What is your favorite love story? It can be a movie, book, or even a couple you know in person.
Month: October 2011
Holiday HaldeSoapies
Last week I listed all of the holiday guest soaps I currently have; not to many than this are going to make an appearance… I mean, I’ll restock, but I’m not going to offer all six designs in all… oh… eighteen fragrances. That’s a lot of soap! So if you …
Evaluation
Long post ahead! Grab a drink! One thing that I DO NOT MISS about having a Real Job is yearly evaluations/performance reviews. Ugh. (OK, technically those are two things, and I should have used “are” rather than “is.”) Doing everything myself means – at least to me – that on …

Question of the Week
Are you good about RSVPs, and thank-you cards? Ugh. I’m usually the last person to RSVP just under the deadline, and I’m completely wretched with thank-you cards. It’s a wonder anyone ever asks me anywhere, or sends me any gifts!
Three weeks of HaldeCraft Ceramics to catch up on
Your regularly scheduled week-in-reviews have been upstaged by Disney Vacations and Just Generally Being Busy… so there’s a lot to catch up on. So much in fact that I’m going to break it up. Here is what’s new and relisted in ceramics — 1. Red oval planter – new item! …
Halloween HaldeSoap
Last call! Last call for Halloween HaldeSoap! Halloween is a week from tomorrow, and if you want Halloween soap to spook up your bathroom this is the last week to be able to get it in time. What do I still have available, you ask? Skulls- in Applejack, Candy Corn, …
Magic Kingdom is Magic
More vacation photos – let me show you them! [pictobrowser type=”flickr” albumID=”72157627898150014″] While at Disney, we got to the Magic Kingdom twice. The first time was Thursday morning, when they had what’s called “early morning magic hours” or something — basically, if you are staying in a resort hotel, one …
More of the same!
OK, so you’ve probably read about Tuesday and Wednesday. Let me tell you about yesterday, Thursday! Yesterday started off fine. I had the kiln going by 7:30 AM, and it’s a bisque fire which meant 9 hours — perfect timing for getting me out of the house to meet my …
Someone stole my brain and left me an Egg Roll
There is something about technology not working that makes HULK SMASH. I swear, when I turn something on and it doesn’t work, I get Lizard Brain. I will shake it and cry “MAKE WORK! THIS NO GO! MAKE GO!” even if I’m the only one in the room. Internet service …

Disney Boardwalk Villas (and Boardwalk in general)
So, when I called the Disney hotline to make reservations at The Dolphin (we’d stayed there before, it was nice, and it meets our requirement of being stumbling — er, walking distance — from Epcot…) the amazing operator on the phone got us a better rate at Boardwalk Villas (being …
Question of the Week
Have you ever called in a dedication on a radio show? (For those of us who remember that thing called “radio,” which I hear was killed by video… which in turn was ambushed by YouTube).

Question of the Week
Is there anything in your family, either physical or emotional (or genetic) that has been handed down through the generations? Why yes; yes there is. This lovely hutch, from my mother’s side of the family, bought new around 1850 or so.
Who’s getting a birthday Disney trip?
Well, this little girl in the video is. BUT SO AM I!!!! And my reaction was much like hers.
September is for Antony
Recently I bought some software to help me with writing knitting patterns (Intwined Pattern Studio) and in addition to charting out a few new patterns, I’m also using it to revisit and spruce up some of my older, free (and most popular) patterns. September is for Antony is now both …
Well so much for THAT blog post idea.
So, I DID have this idea for a blog post I was going to write this week about how I had downloaded this To-Do List app for FancyPants, called Astrid. It’s got both a phone app (so I can add things if I think of them away from home, or …
Friday Photo: Morning Sun through the Old Tree
Shake Rag has a beautiful tangle of old Live Oaks in front, and I don’t think I could ever get tired of photographing them. The rest of my 2011 daily photos can be viewed here.
Gainesville (Images of America: Florida)
Gainesville by Rob Hicks My rating: 5 of 5 stars I was pleasantly surprised by this book, although really I shouldn’t have — they had me at the front cover. I have lived in Gainesville for 32 years and have seen so many changes just in that time, so I …
Why can’t you have that by the end of the week?
In early September, I had to put a note out — I was full up on custom work and couldn’t take any more on until the beginning of October. That I was happy to talk to you about your needs, but I wouldn’t be able to start on anything until …
Amy and Isaac’s Wonderful Wedding Weekend
I can’t even tell you how much fun we had that weekend — the photos barely capture the love of family, the breathtaking scenery, and the companionship and friendliness of everyone involved. [pictobrowser type=”flickr” albumID=”72157627758540442″] If you’re in a Reader, you won’t see the album above. So you should click …
