Third in my series on friend’s Etsy shops (Etsy Tuesday!) in my friend Ouida’s – Ouidamac. I’ve known Ouida for about five or six years now, ever since she started coming to Stitch-n-Bitch back when we were at Books, Inc. Back in the day, yo! Ouida is generous with her …
Yarn: Spritely Goods Limited Edition Sylph Sock Yarn Pattern: cowl; made it up as I went along.
Project: Pill boxes with birds on top Technique: The birds are painted, and then a clear glaze over everything. For Sale: I was kind of on the fence about selling these; they didn’t turn out quite as nicely as I envisioned. So I was going to post about them but …
Here’s a photo for Sharon. Yay, freaks! — Here’s a book for Alana. Yay, hoarders! — Here’s one for Quinn. Yay, Hello Kitty! — Here’s one for all my geek-loving friends. Yay, peaceful and humorous protests! — Here’s one for Erin. Yay, making thread! — Here’s one for Mariana and …
One of the little Etsy tips that I’ve heard and seems to work for a lot of people is rather than upload a bunch of stuff at once, space it out by uploading one thing a day. When I launched HaldeCraft a week to two ago, I wanted to get …
I think I forgot to post about this. We’d been watching an HBO series, Treme, with Aunt Gay, Uncle Joe, and Barbara. Every few weeks we’d get together for dinner and to watch an episode or two. We finally had time to watch the last two episodes, and clearly that …
Yarn: six different sock yarns; changed yarn every time I changed stitch patterns. Pattern: Faraway, So Close by Carina Spencer
I hope, Anne, that you don’t mind me posting about this! Project: Smiling Happy Buddha Technique: Painted, followed by a clear glaze For Sale: It was, for about 25 minutes! This was a special order for Anne, my very first custom Etsy order! Thank you so much, Anne, and I …
Yes, you may thank me for sharing. — Man dies; then his mom dies; then they are both eaten by cats. — OK, this one is kind of funny – car full of zombies crashes. — And this one is kind of sad – H.G. Wells short story competition gets …
Don’t forget – you can choose multiple answers, and add any I’ve forgotten!
Second in my series on pimping my friend’s Etsy shops is Funkaknits. Funny story first – usually I am horrible with names. But one day at the yarn store this girl (and by “girl” I mean “woman of indeterminate age who looks younger than me but old enough to by …
I have a set of molds for pouring ceramic figurines. It’s a set of six molds, two figurines to a mold, and they are titled by the name of the month. Each month has something vaguely to do with that month… for instance, off to the right here is December.The …
I really and sincerely want to thank the people who have already bought something from HaldeCraft; it means a lot to me that you’d support me, and I’m very lucky to have you. Now before I get too mushy, here are some of the first things that I’ve uploaded – …
This has been making the rounds, so I know I’m not the first of my friends to post it: Fuck Me, Ray Bradbury.(Oh yeah; NSFW) — I used to have one of these moving, light-up Bartenders as a kid. Which is a lot more creepy in retrospect (also in watching …
Project: Mother Mary as Ziggy Stardust Technique: Painted and clear glaze For Sale: Nope! This was a special order for my fabulous friend Mariana, who totally rocks my HaldeCraft logo. Thank you, dear!
In no particular order… Being Human – I love this show with big girly fangirl hearty hearts. It’s well-written, the actors are perfect and even the bit players chew through every scene. It’s a drama, but at times makes us laugh so hard (“we’re like, gay ninjas!”) that we have …
It’s blurry, but I don’t care – I managed to snap this just as the bee flew into the web and became breakfast. The rest of my 2010 photos can be viewed here.
Project: Virgin Mother Technique: Glazed in slightly crackled white For Sale: Ehhh… I was going to, but don’t like a spot on her back; I may hold onto her and sell her at a show where I can let someone talk me down on the price.
So, last night, a friend and I were talking about the greatest salad restaurant ever, Sweet Tomatoes, and lamenting the fact that there isn’t one in Gainesville. Seriously? With all the granola-crunchy hippies in this town there’s not a place to eat devoted to salads?! And she mentioned Crispers, and …
Speaking of Etsy, today I was featured on a treasury by Shanali Designs – Gargoyles in ways you’ve never seen before. If you are at all into gargoyles, go check it out! There are some really amazing and creative things in that list!
A few weeks ago I put a call out on Twitter for my friends with Etsy shops to send me their links; how funny that the first friend to answer was also my very first Etsy purchase – Christianne, from Scotts Mountain Crafts. I mean, I didn’t purchase her, but …
