Apologies to my RSS readers, I was working hard behind the scenes yesterday and today, and I inadvertently published some new pages as blog posts. I noticed my snafu quickly and fixed it, but I know that a few of you may have gotten odd, no text posts in your readers! Why was I working so hard behind the scenes, you ask? Well, I’ve learned how to sell things right here from my own website! WooHoo! Although Etsy makes things really easy, it also makes things really hard for someone like me. Even though I did some research before opening up an Etsy shop, I didn’t truly realize how difficult it would be for me to show my wares the way I’d like them to be shown! I’m very excited to be joining Art Wall Online next month, and used this deadline as an opportunity to figure out how to make PayPal “Add to Cart” buttons! Ooh, look, I even figured out how to make buttons with dropdown options!
Although I try to keep this blog about my process, not about selling, I just wanted to share a little “yeehah” with y’all, because that was more work than I though it was going to be (big surprise…) And if you take a look around the shop an see something confusing or odd, please feel free to drop me a line and let me know, I’d appreciate it!
While I was at it, I also added another video of my free motion machine quilting, and added to my description of what free motion machine quilting is and how it differs from free motion machine sketching.

I now deserve some time in the hot tub!
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”.

I was wondering what was going on!
Congratulations on figuring out how to work behind the scenes! And a drop-down menu! How great is that?!?!?! That is definitely Hot tub worthy! I figured out, with minimal help from AT&T, how to get my new laptop (my Christmas gift to me) to not only see the wifi, but to actually access it! Not bad for a great grandma, if I do say so myself. Doing a happy dance here, too.
Have a happy, safe New Year’s Eve!

Oh congratulations! I want to do that, too, someday….. I love big pictures and large detail shops. Everyone wants to see more, right? Best Wishes for the shop and for you and your family for the new year. ((hugs)) rosie
Thanks Rosie! It’s really NOT HARD! I PROMISE! Just time consuming if you have to generate a new button for every piece of art you want to sell! Shoot me some questions if you’d like!
Congratulations! Isn’t it gratifying to figure these things out?!
Happy New Year!
