We were cooling down here in Tucson but the last few days have been in the upper 90s. I know fall will come eventually, and in Tucson it is worth the wait. It is our best time of the year weatherwise, along with winter and such a change from the snow in Boston today.
Yesterday we went to The Tucson Wool Festival and it was wonderful, can't wait to go again next year. They were shearing goats(angora) and sheep, and next year I'm taking my camera. I'm going to make a pin/brooch of one of their goats with their dreadlocks, before they are shaved. It was a wonderful experience, the animals: goats, sheep, and alpacas, crafts and yarn: felt jewelry and bags, weaving, and many wonderful and beautiful items crafted from the yarn. If you like to knit, weave, felt, or crochet it was well worth the trip and if you like animals, you'll love it, too.
Only 11 days until Flair A-Fair. I'll be taking just my metalwork, no beaded pieces to this event. The weather forecast is in the 70s in 10 days, so hopefully we'll enjoy cooler temperatures for this event. I made a couple of handhammered copper bangle bracelets and I really like them. They are simple, I prefer a bangle to a cuff bracelet, and these are nice and sturdy. I am in the process of working on a hammered brass bangle and I can't wait to see it completed.
