Shuntbumps

Oh, this is going to be fun... I'm participating in the crochet league of Shuntbumps and in the first round I'm up against Clara Clovenhove, my team captain. The pattern will be released in a few minutes, then I'll weild my crocet hook to hopefully push her off her broom - because captain or not, I want to win this duel

Quidditch

Wohooo... I made it into the Quidditch Team, I'm now flying for the Wigtown Wanderers. This will be so much fun, can't wait for the Quidditch season to start

Package received and sent

A few days ago, I received a really nice kit from Helga Ze Horrid, when I opened it, I found this big bag filled with goodies:

In the kit were tons of great things:

• a kit to crochet a cute dragon (pattern, 2 colors of cotton yarn, crochet hook)
• candy and chocolate
• handknit ornaments
• a Ravenclaw bookscarf
• a small project bag with a dragon
• a basilisk tooth to wear as a pendant
• stickers
• tattoos
• a garden gnome to water my plants
• colored felt
• a small bag with stickers, tattoos, candy and a toy for my son

He loved his gifts as much as I loved mine, he immediately wanted one of the tattoos and held it proudly into the camera for you all to see:


Thanks, Helga, that really was a great kit and it was nice to get to know you a bit through this swap. And sorry that it took me so long to post about this, but my computer was not behaving at all

still waiting

I know, I said last week that my package was on it's way, but I read just before I wanted to send my owl that Lavender moved. And as I don't want her kit to get lost, it is waiting here for her to confirm her address. I'm not sure whether I have her old address or the new one.

Owl on it's way

I know, I have been terribly quiet this term, but I have packed the kit for Lavender and send an owl to her today. Hopefully it will arrive soon.

I wanted to add so many more things, but somehow I always went over the budget with them so I had to limit myself. But I'm sure she will like it as I picked up some hints she dropped on her blog. Now back to my busy life and my son - when kindergarten has vacation, he keeps me really busy

time is fleeting...

Wow, yet another week is gone, and I really don't know how that happened... My son kept me rather busy this week as the weather was great and we spent lots of time on the playground or in the park.

But I've made some progress on the kit for Lavender, just need to put the finishing touches to a few things and then I'm ready to ship, hopefully I'll manage to get it done by next week.

And of course I've done some knitting and crochet, but didn't make as much progress there as I intended to.

Now I'm off again, to a baptism and a birthday party, so I'll have to hurry and get dressed.

Summer Camp Game #3

When I encounter a boggart, I always see a big, scary spider... I really hate those 8-legged beasts and they scare the hell out of me. But then I imagine the spider surrounded by baby toys and stuffed animals. and it has a big pacifier and a teddy bear on top. That looks so stupid, I can't help but laugh about it - and gone is the boggart.
