My laptop crashed yesterday! I'm pretty sure it's just a hard drive crash, but it means I'm a little out of commission and I'll probably be needing to fork out quite a bit of cash to try get some of the data pulled from it. Luckily I do have a new and larger hard drive for it on hand. So, I'm hoping they can swap the hard drives get that new one going and send me on my way with that one while they try recover data from the old one, but we'll have to see. In the meantime, I'm having a sale - the current and the next classes are all $5 off and all the knitting patterns are .50 off in hopes I can generate some sales to help pay for this. http://www.designedlykristi.com/shoppingcart/ If you've been thinking about taking Printmaking, Backgrounds, Beg Bookbinding, or Intro to Collage Design, this would be a *really* great time for you to sign up. And, if you've thought about my knitting patterns, again, now would be a *really* great time for you to order them! I'd appreciate any word spread of the sale as well... It's the worst time for it to happen as a term of classes just started. But I've known the hard drive hasn't been happy for over a year and procrastinated about taking it in because it seemed I always had something important going on - classes, or prep for classes, or a knitting pattern release to prep for etc. And, frankly, the thought of being without my laptop is like the thought of being without my right arm! I'll be calling a recommended place in a few minutes when they open and will know more then. In the meantime, if you are trying to get ahold of me try my gmail account as the web mail for my domain name sucks! kristi.schueler (AT) gmail (DOT) com and if you hear of anyone having troubles contacting me, pass that along. Any e-mail sent yesterday was probably lost or will likely be lost for a week or more... Oh, I also won't be getting my LJ Comment notifcations very regularly, so please don't hold it against me if you don't get a timely reply.

The first term of classes for 2006 at Designedly, Kristi is nearly upon us! The classrooms will be opening to those who have completed payment this afternoon so you can get a chance to get to know the classroom and each other a bit before the lessons start. There is still time to sign-up! Remember that this is the only chance to take these two classes in 2006. The choices this term are Bodacious Backgrounds and Printmaking. Sign-up at http://www.designedlykristi.com/shoppingcart/ or check out the FAQ at http://www.designedlykristi.com/classes/faq.html. If you sign up after the classrooms are opened this afternoon I'll get you in as soon as a can, but it may be a few hours between your PayPal payment clearing and your receipt of the classroom access codes. I do send out notifications 2-3 times each day. I also want to thank those of you who have helped spread the word about these classes. If you tell others to include that they found out about the classes from you in the comments section when signing up you can earn five dollars off any class of your choice in 2006! Get five or six people to sign-up and you have a free class! It is important that they include a full name or an e-mail address in that comment so I can keep accurate records (e-mail address preferred unless you have taken classes from me before and are in my shopping cart database) Thanks again for your support and assistance! Now, go forth and be creative! :-) Kristi http://www.designedlykristi.com

I made the hard decision this fall to stop offering my on-line classes. There were some changes taking place in our home and I was feeling spread a bit thin and burnt out and didn’t feel I was doing justice to my classes. I thought not teaching the classes would free up all kinds of time. Well, it seems all the time I spent administrating the classes has been eaten up by answering the numerous e-mails that come in each day asking me when I’ll be offering classes again. So, due to popular demand, my on-line classes are back again. Though there are a few changes. I’ll only be offering classes four times a year and I’ll only be offering two classes at a time.
I have taught 10 different classes since I started teaching through Eclectic Academy. Two have been retired for some time due to low enrollments. I have also chosen to retire the Creative Color class. There were too many technical issues in teaching this one on-line. Everyone’s monitors and printers displayed the colors too differently. I may come out with an e-book workbook of exercises that can be used as a companion to my favorite book on color, but that won’t be taking place until later in 2006.
This means that there will be seven classes rotated through 8 class slots, so in general each class will only be offered once each calendar year. So, if a class is offered and you want to take it, I encourage you to take it when you see it being offered.
The first term of 2006 will begin March 1st and I’ll be offering the popular Bodacious Backgrounds class as well as the Printmaking Techniques for the Home Studio class. You can sign up at http://designedlykristi.com/shoppingcart/index.php?cPath=21 as usual.
Now, I do have a favor to ask of you. In order to have enough time to actually create things and develop new techniques I have quit many of the on-line art groups. This means I need all the help I can get in spreading the word about the classes being offered again. So, if you are a part of an e-mail list or yahoogroup that would be interested in the classes please point them to www.designedlykristi.com/classes/ for more info. If you keep a blog please post about the classes there as well. I will be very grateful for your assistance in spreading the word! Tags: classes, self-promotion

 It has been an interesting week around here this week. It has been plagued with restless sleep, neck pain, dental work, and the first full week of water aerobics since mid-December. It has also been sprinkled with comforts - connecting again with DH, heated rice packs, flannel sock monkey PJs, handknit socks, good books, and good music. It has also been a week of triumph. While I've been loosing weight (slowly) since March it hasn't felt very real as there has been no acquisition of better fitting clothes. However, this week new jeans arrived and next week I should also have some new pants arriving. Then, today I went to Longmont to exchange a sweater my mom had given me for Christmas that was not my style and sized for me 30 pounds ago. I came home with another pair of pants and two great sweaters! Nevertheless it has been one looooong week! Now, this weekend I have things to look forward to - tonight we'll be sharing bowls of chilli and movie(s) with a few friends. Tomorrow I go to a late matinee of Memoirs of a Geisha followed by sushi at what may be the last stop on our Sushi Tour of Fort Collins (though there is rumor of a new or soon opening sushi restaurant). Then Sunday evening we'll be gathering at a friend's house for a pot luck taco bar to celebrate all the January birthdays in our social circle.

I finished DH's Dimple Socks on Wednesday night (just barely before his birthday was over) then didn't let him wear them until I could get natural light modeled shots :-)
