Instagram post 17931893869326613 Day Six! The cheese is something called "hot and spicy" (maybe a cheddar base? All I can taste, really, is heat) and the tea is Spiced Chai. Definitely a hot evening! I added a little Jack Daniels because y'all, it's been a long day. Oh, and mug is by HaldeCraft, do I even need to say that?
Instagram post 18115497748030278 Pretty in Pink (https://www.haldecraft.com/collections/yarn/products/pretty-in-pink). The pink of a little girl's bedroom. Tutus and tights and dance shoes. Molly Ringwald, sewing her own prom dress to the soundtrack of Suzanne Vega and The Psychedelic Furs. A shade of pink that is equally happy being matched with warm pastels or a solid, deep black. This tonal, semi-solid pink is the kind of color that proves you can be pretty and strong at the same time; beautiful and tough, adorable and saucy.
Instagram post 18112982749070871 Speaking of things I'm probably not going to finish before the end of this holiday season.... I think it's safe to say that if these aren't painted by now, they're not going to be online before the end of December. Sigh. I'm definitely feeling regret that I have not been able to get to everything that I wanted to, get everything finished that I planned on. Maybe I should bring this up with myself at my annual review....!
Instagram post 18118107298037376 Yep. Definitely not going to finish these before GLAM. I'm probably looking at a good two weeks from today as an ETA, at the earliest. Sigh. Bit off a little more than I could chew, this season? Maybe?
Instagram post 17942658148311274 Who likes red and purple, so dark in places it's almost black?! This One Hit Wonder in sock weight base Tiptree (https://www.haldecraft.com/collections/yarn/products/one-hit-wonder?variant=7772181856284) needs a good home. Think you can handle this one?
Instagram post 17877835687484101 Two of these three cuties are on their way to their new homes!
Instagram post 18116551729047464 Day Five! Today's tea is Hibiscus and the cheese is herbed gouda. Gouda is good any time, but the herbs really softened it up even more. The soft fruity tea was a nice compliment to that. #advent #cheesevent #teavent

The January #planwithmechallenge (days 1-5)

Lorena January 25, 2016 HaldeCraft3 Comments

If you follow me on Instagram, you know I’ve been doing this challenge (geared towards planner nerds) called the #planwithmechallenge. I haven’t been cross-posting it to the HaldeCraft Facebook and Google + pages because it’s not really work related… well, it kind of is, in that I use my Bullet Journal …

What are you working on this week? This week I’ve mailed ALL THE THINGS, and after that I am just waffling between not having energy to do anything and thus staring at the window, and cleaning ceramics. Yay, ceramics! In ceramics, I’m cleaning greenware, trying to get enough to fire …

Crafts & Drafts: A HaldeCraft open house (01/16/15)

Lorena January 17, 2016 EventsOne Comment

Yesterday we had the first HaldeCraft open house/crafternoon/Crafts & Drafts, and even though I’m a one-woman show I do say “we” because I could not have done it without help. And you all know that by “help” I mean “That Poor Man” who really went above and beyond to make …

Five new and restocked items at HaldeCraft this week

Lorena January 15, 2016 Shop UpdatesLeave a comment

Mostly restocks, but how would you yarnies like a new, limited-edition colorway in a few different base yarns? Blue Sun in Andre; everyone’s favorite electric blue in everyone’s favorite workhorse of a fingering-weight yarn. Butter Dishes, which I can hardly keep in stock! If you like these utilitarian pieces, good …

What are you working on this week? This week my main focus is yarn, with a few minutes here and there for ceramics as I can fit that in (y’all know how I’ll do almost anything to fit in a few minutes of ceramics).

Five things HaldeCraft did wrong in 2015

Lorena January 8, 2016 HaldeCraft5 Comments

… and that I’ll probably do “wrong” in 2016 because ultimately, while the five things I’m highlighting here go against most conventional business advice and wisdom, I did them in ways that work for me.

Welcome to the start of a new year! Is it fresh? Is it new? I was having a stellar start to the year until my dogs (remember last year how I broke my hand, breaking up a dog fight?) got into another fight yesterday. Fortunately it was in my husband’s …
