I hope that if you do celebrate Christmas you had a wonderful day yesterday! We sure did. It was just the four of us, and I’m afraid that I didn’t get very good pictures this year. But we all had a grand time! Logan, at 10 years old, was able to hold off the pre-Christmas…
I’ve been baking up a whole mess of Christmas cookies, and these molasses crinkles are Santa’s favorite! (Really! A few years ago Logan made him a questionairre with checkboxes and left it with the plate of cookies, and Santa chose the crinkles as his favorite. So although I may swap out other cookies from time…
My Candy Claus list is just about complete! All the niece and nephew and Mema gifts got shipped yesterday (USPS.com says with priority they’ll be there in time for Christmas). I’ve got to make a special sized clutch for a client to give his wife for Christmas! But it’s just one thing! So I’m gonna start baking…
Life is screaming down the fast lane right now. Thanksgiving came and went in a blur, there was so much to do! We had 11 people plus 4 little ones over for the main event, with another 6 coming for PIE! I didn’t get a lot of pictures, but highlights of the day include: I…
Wahoo! It’s Blogger’s Quilt Festival time! What I love most about this festival is the stories behind the quilts. I made this quilt in August, but it had been in my head for years! I’ve worked with my botanical sketch motifs for quite awhile, making smaller art quilts, pillows and my going green totes. With…
My internet friend Amy dreamed this up a couple of years ago, it’s an online quilt show where blogger’s post a picture of a quilt and talk about the story of that quilt. I interviewed her on my blog a year and a half ago. Here is Amy’s description of it: Bloggers’ Quilt Festival is for…
We’ve been working hard in the kitchen: Anyone want to take a guess at what that is? I’ll give you a hint – Liam’s taking Biology! Note the green cake around the edge, and the little green candies, and the big mis-shapen blob that takes up half the space, and the large red circle with…
Wahoo! Here in Redlands, the kids go back to school in early August! They’re on a modified traditional schedule, which means they only have 2 months off in the summer, and longer December and Spring breaks. This means they’re done with the whole first semester, exams and all, before Christmas, which makes lots of sense….
Well, I’m on my way to Long Beach and the International Quilt Festival show! I’ll be teaching people how to “Sketch with Scissors” from 12-1 at “Make it University”. We’ll be making these cute bird earrings: Later, from 2:45-4:45 I’ll be making Mod Houses in their “Open Studio”. I wanted to hang some finished ones…
Believe it or not, my hubby gets crazy ideas too! About this time last year he and I installed wood floors in my friend Liz’s house and then we ripped up some nasty old carpet and installed bamboo in two rooms in our house. This year, I’m taking it easy on him Because his “honey…
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”.
