A Day in the Life

If you're being shown some affection this weekend, may you have a happier look on your face about it. A great gift for the goddess-loving knitter or crocheter in your life (or maybe a great gift for yourself!), yarn bowls hold the yarn so that it doesn't roll around on the floor while you're trying to work on your project. This is a low, wide yarn bowl, and would have plenty of room for a large ball of yarn and also some notions. Run your yarn through the guide if you want to change yarn often, or through one of the holes next to the guide for a committed-to-the-bowl project! You can find this goddess, and others currently in stock, here (https://www.haldecraft.com/collections/ceramics-functional-bowls/products/yarn-bowl-goddess?variant=8957897113689). Thanks, y'all! Recently restocked, Wild Mint & Ivy (https://www.haldecraft.com/collections/soap/products/wild-mint-ivy-1). If you like Sweetgrass, or Sage & Lemongrass, you’re going to love this one! It has base notes of patchouli and moss, is balanced with a bit of citrus and lavender, but all you really smell is the green, green notes of ivy, spearmint, peppermint, and everything fresh and green. Is green a fragrance? If you've ever stood in the middle of a grassy prairie and breathed in deeply, you know that green smell of grasses. Add a bit of mint to that and you've got Wild Mint & Ivy! A little over two weeks from now the next chapter will go up.... if you like sociology-based science fiction, inclusive and representative characters, and a serialized format, head on over here (https://www.patreon.com/haldechick). Of course, if you don't like any of those things, don't go over there! You'll only get upset about multi-layered, complex characters who sometimes make poor choices, a long story with a slow burn, and a mystery that is going to take some time to unravel. Yeah. Definitely don't go over there if you don't like those things! Sock Monkey (https://www.haldecraft.com/collections/yarn/products/sock-monkey). You're of a certain age, and you had a variety of favorite toys when you were a child. You built forts for your Weebles and Little People out of Lincoln Logs. You could spend endless time on Sunday morning pressing your Silly Putty into the comics. You might even have had a Pachinko machine (at least until you dropped all those little metal balls on the floor and they scattered to the four corners). But your favorite, the one you still wish you had, was your Sock Monkey. Now you can rekindle your love of those soft chocolate grays and those bright reds, by making anything you want to make (even another Sock Monkey toy)!
