Has anyone read the new book, The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern? It is very high on my wishlist. It's supposed to be excellent. She even has a blog here: http://erinmorgenstern.com/blog/ No classes this weekend. No classes locally now until mid October. Some would say I should be grateful for the mini break, but I'm still not used to it. I used to teach every weekend and that's not the case with fewer stores and shops to teach at. It just makes me anxious and a bit like a bum. Don't get me wrong, I work from home more than 40 hours a week but teaching is what keeps me going on so many levels. There's something to be said about being in a room full of creative folk who get it and seeing how the ideas you're sharing transform and mutate into something else entirely in a class setting. It's magical and I really miss not having that every weekend like I used to when I had 11+ stores to teach at in So CA. Now I have 2. |

I have read a small portion of The Night Circus. Interesting for sure. I am so sorry there have been so many stores closing so you can't teach. Stay strong, my friend.
That's a lovely eye catching page.
Kelly,
i think Sept is kind of busy for parents you know kids school stuff.
also economy is kind of slow.
have you ever thought of teaching in someone's house or studio?
i volunteer my house for a good time with you and i know your prices are reasonable
i would be happy to help you organize (and pay for mine of course)
let me know. this could be a very exciting experiment for you and for me (yay!)

Thanks Ladies!
Carmen, I've actually taught in several people's homes and studios. I <3 it!
Thank you for your kind offer. I'm going to email you.
January, June and September are the worst months for classes.
I just want to put it out there that I'm open to new venues. :) Thanks!!
Interesting I picked it up at the book store yesterday but could only afford one book. I bought "The Forgotten Waltz".
I know what you mean to be around like minded people gets my creative juices flowing!
I can soo relate to your journal page!
See you in October ;)
Love the page and the sentiment. I love The Night Circus. So interesting. I'm sorry that you only have 2 stores to teach at. I wish more people would realize how important being creative is. I love the idea of doing classes in different places, great idea.
