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 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!)

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.
