This week I'm joined by Sarah Ruth Morris of Ruthlessly Handmade. Education researcher, quilter, and mother of two boys in Texas. Sarah's quilts are stitched with purpose: each one is part of her ongoing practice of learning to love more deeply.Through quilt fundraisers, she has rallied makers and supporters to uplift children in need. She raised funds for Isaiah 117 House in the fall and beginning a new fundraiser benefiting The Trevor Project in spring 2026. Sarah's heart for care and community runs through everything she creates.In recent years, quilting has also become a space for Sarah to process and express her evolving spirituality. Her art-driven quilts explore the tender, complicated emotions of deconstructing old beliefs, imagery that has resonated powerfully with many survivors who see themselves reflected in her work.You can explore Sarah's quilts and learn how to support upcoming fundraisers at ruthlesslyhandmade.com or follow her at @ruthlesslyhandmade on Instagram.

We're in the midst of a craft revolution. We're seeing explosive growth in many consumer products categories. There is no one definition, I would say, but oftentimes there are artisanal products, locally sourced, handmade, and sometimes made in small batches.我们正处在一场手工艺革命的浪潮之中。我们看到许多消费品类别都在出现爆炸式增长。虽然没有一个统一的定义,但通常它们是手工制作的产品、本地采购、手工打造,有时以小批量方式生产。It resonates with many of the megatrends that we see with consumers, particularly millennials who are really looking for something very authentic. They like to take risks and try new products. Right now, it's primarily a U.S. phenomenon, but we're seeing growth in many markets outside the U.S. as well.这与我们看到的许多消费大趋势相契合,尤其是千禧一代,他们非常追求真实的东西。他们喜欢冒险、尝试新产品。目前这主要是一种美国现象,但我们也在看到美国以外许多市场的增长。We really think the craft revolution will be a global phenomenon over the next 10 years. We're seeing the craft revolution across many categories. You know, when you think about restaurants, the whole farm-to-table concept is a great example of craft.我们确实认为,在未来10年内,手工艺革命将成为全球现象。我们在许多类别中都看到了这种手工艺浪潮。例如,当你想到餐饮业时,“从农场到餐桌”的理念就是一个典型的手工化代表。You're seeing it in cosmetics. Handmade soap, for example, is really a growing part of that industry. I think most importantly, where we're seeing the most and the fastest growth we're seeing is really in the alcoholic beverages.你也能在化妆品领域看到这种趋势。例如手工皂,已成为该行业快速增长的部分。而我认为最重要的是,我们看到增长最多、增速最快的领域其实是酒精类饮品。Beer and spirits are examples of where we're seeing really a true craft revolution playing out. Craft beer is the most developed and largest segment within craft. It's about 10% of the total industry volume, independent crafts, and if you include some of the craft-style brands that are owned by the major companies, it's actually as large as 13%, 14%.啤酒和烈酒是我们看到真正的手工革命正在发生的典型例子。在所有手工领域中,精酿啤酒是发展最成熟、规模最大的部分。独立精酿啤酒约占整个行业销量的10%,如果再算上大公司拥有的精酿风格品牌,比例实际上可达到13%至14%。It's interesting because it's not a new concept per se. Craft beers have been around since the 80s and 90s, really started out as some of the smaller microbrewery developing their own beer in their garages, and I think the last 10 years, we've seen such explosive growth in craft beer. And we think that over the next five years, the craft beer segment could be as big as 20% of the total industry volume.有趣的是,这本身并不是一个新概念。精酿啤酒从80年代、90年代就已经出现,最早是一些小型的家庭微型酿酒厂在车库里自行酿造。而在过去10年,我们看到了精酿啤酒的爆炸式增长。我们认为,在未来五年内,精酿啤酒可能会增长到整个行业规模的20%。Craft spirits is smaller than beer. Today we think it's about 2% to 3% of the total industry volume, but what's interesting and fascinating is that this is growing at a really faster rate than beer. Many of the craft spirits brands are growing 40%, 50%, and really it touches on across many categories within spirits.精酿烈酒目前比啤酒小得多。