What are you working on this week? I’m getting ready for GLAM on Sunday, and everything that I’m doing this week has some sort of relationship to that. Sunday, I started off the day with making approximately 100 tubes and tins of lip balm. I need to get those labeled – probably …

I got so much done yesterday I didn’t need to go back into the studio after dinner! I started off by (well, after blogging, and showering, and having breakfast) by unloading the bisque kiln and immediately putting everything that I’d finished glazing yesterday in the kiln. Then I loaded up …
I got a lot done yesterday, but I had to go back to work for about an hour after dinner to get it all accomplished. I got two coats of glaze on a table of bisque (I’d gotten the first coat on the day before), and also bisque fired the …
I’m firing the kiln today, and again Wednesday, and again Friday. It’s that time of year where I look at everything I make, and evaluate how long I’ve been glazing those things in the same color, and how tired am I of that color vs is it still selling, and …

Tim and I grabbed Jenn last night and went to go see an art opening – three friends of ours (actually, I think Jenn knew the woman who made the amazing wooden tables, so that makes four) were in one art opening, and how often does that happen?! OK, in …
I know, I know – last time I said I was feeling better, I got sicker and stayed that way for six days. But this time I think I might really be on the mend! I still have a little cough, and I’m the tiniest big congested… but I haven’t …
Don’t listen to me, I don’t know what I’m talking about. The last three to six days have been a whirlwind of throwing and trimming and glazing and sneezing. Not necessarily in that order. The good news is I’m getting 9-11 hours of sleep a night! The bad news is …
What are you working on this week? Mostly I’m trying to work on not still being sick, already, I mean, really, enough is enough! Other than pretending I’m not still sick, I’m madly working on ceramics. I thought about four days ago that I was fine, totally had enough for …

I grew up working retail. Not just like some of my friends, working counter jobs for beer money while they went to school, but full-on retail work. I planned to work in book stores, maybe even run my own, for the rest of my life. My first… let me count… …

… that’s just not even fair. Tim and I went out to dinner yesterday, and we swung by a drug store so I could pick up an expectorant. I felt it was time in my feeling better to switch from DayQuil to something with an expectorant, because I was getting …
That little kiln I bought has been making itself invaluable this week. Even though I’ve been sick – and I’m MUCH better today, thank you – I’ve been glazing a little and firing almost every day. Yesterday I fired some of the re-glazed tea infuser cups, and I did some …
Whew! Three nights with about eleven hours sleep each (it goes to eleven!) and finally today I feel a little more human. Today I should be able to fight off the lingering illness, and one more really good night of sleep….? Tomorrow I should feel like a new woman. Meanwhile, …
The night before last, I started to have a little rasp at the back of my throat. I don’t have time to get sick, I thought, so I’ll just take some Nyquil and sleep it off. Then I woke up yesterday morning with what felt like a flaming golf ball …
What are you working on this week? My primary focus this week is ceramics. I’ve got a couple of pieces that will finish drying today and then I’ll get them in the kiln and bisque fire tomorrow, and I’ll probably be firing at least twice a week from now through …

We went to Disney last week, and while we didn’t plan to go to The Happiest Place on Earth right after the election – we’d planned to go to the Celebration of Food & Wine the last week it was there – that’s how it played out. It was nice …

I was hoping to be able to copy and paste parts of a blog post I wrote years ago about all the volunteering I’ve done, but unfortunately it looks like I lost that post in the Great Blog Migration of 2007. Ugh. So, I used to be … I used …
Hey, all! Just a quick note to say that if you notice that HaldeCraft looks a little different… you haven’t gone mad! Yesterday, the site looked like this – And now it looks like this – Overall nothing has deeply changed, as far as products go (I did take the …
I have written and re-written paragraphs this morning about choosing love over fear, but I can’t make my words come out right this morning. I keep my ideals, because in spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart. – Anne Frank
