My poor sewing machine had been sleeping all these years after one use but it has definitely been over worked these days, in a good way. So far, I've taken Sewing 101 and within 2 weekends I've learned to make so many items, such as table napkins, tool bag, pillow case, and reversible tote. My favorite has been the tote bag that I've gone fabric frenzy; thank goodness Joann was having a sale. By no means my sewing skills is perfect after one class and I've been best friends with the seam ripper, but it's been non stop fun making these one of a kind items picked and made by me that are actually functional. Not only are the classes fun, you really learn all the facts and know hows that'll go a long way if you really want continue mastering your skills. Signed up for 102 class already and exited to see how these classes can help me in a long way.

I booked the Hot Havana Nights cooking class for the evening of Saturday, 11/19/17 for my boyfriend…read moreand I as part of a birthday surprise. This class is part of the Fusion of Flavors series that features an internationally inspired menu focusing on a cuisine from a different country each class. There were three staff members present to help with the flow of the class -- one chef (Chef M.), and two assistants. Chef M. was phenomenal. She led the class with confidence as she gave demonstrations, useful tips, and instructions. If I could rate her separately, she would easily receive a 5-star rating from me. The class was full the night we attended. I believe there are somewhere between 16-20 seats per class. About 80% of our class was made up of a large party celebrating a birthday. To say they were a rowdy, slightly annoying bunch would be an understatement. This is when I learned lesson #1: YOU ARE AT THE MERCY OF THE OTHER ATTENDEES. After a slightly slower start, thanks to pausing for the large group to take selfies and group photos before we began, we went right into preparing the meal. The meal consisted of 3 courses -- salad, entree, and dessert. The group was slit into teams -- we paired up within the teams to tackle each menu item. The recipes were easy to execute -- nothing too daunting. Plus, Chef M. and the two assistants were on hand whenever you had a question. Chef M. walked around and checked our progress regularly. Ohh I should mention, wine was available before during and after class :-) When all was said and done, we sat down at the table to have our meal. This is when the wine pairing section of class began. We were given several wines to taste throughout the course of the meal. Unfortunately, by the time I got to the table with our main dishes, NO chicken was left. Apparently, one of my classmates took two pieces, leaving me with only side dishes and salad. This is when I learned lesson #2: GET YOUR FOOD EARLY. If someone gets a double helping in your class, be sure to make a fuss. You spend $80 for a nice dinner, not two sides and some wine. Overall, I enjoyed the way the class was structured, the kitchen/venue, and the staff. My only regret is that I went the same night as the large group that basically took over our class.

Last night, I encountered one the toughest but most-enjoyable workouts when I went to the Circus Arts Institute. Located in a loft complex near Dekalb Ave, I joined a number of students (I was one amongst four beginner students, in particular) for a 90-minute session consisting of a pretty strenuous warm-up and cool-down as well as activities including tightrope walking, rope climbing, and trapeze. I would find myself both wired and tired after the session, the excitement and fun of what we did clashing with the unexpected amount of exertion required. Everyone here is all smiles and encouraging, eager to see you succeed in anything that you might try.

So, yeah, the circus classes aren't necessarily related to my tassel and glitter endeavors. (Maybe it was sparked by Yvette calling me Cirque de Sadie and suggesting it should be my stage name.) Whatever. Every few months, we'd be at an event and there'd be girls up on a trapeze or in the, um, circle-thing. "Freakin' amazing!" I would say to myself. "I can totally do that." I looked into it, and bookmarked the Circus Arts Institute web site. Then another year passed, until a few of us were talking about pole dance classes. I'd like to give that a try, too, but first I had to put up and give the trapeze a go. I enrolled in May for a 12-week session. Carrie Heller, who runs - and lives in - the Institute, is really fascinating. She encourages everyone to do cardio outside of class; she talks about diet and nutrition; she has a degree in physiology, I think, as well. In the first class, I climbed the Spanish Web (the rope), got up on the trapeze, and attempted walking the tight wire and juggling. Not so good with the juggling. Next class, I tried rings and loved it... got totally hooked. For my birthday this year, Bryant got our friends to contribute to a gift certificate for a second session. Some of them came to the last night of the first session, which was a sort of show-off day. I did a rings routine; nothing too hard, but it certainly demonstrated what I had learned over the first couple of months. Now, my second session is halfway complete. I'm going to have to re-allocate some funding to continue with it. Circus/aerial training is the crack - highly recommended crack.

What this meant was that we may need to switch classrooms for part of the day to accommodate. This was not at all a problem. The only difference between the classes was that one was a little smaller than the other, but still comfortable. Ms. Jan was our instructor and I highly recommend her. She plainly set class expectations in the beginning and kept the class on task for the entire two-weeks. She was very good at highlighting important information about real estate rules, law, and prepared us for what would be on the exam. Her classroom management skills are stellar. She created an environment of learning, which showed she cared. I highly recommend Barney Fletcher.
