Hey gang, is anybody out there going to Bead Fest Texas next week?
I'm combining a business trip to California with a stop-off in Austin to see my lovely daughter for a couple of days, then a weekend in Arlington to attend Bead Fest.
I've never been to one of these shindigs before. There is one in Philly every year, which is much closer to where I live, but for the past several years I've had schedule conflicts. I'm determined to go to the big Kahuna (the Bead & Button Show ) in Milwaukee someday, but I think our summer vacation plans will interfere with this year's show, so that will stay on my bucket list for now.
In Texas, I'm scheduled to take an all-day workshop on metalworking with the fabulous Lexi Erickson. (Maybe I'll learn enough soldering skills to attempt that copper jewelry display I blogged about yesterday!)
I won't be blogging next week while I travel, but I promise to show off my stash when I return, plus my metalsmithy attempts.
I'm not going to be able to take any classes, but I am going to be at Bead Fest on Friday only with my mom and sister. Last year was the first time I've ever gotten to go. Didn't have enough time, but it was a blast.
