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.

The truth...

Last week I was posting 3 truths and a lie and now it's time to reveal the truth...

1. I've never read a single Harry Potter book: true - but I listened to the audiobooks of them all
2. I've already visited Africa, but otherwise stayed in Europe: true - I've been to Morocco as a toddler, so I've been in Africa. And that's the only trip so far that brought me out of Europe
3. I'm fluent in 3 languages, including my native language German: lie - I'm only fluent in English and German, due to lack of practice I forgot almost all of my French and Spanish. Just have passive knowledge there
4. I have never eaten shellfish: true - and I never will, as I'm allergic to fish and all kinds of seafood. The allergy was detected when I was little and eating fish fingers for the first time, so they are the only fish I've ever eaten.

The only one who guessed this right was Gryphon, congrats.

Week 1 games - part three

Finally I got around to posting the last part of this....

I have look through my spoilers and spoilees projects on Ravelry and had a hard time to decide about a favorite one, as they have made a lot of great things.

Helga Ze Horrid is my spoiler and I just had to favorite her Smily-longies, now I just need to find a little one who could wear them, as my son is already too old. But friends of us had their third child lately, so I might have an opportunity to get them done.

And my spoilee Lavender Ollivander has made some really beautiful crochet items. After looking at them for a while, I decided that her Spidey-Ghan is my favorite, as my son loves Spiderman. I had shown this pattern to him and asked if he wanted it, but he decided that it would be 'cooler' if I made it in black and white. Kids can be crazy sometimes.
