Gainesville
Remember when Jag and Antony came to visit? One day we all went out to Paynes Prairie and Lake Wauburg. We walked trails and snuck out to see the horses and … is “snuck” a word? SpellCheck wants me to change it to “sneaked” but I think “snuck” is reasonable. Past tense of “sneak,” right? [...]
Many long-time readers know what a big Indigo Girls fan I am. Last week, Amy Ray (1/2 of the IG) came and did a solo show in Gainesville, and the icing on the cupcake of that wonderfulness was a small talk and meet-and-greet at Wild Iris the next day. 1. Maria Carter at Double Down, [...]
Last night I saw Amy Ray (one half of the Indigo Girls, who y’all know I live for). Backed by The Butchies, it was a rocking show! Busy, back soon!
On Friday, Laura and I had plans to go to lunch together. We were going to go to Bahn Thai, where we had plans to get the craziest, most delicious sushi. Now, y’all may know that I’m a picky eater, and one of my triggers is the texture of food. So you wouldn’t think that [...]

I’ve already posted about this over on Ravelry (in the new HaldeCraft group, shout out to mah yarnies, yo!) but wanted to make a blog post about it as well, just in case anyone isn’t on Ravelry. OK, so let me start with my apologies for my lack of total-spot-on information; Erica has told me [...]
Last night was our friend Mariana’s photography opening at Tasty Buddha; they do a rotating artist (I think on a quarterly basis) and while of course the artist makes money, some proceeds also go to a different charity every year. Their charity this year is the Pace Center for Girls, and they said last night that this [...]
If you’re an old-school Gainesvillian, you are now cursing me. Hee hee hee. You should see the look on Tim’s face when I bust that tune out… it’s total revenge for every time he makes that damn phone noise. Here’s my lunch from the Faire; “ye old fruit and cheese plate” coupled with an orange [...]

Yesterday was a throwback to the start of the year; hanging out with good friends and eating great food. Lynn came up from “down South” (and I say it like it’s a million miles away but it’s like, an hour) and helped me to wrap soap (a day off for her, and a big help [...]
Friday’s kiln firing. All four of those messily wrapped mugs will show up for sale soon. One thing I noticed yesterday is that by cleaning greenware every Saturday, but only loading the kiln up to fire every other Saturday, it doesn’t take as long to get work done! I mean, it does; it still takes [...]
In just a couple of hours I will be bringing in a good-sized order of soap to Wild Iris Books (802 West University Avenue, and have I mentioned recently the great cafe, Cafe Colette, that’s gone into the back of the bookstore?). I’ve gone ahead and added the soap already to my online shop with [...]
