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!

It’s Wednesday again already? How does that happen? CALENDARS. More confusing than magnets. How do they work?! ANYWAY. Here’s a little about what I’m up to this week… Most of my energy is going to ceramics this week; I’m obsessed with handbuilding again, making some fun things to bring to …

Why, when asking for advice on something… say, “are these apples any good?” is the first answer some people go to something along the lines of “if you’ve bought bad apples in the past that’s on you, and the question you should really be asking is Why Haven’t You Tried …

No, really. Last week kind of flew by. The torts are absolutely loving their new home, and I still haven’t even made it as awesome as I have plans for. And they’re so happy with the plants I put in there for them (spider plants, aloe, and a few other …

This week is a curious mix of “all of the things” and “none of the things” – I spent both Monday and Tuesday in Gainesville, running errands and catching up with friends. For some reason today feels like a weekend day, which makes ZERO sense. Mostly this week I am …

I can somewhat understand how people think they have missing time; I mean, I’m sure it’s not aliens, it’s just being busy… but still. Where does the time go? I am pretty sure I did not nap my week away, but I can’t speak for this guy. Mostly all he …

Did you know that every social media site with a logo/social media icon has a page with appropriate icons you can use and how you can (and can’t) use them? They usually call it the “best practices” page. I’ve now read through so many TOSes and gone back and forth …

Welcome to the recap post that should have gone up Friday! Every time I’ve gone to upload since Friday, it’s been raining, which means our Internet has gone out. Internet that goes out whenever it’s rainy or very overcast is totally not frustrating when you have a job that’s online. …

I blame Julia Cameron, training me on brain dumps with those damn morning pages. Three pages, by hand, every day, brain dump. It clears the mind and gives focus, but also… it has taught me how to work things out by writing them down. This is probably why people tell …
