Another Week !

Wow I can't believe another week has come and gone. Where did it go. Well I didn't get the homework done but I am remembering to blog.

I have several ideas for my handmade project and I am still pricing it out but I am hoping to be able to accomplish 2 of them.  As for the other goodies, well those are almost already picked out and finished.

Can't wait to start dueling and sending out a RAOK but right now I am off to scrapbook.  Next week will see lots more getting done.

Week 1, Getting to Know you.......

Getting to know all about you..................

Well it's time to get started and start getting to know everyone. So what can I say about me. I love to knit. I also do some crochet. I love to be on my computer, either on Facebook or Ravelry. My all-time favorite color is red. I also like most jeweltones. I like all colors really. I like wool and wool-blends but I can find a pattern and use almost any kind of yarn that I find, yes, even fun fur.  I LOVE Popcorn, plain, air-popped. Eat it everyday.  I also like milk chocolate and yogurt covered pretzels. Candy corn.  With exception of popcorn, my snacking goes by my mood.

I will be married 22 years in January. I have one teenage son. We go camping once a month and we have had annual passes to Disneyland since 1989 and we go often. 

So my answers to Wisty's 10 questions......

1. Someone with the same craft as you (either those listed above or another one). I knit, crochet, bead, scrapbook and sew.
2. Someone who was born in the same month as you. Born in California, USA
3. Someone from a different country. hmmmm, you know where I am from
4. A new HSKS Family member.  Nope not new
5. Someone who has been in 3 or more HSKS swaps. This is my fourth
6. Someone who has a bigger stash than you! (And if your stash is the biggest, proudly say so! I have lots and lots of yarn.  about 6 cupboards full.
7. Someone who both knits and crochets.  Me, I do both
8. Someone who has the same favorite color as you. Red
9. Someone who has the same favorite season/holiday as you. From Halloween to New Year's is my favorite season
10. Someone who has the same favorite fiber as you. Wool and wool-blends are my favorites.

So Happy Stalking!

HSKS 12 Begins!

Well the new term begins. This term we are separated by houses and we are searching Horcruxes. It is time to banish Voldemort once and for all.

I have been selected as head of Harry's Horcrux Hunters!  Our colors are Scarlet and Ebony. For short, I call my family the 3H crew!

I am really looking forward to this term and hope to have lots of fun!

Tyto is on his way

Well summer camp is almost over and Tyto my owl is on his way to take Clara her summer kit. I sure hope she likes it.  Gearing up for next term. It has been a fun Summer.  Getting lots of knitting done.  Now to get started on Christmas.

Progress!

Another week, whew! where does the time go. Well my homemade item for Clara is done but man-child came up with some embellishments that I feel must be made, but they are easy and should go quick. The hardest part is done. Now to finish the shopping and put it all together.

and!!!! I won this weeks drawing for a free gift from Hermione. I sooo cannot wait to see what I get. It's like Christmas :)

It's all Magical

HSKS Update: Wow! week three already. I need to get my tukis moving. I have the pattern picked, the yarn selected and pulled out of my stash and the shopping list for the extras, now just gotta get caught up and moving on it. I love the pattern and if it comes out cute then I think a few of my  "muggle" family members may be getting one for Christmas.

HLBOE Update: Again, got the pattern picked but I need to yarn shop for this one.  It's another easy but looks like time consuming knit. Thankfully, I have a little more time for this one.

Well I've made weekly contact with all the peeps I need to make contact with. Now back to my job as an auror for Defense against the Dark Arts.

Happy Crafting!
