<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Life in the world of the Muggles seems to be rather interesting lately. I wish I had magic to fix a "broken" car. It's been over 6 weeks since an inattentive Muggle decided to see how much damage he could cause by hitting my vehicle in the rear. I'm not quite sure how Muggles can put up with insurance companies!! A quick flick of a wand is SO much easier!</span>Wisteria Lovegoodhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05393496484660964963noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2687749509956675015.post-37577768739015828372010-10-12T14:14:00.000-05:002010-10-12T14:14:03.889-05:00Week 5 Homework<span style="font-size: large;">I love the homework this week! </span><br />

</div><ul><li>A bag full of books. I always have to have a book with me. I could escape into any storyline and no one would every find me! I can't imagine life without a book to read.</li>
<li>A craft of some sort to keep me amused, be it knitting, cross stitch, scrapbooking or sewing. I love creating things and would want something to keep my hands busy.</li>
<li> A journal. One of the things I enjoy is putting my thoughts down on paper. If I went into hiding, I would want to leave behind the story of my journey.</li>
<li>A camera. I love taking photos to help me enjoy my journeys long after they are over. I would want to keep a pictorial record of my journey though life.</li>
<li>Photos of my family. I would never want to forget the faces of my family members or how they have impacted my life and made me the person I am.</li>

In an effort to introduce myself to all the newbies...and some of those I haven't seen for a while...here it "All About Me"!</span><br />
<br />
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I learned to knit when I was a child but only did it on and off for most of my life. I did a lot of knitting in the early years of my marriage when I was pregnant and living in Tunisia. I knit a lot of baby clothes at that time. For a few years I made sweater vests to wear to work in the winter. Now I have discovered socks and it has re-awakened my interest in knitting. As in most things in life, when I get interested I start to accumululate stash. I am a self-confessed hoarder. My attitude is that I cannot leave this earth until I’ve finished everything I’ve collected!</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I was always fascinated when I watched my mother-in-law take wool from the sheep, wash it, comb it, card it, and use a drop spindle to spin it. I have a blanket she made for my son out of the yarn she prepared. The love that went into that blanket can't be matched! </div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Here are some things that might be helpful to know about me:</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><strong>Yarns:</strong> I love yarns that are muticolored, which is probably why I like sock yarns. I’m not much of a solid color person unless it is a tweed/heather type yarn. I like variety (or is it chaos) in everything! My favorite combinations are “peacock” colors and “autumn” colors…or shades of purples, shades of blues, shades of whatever! I don’t think I have any particular favorite brands, but I enjoy working with Ella Rae, Noro, Fleece Artist, Frog Tree, Berroco, Misty Alpaca. I also love to get my yarns from indie dyers. They usually have such interesting color combinations. I'm also in total love with Malabrigo!</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><strong>Patterns:</strong> I really enjoy felting so I am always on the lookout for felting patterns. I make a whole lot of socks so sock patterns are always good. I love, love, love cables, so anything with cables is fun. I am also starting to get interested in lace so I'm always looking at great lace shawls. </div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><strong>Yarn Weight Preference:</strong> I use mostly fingering, sport, DK and worsted weight yarns.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><strong>Fiber Dislikes:</strong> I don’t like anything scratchy. I can’t stand the feel of mohair. I also don’t like most acrylics unless they are very soft. I also don’t like most novelty yarns.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><strong>Favorite Projects:</strong> I love making socks. I also like making felted bags, sweaters, and scarves, particularly if they involve cables!</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><strong>Things I Like But Don’t Make For Myself:</strong> I love fingerless mitts , but don’t particularly like making them for myself.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><strong>Favorite Gadgets:</strong> I collect stitch markers of all kinds. I have a large decorated box filled with them and I love taking them out and looking at them. Of course, I also love using them! I love handmade project bags, tape measures, needle holders, organizers. I also collect 4” scissors and scissor fobs.