I've been holding onto the January Patreon yarn, h I've been holding onto the January Patreon yarn, hoping to have time to rewrite the folk tale it's based on, but I still haven't had time - and I'm itching to get these lovelies in the mail. Here's a sneak peek black-and-white photo of the yarn..... stay tuned for the in-color version!
Forest Moon (https://www.haldecraft.com/products/f Forest Moon (https://www.haldecraft.com/products/forest-moon). So, here's a question for you fellow Star Wars fans. Did you grow up calling it the "Forest Moon of Endor" meaning, it is a moon covered in forests that orbits the planet Endor? Or did you call it "Forest Moon of Endor" meaning that the moon's name is Endor and it happens to be forested? Either way, if you love the greens and browns of a heavy forest, this is the yarn for you.

I am a rock; I am an island

I am a rock; I am an island

Lorena March 29, 2020 Navel GazingLeave a comment

I’ve been listening to a lot of Simon & Garfunkel this week. Not directly on purpose, although I do like them. I have a Spotify playlist that has some of their music, and another playlist with some covers of their music, and I guess because of that (and I’ve been …

Lorena March 25, 2020 This Week in HaldeCraftLeave a comment

Yeah. So. Right. How’s everyone doing? It is powerfully, heavily difficult to not feel like this is some sort of horrifying social sea change. If the entire world could take a two-week vacation right now, and let all of this blow over? Let the disease die out by not giving …

It’s OK to not be OK right now

Lorena March 22, 2020 Ramblings5 Comments

So. Hey. How are you doing? I’m running the gamut from totally fine to completely tharn. I’m just going to assume that you are, too? Psst — come closer, I have a secret — that’s OK. It’s OK to not feel OK right now. (It’s also OK to feel OK.) …

No matter how scruffy-looking you might be, or whatever type of weird animal you might herd, you’re going to love this colorway! Go ahead, grab one first; then go tooling around the galaxy in some hunk of junk. Smuggle some things, become best friends with a walking teddy bear, maybe …

Good thing I read so much dystopian science fiction growing up

Good thing I read so much dystopian science fiction growing up

Lorena March 20, 2020 RamblingsOne Comment

Granted, mostly what I read was post-nuclear war fiction, and not pandemic/epidemics. But still. Alas, Babylon and Farnham’s Freehold were my two favorites. Babylon was set close to my area in Florida, so I always felt a connection of “holy shit, this is what I could do to survive” with …

March, so far, by the numbers

Lorena March 12, 2020 Ramblings3 Comments

Day I think it is because it can’t possibly be the 12th: the 2nd. Day it is in my head because I plan so far ahead: the 23rd. Number of times in the last week the steering on Truckenstein gave out: 1 Number of dudes it took to maneuver Truckenstein …

My focuses this week are trying to focus, writing, dyeing yarn, making ceramics, and trying to focus (ha!). Anyway. Let’s get to it! In ceramics, I have two main things going on this week – playing with shapes and textures, and making a new set of magnets involving the word …

What day is it? Thursday? Of next week?

Lorena March 8, 2020 My Random Life2 Comments

We used to have a thing we said in our department when I worked at the Enginerding company… when everything is important, nothing is important. I feel that way right now – everything that’s on my list is something super important and shit needs to get done… so I think …
