If You Could

If you could attend a program, presentation, or workshop in person with me, what would it be?

Why do I ask?

This past Saturday, I participated in GCVM’s Hometown History Expo. The one day event turned out to be an excellent opportunity to network with local history sites and program providers.

I planned a simple make-n-take combining pen wipes and buttons, drawing together fancy work, letter writing, re-use, and Rochester’s button manufacturing history.  Last minute, I decided to bring along display copies of my books and one of my pinking machines.

In chatting with people from various historical societies and history sites from around the local region, numerous people asked if I do demonstration, talks, and such.

Of course, I said yes and gave them one of my old cards, which I need to replace. 

In the past, I’ve done a variety of programs, including tabled demonstrations, workshops, and presentations.

If you’ve followed me for a while, you likely know promoting myself is not one of my strengths. Thus, this post and question:

If you could attend a program, presentation, or workshop in person with me, what would it be?

  1. Sew a doll hat workshop.

  2. I would probably go for some of the needlework sessions – sewing cases, pincushions, etc. Even though I am not reenacting any longer, I still like making things like this.
