Oi, what a week, y’all! In ceramics, I’m talking about all the new things I’ve released this week (honeycomb and skull ceramics, and the August Mug of the Month) and I’m working on making new ones (and already making restocks! Thanks, y’all!). In soap, I’m making a list of soap …
So much is coming in that in order to not miss anything, you’re getting a blog post today about what’s coming… then starting Monday I’ll sprinkle in a couple each day, and this time next week I’ll do a recap post (that I promise won’t be a copy/paste of this …
Yesterday a project (setting up a new tortoise enclosure for the boys, who have outgrown their terrarium) that I thought would take two hours took eight, and I have a dentist appointment tomorrow and have to take That Poor Man to get his wisdom teeth out Friday, so my feeling …
Welcome to the recap post that should have gone up Friday! Every time I’ve gone to upload since Friday, it’s been raining, which means our Internet has gone out. Internet that goes out whenever it’s rainy or very overcast is totally not frustrating when you have a job that’s online. …
Whew, y’all, what a week! I woke up this morning and my first thought was “I’m so glad it’s Saturday, I can sleep a little late” followed immediately by “OH WAIT.” Hahaha. It’s a good week, don’t get me wrong – but I’m getting so much done it’s confusing me …
Hey, all! Just a quick update with some pictures of finished products in the upcoming August HaldeCrate, Cats & Dogs. You remember what’s in the Cats and Dogs HaldeCrate? A skein of yarn in the base of your choice (from what is available); a set with soap (Puppy Kisses, milky and …
Shop Elf came out to the studio yesterday (it usually comes on Thursdays) so I’m a little convinced today is Friday… but it’s not! It’s Wednesday! And that means we talk about What’s In Progress. WiP Wednesday started off as a weekly conversation prompt over in my Ravelry group. I …
So many slab-rolled ceramics this week! It’s messy and fun in the studio these days. So messy. AND SO FUN! In ceramics, I’m having so much fun! Er, I mean, I’m working so hard! Haha! I’ve gotten a few new texture rolling pins and I just can’t stop myself from …
A lot of restocks were sprinkled in with everything else this week, so in case you missed any of that, here’s a roundup! Small cabled sweater bowls; The companion piece to the cabled sweater mug, this little bowl is absolutely perfect for a serving of ice cream, soup, or morning …
That’s right! Cats and dogs, living together… mass hysteria! Hahaha. Just kidding (sort of). It’s not a Ghostbusters theme, but it is a Cats and Dogs theme. Do you know how many National/International days there are in August for pets? Specifically cats and dogs? So of course that had to …
I’m having a great week, y’all! I don’t know if it’s my new planner, or what, but… I don’t feel overwhelmed with “stuff” this week and I’m getting everything accomplished that I need to. I don’t even know myself, haha! In ceramics, I’ve finished my Patreon ceramics and they are …
Mostly the first part of this week I recovered from GLAM (so much fun, but I always need so much sleep after!) and the latter half of this week I need to focus primarily on the next Chapter of The Unreachable Star that goes up Sunday. However, yesterday I made …
Most of my work this week is centered around getting ready for a big show this weekend – GLAM is running a new Spring show and you know I had to be a part of that, considering how fun the Winter show is! I’m a little nervous because I’m trying …
I’m still a little under the weather, so trying more to clean around the studio and make lists of things that need to be done, more than actual doing… (I do not recommend two sinus infections in two months, to anyone). But I do have a few things going on …
Hey, all! It’s been a few weeks! We had a great trip up to Indiana, via West Virginia, and back down through Kentucky. We visited many art galleries (oh, Tamarack, I love you so!) and drove though a lot of pretty places, and saw a lot of good people. And …
Hey, y’all. If you saw my post from the other week, you know that one of the three big things I’ve been facing the last month or so is how to deal with my main soap distributor almost doubling their price of the goat’s milk soap base that I use. …
Pre-orders for this crate will be available through Tuesday, April 30th, and will ship on Wednesday, May 15th. At that point, a limited number of extra yarns, soap sets, soap dishes, and yarn bowls will be listed and they will remain available until sold out. What do you get to …
Once a month, a limited edition soap is released. Sometimes it’s to test out a fragrance and get feedback. Sometimes it’s because I was sent a tester fragrance sample and am curious about how it works up. Sometimes it’s because people have asked for a type of thing and we …
I can hardly remember what I thought on Monday that my week would be like… I know I had a plan, but… pff! Plans! We don’t need no stinkin’ plans! Hahahaha! Seriously, though, this week has gone a little off the rails – I knew Monday I was going to …
What’s new and restocked at HaldeCraft recently? Everything! The new redesign of the Louisa May Alcott mugs are out; you can find “I am not afraid of storms” here, and “She is too fond of books” here. Similarly, the redesign of the My Favorite Murder mugs are out, and I’ve …
A lot of updates this week, as well – so many I can’t get to them all if I just stick to five. But! Let’s just do five, anyway (I don’t want to overwhelm all y’all). Fruit & Vegetable Markers – The perfect thing for your Spring (or Fall) garden; plant …
This is one of those posts I’m writing because I work alone and don’t have anyone really to bounce ideas off of (I mean, there’s cats, tortoises, and a Shop Elf, but… you know what I mean). It’s the time of year when I order soap base, and this time …
I’ve been sick the last couple of days but powering through anyway, and I woke up this morning feeling so much better… except for a migraine, ugh! That’s just …. salt in the wound, ya know? But Imma not let that stop me, I have fun to have! In ceramics, …
No, really! Surprisingly, this does not smell like carrots. No, it smells more like sweet vanilla cake with blueberries and lemon. Fruity and sweet! This is the October limited edition soap, which you can find here. And that’s not all, because there are a few left from earlier in the …
