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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
Today sees the release of the February 2019 HaldeCrate, Whoooooooooooo’s Ready for the End of Winter. Temperatures are already heating up in Florida… how about where you are? Because some of my Facebook friends are posting about upwards of 15 inches of snow they’ve gotten this week. I know for …
Today is the last day for pre-orders for the February 2019 HaldeCrate, Whoooooooooooo’s Ready for the End of Winter. What exactly is a HaldeCrate, in general? Are you familiar with themed crates, like BarkBox, or LootCrate, or Hello Fresh? This is like that, but with my spin on it. For …
The August 2018 HaldeCrate, Midnight Garden, is now closed for preorders (it will ship on the 15th and at that time I’ll have a limited number of extra pieces that I’ll be listing here)… and that also means that it’s time to announce the next crate! It will be shipping …
What are you working on this week? In ceramics, whoa, y’all blew me away Monday with the August mug! Sometimes people say “oooo imma want that” and then there are only crickets, but this time, all y’all really meant it! They sold out in about an hour, something that very …
I’ve been so busy the last few weeks I haven’t even had time to write a blog post telling y’all what I’ve been up to! So here… let me try to catch up. This may be a long one….! In ceramics I’m glazing pieces for HaldeCrate (more on that in …
(follow-up from here) Hey, all! I’ve been getting a few questions about the HaldeCrate, so I wanted to make sure I was explaining it well enough. Are you familiar with themed crates, like BarkBox, or LootCrate, or Hello Fresh? This is like that, but with my spin on it. For …
You still have almost a week to get your pre-order in for the next HaldeCrate, this one themed around Coconut Cream. HaldeCrate is kind of like the next iteration of yarn club combined with a ceramic club and a dash of soap club. If you go to this listing you …
A HaldeCrate is like the “choose your own adventure” novels of your childhood. A yarn (or not). Some goodies (or not). A way cool ceramic piece (or not). You choose what you want, and the price adjusts to accommodate your choices. Did you miss out on the pre-orders? Starting today, …
Welcome to the 3rd and last installment of the Winter 2018 Yarn Club! The theme this time around is inspired by Vincent van Gogh, and this is the one I know y’all have been waiting for… Starry Night! The colorway I’ve wanted to dye since I learned to dye yarn, …
Pre-orders are now closed for the April 2018 HaldeCrate (Monkey Farts), which means that the next Crate, this one themed around Coconut Cream, is now ready for pre-order! Not familiar with HaldeCrate? A HaldeCrate is like the “choose your own adventure” novels of your childhood. A yarn (or not). Some …
Hello, and Happy Wednesday! What are y’all working on this week? In ceramics, I’m glazing like a fiend. Well, not today – I have a Shop Elf, y’all! Bless its magical little heart, it comes out and glazes for me sometimes when I’m in a pinch, and boy howdy am …
Welcome to the 2nd installment of the Winter 2018 Yarn Club – which I actually put into the mail about four weeks ago, but you know how I like to make sure nobody gets spoiled… so I put up the posts a month later. The theme this time around is …
I’ve tried to write this three times, and Chrome keeps shutting down on me about halfway, and oddly (for Chrome) not saving and offering to open previous shut-down tabs. So. Let’s see how this goes. Hey, y’all! What are you up to this week? In ceramics, I have a table …
I’ve been hinting that I’m going to do something a little different with yarn club. Or, rather, yarn club is going to be taking a little hiatus while I work on something I’ve been wanting to do for a while but haven’t been able to carve out the time for. …
I just put February’s yarn club in the mail, and that means I can blog about January’s color! The theme this time around is inspired by Vincent van Gogh, and I’m starting off with one of his earlier, not-as-well-known pieces. While his later, lighter, brighter paintings are what he’s most …
I really am trying to rest, and get over this Bronchitis, but there’s so many exciting things in the studio and I love what I do! So here’s what’s getting worked on when I’m not trying to nap or rest on the couch with the cats. In ceramics, I should …
Next year in January when I tell you that having an Open House the same week that I’m trying to get yarn club dyed, wound, and out, and quarterly sales taxes are due, remind me that maybe that’s not the most effective weekend to have an Open House, eh? I …
You guys, you guys! This weeeeeek! I love it! I am almost over this cold and feel a good 87.3% better than I felt last week (I’m still a little congested but everything else is fading). Because I feel better, my energy level is up, so I’m getting more work …
