On apologizing and making amends

Works-in-Progress Wednesday (11/15/17)
It’s been a long day, y’all; I’ve gotten November yarn club out today (since I’m using a new postage client there was a bit more data entry than usual so it took a couple hours more than it normally does) and I’ve been catching up on behind-the-scenes things. But what …
How much email do you get from HaldeCraft?
I have a question for anyone who’s purchased and had something shipped in the last two weeks or so – and this is because I am honestly curious and this is not something I can see from the back end of my website – how many emails do you get …

Five recent new and restocked things at HaldeCraft
I have to come clean, y’all, I actually made this graphic about three weeks ago… and then promptly sold out of one of the things on it, and didn’t feel right about writing a blog post until I could get more of them made. So here are five things you …

If I’m a day late writing my Wip Wednesday post next week, I’m going to have to change the graphic I use! In ceramics I’m listing a ton of Tiki mugs this week. OK, I exaggerate… it’s probably only about 20 lbs or so. But it feels like a lot! …
