Free Class Viewing On Bluprint Until October 12th

Did you hear the news? From now until October 12th, Bluprint is airing ALL Crafty classes for FREE!! Yes, you read that right. You can view Crafty Classes for FREE!! 

I've already taken advantage of it by browsing a few classes I was interested in, but wasn't sure if I would like. Being able to watch the classes can really help you to make that decision on whether or not to purchase the class. (Full disclosure: I am currently watching Marilee Rockley's tatting class.)

Sitting on the fence about a class or two? Now is the time to really see how an instructor teaches and know for sure if the class is right for you.

I am already sold on a couple of classes now that I have been able to sample the class and the instructor's style.

Please spread the news and let your friends and family know about this great opportunity that Crafty has provided through Bluprint.

You can follow this link below or clink on the banner at the lower right side of my blog.

Sock Summit 2011 Teaching Proposal

I did something very daring a couple of weeks ago. I sent in a teaching proposal for the Sock Summit 2011. The call was sent out that there was a need for teachers and before my mind could figure out what my hands were doing, I was already typing away.

I haven't taught a class of any kind in a few years. I really miss teaching. I use to teach beginning knitter classes at Michael's Craft Store in Silverdale, Washington. I also taught loom knitting and holiday crafts. Before that, I use to teach makeup and costume design for the theatre.

When I saw there was a need for more teachers at the sock summit, I just couldn't resist applying. I must admit that my proposal wasn't the usual professionally written, double-spaced, formatted submission. But, it was funny as hell to write and read afterwards. If nothing else, the powers-that-be should get a good chuckle out of it.

We should be finding out soon whose proposal got accepted. I would say I'm waiting on pins and needles, but my pins are being used to block a scarf right now and my needles are currently being used to knit some socks. Good luck to all those who have applied.
