I’ve had a few big changes in my life lately, and I wanted to be open and honest about them. So today’s blog post answers the questions, “What’s going on at ChellyWood.com?” and “Are things changing?”
Some of the biggest changes in my life lately are a.) My father passed away, b.) I retired from my job as a school librarian, and c.) I’ve been writing a personal memoir.

To answer the question that appears above, yes, I’m still teaching online classes. It was my intention to start building a new course in doll clothing design with C&T Publishing, but it doesn’t seem to be possible right now. I’m surprisingly overwhelmed with other responsibilities.
In fact, this week, I have jury duty! So while I’d like to finish writing my memoir and begin creating a new doll clothes design class, that won’t be possible while I have jury duty. Stuff like that just keeps getting dropped into my lap for some reason…
However the two courses I’ve already designed for C&T Publishing are still available, and you can click the links I’ve provided here to learn more about them.
In fact, one of the students enrolled in my C&T Publishing courses shared with me the jeans she designed for Lottie dolls (see image above), and so it seems like everyone who is enrolled or has been enrolled in my online courses, has really been enjoying the lessons.
I love to hear that!
And since I’m on that subject, if any of you have completed one of my online courses, please leave a review. It helps other people find my classes when you do. Thanks!
So are things changing at ChellyWood.com? Not really. I’ve just been overwhelmed!
You may have noticed that I’ve quit blogging five days a week and instead, I’m only doing three blog posts a week. That’s because I’ve had too much on my plate lately.
I’m still crafting though, and when I start to see the light of day, I’ll have more free doll clothes sewing patterns to share.
Thank you to those of you who’ve reached out, wishing me well, as I processed the loss of my father. Your good hearts and well wishes have been deeply felt.
Now I’m just waiting for things to slow down enough to really put time and effort into my website, my memoir, new online courses, and the many other tasks that have been on hold for quite some time.
