That’s right… it’s not just a breakfast food (although it is a tasty one). Oatmeal is also in soap, and now it’s in soap at HaldeCraft. You may remember I posted a few weeks ago about going to reorder some soap molds and finding out they don’t make them any …
Cross-posted on my work blog, but copied here so you can see what I’ve been up to lately! There is so much going on in HaldeCraft right now I almost don’t even know where to start telling you – the new things? The restocked things? The things on sale? New …
(Crossposted from my work blog) Last week was a soapy blur of soap making and wrapping, and scrambling for paperwork, scanning, signing, etc. (I don’t remember, when I bought this house I live in now, 20 years ago, that the process was as time consuming as this house we’re trying …
I’ve spent the last three days… two days? This is day three, and I’ve already started this morning before writing this up…. so almost three days up to my armpits in soap. Here’s where I was: “I have a lot of soap fragrances. Some I use a lot. Some it …
That was a tasty beer. Slightly fruity (it was the “blackberry juice” on the label that got me). — New at Ingenue Avenue, a selection of guest soaps inspired by Sarkara Sweet’s cupcake line! — If you don’t know what this is you may be too young to be reading …
Mariana redesigned my literature soap set labels. The back label is so GD cute I want to pop its little head off! Now… if only I can hurry up and get the rest of the three sets wrapped before GLAM this weekend…..!
Got plans Sunday, December 2nd? Want some? Get ready for GLAM Indie Craft Show 2012! This year, we’ll have even more local artists and crafters than ever to satisfy your holiday shopping needs. That’s because we’re moving to a new and larger venue — the historic WWII-era Mustang Hangar just …
TRUE STORY. I mean, I could store them here at the house until next year; but then again, space in HaldeCraft Headquarters is kind of at a premium these days. So I’ve marked all the Halloween soaps down about 25% — you can find them here.
Pumpkin Walnut Biscotti, what what?!? That’s right, I’m totally changing up the soaps at Wild Iris Books (802 West University Avenue). It’s time to bring in some Autumn/Holiday fragrances, and since I’ve been toying with the idea of a major soap switchout anyway (bringing in new fragrances there, and getting …
Did I mention this already? In honor of my second HaldeCraft anniversary, all soap is on sale from Thursday, 8/9 through Wednesday, 8/15! Use the coupon “soapcrazy” at checkout to get 15% off any soap in your order! This discount is not good with any other discounts or coupons, is not retroactive, …
Yarn: Malabrigo and Cascade 220 Soap: HaldeSoap in “All Mixed Up” Pattern: loosely based on Soap Sweater by Cynthia Hall; if you’re on Ravelry you can read about my mods. Notes: Why did I make these? I still have some from a few years ago I’ve never given away. Well, at first …
I’ve been making, and for the next week or two will continue to be making, Halloween soaps. In the past, I’ve done sets of six of the same design, in the same fragrance. But it occurs to me that maybe mixing it up a bit wouldn’t be a bad thing. …
I tried to get this new soap set up and listed yesterday, but alas, yesterday was one of those days where everything seems to take about ninety-seven times longer than you think it will to accomplish something. So I only got as far as the photo shoot. It’s up and …
Can you believe I’m already at 132 items in my new shop? And I feel like I’ve barely even got things listed. Check out what I got up there this last week.

I got totally inspired by a recent new soap fragrance, Lavender Lemon, and decided to use it as a base for my April limited edition yarn colorway. However, me being who I am, I got a little carried away. I made new soap. I made hand lotion. I got some …

Occasionally I do a limited colorway in HaldeCraft HandDyed, based on flowers. April is when the next one is coming out, and I’ve been wondering for months what I would do — I’ve pretty much been wondering since I did the last one in December (The Hardiest Rose)! What was …
Busy, busy week (in more ways than one)! Hence me getting this up about 36 hours later than I planned. But hey, I’ve bought a loom and am learning a new craft! So that’s exciting. Lots of restocks in this last week; things that I had sold out of and …
