: INSIDE THE WORLD OF KELLY AULDRIDGE, FOUNDER OF DABBLEB C N M A G A Z I N E  | 2 4Can you share any success stories or memorable moments involving Dabble and its impact on the community? We have hadso many memorable moments already. I love being a part of something where people feel comfortable expressing themselves andtrying something new, and knowing that they are enjoying what we are building. I have learned so much from our patrons and someof my favorite moments are hearing experienced folks sharing their knowledge with those just getting started.What challenges have you faced in establishing and running Dabble, particularly in terms of sourcing materials or gainingcommunity support? How have you overcome these challenges? What advice would you give to others looking to start asimilar venture focused on sustainability and reuse? This is something that was completely new to my husband and I. We haveboth had corporate careers and have never been in the small business world. What has helped us the most has been the relationshipsthat we have built with the BCN and the local community. We have had so many fantastic people mentor us, answer our questions,point us in the direction of resources, inspire and motivate us. There are 8 independently owned CRCs in Virginia, and all of the ownershave started meeting periodically to discuss challenges and opportunities. There is no way we could have done this alone. For anyonelooking to start a new venture, I would say build your community and talk to those who have done what you want to do. In regards tosourcing materials and gaining community support, it has been all about communication. We love to talk about what we are buildingand are overjoyed that so many others are sharing it within their circles. Do you have any upcoming projects or initiativesfor Dabble that you're particularly excited about?We have big plans! Our ribbon cutting was on April16th at 1pm. We were excited to announce that wewill be expanding our hours to be open during theweek and expanding our space to include the upstairsof our building where we will have dedicatingcrafting space for classes and independent work.These changes also mean that we will be able to startorganizing volunteers and expanding our programs.We have some fun summer camps already listed andare working on lots of other fun program ideas!How do you envision the future of Dabble and its role within the crafting and sustainability movements? I hope that weare able to continue to grow with the community and meet them where the needs are. We have already learned so much and lookforward to continuing to let the community guide our path forward.What has been the most rewarding aspect of creating and operating Dabble? The most rewarding aspect, and something I hadnot anticipated, was how happy people are to have a special place to donate their materials to, knowing that they will find their wayto new creative hands. Artists and crafters spend a lot of time selecting and curating their supplies. There is a lot of joy knowingthey are going somewhere where they will be appreciated.How has your perspective on crafting and sustainability evolved since starting Dabble? This experience has really openedmy eyes to how much extra is out there waiting to get into the right hands.Is there anything else you'd like to share about your journey with Dabble or your vision for the future? I would just like tosay thank you to everyone who has contributed to this project so far. Everyone who has donated, shopped, and shared theirsupport and kindness has made this possible, and we appreciate each one of you more than you can know.How can readers support Dabble and its mission?