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><strong>Other Interests:</strong> Besides knitting, I am an addicted to counted cross stitch. Again, I love working with varigated fibers. I would consider myself an advanced stitcher, as I am not afraid to tackle most any cross stitch chart. I particularly love samplers. I also do hardanger.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I love movies, mainly drama or anything historical or Disney. I’m not necessarily a fan of “stupid” comedy, as I like to call it. I like intelligent comedy, not slapstick, and my favorite comedian is, without a doubt, Eddie Izzard.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I read every day. Besides Harry Potter, I love historical novels, particularly anything taking place during the Tudor or Renaissance ages. Some of my favorite authors are Phillipa Gregory, Diana Gabaldon, Christopher Moore, Gregory MacGuire. I recently discovered the Tuesday Next series by Jasper Fforde which I so love. I also really enjoy Young Adult fiction, like the Gemma Doyle trilogy.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I love history, both reading about it, learning about it, and exploring it. I particularly like women’s history, i.e., how they lived, loved and learned.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I collect anything Disney (particularly the villians or Tinker Bell), witches, Precious Moments, stitch markers and books.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I love Yankee Candles, particularly anything spicy and some of the florals. I love all the little candle holders they have as well. I burn my candles daily.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I am interested in tarot and astrology. I have several tarot decks and, while I’m far from an expert, I love consulting the cards. I believe in spirt guides, guardian angels, and past lives.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I love to travel and would get on a plane every weekend if I could. Currently (besides California) my favorite place to wander and roam is Scotland. It feels so like a comfortable fit to me when I’m there. The next countries I want to discover are Ireland, England and Norway.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I have been involved in family research and genealogy for several years and have made some wonderful discoveries and have met distant relatives. My heritage is 75% Norwegian and 25% Irish.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><strong>Salty vs. Sweet:</strong> I prefer salty over sweet. I am totally addicted to popcorn and could eat it virtually every day. I am not a big fan of chocolate, unless it’s very expensive chocolate. I am much more into hard candies, particularly clove, cinnamon, ginger, peppermint, anything lemon or lime. I don’t like most things orange flavored and am not a particular fan of cherry.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><strong>Favorite Scents:</strong> Lilac, jasmine, clove, cinnamon, coffee</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><strong>Favorite Holidays:</strong> Halloween and all that goes along with it. Christmas follows close behind. I love decorating in and around my house for both holidays.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><strong>Other Things I Love:</strong><br />
Unique and/or Antique Buttons <br />
Pens and Postcards from Your Region <br />
Fat Quarters of Fabric <br />
Hard Candies from Your Region <br />
Scrapbook Supplies</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Old magazines </div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />

I wasn't able to get a full card because there isn't anyone living within 100 miles of me. But I was able to get a Wingo:</span><br />

<br />
<ul><li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I have been on a train. I traveled to and from Edinburgh, Scotland to Linlithgow, Sterling and Glasgow.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I have seen every Harry Potter film in the theatre...added bonus, I've seen them all on opening day!</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I have 2 siblings, a brother and a sister. Additionally, I have 4 step-siblings.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I have several collections...Precious Moments, books, Disney Vinylmations, Dept. 56 North Pole Village, to name a few.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I've been to more castles than I can remember, i.e., Edinburgh Castle, Sterling Castle, Fraser Castle, Linlithgow Castle, etc. I belong to Historic Scotland so I like to go to as many castles as possible.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I own all the Harry Potter movies.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I have been in HSKS since the 3rd term.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">My birth month is July.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I have been on a multi-day camping trip to Yellowstone and to Girl Scout Camp.</span></span></li>

