Hot This Week





Scenes from a life

I'm making soap this week, and I'm thinking about doing something I may have thought about a couple of years ago but then filed away in my "thought bin". Whenever I order soap fragrances, the companies always send sample fragrances. It's usually enough to make about six bars of soap, but for some reason I always just put the sample aside "to use later". Well, I think it might be later! I'm thinking about doing one sample soap a month -- it'd be its own listing, like the Mug a Month listing, and I'd add five or six bars soap in a limited edition fragrance once a month or so. I say "limited", but if the fragrance was a hit, of course I'd look into bringing that in as a regular item. Hmmmm... things to think about! It's the time of year when I start beefing up my Etsy shop as we gear up for the Fall and Winter holidays... since I'm reworking all of my crocheted doily items, I'm going to be taking some things I'm re-working off my primary haldecraft.com and moving them to Etsy. You can find this and a few other yarn bowls here (https://www.etsy.com/shop/haldecraft?section_id=21880161). Additionally, this week I added some mugs and bowls that were one-shot/color tests. Thanks, y'all! Feeling a little hazardous this morning...? What's up? TORTOISE BUTT! Saw this little guy or girl in the driveway the other day. It's been a really active summer for torties on our property, and I love seeing them at so many different age and sizes. It gives me hope for our little population! We probably have... maybe nine different tortoises I've seen, and close to fifteen different burrows that are in use. They're what's called a keystone species in this ecosystem, and I love that we have so many of them because it also means we have a lot of other important Sandhill wildlife. Fresh from the kiln - almost the last of the button frenzy! I now have at least 5 of every button, five designs and twelve colors, with the exception of purple owls. I need to make some more owl buttons (I miscounted by 5, oops). Meanwhile, I've already added these to the website this morning, so everything that I have in buttons is currently listed. You can find all the buttons here (https://www.haldecraft.com/collections/notions-buttons). Thanks, y'all!
