My Cool Friends

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 [...]

I didn’t take a picture on Thursday; I thought about it a couple of times but all I was doing was wrapping soap, and I’d think about how to artfully arrange my work to get a pretty picture and then I’d get sidetracked. So then I didn’t put up a post yesterday about what I [...]

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 [...]

I’m kind of glad Tim took a sick day yesterday because I had on my schedule to fire the kiln and it wasn’t until it had been running for a couple hours that I found out I had all sorts of unexpected errands. Him being home meant I could safely leave without worrying about burning [...]

Yesterday was Tim’s birthday, and I am here to tell you that he ate well! We all went to Satchel’s for lunch (getting there before him to get a table and place an order for our “invisible friend”) and although Tim had to rush back to work, the rest of us walked through Lighting Salvage [...]

Good times, y’all. Yesterday continued the trend of the year so far; eating great food and spending quality time with people I love. We met up for lunch at Chopstix (where they’ve redone the sushi bar and y’all, SWANK!) and then went off to walk around the part of Payne’s Prairie with the 50-foot observation [...]

On the 31st we met for lunch at the cafe inside Books, Inc – one of the last three independently owned bookstores in town. They’re closing, and we wanted to see it one last time. This is the Science Fiction and Fantasy room, where I have bought many a book and spent many an hour [...]

Nommy delicious goodness is nommy and delicious. Pasta, spinach, and mushrooms. Mix with garlic, olive oil, and pepper. Eat heartily. We had dinner with the fam’ last night – Aunt Gay and Uncle Joe and Mike and Sharon and Jag and Antony. Tim is feeling a little under the weather so he was fading fast [...]

Yarn: String Theory Colorworks in “Resistor” Pattern: Hypothesis by Lorena Haldeman Notes: Earlier this year, I started talking with my friend Caitlin, of String Theory Colorworks, about doing a pattern for her self-striping yarns in which the pattern would change every time there was a color change. I thought it would be easy and fun. It was [...]

Yesterday during the day I got a lot of work done — dogs waking me up at 2 in the morning meant that my work day was almost over by the time the sun rose. I went ahead and fired the kiln, caught up on some background HaldeCraft things, and cleaned up just a titch. [...]