现在我们估计它占整个行业的2%到3%。但有趣的是,它的增长速度比啤酒还要快。许多精酿烈酒品牌正以40%至50%的速度增长,而且涵盖烈酒中的多个类别。So it's not just the whiskey phenomenon, but you're seeing it in vodka, you're seeing it in gin. The other thing that's interesting is when you think about the number of distilleries that are actually popping up, it's very close to where beer was 10, 15 years ago. So think about the trajectory that craft spirits could be on for the next 10 years, really replicating what beer went through on the craft side.所以这不只是威士忌的现象,你能在伏特加、杜松子酒中都看到这一趋势。另一个有趣的点是,当你观察新成立的蒸馏厂的数量时,它与啤酒在10到15年前的情况非常相似。所以想象一下未来10年精酿烈酒的发展轨迹,很可能会复制精酿啤酒过去的路径。Interestingly, I think what you have to keep in mind is the consequences of what all this means for some of the larger players. Some are buying some of these smaller craft brands, some are trying to develop their own brands organically, but certainly the competitive intensity has been rising and we think will continue to rise as a result of just the proliferation and the competitive pressure from these craft beer brands. So the rise of craft is here to stay.值得注意的是,我们必须考虑这些变化对大型企业意味着什么。一些大公司正在收购小型精酿品牌,一些则试图自行开发手工风格产品。但无论如何,竞争强度正在上升,且我们认为会持续上升,因为精酿品牌数量迅速增加并带来了巨大的竞争压力。因此,手工艺浪潮势不可挡。In some categories we think the craft will really take over the mainstream segments in that particular category, and like it or not, the larger companies really have to deal with the consequences of what that means. It's not just an impact on the consumers, but how the companies are dealing with that will really define how the industry impacts the broader trends over time.在某些类别中,我们认为手工化甚至会取代该类别的主流市场。不管大型企业愿不愿意,它们都必须应对这种变化带来的影响。这不仅影响消费者行为,更影响企业如何调整策略,而这些变化将最终塑造整个行业如何影响未来更广泛的趋势。
Welcome back to the Maternal Journal podcast - a deep dive into the power of journaling and creativity to support mental health and wellbeing through pregnancy, birth and parenting. In this episode, writer and artist/illustrator Miriam Gold discusses her beautiful graphic memoir, Elena - A Hand Made Life. The book is part memoir and part biography of her beloved grandmother, Dr. Elena Zadik. By the time Miriam knew her, Dr. Zadik was a longstanding GP in the former mill town of Leigh, Lancashire. But alongside her medical career, she carried with her the trauma of persecution and displacement, having fled war during the Second World War. Host Laura Godfrey-Isaacs explores how we can honour family stories and memories through the graphic form, using drawing, collage, and photography.
In this episode of Conversations with Jeremy, I sit down with Bree and Chuck, the creative duo behind Kylar & Keera; a humble Arizona-based brand turning handmade art into something special. From smoking accessories and keychains to custom-designed pieces, their work blends creativity, craftsmanship, and heart. We dive into their journey as small business owners — the struggles of growing an online shop, balancing art with entrepreneurship, and what it's really like to build something together as a couple. It's an honest, inspiring look at what it takes to keep creating when the world feels busy and competitive.
Incorporating handmade handicrafts into learning benefits children in a multitude of ways. It helps their developing fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, patience, and resilience. Sharing insights from the Charlotte Mason tradition, Edwina underscores the importance of creating useful and meaningful items. Edwina also provides practical tips for integrating handicrafts into the curriculum and suggests various projects, such as French knitting, sewing, and making Christmas ornaments to enhance children's learning experience beyond traditional pencil and paper methods.

