It’s been a busy and hectic time. I’ve just finished filming 3 courses in 3 weeks, as well as a Live Office Hours session. You can’t really tell in the start of the video, but there are samples on the floor behind me that need to be organized and put away. And so on today’s vlog episode, I’m going to show you what it all looks like, and take some time to clean up the studio.
Join me for a bit of a behind-the-scenes as I work on cleaning up the studio, plus at the same time share a sneak peek of everything we’ve been filming for the School of SweetGeorgia. Part of the reason I was in a compressed time schedule, was to make space for other instructors coming through the studio to film. I’m very excited to talk more about this new SOS content in today’s video.
If you’ve ever been interested in what we’re doing at the School, then I welcome you to come check us out and see what we’re doing! Sign up for just $1 to try out the SOS site for two weeks, using the code: CRAFTWITHUS. You get to see all of the courses and check out the forums to see what people are making and posting. We would love to have you come and join this fabulous and warm, amazing community. If you’re at all curious about learning how to weave, how to combine colours, or learning how to spin or any of the fibre arts, we really encourage you to come and join the SOS community. See what we’re all about and spend some time learning the fibre arts together!
And now, I’m going to enjoy this newly cleaned studio for a bit. I really appreciate you joining me at these Taking Back Friday videos and for being here. I’ll see you in the next one!
