LITERALLY WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE, Y'ALL. When thinking of sweet fruit like pineapple, banana, and apple, sharp paprika is not the go-to, to sprinkle on top of that. But have you ever had a fruity drink, with the rim of the glass done up in spicy salt? This smells like that tastes! It's insane, but it works. Trust me.

You know, at this point, I almost expect to be knocked off course every time I sit down to write something. It’s just been that kind of a ten or twelve months… I’m sure you know what I mean. You start to focus on one thing, thinking “I can let …

Yay, we’re all back at work in this brand-new, no-stress, totally awesome wonderful new year! Hahahahahah! Or at least it’s a Wednesday, right? So let’s talk about what’s going on! When I’d originally thought of what I wanted to do this week, it was dye yarn – I’d been out …

Whew… what a week. WHAT A YEAR. This might be my last WiP post for the year – next Wed is two days before Christmas, and the next one is two days before New Years. In a normal year I’d be flipping out that I don’t have enough presents wrapped, …

I’m in that headspace where I think it’s Tuesday, but I also think it might be Thursday, so I keep checking the calendar and am like, no, wait, it’s Wednesday! Time for my WiP post! Here’s what’s going on in the studio this week… In ceramics, I have so much …

My energy level the last two days (going to bed at 9 PM is normal, right? And trying to sleep later than 7?) and my ability to stay focused (SQUIRREL!) are both telling me that maybe I should have taken one more week off of work… but also I have …

Hello, and happy Wednesday! (* looks around * … it is Wednesday, right???) This week is a bit of a wash for me, work-wise — a dentist appointment on Monday in the late morning and a mammogram later today in the early afternoon, both of them an hour away from …

Whoo, what a week. Troublesome gave me a bit of a scare yesterday; apparently he got in a fight with something, some time between 10 PM on Monday and 8 AM on Tuesday. I knew he was acting weird (sleeping really heavily and not coming to me when I called) …

I’m catching up on a lot of things this week. Not getting ahead, mind you, but catching up! And I’m heading out of town tomorrow morning — I’ll be bringing some writing work with me, and of course I’ll have access to email and social media, but I won’t be …

These days at HaldeCraft I either feel completely on top of things and that everything gets done, or completely overwhelmed by things and that nothing gets accomplished. And those kind of days can happen back to back! In ceramics, desire for the WTF mugs seems to have calmed down, so …

Just a quick post today – I’m firing the kiln and then as soon as it’s done, I’m heading out of town for a day (maybe two, depending on how tired I am by the time I’d need to decide between driving back tomorrow and going to sleep, haha). There …

Here we are, at another Wednesday! Didn’t we just have one of those? It’s almost like the days of the week just… repeat themselves. ( shifty eyes ) In ceramics, I test fired the kiln Sunday with a bisque fire (everything went well, no error codes). All my parts got …

Let’s see… I think we’re into the 437th week of 2020, which means late July, so… I mean, really, doesn’t it feel like that? I saw a meme a couple of weeks ago that it’s not dog years that equal seven for every one, it’s 2020. This year is bananas, …

What is today? Is it Wednesday? Let’s pretend as if it is, even if it’s not. It feels like Friday of next week, to be honest. But I’m pretty sure it’s Wednesday. In ceramics, my obsession with fixing the WTF mugs is finally paying off – I’ll have some to …

July. Whoa. Who said that could happen? This year has felt like an Irwin Allen disaster film played at 3x speed. (Those meth gators better back off!) ANYWAY. Here’s what I’m up to this week. In ceramics, y’all, I am fiiiighting it out with these WTF mugs. I’m doing some …

Is it Wednesday? I feel like it might be Wednesday. I don’t know, I quit looking at my dayplanner about fifty-seven years ago, in March. In ceramics this week, I’m toying around with some ideas, and also glazing and firing as fast as I can. The temps have been cool(ish), …

It came to my attention last week that I hadn’t done a weekly, works in progress post for about five weeks. FIVE WEEKS. It’s not that I’ve not been working – you follow me on social media, you can see I have. But I’ll do things like… get orders out …

Whew. What a long strange trip we’re all on, eh? Every time I feel like I’m getting back into my groove, on my schedule, I stare at the wall for half a day and then am surprised that it’s after lunchtime and I’ve done practically nothing. Same for you….? In …

How’s your week going? I’m feeling very… I don’t know if I should say lucky, or privileged. I already worked at home. I live on 15 acres so there’s no-body within half a mile of me, let alone six feet, so I can go outside into the sunlight and walk …

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 …

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 …

Last week was so busy I didn’t have time for a blog post, and this week I’m just now getting my feet under me for the week. So…. Where does that leave us?! In ceramics, I’m playing around with piece designs for the upcoming May Limited Collection/HaldeCrate, and I’m playing …

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 …