What if the moment you finally decide to bet on yourself becomes the exact moment everything starts to shift? In this week's episode, I sit down with Chelsea, the owner of Familys Creations, the handmade wood-art brand known for its stunning multi-layer illuminated animal pieces and custom wooden U.S. travel maps that families treasure for generations. Chelsea shares how she moved past imposter syndrome, elevated her branding, strengthened her storytelling, and stepped into the version of herself who applies for the dream opportunities instead of talking herself out of them. And those big leaps? They paid off. Today she's hitting $4K+ months with one of her retail partners, and she even sold a $1,400 custom Highland cow piece that shipped all the way to South Carolina… something she once thought was “too big” for her. If you're in that space of wondering whether you're ready to grow, evolve, or go after what you really want… this conversation will remind you that readiness isn't a feeling, it's a choice. By the end of this episode, you'll learn: How Chelsea transformed a creative hobby into a profitable handmade business The mindset shifts required for big opportunities (and why perfection is never the point) What it actually takes to land your dream retail location The magic that happens when you stop saying yes to everything and start leading your business with intention At Family's Creations, Chelsea truly embodies their motto - Art That Tells a Story. She designs and hand-finishes layered wood art, lighted pieces, and home décor that often incorporate reclaimed wood. She blends modern elements, like a CO₂ laser for cutting, along with timeless, storytelling tools passed down from her husband's great-grandfather. Every piece is crafted with family, storytelling, memories, and the feeling of home in mind.LINKS MENTIONED IN TODAY'S EPISODEVisit Chelsea's website at www.fm-cs.comFollow Chelsea on Instagram: @familyscreationsllcLEARN MORE FROM MONICA LITTLEWebsite: www.monicalittlecoaching.comInstagram: @monicalittlecoachingJoin the Product Biz Academy waitlist to be first notified when doors open

Etsy's new CEO, Kruti Patel Goyal, just revealed her first major vision for the platform—and this could reshape how sellers grow, get traffic, and use AI on Etsy. I'm unpacking all the key takeaways, what they really mean for sellers, and what to expect next. Here's what I cover: • The leadership shift and what Kruti's past role tells us about Etsy's next phase • Etsy's plan to use AI to amplify human creativity, not replace it • How traffic and discovery are evolving (and how offsite ads + ChatGPT integration play in) • The truth about SEO changes—why shorter titles might help or hurt • The new enforcement push on handmade vs. AI-generated art • Fixes coming for seller support, international shipping, and multiple shop management • Etsy's roadmap for personalization features, analytics, and even in-person markets • My thoughts on whether these updates will help or hurt long-time sellers This is the breakdown every Etsy seller needs to stay ahead in 2025. #EtsyUpdate #EtsySellers #EtsySEO #EtsyGrowth #AIandEtsy Grow faster than 99% of Etsy shops

Hooked rugs are humble things made of recycled cloth and worn out textiles, originally born of need and lack: and yet they have come to mean much more to the communities that produced and enjoyed them. In America they have become an emblem of homespun pioneer thrift and self-reliance and an important element in the definition of a certain kind of national values. Handmade hooked rugs are the stuff of everyday life, but in Canada they became a vital form of income for impoverished seafaring families in Labrador and Newfoundland. And in northern England and southern Scotland they brightened up the hearth of many rural and urban working-class homes. But in the far north of the British Isles a very different tradition developed where sewn pile rugs came to play a role as vital protection for sleeping bodies against night time trolls and witches. Join us as we explore the many forms of hooky, proggy, proddy, clooty, clippy, stobby, and bodgy rugs that have spread around the world.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for November 4th Publish Date: November 4th PRE-ROLL: From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Tuesday, November 4th and Happy Birthday to Puff Daddy I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. Gas South District to host Gwinnett Glows tree lighting event Dacula teen and Gwinnett business owner join forces to spread warmth and hope this winter Cirque du Soleil’s ‘Luzia’ offers a dreamlike escape All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: 07.14.22 KIA MOG STORY 1: Gas South District to host Gwinnett Glows tree lighting event The Gas South District is kicking off the holiday season with its annual tree lighting on Nov. 21, right in front of the Gas South Convention Center. “Gwinnett Glows,” presented by Amazon, runs from 6 to 9 p.m. and is totally free. Expect food trucks, live entertainment, and all the festive vibes. Oh, and hot cocoa—because what’s a tree lighting without it? They’re also teaming up with Rainbow Village to help families in need. Bring a gift to donate to their Amazon Christmas Wishlist, or donate online if you can’t make it. What else? Handmade crafts, photo ops with the Pink Pig, and performances by local choirs. It’s going to be magical. STORY 2: Dacula teen and Gwinnett business owner join forces to spread warmth and hope this winter Fifteen-year-old Caden Jackson from Dacula High isn’t your average teenager. For the past decade—yes, since he was five—he’s been collecting coats, hats, gloves, and scarves to help kids stay warm in the winter. Through his nonprofit, Loved & Protected, he’s handed out nearly 9,000 pieces of winter gear to those in need. This year, he’s teaming up with Millie Habtemariam, owner of Full Circle Salon & Spa Suites in Suwanee, for the Winter Warmth Drive 2025. Their goal? Collect 5,000 coats, hats, and gloves by Dec. 31. Habtemariam’s salon is a drop-off spot, and she’s even giving donors a free “manifest candle” she makes herself. For Caden, it’s all about the joy. “Seeing kids’ faces light up when they get a new coat—it’s amazing,” he said. Caden’s dream? To take Loved & Protected nationwide.

