Weekly HSKS Blog

Wow another week gone by. Where does the time go?  Well we had our first Quidditch match on Saturday and were doing really well but low and behold, the Hufflepuff Seeker, Rowan Dragonsinger, caught the snitch and Hufflepuff won the game.  Good game though and you couldn't ask for anything more.  Well as for our dueling matches, Havelock ended up in the hospital in the muggle world and will most likely have to forfeit and Intarsia put up a good fight but her opponent got the best of her.  But its okay cause we gavea good show and represented Gryffindor with pride.

Well Emma's package is coming along. I ordered something special that came in the mail today and it came out really really nice. Can't wait to send it. I ordered something similar for me too.

Been working on baby hats for our SPEW project and everyone is doing a great job in that area as well.  Well I guess that's it for now. Will post more later and maybe some photos too.

HSKS update!

Well another week has come and gone and have I gotten started on my handknit item for Emma? Nooo, I know what I'm going to make and I have the yarn and pattern all ready to go. Just need to get 'r done.  I have ordered a few custom items that I think she is going to love and can't wait till they arrive.

Well being Head of House is work but so much fun. My Gryffindors are a quiet group of students, hmmm, wonder what shenaningans they are up to.

Well off to get work done in my muggle job!

Weekly Blog

Well with vacation last week, I completely forgot to blog.  What a bad example this Head of House is making.  Will not happen again. Well I posted this weeks homework and hopefully all will finish and some will find it fun.  Need to get started on Emma's projects.  I have all the patterns picked and downloaded, now to shop for the supplies.  Alas, my muggle world is keeping me quite busy.

First day of classes

Well it's finally here, first day of classes at Hogwarts.  I am a third year student this time around and have been recently named Head of House.  I have a lovely prefect, Cassandra Goode, hopefully the two of us can keep our merry band of lion cubs happy and having a good time.

So we begin with assignment number one.  To describe why I picked the characters that I picked.

1-Luna Lovegood, she has such a pure heart.  She sees the good in people and the world as having a glass half full. She is not afraid to be different and does things she loves and enjoys no matter what others think.
2-Remus Lupin, he is a tortured soul with his curse as a werewolf and wants so much to lead a normal life. He is afraid to love (Tonks) for fear that he will hurt her. But they do resolve those issues eventually.  And you can always have fun with a werewolf theme.
3-Sirius Black-my all time favorite, HP character and actor period.  He is misunderstood, falsely imprisoned but always true to Harry and the order in-spite of his family connections and their pure-blood mania.  Besides, who can resist a big fluffy black dog.  Hmm, don't know if I can ever forgive JK for killing him off, but ah well, what doesn't kill Harry makes him stronger.

Well off to class now, don't want to be late for Potions.  Professor Snape is in an unusually foul mood today (ha, as if anyone can notice one from the other).

Back to School!

Well the start of term is finally here. I arrived early to set-up the dorm room and make sure all was in order. I am really anxious to see who will be coming back to school this year.  Cassie and I will have our work cut out for us keeping everyone on track and on assignment as it seems when we all get together we just want to visit and chat and have all kinds of fun.  We are doing character themes this year.  I am thinking our first assignment will  be to post why we picked who we picked and what we like about that character. I will have to start thinking about my choices and post something myself.

Well ::::looks down at watch::: time to set up cookies and start tea.

Back to School

Well it's almost here! Time to head back to Hogwarts. Monday is class sign ups. Hmmmm, I wonder if I'll finally get assigned Defense of the Dark Arts? Can't Wait!

Busy, Busy, Busy

Whew, It's been a busy few weeks. The holidays are just around the corner and my knitting needles have been flying, trying to get things done. We are going to AZ this weekend for Ed's family party, the office party on Wednesday, the Court Christmas Party next Saturday and the following Saturday the girls are coming over for baking and crafting day. It's gonna be busy.

Dragonsinger received her swap package and I am so pleased that she liked everything. I always worry that my spoilee won't like my taste, but so far so good.

We finally go the tree up and I will post photos later. But need to finish wrapping gifts that will be going with us to AZ.
