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, …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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. …
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 …
Hey, all! Just a quick update with some pictures of finished products in the upcoming August HaldeCrate, Cats & Dogs. You remember what’s in the Cats and Dogs HaldeCrate? A skein of yarn in the base of your choice (from what is available); a set with soap (Puppy Kisses, milky and …
Shop Elf came out to the studio yesterday (it usually comes on Thursdays) so I’m a little convinced today is Friday… but it’s not! It’s Wednesday! And that means we talk about What’s In Progress. WiP Wednesday started off as a weekly conversation prompt over in my Ravelry group. I …
So many slab-rolled ceramics this week! It’s messy and fun in the studio these days. So messy. AND SO FUN! In ceramics, I’m having so much fun! Er, I mean, I’m working so hard! Haha! I’ve gotten a few new texture rolling pins and I just can’t stop myself from …
A lot of restocks were sprinkled in with everything else this week, so in case you missed any of that, here’s a roundup! Small cabled sweater bowls; The companion piece to the cabled sweater mug, this little bowl is absolutely perfect for a serving of ice cream, soup, or morning …
Good morning! How has your week been so far? I’m sitting here with fingers itching to type (and hopefully not misspell everything, since I’m also only halfway into my first cup of coffee as I write this) and a creative fire under me that wonders how early is too early …
I finally have a minute to start glazing these mushroom birdfeeders I’ve been sitting on for weeks, and someone requested some kind of Florida blue mushroom… I googled images, and here’s my color palette: I think these are going to be fantastic! Meanwhile, if I can upload a video here… …
Well, I was right; yesterday’s power outage did hose my kiln firing… so one thing I’ll be working on this week is re-making all of those custom orders and restocks. Yay! Oh! And it looks like I also forgot to put together a WiP graphic, so clearly I am batting …
That’s right! Cats and dogs, living together… mass hysteria! Hahaha. Just kidding (sort of). It’s not a Ghostbusters theme, but it is a Cats and Dogs theme. Do you know how many National/International days there are in August for pets? Specifically cats and dogs? So of course that had to …
I’m having a great week, y’all! I don’t know if it’s my new planner, or what, but… I don’t feel overwhelmed with “stuff” this week and I’m getting everything accomplished that I need to. I don’t even know myself, haha! In ceramics, I’ve finished my Patreon ceramics and they are …
Who likes alliteration? … Uh, I need more coffee. I got nuthin’ so far this morning. Just… a powerful need for more coffee. I thought I’d give you a peek into the studio today. I love behind-the-scenes photos but get easily irked how so many of them – especially on …
How’s your week going? I’m having one of those weeks where I feel like I’m busy as all get-out, but when I sit down to tell you what I’m doing…. I have a moment of … what am I doing?! I hope I’m not turning into one of those people …
Hey, y’all! Let’s talk about the Mug of the Month! Brief recap: I used to throw or handbuild the mug of the month, showing off the process of throwing and adorning and glazing and whatnot, and… the mugs, frankly, didn’t sell as well as I’d like. Then I got busy …
I suppose, as a solo business person, I shouldn’t complain about having help in the studio and office, but… come on, already! I mean, I have to keep moving my keyboard. The other day I pulled a muscle in my neck trying to reach around him to get to it… …
