Let me tell you how I made my dream come true:
II decided to take a Polymer Clay class at the Senior Center in our town. I need to meet people and I sure did. It turned out that the “teacher” was 84 years old man, and he was new to polymer clay but wanted to learn. He is a lovely man with many years of experience teaching. I admire him greatly.
Well I have experience in polymer clay so I offered tid bits of advice and before you know it…the gentleman announces he is stepping down as teacher and said I’m asking me if she would take over. I said…we could do it together.
So, the result is…I am teaching Wire Wrap Jewelry at the Senior Center every Tuesday from 3-5 in the afternoon. I continued the month out with polymer clay, then switched the class to jewelry doing wire wrapping. I’m having a great time.
Soooooooo, I’m over at ACMoore buying supplies for this class and a woman behind me comments at the amount of items I’m holding..”Wow, that looks like serious crafting to me!” I mention teaching and she says, “Oh you should teach here also, I’m in charge of getting teachers and filling time slots for this store.” We exchange business cards and before you know it….I’m also teaching there, too on Wednesday nights 6-8 pm.
Luckily I had business cards with me at each class and make sure I give one to every student. I was asked if I teach on other days, and times…so I replied that I also teach at my studio in my home! Well, I go home and quick put up a Class Schedule Page on my website, and send emails to those students in the classes linking them to that page. Well, two of the ladies called and I now am teaching them in our bonus room over the garage…calling that my studio.
Don’t mean this post to sound bragging, but I have thought about how when we built our house and I wanted this room to be mine; and it is.
So I do believe in whatever you dream about becomes a reality. Happy dreams to all.