</ul>Wisteria Lovegoodhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05393496484660964963noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2687749509956675015.post-23674680394905100022010-07-13T16:12:00.001-05:002010-07-15T14:54:49.228-05:00Summer Camp<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Wow! It's certainly been a while since I've posted anything to my blog. The last term at Hogwarts kept me pretty darn busy. I am now really ready for a relaxing time at Summer Camp. I love living in a treehouse where the breezes can blow through the branches and the wee birds can sing me to sleep and chirp a gentle good morning. Of course, it's fun to watch the gently waving peacock feathers that surround my hammock.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I am very excited to be spoiling Genevra Dreamy. I didn't get a chance to get to know her at Hogwarts since there were so many students running around the halls. Hopefully we can spend some time around the campfire getting to know each other this time.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">And, to help out my wonderful spoiler, here is some updated info on me!</span></span><br />
<br />
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Yarns:</b> I love yarns that are muticolored, which is probably why I like sock yarns. I’m not much of a solid color person unless it is a tweed/heather type yarn. I like variety in everything! My favorite combinations are “peacock” colors and “autumn” colors…or shades of purples, shades of blues, shades of whatever! I don’t think I have any particular favorite brands, but I enjoy working with Ella Rae, Noro, Fleece Artist, Frog Tree, Berroco, Misty Alpaca. I also love to get my yarns from indie dyers. They usually have such interesting color combinations.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Patterns:</b> I really enjoy felting so I am always on the lookout for felting patterns. I make a whole lot of socks so sock patterns are always good. I love, love, love cables, so anything with cables is fun. I would really like to learn to crochet so I am on the lookout for a good beginning book.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Yarn Weight Preference:</b> I use mostly fingering, sport, DK and worsted weight yarns. I seldom use bulky or lace weight yarns.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Fiber Dislikes:</b> I don’t like anything scratchy. I can’t stand the feel of mohair. I also don’t like most acrylics unless they are very soft. I also don’t like most novelty yarns.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Favorite Projects:</b> I love making socks. I also like making felted bags, sweaters, and scarves.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Things I Like But Don’t Make For Myself:</b> I love fingerless mitts and shawls, but don’t particularly like making them for myself.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Favorite Gadgets:</b> I collect stitch markers of all kinds. I have a large decorated box filled with them and I love taking them out and looking at them. Of course, I also love using them! I love handmade project bags, tape measures, needle holders, organizers. I also collect 4” scissors and scissor fobs.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Other Interests:</b> Besides knitting, I am an addicted to counted cross stitch. Again, I love working with varigated fibers. I would consider myself an advanced stitcher, as I am not afraid to tackle most any cross stitch chart. I particularly love samplers. I also do hardanger.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I love movies, mainly drama or anything historical or Disney. I’m not necessarily a fan of “stupid” comedy, as I like to call it. I like intelligent comedy, not slapstick, and my favorite comedian is, without a doubt, Eddie Izzard.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I read every day. I love historical novels, particularly anything taking place during the Tudor or Renaissance ages. Some of my favorite authors are Phillipa Gregory, Diana Gabaldon, JK Rowling, Christopher Moore, Gregory MacGuire. I recently discovered the Tuesday Next series which I so love. I also really enjoy Young Adult fiction, like the Gemma Doyle trilogy.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I love history, both reading about it, learning about it, and exploring it. I particularly like women’s history, i.e., how they lived, loved and learned.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I collect anything Disney (particularly the villians or Tinker Bell), witches, Precious Moments, stitch markers and books.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I love Yankee Candles, particularly anything spicy and some of the florals. I love all the little candle holders they have as well. I burn my candles daily.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I am interested in tarot and astrology. I have several tarot decks and, while I’m far from an expert, I love consulting the cards. I believe in spirt guides, guardian angels, and past lives.