Wednesday! It’s the new Monday! I think it’s hilarious that over the years we had the yarn store open, the only day of the week Hanks was closed was Tuesday, and that lead to many a “who’s closed on a TUESDAY” question from people who would show up mid-week needing …
Tatterhood. Let me tell you a story. A childless queen who wants children gives birth to two daughters. One is fair and beautiful, and the other is gray and hideous, and is born riding a goat and waving a wooden spoon. The sisters grow up to be the best of …
Good morning! As I’m writing this, I’m also watching Stargate SG1 — a little over a year ago, two friends and I started watching Babylon 5 when it began streaming. We did four episodes a week, starting early in the morning before work. After we finished all five years of …
What a week, y’all! I wound up postponing today’s dentist appointment just so there would be one day this week I didn’t have to drive into Gainesville, and I could put in a good strong day of work instead. In ceramics I’m doing some slab-work this week, getting ready to …
I sat down to write this blog post first thing in the morning, but noticed that last night I’d closed up shop without finishing the sort of comparison sheet I was drawing up for different mapping programs (I need some maps and would like some ship floor plans for my …
Everything for everyone in December seemed so busy, I know I didn’t have time to recap recently restocked items (and you probably wouldn’t have had time to read about them anyway). So let’s do a small recap of some recently new things that haven’t sold out! Colorful bowls – Inspired …
Most perfectionists and workaholics can agree with me, a lot of the time I don’t feel like I do that much — I feel like I should be always on the move, and everything I do, I should be doing at 103%. It’s posts like this that look back at …
Whoo-hoo! First full work-week of the year! Do mid-week holidays mess you up as much as they do me? I mean, I already have – at most – a tenuous idea of what day of the week it is. When everyone else I know is suddenly off work Tuesday and …
Let’s start the year off with a sale! For the entire month of January, get 20% off your $30 or more purchase of anything in the Tiki Collection (I’ve also added the coconut tumbler from the Monkey Fart crate to that collection for the sale, so, bonus!). That’s right – …
A “one hit wonder” is a non-repeatable colorway that happens when there is dye testing going on, or an accident happens in the dye-pots or something just doesn’t go quite as planned… BAM! Instant One Hit Wonder! This is your chance to snag a one-of-a-kind colorway, because these are not …
A year ago, I bought a new/used treadmill. New for me, bought it used at a weird used equipment sports shop that is hilariously in the same plaza as the best ice cream shop in town, haha. I didn’t really start using it on a regular basis until about April, …
I told someone I was thinking of listing out the things I wanted to make sure I get done in 2020, and they were like, “ugh, that sounds way too much like New Year’s Resolutions” and I had a moment of …. Really? Because I think of resolutions as one …
It’s time for my annual review! How did I do this year, y’all? Fantastic? Perfectly? Awesome! 37% raise! HAHAHAHAHAHA but really tho. I know I haven’t had a lot of time for blogging lately, so I wanted to do this out here in blogland instead of just in my planner, …
We’re just about two days away from the best craft show in Gainesville – GLAM! A picture is worth a thousand words, and I’m too tired to write a few thousand words tonight… so here’s a slideshow of some awesome things I’ve been working on that I’ll have with me …
Pretty much exactly what it says in the title, kids. The next HaldeCrate, which will ship in February, has a theme of Mardi Gras…. and pre-orders are open now. What is HaldeCrate? Do you like clubs, or things you order for yourself and then immediately forget about, meaning you get …
It’s the week after HaldeCrate and the week before Thanksgiving, and so I’m recovering from the one, planning for the other, and of course trying to get things ready for GLAM on December 8th. In ceramics, I’m slabrolling a bunch of chocolate clay dishes this week, to have them ready …
Hey all! I still am not quite ready to get into all of the things that went wrong when making this Crate (talk about a Series of Unfortunate Events… one day I’m sure I’ll be able to laugh about it with you all!) but it’s been a few days now …
Do you miss yarn club? Just getting yarn? Getting yarn once a month as a surprise to yourself (even though sure, you saw the notification for your credit card, but hey, YARN!)? I have a little surprise for you… Over on Patreon, which (unlike my Shopify site) is easily set …
Hahahaha! I actually wrote this early early early this morning, got busy, and then totally forgot to post it until now. Hey, all! This week I am 103% HaldeCrate! In ceramics, I bisque fired the kiln Sunday, Shop Elf came out and helped me glaze Monday and we were able …
Remember me talking about my fitness tracker throwdown earlier this year? Remember how I mentioned, when I got my first Leaf, that it wouldn’t sync with my phone no matter what? That I tried all of their fixes, nothing fixed it, and eventually they sent me a new one. Well. …
This week I just about have a permanent finger-swipe of clay on the upper outside right part of my glasses… I take them off to work on detail work – I’m nearsighted so my glasses are better for things more than about six feet away from me – but then …
Oh, shoot, I just remembered that someone Facebook messaged me the other night right before I went to sleep, about a custom order. I hate when I forget things like that, but man, Facebook, you do not make it easy for a girl! It’s not like I keep Facebook Messenger …
For those playing along at home, here’s the current state of the union. Over the last couple of days I’ve transferred all my photos taken from 1999-2018 to my laptop (poor thing is very, very full now). I don’t need them all, but thought it was easier to transfer everything …
It’s been a busy week, y’all, and arguably not as productive as I would like, but… sometimes you get the week you need, not the week you want. In ceramics I’m busy slabrolling the snack trays for the upcoming HaldeCrate, and I need to get on the mugs. I’m also …
