Yesterday I showed off the new goat's milk bar in Yesterday I showed off the new goat's milk bar in relation to the old one, today, I'm showing off the new oatmeal bar in relation to the old one. Yes, same mold for both oatmeal and goat's milk this time around (don't even get me started on my search for new molds that are both interesting and gender-neutral and larger than guest-size that come with more than one cavity in the mold... you'd think I was trying to find hen's teeth.) ANYWAY! These will start showing up in the shop next week!

Not quite a shadow, not quite a raincloud, not quite the color of smoke from a campfire... and yet somehow this is all of those things together. This rich gray, with subtle blue highlights, is sure to become one of your go-to colorway for those complicated stitch patterns that need a semi-solid yarn to show them to their best advantage.

Lorena May 1, 2019 This Week in HaldeCraftLeave a comment

Mostly the first part of this week I recovered from GLAM (so much fun, but I always need so much sleep after!) and the latter half of this week I need to focus primarily on the next Chapter of The Unreachable Star that goes up Sunday. However, yesterday I made …

Most of my work this week is centered around getting ready for a big show this weekend – GLAM is running a new Spring show and you know I had to be a part of that, considering how fun the Winter show is! I’m a little nervous because I’m trying …

I’m still a little under the weather, so trying more to clean around the studio and make lists of things that need to be done, more than actual doing… (I do not recommend two sinus infections in two months, to anyone). But I do have a few things going on …

Hey, all! It’s been a few weeks! We had a great trip up to Indiana, via West Virginia, and back down through Kentucky. We visited many art galleries (oh, Tamarack, I love you so!) and drove though a lot of pretty places, and saw a lot of good people. And …

What’s going on for y’all this week? How’s your week shaping up? The time change is hitting all of us… just about every person I’ve talked to this week has mentioned not having enough sleep, enough coffee, enough motivation. We’re all feeling it! In ceramics this week, I’m working on …

Hey, y’all! How’s it going for you this week? I’ve been buckling down and doing a ton of accounting data entry (wheeeeeeeeee!) but there are some more exciting things going on as well…. In ceramics, the March Mug of the Month sold out in record time – I love that …

I can hardly remember what I thought on Monday that my week would be like… I know I had a plan, but… pff! Plans! We don’t need no stinkin’ plans! Hahahaha! Seriously, though, this week has gone a little off the rails – I knew Monday I was going to …

And just like that, January is almost over! I don’t know who decided THAT could be a thing. I still kind of feel like it’s October of last year, haha. Sigh. It’s not just me, either… a friend on Facebook yesterday mentioned she’d just gotten her Christmas tree taken down. …

How’s your week going? I was having a great, productive week until yesterday afternoon when I sort of coughed a little bit and said to myself, “hmmm, I think my throat is a little sore”… this morning as I write this I have a full-on massive sore throat and congestion. …

I just posted over on Facebook that this is the most Mondayest-feeling Wednesday ever. Whooo, boy? Just me? Anyone else not feel at all like it’s Wednesday? How can the week be half-over already? In ceramics, I’ve reached a good pre-Fiber-In stopping point with the mad rush of glazing, and …

Whew. I’m getting my feet back underneath me from last week… but I’m also eyeing the calendar suspiciously because… Winter is Coming. In the retail life, it’s never too early to think about the winter holidays (having said that, you won’t hear any overt Christmas talk from me because we …
