Creativity is about play and a kind of willingness to go with your intuition. It's crucial to an artist. If you know where you are going and what you are going to do, why do it?
Frank Gehry

I don't know if it's the weather, or the fact that most of our family is close to fully vaccinated, but I feel a lot of hope right now. And - ridiculously loved getting ridiculously dressed up for some filming I did for an upcoming Global Quilt Connection event.

How are you feeling?

I also think my usual mode of operation is kicking in. I see a deadline coming up and suddenly I need to do ALL the things I probably should have been doing this entire past year. Things are going to pick up again next year. The pause is going to be over. I'm learning videography, SEO, and all kinds of nerdy business stuff. And it's FUN!

With light at the end of this pandemic tunnel,
what are you going to do with this opportunity?

Take a look below at all the things I'm working on. I know there will be one you can join me in!

Do you want to learn to teach online?

It's been a rough year hasn't it? Traveling teachers have been especially hard hit. It has also been a time to pause and think about what we really want to do next. Whether you already have teaching experience under your belt, or dream of starting what I think is one of the best careers out there, I can help you get up and running.

I believe strongly in lifting others. I want to share the research I've done and all the things I've learned with you, so that you can bring your amazing skills to a broader audience. And here's the bonus, with online teaching you can make more money with less work in the long run.

I'm building a course, a community really, where teachers can help each other avoid the struggles and feelings of complete overwhelm as they take their amazing skills into the online world.
