Welcome to Room for Calm
Hi, I’m Hannah – maker, small business owner, and firm believer in the power of creativity to calm your nervous system, boost your mood, and improve your overall mental health.
Based in Antioch, California and selling worldwide, Room for Calm is your home for stress-relieving creative hobbies that anyone can enjoy – no fancy skills required, no big investment of time or money needed, just simple ways to slow down and make something with your hands.
The Origin Story
Room for Calm began in 2022 as CubicleCrossStitches, an Etsy store that allowed me to express some of my snarky inner work thoughts on fabric while connecting with a community of crafty folks looking for a creative escape from the daily grind.
As the business grew and became my full-time focus, I realized my mission was bigger than just cross stitch. Hands-on creativity in general helps people let go of anxious thoughts and daily stress, and I wanted to offer more ways for people to experience those therapeutic benefits beyond stitching.
And so, Room for Calm was born!
