It’s been a long day, y’all; I’ve gotten November yarn club out today (since I’m using a new postage client there was a bit more data entry than usual so it took a couple hours more than it normally does) and I’ve been catching up on behind-the-scenes things. But what …
As I’m gearing up for my first show of the season next week, and as I’ve been working on a new idea for yarn displays, I’ve been thinking a lot about how my craft show booth displays have changed over the last seven years. Seven! HaldeCraft is seven years old …
What are you working on this week? I’m feeling more excited and motivated by ideas than I have in a while — whether that’s because summer is almost over, or I’m gearing up for some craft shows, or I’m just feeling a sudden creative and motivational spark, I’m not sure… …
Mostly today I am walking from one end of the studio to the other, and into the office, and back out into the studio, wondering what to do first – which is funny because now it’s almost lunchtime and the day is half over! I have already started the kiln …

What are you working on this week? For having a show this Saturday, I am remarkably composed and not in a whirlwind tizzy of work. In ceramics, mostly what I’m working on are prototypes for a couple of things for next year, and Christmas presents for my family (it’s a …

I definitely have “craft show hangover” this morning, y’all! Tired, happy, tired, getting more tired the longer I’m awake, and still happy! It’s a weird feeling. There might be a nap in my future today. I couldn’t give you a full rundown of the show – we got there at …
What are you working on this week? I’m getting ready for GLAM on Sunday, and everything that I’m doing this week has some sort of relationship to that. Sunday, I started off the day with making approximately 100 tubes and tins of lip balm. I need to get those labeled – probably …

What are you working on this week? Mostly I’m trying to work on not still being sick, already, I mean, really, enough is enough! Other than pretending I’m not still sick, I’m madly working on ceramics. I thought about four days ago that I was fine, totally had enough for …

Whoa, y’all! It’s November! I feel like I was just in a last-minute panic about finding Christmas gifts for my family (that weren’t things I made) and now it’s time to go through all that again! Meanwhile, though, let’s just think about this week…. In ceramics, I’ve fired the small …

What are you working on this week? Mostly, I’m working on checking things in from GLAM over the weekend, and taking a look at what I might be able to restock before the holiday rush is over. In ceramics, I’m working on getting everything checked back into the shop that I …
I didn’t have time to write a blog post yesterday, so let’s just pretend that today is Wednesday and you can tell me what you’re working on! I am all ceramics, all the time this week. Pouring, cleaning, building, firing, painting, glazing, firing… and did I mention firing? As I …
Right now I only do a few craft shows a year – but one year I also did something called the “Monthly Craft Market” and did a show once a month for almost a year! That year alone taught me a lot about doing a craft show, and for me, …

Good morning, everyone! Or afternoon, if that’s when you’re seeing this. The last few weeks have been a whirlwind of activity, culminating in a party three years in the making – my aunt and uncle’s 50th wedding anniversary. That’s what all those mugs have been for, the last few weeks …
I’m so excited to announce I was accepted into GLAM again this year! This will be my fourth time, and it just keeps getting better and better. Here’s a shot from my booth last year – … can you see the booth through all the people?! I always have a …
I was so busy the whole weekend I didn’t have a lot of time to whip out my camera; I think this is the least number of photos I’ve ever taken at Fiber-In. Thursday night my living room looked like this: And when I went to pick up Rhea, after …
