Wednesday! It’s the new Monday! I think it’s hilarious that over the years we had the yarn store open, the only day of the week Hanks was closed was Tuesday, and that lead to many a “who’s closed on a TUESDAY” question from people who would show up mid-week needing …
Good morning! As I’m writing this, I’m also watching Stargate SG1 — a little over a year ago, two friends and I started watching Babylon 5 when it began streaming. We did four episodes a week, starting early in the morning before work. After we finished all five years of …
What a week, y’all! I wound up postponing today’s dentist appointment just so there would be one day this week I didn’t have to drive into Gainesville, and I could put in a good strong day of work instead. In ceramics I’m doing some slab-work this week, getting ready to …
I sat down to write this blog post first thing in the morning, but noticed that last night I’d closed up shop without finishing the sort of comparison sheet I was drawing up for different mapping programs (I need some maps and would like some ship floor plans for my …
Whoo-hoo! First full work-week of the year! Do mid-week holidays mess you up as much as they do me? I mean, I already have – at most – a tenuous idea of what day of the week it is. When everyone else I know is suddenly off work Tuesday and …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
