I've been holding onto the January Patreon yarn, h I've been holding onto the January Patreon yarn, hoping to have time to rewrite the folk tale it's based on, but I still haven't had time - and I'm itching to get these lovelies in the mail. Here's a sneak peek black-and-white photo of the yarn..... stay tuned for the in-color version!
Forest Moon (https://www.haldecraft.com/products/f Forest Moon (https://www.haldecraft.com/products/forest-moon). So, here's a question for you fellow Star Wars fans. Did you grow up calling it the "Forest Moon of Endor" meaning, it is a moon covered in forests that orbits the planet Endor? Or did you call it "Forest Moon of Endor" meaning that the moon's name is Endor and it happens to be forested? Either way, if you love the greens and browns of a heavy forest, this is the yarn for you.

He meant it as an insult, as if he couldn't believe her audacity. And it became our rallying battle cry.
This One Hit Wonder is in Andre (https://www.halde This One Hit Wonder is in Andre (https://www.haldecraft.com/products/one-hit-wonder?variant=31738584072281). Andre is a workhorse fingering/sock weight yarn; 80/20 Superwash Merino/Nylon. She's good for socks, gloves, shawls, baby garments... you name it!
I'm getting a little ahead of myself, because ther I'm getting a little ahead of myself, because there's only so much I can post in a day before I feel like I'm just spamming people, but... these Moon Mugs are done, and have been taken to @firepowercoffee -- if you want one, that's the only place to get them!
Ceramics, soap, ceramics, more ceramics, and also Ceramics, soap, ceramics, more ceramics, and also some ceramics... that's what I'm working on this week. What about you? What are you working on? How's your week going?

I can’t get any work done for all this thinking!

Lorena March 27, 2017 Monday Musings2 Comments

Note to self: I don’t have to hurry

Lorena January 9, 2017 Monday MusingsLeave a comment

Color me…

Lorena December 12, 2016 Monday MusingsLeave a comment

You’ve probably noticed, but I have a thing for color. Some potters – and I admire them for this – have a simple palate. It’s part of their look, part of their brand. Probably the same clay all the time, and then one or maybe two colors of glaze, and …

Lorena October 31, 2016 Monday MusingsLeave a comment

Sometimes I feel like my day is one giant game of “for the want of a shoe, the war was lost” combined with… what’s that term… choice fatigue? Decision! Decision fatigue! Or, no, wait, I think it’s more like analysis paralysis, because the choices aren’t necessarily all literally in front …