So, the chance to stay put for a while? They’re loving it. Both performers are part of “Luzia,” Cirque’s stunning “waking dream of Mexico,” running at Atlantic Station from Nov. 6 to Jan. 25. That’s over 50 shows in one spot—an absolute luxury for these road warriors. “Luzia” is Aepli’s first Cirque show, and she’s living her childhood dream. She plays the running woman, performs swing-to-swing, hoop diving, and even pole dancing. Robinson, a Cirque veteran, appears as a hummingbird and also performs hoop diving and acropole. For tickets, visit cirquedusoleil.com/luzia. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: Ingles Markets 1 STORY 4: Parkview Grad Matt Olson Wins Third Gold Glove Award Parkview grad Matt Olson just added another piece of hardware to his already impressive career. On Sunday night, the Atlanta Braves’ first baseman snagged the Rawlings Gold Glove Award for the National League—his third overall. Olson beat out Bryce Harper and Spencer Steer for the honor, which was announced live on ESPN. He’s no stranger to this award, having won two Gold Gloves back in 2018 and 2019 with the Oakland A’s. This season? Olson was a rock. He played all 162 games, made just five errors in nearly 1,300 chances. Oh, and he’s now only the second Braves first baseman to win a Gold Glove, joining Freddie Freeman. Drafted straight out of high school by Oakland in 2012, Olson’s journey has been nothing short of remarkable. And now, he’s cementing his legacy with his hometown team. STORY 5: Lawrenceville may add more downtown parking near square If you’ve ever circled downtown Lawrenceville looking for a parking spot—especially during an event at the Lawrenceville Lawn—there might be some relief on the horizon. Maybe. The city just bought two properties on South Perry Street, near the AutoZone, for a combined $835,000. What’s the plan? Well, that’s still up in the air. Assistant City Manager Barry Mock hinted at a possible parking lot, saying the southwest side of downtown could use more spaces. But City Manager Chuck Warbington isn’t ruling out redevelopment either. Meanwhile, the city also snagged a truck repair shop on Reid Street for $300,000. It’s been there for decades, but officials want to “clean up” the area and hold the property for future redevelopment. As for the AutoZone? No plans to buy it—yet. Break 3: STORY 6: Gwinnett's Co-ops bracing for increased demand as SNAP benefits end Jackie Wells Smith, director of the Lilburn Co-op, says they’ve seen a steady uptick in families seeking help, especially seniors and working parents who rely on food stamps to make ends meet. “For these families, losing SNAP is like losing a paycheck,” she said. Other co-ops, like Southeast Gwinnett and North Gwinnett, are scrambling too. North Gwinnett is shifting to a twice-a-month food distribution model to manage demand. Gwinnett County is stepping in with $250,000 to help co-ops handle the surge, but the need is overwhelming. “We’re planning for a 25% increase,” Smith said, “but honestly, I think it’ll be more.” Donations of food, hygiene items, and money are desperately needed. Co-ops are asking the community to step up—because the families coming through their doors have no other options. STORY 7: Aurora Theatre ready to celebrate 30 years of Christmas Canteen Thanksgiving’s still weeks away, but the Aurora Theatre? They’re already decking the halls. Their beloved holiday tradition, *Christmas Canteen*, returns Nov. 28 through Dec. 21, and this year’s show promises something extra special: a horn section joining the orchestra for the first time. Think big, brassy, and festive. Now in its 30th season, *Christmas Canteen* is a high-energy mix of dazzling dance, laugh-out-loud comedy, and music that’ll stick in your head long after the curtain falls. But this year’s show is bittersweet—it’s the final one under the musical direction of Ann-Carol Pence, Aurora’s co-founder. What started in 1996 as a WWII-era tribute has grown into a multigenerational tradition, blending Big Band nostalgia with modern carols, comedy, and heartfelt moments. Tickets are on sale now at auroratheatre.com. Don’t wait—this one’s a holiday must-see.

