Lots of exciting things have happened in the last month! First of all, school started and life went back to being crazy-hectic. I love my job, but I am sure tired at the end of the day!
Then we went to the Midwest Old Thresher's Reunion the first weekend of September and spent our time looking at antiques, crafts, and horses. A few of those crafts may have made it back to my place at the end of the weekend.... :-)
Last weekend was the Wisconsin Sheep and Wool Festival and I LOVED IT! Each year we spend the weekend learning new skills and catching up with friends that we really only see once a year, and it is always a blast. I got together with many of my Ravelry friends and I took two cool classes. On Saturday I learned how to spin using a Navajo spindle. I spun a bulky Navajo Churro singles that is 20 yards, and I started another bulky yarn. Hopefully you'll get to see the finished product in this month's wrap-up in a couple weeks! On Sunday I took a class on wet-felting necklaces. Using just roving, a bead, water, and soap, I made a beautiful necklace that I'm wearing right this second. Pictures will be in the monthly wrap-up soon.
Speaking of monthly wrap-ups...I never did August!! I didn't finish a single craft in August. I spent some time hand-quilting, knitting, and crocheting, but I just worked on WIPs and I didn't actually finish any of them. I'm such a bum. :-)
We have an event coming up in two weeks! On October 3rd my town is having a Pumpkin Festival complete with craft sale, and FuzzyDorff Creations will have a booth! If you find yourself in my neck of the woods, come on over and check us out! We will have many original crafts including crocheting, knitting, and quilting, plus we will have a selection of our antiques and auction finds. You're sure to find something great!
We hope to see you there!
Until then, happy crafting!
