New Summer Schedule, change your calendars

Published almost 3 years ago • 2 min read

Summer is a busy time for everyone and I am taking this time to make some structural changes to my live lessons. Days and times will NOT change, just how I deliver the lessons.

Use the Dashboard to get to the right place at the right time.

Tues: YOUTUBE Public Access while the lesson is live, a full recording will be posted inside the membership, a partial replay only may be available on Youtube. If I am unavailable, this video lesson will be a pre-recorded one.

Wed: Zoom, hook-in hosted by Kim Hirt, available to the public.

Fri: Zoom, The Rug Hooking Journey members only. This will be the best place to sit and hook and ask all your rug hooking questions. Keep a list during the week so you can make the best use of this time! In depth consultations should be done privately, or in a VOW (Virtual Online Workshop) class. Live Q&A's will happen at least twice per month.

Sat: Zoom, hook-in, available to the public. Pull up your frame and hook. I'll be hooking with you. At 4:30 we will have a breakout for the Stair Riser course (which is closed to enrollment, but will be available again in a few months).

At least twice a month: I will be posting a recorded lesson inside the courses I offer. At least one will be to a course in The Rug Hooking Journey membership. I will also be developing new courses, several that are close to being ready, but I have not had the time during the past year to complete them. Now I can use the hours that I previously spent at the hook-ins to wrap them up if I need the extra time.

What's new?

Click on this icon in the Dashboard (tip: you do not even need to be logged in) to see a monthly message from me and to view all the new/updated lessons from the past 45 days.

Recap

So the schedule is still Tues, Wed, Fri & Sat. It still happens at 4pm eastern daylight time. It is my involvement and use of delivery method that is changing.

Tuesday may be pre-recorded. Friday may be an unmonitored hook-in for members only. Saturday is a public hook-in but that may be unmonitored also. This will give me a full week off if I need it so I can take time to travel and visit my daughter and grandchildren in Fort Worth, TX or just take one day here and there for a day trip with my husband without affecting you.

NOTE: Until the current Stair Riser class is complete I will continue to be there at 4:30pm on Saturday.

Live, Recorded or Unmonitored?

You can tell what kind of lesson is coming up by using the Google Calendar in the sidebar of the Dashboard. I add the topic of the next lesson or future lessons. As I carve out more free time, I will be able to schedule and plan out the content. Please note that the topics will move around and change as I get settled in this new routine.

**** If I am unavailable, I will make a note of that in the calendar. Office Hours on Friday will become Unmonitored Hook-in, The Tuesday Live Lesson will become Recorded Youtube Video, etc.

I'm feeling very isolated as I write this over the weekend to be delivered to you on Tuesday morning. I was supposed to be at the Sauder Village February Hook-in right now! This is the first time they cancelled for weather. All we had to do is get there. If we got snowed in, oh well, no problem. Instead, the snow came a bit early. We need each other now more than ever I don't mind being alone. I do need to step away from time to time to recharge my batteries, so that makes me an introvert,...

I am still feeling very weak but I think I can rally tonight for Office Hours only. I should be back up to speed next week. Friday: Office Hours I will be holding Office Hours for members of The Rug Hooking Journey. Come with your questions! Click on the link in the Dashboard. You must be logged in and a member. VOW Classes While I think I have the strength for Office Hours, the VOW classes are much more demanding and back to back. I'd rather delay the classes and do a good job than muddle...

I've tried to be optimistic, but I am still under the weather and will not be able to teach during the next few days. Friday Office Hours Today's Office Hours* will be hosted by one of our members, Jessica Schick. You may remember her rugs from the VOW Show and Tell. Jessica has been in all three VOW (Virtual Online Workshops) with me and has attended almost all Office Hours and Live! Lessons since Covid happened. She has heard most of my lessons more than once. If she cannot answer a...
