We’re just about two days away from the best craft show in Gainesville – GLAM! A picture is worth a thousand words, and I’m too tired to write a few thousand words tonight… so here’s a slideshow of some awesome things I’ve been working on that I’ll have with me …
Pretty much exactly what it says in the title, kids. The next HaldeCrate, which will ship in February, has a theme of Mardi Gras…. and pre-orders are open now. What is HaldeCrate? Do you like clubs, or things you order for yourself and then immediately forget about, meaning you get …
It’s the week after HaldeCrate and the week before Thanksgiving, and so I’m recovering from the one, planning for the other, and of course trying to get things ready for GLAM on December 8th. In ceramics, I’m slabrolling a bunch of chocolate clay dishes this week, to have them ready …
Hey all! I still am not quite ready to get into all of the things that went wrong when making this Crate (talk about a Series of Unfortunate Events… one day I’m sure I’ll be able to laugh about it with you all!) but it’s been a few days now …
Do you miss yarn club? Just getting yarn? Getting yarn once a month as a surprise to yourself (even though sure, you saw the notification for your credit card, but hey, YARN!)? I have a little surprise for you… Over on Patreon, which (unlike my Shopify site) is easily set …
Hahahaha! I actually wrote this early early early this morning, got busy, and then totally forgot to post it until now. Hey, all! This week I am 103% HaldeCrate! In ceramics, I bisque fired the kiln Sunday, Shop Elf came out and helped me glaze Monday and we were able …
This week I just about have a permanent finger-swipe of clay on the upper outside right part of my glasses… I take them off to work on detail work – I’m nearsighted so my glasses are better for things more than about six feet away from me – but then …
It’s been a busy week, y’all, and arguably not as productive as I would like, but… sometimes you get the week you need, not the week you want. In ceramics I’m busy slabrolling the snack trays for the upcoming HaldeCrate, and I need to get on the mugs. I’m also …
Time for a little update on the Snow Flurries HaldeCrate – with the exception of the soap dish, samples of everything are now available to drool over. Pre-orders for this crate (located here) will be available through Friday, November 1st, and will ship on Friday, November 15th. At that point, …
Honestly this week mostly what I feel I’ve worked on is … getting ready for work. I’ve staged a lot of things (bisque I want to get glazed and fired over the next month)… I’ve planned a lot of things (slab-rolled pieces I need to get made over the next …
Who’s got two thumbs and came back from Fiber-in with a bunch of soap? THIS GIRL. The soap sold well but as usual, I made way more than I needed to…. so my miscalculation is y’all’s gain. So, introducing, until sold out… Triple Butter Soap. This is a luxurious blend …
Let’s talk about hand lotion! Hand lotion is now made only a couple of times a year, outside of HaldeCrate options. Fragrances, available in 2-ounce bottles, will vary from batch to batch, and once sold out are not guaranteed to be restocked next batch. Larger 8-ounce bottles are available for …
Whew. Another one in the books, y’all! Friday we got there with more than enough time to set up and scoot out over to Sanaa at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge for dinner. Setting up was…. well, when is setting up ever truly easy? There was a … misunderstanding … with …
Hey, all! I have a lot going on in September so I wanted to just put it all into a blog post to try to make it easy for people to find out when I’m working and not working this month. Obviously I am in the “office” right now (by …
The sky is bright blue. Then ’round about mid-afternoon, a few white clouds drift in around the edges of the horizon. Maybe a handful of wisps blow across the sky. More of them bunch up, getting darker, eventually they all meet each other and are hiding the blue. Soon the …
As with the Honeycomb Collection, the mugs of the Skull Collection are undergoing some revamping… y’all are going to love the final design. Meanwhile, check these out…..! In this first batch, there are some small octagon dishes, medium octagon dishes, soap dishes, small square dishes, stick incense burners, and soap …
Pre-orders for this crate (located here) will be available through Friday, November 1st, and will ship on Friday, November 15th. At that point, a limited number of extra mugs, snack dishes, soap dishes, soap sets, and yarns will be listed and they will remain available until sold out. What do …
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, …
Hey, all! How are you doing this week? How’s your week going? I’m mostly about ceramics this week…. painting, glazing, slab-rolling, and planning and plotting. Not too much I can really talk about that’s coming up, but… soon! Soooooon! In soap, I have some that needs to be wrapped, as …
The mugs haven’t quite caught up to the rest of the collection yet, but they’ll be here soon! Meanwhile, take a look at what’s available from Round One of the Honeycomb Collection…! There’s a small and medium octagon dish, a small square dish, and a soap dish. Coming soon, mugs… …

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 …
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 …
