When I used to work in the document production department at an Engineering company, we had an unofficial slogan (ok, we had lots of them, but this is about a particular one). When people ran in and said, “I need this right away! It’s got lots of markups! Don’t miss …
Right now, in this family (and in that I count my close circle of friends, because I make no less a lifetime commitment to them than I do to actual relatives) there are three people with torn rotator cuffs, one person with cancer who’s just started treatment, one person with …
I’ve been hinting that I’m going to do something a little different with yarn club. Or, rather, yarn club is going to be taking a little hiatus while I work on something I’ve been wanting to do for a while but haven’t been able to carve out the time for. …
This week only, two seahorse dishes that got the wrong glaze on them! My crowded table and inability to keep track of what I’m doing means that you have the chance to grab something special! These trays are glazed with non-toxic glazes, and can be washed with hot soapy water or …
Whew! It’s been a heck of a couple of weeks, y’all. I’ve had a lot of restocks and a couple of new things peppered in here and there, but thought I’d put them all in one place in case anyone missed anything! Lots of soap, some ceramics, a bit of …
New in the shop (well, I’ve had them once before, as a limited item; now they’re regulars!)… gradient sock blanks! These are the five colors that have been chosen. An experiment in gradient colors, these sock blanks go from dark to light to dark again, and will give whatever you …
What are you working on this week? I’m working on not overworking myself, since I’m finally feeling better…. I thought I was feeling better a couple of weeks ago and jumped back into a full schedule, and that’s when I came down with Bronchitis. So. No overdoing it, me! In …
I just put February’s yarn club in the mail, and that means I can blog about January’s color! The theme this time around is inspired by Vincent van Gogh, and I’m starting off with one of his earlier, not-as-well-known pieces. While his later, lighter, brighter paintings are what he’s most …
I just got done saying that I don’t walk the dogs any more, since moving out here to the country, but then it occurred to me that the last week or so I have been walking Max down to the mailbox and back a couple of times a day. When …
This week only, kind of like the Island of Misfit Toys (what, Rankin/Bass Christmas specials aren’t as popular with you as they are in my head?!), we have some custom orders that didn’t quite work out. Someone else’s “not quite right for me” equals unique items for you! Jumbo Cabled …
I should probably do this in my bullet journal – but this place is also an extension of my brain, and also some of you may want the ends of stories I’ve started to tell you but I’ve forgotten. So feel free to chime in! In no particular order, here’s …
OK; Project Blog Merge is going well…. while I was on the fence between importing HaldeBlog into Snarkland, or the other way around… after Blog Thunderdome this morning, Snarkland won just because HaldeBlog wouldn’t import correctly. So. Import of all HaldeBlog posts here on Snarkland is complete… I am still …
So, I’ve been thinking about this alllllllllllllll day, while glazing ceramics, and I’m not really any closer to an answer. I mean, I feel like the simplest thing is to combine blogs, and just go forward with one (and the upcoming Patreon) moving forward. WordPress even has a really easy …
Dear Goddamn Diary; Let’s have, as my friend Becca says about her knitting sometimes, a “come to Jesus” moment. We need to talk about your future. I don’t want to be one of those bloggers who posts every couple of months and the first paragraph is all, “whoa, what’s happened …
Did you catch the January limited edition soap when it was released last week? Lavender Coconut, y’all! The best of both fruity and floral worlds! Creamy coconut, bergamot and lavender, just a titch of vanilla, and a hint of salty sea air to freshen. This is a light, clean fragrance! …
This week only, something that is probably only going to appeal to one person, but to that person, THIS IS EVERYTHING. A set of ceramic “crinkle” cups; one adult and three kid sizes (or one beer and three shot glasses – we’re not here to judge). When sold individually these …
