I’ve been keeping my accounts with an excel spreadsheet for years (details blogged here). It worked for me because until these last few months, most of my sales were done in cash or with checks at shows, so I could just include a single line with a total from a show and be done. But…
It should not be a surprise, but as my business grows, my storage shrinks! I’ve done a series of de-cluttering and clearing out of unneeded supplies, and through the years I’ve narrowed in on how I like to work in my studio, storing items and supplies most often needed in the easy to reach places,…
I blogged last week about the need for new slipcovers for the Ikea stools my boys use. The light green I’d originally dyed them was no match for boys eating on them constantly! One big surprise I got – the new slipcovers I got from Ikea are way too big. Although the name of the…
Maree! I’ve sent you a message! Woot! Thank you all for entering, and “friending” me on the Google connect widget! A couple of you commented that you much prefer staying connected that way, so I’m glad I figured it out! I spent the weekend dyeing a bunch of going green tote bags and I’m also…
Hello All! First, I need to thank you all for the incredibly awesome energy you sent me in the comments yesterday….seriously, my heart is stronger because of them! I wanted to pop in and tell you that my next tutorial over at Lillyella’s is up: I detail how we install bamboo/hardwood floor. Go take a look, and…
I Am SO EXCITED to show you the boys playroom complete! Here’s how it looked before: We had a great purge of toys & books, there are 4 sets of local friends with younger kids that are now happy to have stuff that the boys have outgrown. We then ripped out the carpet in the…
We’ve been chipping away at the redecorating of the boys bedroom & playroom I posted about here. Please note: I didn’t repaint these walls, I did this when we moved in over 6 years ago. (You can read a bit more about this and the quilts I designed for the boys here). By last Wednesday,…
I’m starting a new blogging adventure! Once a month I’ll be posting a DIY tutorial on one of my home decorating adventures over at Lillyella. If you haven’t see Nicole’s blog yet, you’re in for a treat! She’s got lovely things to look at, all sorts of crafty how tos, and deelicious recipes to try,…
After the declutter to end all declutters in the boys playroom and bedroom last week, we then ripped up the nasty carpet and padding on Friday. Although the walls of the boys bedroom were painted when we first moved in (see that story along with the Southwestern style quilts I made for their beds here)…
We’re gearing up to install bamboo floors in the boy’s bedroom and playroom! Hooray – goodbye hideous brown carpet! Hello cleanable, light and airy bamboo! Logan is especially excited because it’s very hard to actually play with legos and toys with wheels on carpet, so hooray for a more playable surface! (In my dreamworld, I’d put down…
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”.
