Owl's Away!

I've sent my owl, Serenity, off to Buffalo, New York to greet Laeita with a rather large package. I do hope she has a safe trip as I know the weather has been a little off in the middle of the states. Not to mention the package I sent her off with was rather heavy. Over 7 pounds! I hope Laeita likes the goodies I've enclosed in her package.

Now if I can just find out the status of my dueling club package...Lucretia was quite the opponent but I'm hoping I'm not dead yet.

Happy 4th of July Weekend!

In American muggle land, yesterday was the 4th of July. Unfortunately it was so foggy in San Francisco that I was unable to see any fireworks. I had to watch them on muggle television. Oh well such is life.

I've spent this weekend putting the finishing touches on my spoilee's package. I will be shipping it out on Monday. I hope she likes it!

Anywhoo, I must run to the owlery so I can get my dueling socks sent off. Each round of dueling club just keeps getting tougher and tougher.

Sneak Peek

So this week I worked on finishing up the handmade item for my spoilee's kit. It still needs some more finishing touches, but I'm happy with the result. It came out exactly as I envisioned. After I get it all finished up and shipped off I'm going to work on writing the pattern out.

I thought I'd offer a little sneak peek of the project to my spoilee. Are you ready Laeita? Here you go!

A Busy Week

While I was in the infirmary with Madam Pomfrey recovering from my illness, I took some time to catch up on some reading about vampires and werewolves. It was extremely interesting reading and I look forward to reading more at a later date. I also had time to work on the socks started from the yarn I received in my last swap kit from Ferula Vector. They're almost done, just need to finish up the leg on the second sock. I'll be sure to post pictures once they're complete. I've also been working on the journal for my spoilee this term. Its progressing nicely and I might post a teaser picture up a little later. I sure hope she likes it. I put in the order for the rest of her goodies this morning so hopefully they should be here soon. I'm really enjoying putting her kit together and I hope she likes it a lot.

I also won the first round of the sock duel. Now onto the second round!

Sick This Week

Short post this week...I've been spending some time in the infirmary this week with Madam Pomfrey. I even missed out on the trip to Hogsmeade :-(

However, I did find out that I won the first round of dueling club. Now onto the next round!
