my kit came!

I recieved my kit today from Emma Scrimgeour. She made me a very nice cowl with a cute pin on it. There is some nice purple self striping sock yarn, a pattern for ankle socks, stitch markers and a whole lot of great smelling coffee. Thanks Emma!

final project coming together nicely

I have been getting together all the last little pieces of my kit together. The yarn I ordered is really nice, I may have to order some for myself after the holidays are over. I am working on the handmade object and I am really happy with the color choices I made. I should have that wrapped up this weekend then I can just focus on wrapping everything up and getting some treats crammed into the box as well.

evil is in the air

Things are starting to look very creepy around the neighborhood as everyone gets ready for halloween. I am doing one more trip into diagon alley for goodies for my spoiler then I should be all set.

halfway there

I can't believe this term is already half over. Although I am really enjoying the theme of this swap and the way the swap is working out, I do miss quidditch. I doubt I would have time for it even if we were playing this term. I have been continuing to work late nights/early mornings at the ministry. I think I have finally decided on an alternate handmade item for Cassie's kit. I am still not sure about it,but time is a wasting, I am going to try and get over to my fav yarn shop in diagon alley this weekend so I can get started.
I got a. New owl that comes with me to the ministry which I hope will help me communicate for the rest of this term.

Home WORK!!!!

wow this week is hard! I think they shouldn't let the Ravenclaws assign the homework anymore! I haven't read this book as much as the others mostly because it is too dang sad. I am going to have to use my Slytherin skills to get the answers for some of these (i.e. cheat off someone else)

be very very quiet...I am hunting for horcruxes..

I love the theme of this term at hogwarts. We are sending horcrux kits! I have so many fun ideas, and some rather creepy ones! I need to get some measurements from Cassandra and start working on the handmade item. It is very ambitious and I hope I can get it to turn out right. I am rather nervous after my last homemade item disaster (which I still have to finish the replacement for). So much to do, I think I need to see if I can get a time turner.
