“Oh, laws,” you’re thinking. “She doesn’t write forever and then she gives us one with song lyrics… it’s always a hard thoughtful one when there are song!lyrics!” Hey. At least I just pepper the lyrics in there as words, and don’t do some horrific 90s music pop-up that plays the …
Oh. Mah. Garsh, y’all. THIS STORY. I debated posting this here, because while I don’t want o get into the realm of boring/TMI, as a solo show I also like to let y’all know things that go on in my life. So. Remember how I mentioned about eight million doctors …

Dear Goddamn Diary; I have so much to tell you! But I can’t, yet. Why? You know how when you know something, but you’re not supposed to know something, so it’s a secret, but you really don’t want to keep the secret, because it’s so hilarious? Yeah, that’s me. It’s …
That just doesn’t seem possible. Not in a “I feel so oooooooooooooold” way, but in a “I don’t feel old AT ALL” way. I feel like I just got here. I feel like I’m still riding a bike with a banana seat and wearing awesome yet horse-frightening pants and a Star …
Here’s the last of the Instagram challenge that I was doing last month, and can I just say that I really, REALLY loved doing it! I enjoyed meeting so many like-minded Makers and getting a peek at what makes people work and how they do it. Now here’s the rest …
Continued from last week, the challenge I did on Instagram last month! This’ll be a little shorter than last week, since I skipped two days (#13, Feedback, and #20, Sketchbook).
During the month of March (coming soon … “Three Things I Would Have Blogged About in March if I’d Had the Time”) I did an Instagram challenge about meeting the person behind the business. I’ve crossposted these already on my work blog but thought some of you who don’t read …
All of March was pretty busy, but it came to a head last week (hence no Wednesday and Friday blogging). But here’s the last of the Instagram challenge that I was doing last month, and can I just say that I really, REALLY loved doing it! I enjoyed meeting so …
Continued from last week, the challenge I’m doing on Instagram this month! This’ll be a little shorter than last week, since I skipped two days (#13, Feedback, and #20, Sketchbook).
I know, I know; I was going to take a break from Instagram challenges, because January and February kind of burnt me out a bit. But how could I resist one that’s all about getting to know the artist/maker behind your favorite small businesses?! I KNOW. So, I joined. Here …
I’m not going to apologize for this blog being so silent lately; life is what it is, and I hate reading sporadically updated blogs who always start off each sporadic post with “OMG, I’m like so totally sorry it’s been three years since I updated!”. You guys all know the …
I don’t know if I’ve really brought it up here before – mostly because it’s not HaldeCraft related, really – but my dogs fight sometimes. Mostly it happens when the four-legged dog (Corwin) accidentally bumps up against (Lindy) the three-legged dog’s stump, which scares Lindy and she snaps at Corwin, …
Wait, what? Where has February gone? Wasn’t it just turning February? Now it’s the 22nd? The last few weeks have been pretty busy… you probably know that if you follow me on Facebook or Instagram… but here’s a little run-down. Long time followers may think this photo looks somewhat, hauntingly …
By far the biggest and best thing that happened this week was the birth of this little chubster, my new nephew. I promise not to subject you to rolls and rolls of photos, but I do have to show you just this one, in the gnome hat I knit for …
Originally posted on June 16, 2005; I thought I’d repost this, since moving one more time is hopefully on the horizon. No moss on this rolling stone Lately, I’ve been thinking about a family friend who has helped me move on numerous occasions. That got me thinking… exactly how many …
So it looks like buying/selling/moving is being pushed back towards the Fall, which is awesome (who wants to move in August in Florida anyway? Who wants to hang insulation and drywall in a small hot AC-less workshop in August? And the longer it takes to apply for a loan, the …
I love a good ghost story, especially haunted houses. But do I believe in ghosts? Hmm. Well, I’d have to believe in an afterlife in order to believe in ghosts, and since nobody has ever sent me a postcard from the afterlife, well… Well. So, what then? What are hauntings? …
Need to catch up? This is the last part, Part Eight. Part One; Part Two; Part Three; Part Four; Part Five; Part Six, and Part Seven. So on Tuesday, February 11th, I got my ass up at the crack o’ dawn to shower and get ready to go have sharp …
Need to catch up? This is Part Seven. Part One; Part Two; Part Three; Part Four; Part Five; Part Six. I did a lot of this in January. It was relaxing, and fun, and made me feel like I was getting something done even when I was sick. And I …
So, what else was going on while all this was going on? A couple of days before the mammogram, I cleaned out my little library, intending to craft a little – for personal reasons, not work – in the mornings. That worked until it started to get cold – I …
Well, I didn’t intend to drag my heels on this one, but a combination of a few crafty things I was consumed with, coupled with this being my least favorite part of the story, added up together for a delay. The physical aspects of the ultrasound were not so bad …
Early in the morning, the day after Christmas, I got a phone call from the mammogram place. They had seen something they’d like to get a better look at, could I come in the following week? Again, it would be pretty early in the morning, although not as early as …
This is Part Three of this story. Here’s Part One. Here’s Part Two. There is nothing quite so lonely as going to get your very first mammogram on a cold and rainy Christmas Eve morning, at a time when you’d normally just be finishing up your first cup of coffee, …
