It's All In the Cards

The Cool2Craft Creative Play Theme for September is My Quilt. I made up a set of cards for my goofy video so I could "reveal" the theme as a fortune teller.

This is the card that represents me. I'm looking for submissions from everyone! If you're a quilter, I want to see what you're working on! If you're not a quilter you have a story to tell about what makes up your quilt of life. Madame Yendrovich (that's the Polish pronunciation for Jedrowicz) wants to know!

Here's the link to this month's goofy video Go watch and then email me with your photos and story - candace@cool2craft.com

Welcome to my blog! It's all about art, whimsy and Halloween!

My first memories of Halloween involve my dad making a spooky short film with my older brothers' cub scout troop. We had an unfinished wall in the basement that he drew a cemetery scene on and he directed the boys to walk warily into the "graveyard" where a member of the troop was waiting to pop up wearing a mask to scare them. The old 8mm film had no sound, so the boys had to be very melodramatic. It was a hoot!

I remember a cardboard box robot costume with blinking Christmas light that Dad made for my brother, Mike. Dad always collaborated with Mom for any sewn bits of costumes. Mom was a patient and talented soul, herself. We always had way more fun than a person should have at Halloween!

If you love Halloween as much as I do, you'll want to check out the blogs I follow!