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I love to travel and would get on a plane every weekend if I could. Currently (besides California) my favorite place to wander and roam is Scotland. It feels so like a comfortable fit to me when I’m there. The next countries I want to discover are Ireland, England and Norway.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I have been involved in family research and genealogy for several years and have made some wonderful discoveries and have met distant relatives. My heritage is 75% Norwegian and 25% Irish.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Salty vs. Sweet:</b> I prefer salty over sweet. I am totally addicted to popcorn and could eat it virtually every day. I am not a big fan of chocolate, unless it’s very expensive chocolate. I am much more into hard candies, particularly clove, cinnamon, ginger, peppermint, anything lemon or lime. I also really, really love black current licorice hard candies!!I don’t like most things orange flavored and am not a particular fan of cherry.</span><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Favorite Scents:</b> Lilac, jasmine, clove, cinnamon.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Favorite Holidays:</b> Halloween and all that goes along with it. Christmas follows close behind. I love decorating in and around my house for both holidays.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Other Things I Love:</b><br />
Unique and/or Antique Buttons <br />
Pens and Postcards from Your Region <br />
Fat Quarters of Fabric <br />
Hard Candies from Your Region <br />
Scrapbook Supplies</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>My Measurements (if needed):</b></span> <span style="font-size: small;"><br />
Shoe: 9.5” from heel to toe <br />
Wrist: 7” around <br />
Ankle: 11” around</span></div>Wisteria Lovegoodhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05393496484660964963noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2687749509956675015.post-85978175661782334372009-11-24T14:22:00.002-06:002009-11-24T14:27:45.505-06:00FriendsThis is my 6th go around in this wonderful world of wizards. During each of those terms I have made so many new friends. I was thinking today what my life would be like if I had never discovered HSKS and never got to know so many great people. I am a firm believer that people come into our lives and exit our lives for reasons. I believe that I learn something from each and every person with whom I come in contact. Today I was thinking about how much I miss many of the people who have moved on to other things. They may no longer be part of my life, but I still miss them. <br /><br />I am thankful for all these people and all I have learned from them. I hope that I can stay in touch with as many of these awesome people as possible and that our friendships can continue to grow.Wisteria Lovegoodhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05393496484660964963noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2687749509956675015.post-67571070920123248242009-11-22T08:41:00.003-06:002009-11-22T08:47:46.008-06:00Being ThanksfulIt's very quiet around the Quidditch pitch this morning. The sun is barely above the horizon on its journey of the day. The grass is moist with dew. There is the smell of damp earth and early morning. The birds are singing a soft chorus to welcome the day.<br /><br />These are just a few of the things I'm most thankful for. <br /><br />Inside there is the sound of soft breaking from my sleeping family. Today will be a busy day of family activities, with family coming from near and far. There will be the bustle of activity in the kitchen as our early Thanksgiving dinner cooks. There will be the laughter of family and friends. There will be sporting matches to watch and games to play.<br /><br />These are a few more of the things I am most thankful for.<br /><br />And there are all my Hogwarts and Quidditch friends to greet at the start of a new week...friends, both new and old, whom I treasure and admire and learn much from. <br /><br />I am thankful you each and every one of you. May you all be blessed with love and laughter.Wisteria Lovegoodhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05393496484660964963noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2687749509956675015.post-63106477661870781892009-11-11T22:57:00.002-06:002009-11-11T23:00:13.479-06:00MMMMMmmmmmmmI have found a wonderful new fiber that I love working with. Why have I not tried this fiber before?! I can't say more because I'm using this yummy fiber for my spoilee's kit and I don't want her getting too much information. I'm about half done with the handmade item for her kit. Hopefully I'll be able to get it finished this coming weekend...before I go to the Muggle football game. I'll be wearing my purple and gold proudly!Wisteria Lovegoodhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05393496484660964963noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2687749509956675015.post-52838393185779319252009-11-06T09:02:00.002-06:002009-11-06T09:08:44.900-06:00PHEW!!What a crazy few weeks I've had! I didn't realize just how looney the Full Moon can make people, but I experienced it all this week! I was contacted by people I haven't heard from in ages. I had people showing up that I didn't expect. It never seemed to quit. I would fall into bed at night exhausted.