I just saw that Miette, the lovely little bakery and candy store, is now offering cake and cookie decorating classes. I really want to take the cookie decorating class! Soon after I finished college and was in "the working world" I took a letterpress class. I was so excited about all the new things I had learned, I wouldn't shut-up about it. It made me realize how happy I am when I'm learning new things. I try to take at least three or four new classes a year. What about you? Are you taking any good classes this summer?

ReplyDeleteGreetings:)
Have a great day!!
I just enrolled my son (3 1/2) in a Spanish class...and then found out that I take it with him. I am more excited than I probably should be. It is an emersion class where the teacher only speaks spanish. I am so excited to learn along with him. No other classes planned, but I'd love to find a cake decorating one!!
ReplyDeleteI'm the same way (which is probably one of the reasons it took me so long to finally graduate because i kept changing majors to learn new things.) I'm taking a jewelry design class at the community college in the fall and I totally can't wait. Cake decorating looks like it would be fun too.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree! So far this year I've taken swimming classes, a photography class, a Thai cooking class and Pilates reformer classes! I love learning new things!
ReplyDeleteA very happy day in deed. We served Miette Cupcakes at our wedding. I'd like to take a baking class with them. Yummers.
ReplyDeletei always wanted to take a cooking class - even if just @ William Sonoma or something - 1 more thing i need to do and check off bucket list ..

A cookie decorating class sounds so much fun! I am planning on taking an upholstery class this summer! I can't wait!
ReplyDeleteDo grad school classes count? :)
ReplyDeleteLooking for a letterpress class to take in New York...any ideas? Wish I was in your area!
I'd love to go to a cake decorating class, that would be so much fun! I'm planning to take a patternmaking class this year and I would love to go to a letterpress class, I don't think we have anything like that in Australia.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with emersing oneself into learning something totally new.
ReplyDeleteI wish I lived close enough to take your letter press class... that would be a fun learning experience.
Hula Hooping: The most practical skill.
ReplyDeleteI just need to find a rave and start wearing neon clothing.

ReplyDeleteThai fruit carving class at LA comm. college--it was awesome!

Holy cow, I'm in love with Miette and they way they design their cakes. Would love to take this class. And I'm with you. I'm a freak when I take sewing classes. It's all I can talk about. Love learning new skills. So fun.
ReplyDeletethose look great!
ReplyDeletei would love to take a class or two this summer - some sort of cooking class and a dance class. I would also love to learn how to use a pottery wheel.
I just started my MBA and this is how I feel about my classes. Even though they are difficult, I love learning the new info and trying new things.
ReplyDeleteI have decided after I graduate, I'm going to take classes to become a yoga instructor!
Yay Natalie - I'm already a yoga teacher and I have to tell you it's super awesome (except for when it's not, but it usually is) ♥
ReplyDeleteAlso for me - I've been hoop-dancing for a couple months now and I'm learning to spin poi
i'm taking a flower arranging class tonight at a groovy little flower shop...so excited!
ReplyDeleteI am dying to take your letterpress class - maybe a weekend trip to SF for my 30th?!? For now, I am super excited to take a calligraphy class in Seattle at the end of the month.
ReplyDeleteI'll be at the July cookie class-- maybe I'll see you there. :)
ReplyDeleteSo lovely and fun! There's something to be said about absorbing, creating, and contributing beauty to the world! I am taking ASL, which is fantastic! I've only been enrolled two weeks but can already sign quite extensively. It's such an artistic language.
ReplyDeletei really want to take the decorating classes at Miette. They sound ridiculously good!
ReplyDeleteI'm taking a screen printing & a typography class this summer. I'm half way done & I'm loving them! I, like you, don't shut up about all the things I'm learning & am probably driving my family crazy.
Thanks everybody!* We would love to have you in our classes! And I would love love love to take Jordan's letterpress class- that's always high been on my list of "Things I'd Like to Learn How to Do".

Such pretty sweets! I am the same way after I've learned something new! I definitely would love to take some cooking classes and I've been also wanting to learn french!
ReplyDeleteTaking a cookie decorating class would be SO much fun! I just took the Making a Pattern class by Nicole's Classes. Loved it.
ReplyDeleteWhen a good friend was losing her hearing, we enrolled in an American Sign Language class. I also took ballroom dancing with my husband....nobody would mistake us for Derek & Nicole. I'd like to find an adult Tap class (no recitals please!
ReplyDeleteOh I LOVE Miette, but had no idea they offered classes! I can't wait to try it out. It could be dangerous though, I can see myself baking up a storm afterward.
ReplyDeleteas a former letterpress student of YOURS i have to agree that learning new things keeps you inspired. this summer, i'm taking a film photography class and loving it. keep us posted if you take the cookie class!
ReplyDeleteSame thing here- I try to take a class or 2 a year... this summer I am taking a class at SVA for Creative Business Development!
ReplyDeleteI love Miette- great post!