In this week's episode, Jessica Rose and Anna Campbell explore the unexpected advantages behind the rising costs of silver and gold. While many jewellers worry about affordability and holding stock, Jessica and Anna reveal that these changes can actually strengthen your business and the handmade jewellery industry as a whole. They discuss seven key benefits, including: - The increased inherent value of your jewellery - customers now see handmade pieces as not only beautiful but a smart long-term investment. - A boost in the value of any metal stock you already own - some jewellers have seen their materials rise by around 50%, leading to higher profits when priced correctly. - Rising prices encourage better pricing confidence and healthier profit margins across the industry, moving away from undercharging. - More customers are looking to resell, recycle or redesign their old jewellery - creating new opportunities for bespoke services and lasting client relationships. - Despite higher prices, demand for gold and silver jewellery remains strong, driven by design, desire, and personal connection—not just cost. - Small independent jewellers now stand out more clearly from high-street brands, as mass-produced copies become harder to make in precious metals. - Hallmarking gains value, giving customers reassurance and proof of authenticity as they invest in higher-priced pieces. The episode ends with a powerful reminder: adopting a positive mindset and valuing your role as a maker is key to growth. Now is the time to embrace opportunity, build trust, and create jewellery with confidence.

Fluent Fiction - Dutch: Unearthing Hidden Treasures: Sanne's Santorini Adventure Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/nl/episode/2025-10-11-22-34-02-nl Story Transcript:Nl: De zon scheen helder op het eiland Santorini.En: The sun shone brightly on the island of Santorini.Nl: De lucht was strakblauw en de zee kabbelde zachtjes tegen de rotsen.En: The sky was clear blue, and the sea lapped gently against the rocks.Nl: Het was herfst, maar het voelde als een perfecte zomerdag.En: It was autumn, but it felt like a perfect summer day.Nl: Sanne, een enthousiaste reiziger, liep samen met haar vrienden Bram en Lotte door de wirwar van smalle straatjes in het bruisende marktgebied.En: Sanne, an enthusiastic traveler, walked with her friends Bram and Lotte through the maze of narrow streets in the bustling market area.Nl: De markten waren een feest voor de zintuigen.En: The markets were a feast for the senses.Nl: Overal waren felle kleuren van groente- en fruitstalletjes.En: Everywhere there were bright colors from vegetable and fruit stalls.Nl: De geur van versgebakken brood en kruiden vulde de lucht.En: The smell of freshly baked bread and spices filled the air.Nl: De verkopers riepen luid hun koopwaar aan en de stemmen van toeristen klonken door de nauwe straatjes.En: The vendors loudly advertised their goods, and the voices of tourists echoed through the narrow streets.Nl: Sanne zocht naar een speciaal souvenir, iets dat Santorini's charme zou vangen.En: Sanne was searching for a special souvenir, something that would capture Santorini's charm.Nl: Maar Sanne voelde zich overweldigd.En: But Sanne felt overwhelmed.Nl: De drukte, de hitte en de vele toeristische prullaria maakten het moeilijk om iets bijzonders te vinden.En: The crowds, the heat, and the many tourist trinkets made it difficult to find something special.Nl: Ze wist dat de tijd drong.En: She knew that time was running out.Nl: Over een paar uur moesten ze hun ferry halen.En: In a few hours, they had to catch their ferry.Nl: "Misschien moeten we een andere route proberen," stelde Bram voor, terwijl hij naar een smalle zijstraat wees.En: “Maybe we