Recently restocked, again, because apparently I ca Recently restocked, again, because apparently I can't read my notes, more Champagne Sugar (https://www.haldecraft.com/products/champagne-sugar)! Champagne Sugar is an enigmatic soap; a little light, a little fruity, a little bit of citrus, a little sweet. Hints of jasmine, rose, and plum mix with lemon, orange, apple, and banana, and together they all smell amazing and lightly fresh. This is not an overpowering fragrance; you can definitely tell that it's scented before you even unwrap it, but the fragrance makes me think of a booth at a farmer's market full of fresh flowers and juicy fruit.
This One Hit Wonder is in Yolen (https://www.halde This One Hit Wonder is in Yolen (https://www.haldecraft.com/products/one-hit-wonder?variant=31886163509337). Yolen is a scrumptious luxury sock-weight yarn - 70% Superwash Merino/20%/Cashmere/10% Nylon, and comes in at 407 yards. She makes the softest socks and gloves!

Like a sweet summer afternoon, the fruity freshness of Blackberry Iced Tea is sure to please. A sweet fragrance without being overly sugary - the tea tarts it up just a bit - once you've used this soap you won't want anything else!

Cheap, quick, right; pick two

Cheap, quick, right; pick two

Lorena February 26, 2018 My Random LifeLeave a comment

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 …

Lorena February 24, 2018 My Random LifeLeave a comment

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 …

HaldeCrate: the next stage of yarn club

Lorena February 20, 2018 HaldeCrateLeave a comment

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: Seahorse dishes

Lorena February 19, 2018 FunctionalLeave a comment

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 …

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 …

January 2018 Yarn Club: Man Winding Yarn

Lorena February 13, 2018 Yarn2 Comments

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 …

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 …

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.

Here or there….?

Lorena February 9, 2018 HaldeCraft2 Comments

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 …
