We spent this weekend trying to get our life back in order now that the holidays are over. My husband Rodolphus was working like a house elf yesterday taking all the Christmas decorations down while my son helped by playing with the toys he got. I was busy yesterday in the kitchen making food for the coming week. My husband and I were able to have a lot of quality time to ourselves this weekend and it was quite rare. Grompton had a playdate with a friend from Hogwarts pre-school and Rodolphus and I were able to do some leisurly shopping in Diagon Alley. Too bad I don’t know which house my partner is in yet, I saw a few things that would go nicely in my swap kit. I will have to return to that store if I remember after partner assignments are made. Saturday night I attended a post holiday party given by Rodolphus’ home office. They recently received a contract with the Ministry to help restore the landscapes destroyed by all of the horrible destruction of the Dark lord and his followers. It is good work, and much needed but he is traveling 3 times a week to the ministry which makes for a very long commute. The party was very nice and I always enjoy spending time with his co-workers. They are a very knowledgable group of witches and wizards and I am very interested in the work that they do. They are also eager to hear about my work with potions for the ministry.
This week I hope to get some of my unfinished projects done in order to get ready for my swap assignment. I already know what kind of bag I will make for my partner, I just need to determine house colors. I am planning a felted bag and then needle felt the animal that is the symbol of the house, in the center. This swap is so exciting, and I really look forward to connecting with my fellow Ravenclaws.

Wacha Emma! The sock swap sounds great. After all the holiday excitement Lupin and I got to hang out this weekend too. We didn't get to be free of the little ons but they played nicely and we got lots of reading done.
This weeks excitement consists of finding a new family broomstick. Lupin's is pretty much done for. I got my broomstick back all fit as a fiddle finally after that nasty thestril accident.
You should talk to my crazy sister about your scock swap, she is just putting the finishing touches on her first pair of socks and is talking about making a felted bag.
Your crazy sister should click on the link on the side of my family journal. There are still spots open for the year 4 sock swap. I think the headmistess will accept applications until January 18th. It is not Ravelry only either.
