Wow Anne!
That IS a lot for you. I totally get your panic. I'm sure it will get better though, sounds like you're well on your way to a great relationship.
My weekend was CRAZY. First, I was feeling a bit insecure about next weekend (I'm going to teach at a Nordic Quilt convention, it's a BIG deal, there will be people there from all the Nordic countries, I'm going to be teaching three classes in three days, I have students from everywhere but Iceland). Plus I was sort of feeling insecure about my future. What if 2010 comes around and no one wants me to teach anymore? What is my next step?
Anyhoo, Saturday(or was it Friday?) I get a phone call from one of my students, she is SO excited, and talking about wanting to take another of my classes, but it's full and so on. She said there is a group of them that were thinking of coming down to the shop where I normally teach, but to be honest, I don't think the owner will let me teach that class again(she's a bit weird that way). So I spent the day thinking a lot and am writing up a sheet that explains my costs if I come out to teach to them, or they can have the option of coming to my hometown! It's been kind of exciting thinking about THAT as an option (there are a couple of places I can rent to hold the class in).
So then on Sunday, I get another phonecall saying 'we need a favor from you. Each country participating next weekend is going to show two quilts from two different quilters at the big dinner on Saturday night. Do you think you could bring a quilt for us to show?' wwwwhhhhAAAAAATTTT??? I decided to not point out that I wasn't actually Swedish. ;-) I also hadn't booked a ticket for the dinner, but she didn't care! She just wanted one of my pieces. ACK. It's been hard though because I know there will be a lot of people there, I need something that shows up, but something that has meaning, something that's me...
So am I babbling? yes. Am I excited? Yes. Am I freaked out? You betcha!
I've got some work to do.
hugs to all