should try a different route,” Bram suggested, pointing to a narrow side street.Nl: Lotte knikte instemmend.En: Lotte nodded in agreement.Nl: "Ja, laten we het daar proberen," zei ze.En: “Yes, let's try there,” she said.Nl: Sanne besloot het advies te volgen en leidde de groep de rustiger zijstraat in.En: Sanne decided to follow the advice and led the group into the quieter side street.Nl: De drukte verdween langzaam terwijl ze verder liepen.En: The hustle and bustle faded slowly as they walked further.Nl: Uiteindelijk kwamen ze bij een klein, ietwat verborgen winkeltje.En: Eventually, they came upon a small, somewhat hidden shop.Nl: Voor de deur zat een oude man, zijn handen bezig met het beschilderen van een schaal.En: In front of the door sat an old man, his hands busy painting a bowl.Nl: Sanne stapte naar binnen en keek ademloos rond.En: Sanne stepped inside and looked around breathlessly.Nl: De muren waren vol met prachtige handgemaakte keramische stukken.En: The walls were full of beautiful handmade ceramic pieces.Nl: Een bordje met de woorden "Handgemaakt met liefde" hing boven de ingang.En: A sign with the words "Handgemaakt met liefde" ("Handmade with love") hung above the entrance.Nl: "Wat een vondst," fluisterde ze tegen zichzelf.En: “What a find,” she whispered to herself.Nl: Haar ogen vielen op een prachtige, handgeschilderde keramische schaal.En: Her eyes fell on a beautiful, hand-painted ceramic bowl.Nl: De blauwe en witte tinten van Santorini sprongen eruit.En: The blue and white tones of Santorini stood out.Nl: Ze voelde dat dit het perfecte aandenken was aan haar reis.En: She felt that this was the perfect memento of her trip.Nl: "Dit is precies wat ik zocht," zei Sanne tegen de winkelier.En: “This is exactly what I was looking for,” said Sanne to the shopkeeper.Nl: Ze sprak met de man en ontdekte dat hij al vijftig jaar bezig was met keramiek.En: She spoke with the man and discovered that he had been working with ceramics for fifty years.Nl: Ze kocht de schaal, verheugd om iets authentieks mee naar huis te nemen.En: She bought the bowl, delighted to take something authentic home with her.Nl: Terwijl ze richting de haven liepen, hield Sanne de schaal voorzichtig vast.En: As they walked toward the harbor, Sanne held the bowl carefully.Nl: Ze was blij en tevreden.En: She was happy and content.Nl: Het avontuur in de rustige steegjes had haar iets kostbaars opgeleverd.En: The adventure in the quiet alleys had given her something precious.Nl: Niet alleen een souvenir, maar ook een herinnering aan de rijkdom van lokale cultuur en ambacht.En: Not just a souvenir, but also a memory of the wealth of local culture and craftsmanship.Nl: Sanne glimlachte naar Bram en Lotte.En: Sanne smiled at Bram and Lotte.Nl: "Ik zal dit nooit vergeten," zei ze.En: “I will never forget this,” she said.Nl: Door dit kleine avontuur leerde Sanne de waarde van echte ontdekkingen kennen, iets wat haar reis nog specialer maakte.En: Through this small adventure, Sanne learned the value of true discoveries, something that made her journey even more special.

In 1985, Bob Steuding published The Last of the Handmade Dams: The Story of the Ashokan Reservoir, a historically rich account of the building of the Ashokan Reservoir—and the lives displaced in its wake. Forty years later, the book remains a cornerstone of Catskills regional history and the inaugural title from Purple Mountain Press.In this episode, we visit Bob and Martha Steuding at their 18th-century stone farmhouse near the reservoir. Literary correspondent Rebecca Rego Barry sits down with Bob to reflect on a life rooted in place, the founding of Purple Mountain Press, and the emotional legacy of a dam that reshaped a landscape—and the lives within it.
