North Carolina Handmade: Crafts, Recovery, and Resilience

Shop the October update: https://www.macleansmyth.com/shop This video takes you inside my craft room as I prepare for my October 1st shop update. Living with dynamic disability, I share adaptive crafting techniques that make slow, intentional progress possible: stitching whimsical felt chicken and duck earrings, experimenting with fabric-covered frames, and planning for hand-painted beeswax candles. Along the way, I reflect on life in Western North Carolina one year after Hurricane Helene, and how creativity, resilience, and community show up in the recovery process. You’ll also see behind-the-scenes of batching work, navigating adhesives with chemical sensitivities, and balancing the polish of professional craftsmanship with the raw honesty of truly handmade work. If you’re drawn to unique gifts, seasonal crafting, or the creative process of running a small business with chronic illness, you’ll feel at home here. Subscribe to follow along as each shop update unfolds, one thoughtful step at a time. ___________________________________________________________________ 00:00 – Welcome & intro from my craft room 03:36 – Reflecting on Hurricane Helene & resilience in WNC 06:21 – Felt chicken + duck earrings: sewing & batching workflow 14:32 – Fabric frames: pairing fabrics & refining the process 17:39 – Adhesives + chemical sensitivities, plus a stationery sneak peek 26:11 – Fabric frames round two: progress & persistence 28:39 – Plans for hand-painted candles + pie bulletin boards 31:10 – Closing reflections & gratitude ______________________________________________________________________ My Social Links: Instagram - / macleansmyth Tik Tok - / macleansmyth Facebook - / macleansmyth Pinterest - / macleansmyth Find out more about my businesses: Maclean Smyth - www.macleansmyth.com Milkvetch Merch - milkvetchmerch.com Crafting Coven - www.craftingcoven.co Some Facebook groups I run that you might be interested in: Folks Who Farm and Forage - / folkswhofarmandforage Homesteading While Disabled - / homesteadingwhiledisabled Non-Toxic Homesteading - / nontoxichomesteading Thanks for watching!
