I love meeting people and learning about their amazing interests. <br /><br />I wish you could join me too. Wouldn't it be great if I could get all of our blogfriends down to Adelaide for the week, show you all the sights and finish with a super day at the Maker Faire?<br /><br />Happy dreams!Jodiebodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11377052537742885631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703986833050265474.post-38691838218046029162017-07-14T16:05:48.940+09:302017-07-14T16:05:48.940+09:30Oh it is so exciting, Tamara, especially since the...Oh it is so exciting, Tamara, especially since the event is 'in my backyard'. I've been invited to participate in a number of markets but being outdoors is not compatible with my photosensitivity. A sheltered place is best. <br /><br />'Overprepare' is a word that could be in my vocabulary. I would rather be overprepared than underprepared. That is what lesson planning is about. The extra tasks that I need lead time for are sourcing materials and having time for delivery plus a practice run of my presentation with friends who want to learn.<br /><br />I would like to source yarn that is a natural fibre, is locally spun or milled from South Austraian fleece. I would like to support local woolgrowers and other local crafters but that also takes time to negotiate.<br /><br />2017 has been so busy, I still hadn't finished unpacking all of my materials from 2016's Maker Faire until June!<br /><br />I do hope I can find a volunteer role that works for Maker Faire and for me. I'm thinking about yarnbombing my chair!Jodiebodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11377052537742885631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703986833050265474.post-53281038487553566522017-07-10T23:14:26.580+09:302017-07-10T23:14:26.580+09:30I'm sure that you'll enjoy the fair either...I'm sure that you'll enjoy the fair either way, Jodie, and give a workshop next year.

I too tend to overprepare and put so many hours into the class I taught last month at our local fiber fest. Having a skip year and focusing on your health this year may well be a wise move. Volunteering on the day will still be a wonderful contribution and make you feel part of the action!

To do a workshop, I need to source materials, write my lesson plan(s) and print instruction sheets for participants to take home, and possibly yarn winding into smaller amounts for a small project to make it go further. I would like to improve on the backdrop and signage as well but it all takes time and money too. <br /><br />If I don't get there this year, I will definitely be applying for next year. It was such a thrill to be chosen last year. I hope I won't let anyone down. I do want to catch up with the enthusiasts from last year to find out how they are going with their crochet.<br />Jodiebodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11377052537742885631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703986833050265474.post-73257533667855651092017-07-08T17:36:41.837+09:302017-07-08T17:36:41.837+09:30So sorry to hear that you won't be able to hea...So sorry to hear that you won't be able to head a workshop when you enjoyed it so much last year. Maybe you could combine your skills with someone else, but your health is more important and comes first.
