Christmas was ridiculously fun this year; Santa was overly generous to me, and while our dinner for 30 turned into dinner for 23, the amount of food everyone ate more than made up for the people who had to cancel and the studio positively rang with laughter and cheer. We …
I did have about six paragraphs written, but then there was an accident with the keyboard and a cat when I got up to refresh my coffee, and I really don’t feel like writing it all out again. Yesterday I cleaned out the studio – like, really cleaned! – …
HAHAHAHAHA! HAHAHAHA! AHAHAHAHAsob! The one lone plate survivor from the other day’s kiln explosion, the plate I was going to give as a Christmas gift even though four people would have been left out from my original list of five, the one that was one of four things I was …
So now that the mad dash of getting things together for craft shows is over, it’s time to get things together for Christmas! I meant to fire the kiln (I’d already loaded it up with greenware) when I got back on Sunday, and I totally forgot what with unloading the …
I hope your Christmas, or your Chinese Food Day, or whatever, your Wednesday, was as lovely as mine. Loved ones, tasty food, good conversation, perfect gifts from Santa… surely my cup runneth over. I hope yours does, as well.

This year I’ve had more invitations to holiday things than ever before. Or maybe I just have never noticed it before? Maybe Evite and Facebook have made it easier for people to invite ALL THE GUESTS, so I’m seeing more not because it’s my presence that is wanted but it’s …
I’ve been getting a lot of messages from new customers (welcome new followers!) about custom orders for the holidays, and shipping times. It breaks my people-pleasing heart to have to tell people I can’t get custom orders done now – ceramics takes me about six weeks from placing of the …
If you’re thinking this week about whether or not I can help out with your Winter holiday gift-giving, you’re thinking about it at the right time. And I say that hating holiday decorations out in stores before Halloween just like the rest of you! Trust me. Christmas is my favorite …
1. Get in mah belleh!, 2. Sharing the kitchen, 3. Good people, 4. Sparkles, 5. Looooooot, 6. Tree bread, 7. Barbara, 8. Coffee cake, 9. During, 10. Before, 11. I am ridiculously easy to buy for, 12. Merry Christmas to all!
OK, technically this was taken two years ago, her face is much more gray now. And since the Codeine makes her silly, she probably really says “Merr….. ….. …. whut?”. But the thought is there. I love y’all like she loves me. May your cup runneth over on this, and …
Go ahead. Try to tell me these aren’t the cutest things you’ve ever seen in your life. I have a few left, still; and will have more next week. Jain gave me the idea to paint the hats like Jayne hats, so … yeah, I’ll have even more as soon …
I guess I did not misbehave as much as I thought this year, because Santa was very good to me! I got books and yarn and a pony and — OK, just kidding, I didn’t get a pony. That’s OK, I’m not that much into horses. But I did get …
Yesterday during the day I got a lot of work done — dogs waking me up at 2 in the morning meant that my work day was almost over by the time the sun rose. I went ahead and fired the kiln, caught up on some background HaldeCraft things, and …
Yesterday was the kind of day where I aaaaaaaalmost bit off more than I could chew. I had to go to Melrose to take inventory at Shake Rag, and Mariana was coming over to do a work photo shoot so we could make some new ads to run on Ravelry, …
Mmmmm. My house smells like Chex Mix! That must mean the holidays are upon us. Yesterday I made more Chex Mix (this is a two-batch season) and I have a bit to mail out but mostly this is for the locals. I saw Cinnamon Chex on the shelf and so …
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarn! Sneak peek for all you pink lovers; Pretty in Pink will be coming back in January, if not sooner. I wouldn’t bet on sooner, just because it’s about a three-week turnaround from when I start to do something to when it starts to show up (but you probably already …
The rest of my 2010 photos can be viewed here.
Christmas was very sweet this year, low-key and quiet, with nobody in the hospital. That was nice! Tim did get a migraine and had to bow out of evening festivities, but that was the worst thing that happened. Morning began as usual, with stockings and mimosas (pomosas) and Christmas music …
