Did I mention I accidentally bought a new phone the other week? I know. The picture has nothing to do with the post title. Have you ever tried to take a picture of your new phone, with your new phone? I was going into Gainesville to have lunch with Jenn …
Looking for something unique, something hand made, something quirky? Take a look at these mugs as they are made, a different mug every month for the year. Sometimes the decoration will be the main focus of the mug, sometimes a new glaze will be what catches your eye. Either way, …
I talked about my new planner here, and mentioned it here, but realized I never really got back into talking about it after I’d used it for a while. So here we go… an update on how I’m using the Rituals for Living Dreambook & Planner. First off, it fits …
Pre-orders shipped today, and that means that extras of the August HaldeCrate, Cats and Dogs, are now available. As I write this, there are two mugs, five coaster sets, three magnet sets, seven soap and lotion sets, and two of almost every base yarn. The mugs are that fun, organic …
I took yesterday off to go into the Big City and run errands, see friends… so I’m a little convinced that today must be Monday, haha. But it’s not! It’s Wednesday! I sort of feel like it’s one of those weeks before a big week… where I’m working on a …
I got THE BEST SPAM the other day, y’all – here’s a screenshot of it: If you can’t read that, it says “I don’t want to ruin your day, but I have a few pictures of your employees, [insert link that fuck no I didn’t click on, what the hell]. …
Oi, what a week, y’all! In ceramics, I’m talking about all the new things I’ve released this week (honeycomb and skull ceramics, and the August Mug of the Month) and I’m working on making new ones (and already making restocks! Thanks, y’all!). In soap, I’m making a list of soap …
Recently a friend was like, “you have to watch this!” and I was like, “I’ll add it to my list” and then I kind of cried a little inside. Y’all, I have a long list. I may never get through it. (Don’t feel guilty for recommending things to me, though! …
I got so much done yesterday it’s almost ridiculous. I packed up preorders. I packed up soap club. I uploaded all of my work social media for the week. I went through my website and added two categories, reworked the front page of HaldeCraft, and went through a few pages …
So much is coming in that in order to not miss anything, you’re getting a blog post today about what’s coming… then starting Monday I’ll sprinkle in a couple each day, and this time next week I’ll do a recap post (that I promise won’t be a copy/paste of this …
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 …
Seriously, where’s my day? I left it here on my desk this morning next to my purse, and I think someone came in and stole it. I swear I was just eating breakfast about ten minutes ago, and now I’m ready for a nap to get enough energy to eat …
Shhh, don’t tell my boss, but I’m sneaking off today to do down and visit my mom; I want to see in person the amazing quilts she’s working on, have a glass of her homemade wine while looking over her wild and lively back yard, and eat some good homemade …
Some days it’s even not raining, and I can write a blog post! I know I’ve been knocking on our internet (or lack of it) lately when really I should be grateful that we have internet out here in the sticks at all… but when your job is online, and …
Yesterday a project (setting up a new tortoise enclosure for the boys, who have outgrown their terrarium) that I thought would take two hours took eight, and I have a dentist appointment tomorrow and have to take That Poor Man to get his wisdom teeth out Friday, so my feeling …
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. …
… does anyone know any lyrics of that song other than those?! We’ve been getting some good soakers lately. Good for the garden, good for the aquifer, good for helping to put out wildfires. I saw on the Clay County Emergency Services page yesterday that they were working on four …
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 …
Whew, y’all, what a week! I woke up this morning and my first thought was “I’m so glad it’s Saturday, I can sleep a little late” followed immediately by “OH WAIT.” Hahaha. It’s a good week, don’t get me wrong – but I’m getting so much done it’s confusing me …
