I made an index card holder for a customer a couple of years ago, and then had to make her another one last summer when she lost the first one! I got a request from another person who also organizes her life with index cards, would I make her a pair? Why yes, indeed I…
Spring Break has Sprung! We’ve been so busy that my Hubby hasn’t yet done the annual rose pruning that simulates winter here in Southern California (tradiationally, it needs to be done by Valentine’s Day). While working on his Science Fair project last week (“A Chloroplast Investigation”), Logan snapped these pix of our last roses of…
Our son Liam has been growing as a trombone player, and really beginning to blossom as a musician. He auditioned for the California All State Band last December (by sending in a CD) and found out in early January that he’d made it! But which band? California, being such a big state, has enough really…
Although seems like a lifetime ago, less than 2 months ago, I dyed a slipcover for a customer who loved burnt orange and turquoise. When I sent it to Rakiya, she wrote back “I love love loooove my ottoman!”. Hooray, I love happy customers! She also sent me a picture of it installed in her…
My 10 year old Logan is a California kid – he wears shorts 355 days a year, and I have to force him into jeans on the few coldest, rainiest, miserable days. He really hates getting dressed up, and can put up quite a fuss. Last weekend, during the wind up to him NOT…
Today’s post is a Q & A between myself and Scoutie Girl Tara Gentile. Tara, well she’s an inspiration to me! She’s been getting artists and other indie business folk to think differently about money. To not feel guilty if we try to actually make money with our passion. Her e-book 52 weeks to blogging your passion was a huge…
Oh dear, I’ve been meaning to blog about this forever! I added Google friend connect to my site at some point because a couple of folks had commented and said “I can’t connect with you!” As I read blogs through Google Reader, I hadn’t really thought about this aspect, but discovered that it was possible for wordpress…
What is it about the square? This shape never ceases to excite me! As I dry and organize my swatches for a new “Candiotic Table” for my online class, I am so inspired. I’ve had an idea for an installation of squares of varying colors for a couple of years…I don’t know when I’ll get…
It’s been a busy week, and I’ve been dyeing another triad for a new “Candiotic Table of Elemental Color” for my e-course. One of the aspects of the course is to help people figure out how to fit dyeing fabric in around their schedule…and what I did this evening is a perfect example! I’d dyed…
One of the reasons I remembered to blog about Brian and Laura’s wedding scarves the other day was because I needed to make them some baby clothes! They’ve got a baby girl due in a month and I wanted to bring some tie dye baby clothes to the baby shower: I love giving a rainbow…
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”.
