It’s done! I’m all moved in and it is gorgeous! Yes, I know how lucky I am! Beyond the general de-cluttering, the only real change in here (besides the new floor & baseboards) was swapping out the mirrored sliding closet doors with these simple white curtains I made from some white cotton twill. Our house…

Floor Finished!
It looks fabulous! And the lighter color really enlarges the space (of course, the lack of stuff in here helps!) Now to bring all the stuff back in!
Commence with the holiday work!
I really don’t like not doing things. My definition of a fun vacation is time in a CLEAN ORGANIZED house so I can make some art. God bless my husband, he goes along with my mania…most of the time. Sometimes he even supports it – I got bamboo flooring for my studio for Christmas!!!! And…
Merry Christmas to all!
Dear Max, Since you’re less than one year old, what you’ll like most about Christmas is the wrapping paper and boxes…you won’t give a hoot about what’s inside them. I made something for your room for you – so instead of sending it to Massachusetts just so it could get sent back to your home…
Quail quArt!
At the YMCA show I did earlier this month, a couple of the Going Green totes I made had birds with little curliques on their heads & tails: A woman walking by was taken by them, and commissioned me to make an 8″ x 10″ piece of quArt for her mother who loved quail! Now,…
Emerging from Santa's Sweatshop…
I’ve been hard at work, trying to get a bunch of Going Green Totes done before the USPS mailing deadline of Saturday comes & goes. Of course, since I was making “some” why not make more so I have a few for my shop? Wacky, I know…but behold the fruits of my labors: I’ve grouped…
Opinions needed
So, I’ve just listed 3 messenger bags in my etsy shop. All my previous listings I’ve had one item/listing. This time I show all 3 messenger bags in one listing, with a front view picture of each individual bag and then using a single collage to illustrate all the details of the bags like this:…
Bring on the Christmas Elves!
That’s it, I’m done! No more shows for me! Last week was hard, with 4 days of selling added on top of teaching my last week of classes. And, I probably won’t do those 2 shows again – but it was worth it this year, as my little business is “in the black” for this…
Something old, something new…
I’ve got one more holiday show to do, this weekend at the local YMCA. 1st, I had to make more Grab n’ Gos – my last one from the previous batch was lonely! Then, I finally had time to crank out a bunch of lower price point items: different sized shopping bags. I bought the…
Commissions
I finished 2 commissioned bags over the holiday break: I love doing commissioned, because I know that the bag has a home whilst I’m making it! I’m also able to make small changes. For example, the tote for Nicholle’s Mom has slightly longer handles, and the tote for MaryBeth’s sister is in her favorite color…

My name is Candy Glendening,and I’m addicted to color! I dye fabric so I can have just the hue & texture I want, and then use it to make art quilts and “everyday art”.