<br /><br />I'm really in the mood to go down to Diagon Alley and checking out all the newest yarn, but I quite honestly don't need ANY more yarn! Aren't 3 bins enough?! I do have some on order for my spoilee's special handmade item. I can't wait to get it!! I did lots and lots of shopping until I found what was JUST PERFECT. With the cooler weather, I enjoy sitting cuddled up in the evening knitting away.Wisteria Lovegoodhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05393496484660964963noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2687749509956675015.post-13622120925511326252009-10-14T13:21:00.004-05:002009-10-14T13:36:41.346-05:00And A New Quidditch Season Begins<span style="font-family:georgia;">I can't believe that summer is over and we are back into the routine of things. Siobhan and I were quite surprised to receive notice that Miss Wartbobble would be taking a sabbatical this term. She wasn't very forthcoming about where she was going or what she would be doing, but she did say we'd hear from her.</span><br /><br />That meant Siobhan and I had a lot of work to do before the Quidditch season began. I have discovered a wonderful Muggle beverage called an energy drink, and have consumed my fair share! <br /><br />All the captains and assistant captains have been busy ordering and distributing team jerseys, handling try outs for positions, and generally working to get our players in shape for the first match. I have been spending some time getting reacquainted with old friends and making new ones. Here are some of the things I have discovered:<br /><br />1. There are quite a few people who enjoy some of the same crafts as me. For instance, Stuart Cauldwell likes to knit, Quietus likes to make costumes, Emma Gorodok enjoys scrapbooking and Bridget the Bloodthirsty likes <em>anything</em> Disney.<br /><br />2. Fleur Sweeting's birthday is in the same month as me...July.<br /><br />3. Maisy Muddlestix is from Australia.<br /><br />4. Celeena Cree is a new Quidditch player. (Welcome Celeena!)<br /><br />5. Antonio delay Weasley has been around for many, many Quidditch seasons...even more than me!<br /><br />6. Rowan Dragonsinger <em>thinks</em> she may have a larger stash of yarn that I do, but I doubt it. <br /><br />7. Agatha Vablatsky both knits and crochets. I feel like such a dummy next to her.<br /><br />8. Lily May Clearwater and I like the same colors, blues, greens and purples. Wonder if she likes peacocks?<br /><br />Oh well...back to practice!Wisteria Lovegoodhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05393496484660964963noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2687749509956675015.post-27952886316173939172009-08-19T20:27:00.002-05:002009-08-19T20:43:50.917-05:00THANK YOU CLARA CLOVENHOOF!!Here is just a wee taste of the super awesome kit I received from Clara Clovenhoof. First of all there is this wonderful wooden box. I SO love boxes and this one is incredible. It will definitely be used to hold my treasures!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIWB-SzNaknm7cifwxQ4fAN6QYTSxTFcVBYLT4KUFK8mGXEu32_ZSIQ1VmSZVhlekgGfGnbiSksrHuS-ynb0upI3QHHPyx1fKFAMqiFUaTWLiXiYMHyObz3-cm1o6HHo_cRRQdv-NytKiE/s1600-h/DSC08355.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371851876473886226" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIWB-SzNaknm7cifwxQ4fAN6QYTSxTFcVBYLT4KUFK8mGXEu32_ZSIQ1VmSZVhlekgGfGnbiSksrHuS-ynb0upI3QHHPyx1fKFAMqiFUaTWLiXiYMHyObz3-cm1o6HHo_cRRQdv-NytKiE/s400/DSC08355.JPG" /></a><br /><br />Inside the box are 5 skeins of Knits Picks Stroll yarn in Sappphire Heather and Duchess Heather to be used to knit Norwegian stockings!! I can't wait to give it a shot!! I have very proud of my Norwegian heritage and these socks will definitely be lovingly knit with all my ancestors in mind. Clara knit me the cutest little witch and an adorable little owl...both wearing Ravenclaw scarves! My little owl will be looking over my shoulder whenever I knit or cross stitch. Halloween is my favorite holiday so the witch will have a place of honor! I also received two coffe mug cozies (since we all know I'm addicted to caffeine!), a wire and charm bookmark, a knit Ravenclaw bookmark, peacock charms, and an awesome see bead necklace. Clara also gave me two other sock patterns, a graph notebook for designing my own patterns, and the book Folk Socks by Nancy Bush. I love the book!! There is so much history in it, which I love.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg47gPnkuPrAGNQL4ntqOrsLLGOPaXIpv96JWcfFmX9j97p0gOoMAWo9spgJ_rHqOJufTMP5Q8n6wxoHCmHDZfTO5fb0-dA1LUOwNYQGkcP4athrHnlCSNXBmAgyZvonQoWn_wWJHK734Pl/s1600-h/DSC08348.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371851889550053474" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg47gPnkuPrAGNQL4ntqOrsLLGOPaXIpv96JWcfFmX9j97p0gOoMAWo9spgJ_rHqOJufTMP5Q8n6wxoHCmHDZfTO5fb0-dA1LUOwNYQGkcP4athrHnlCSNXBmAgyZvonQoWn_wWJHK734Pl/s400/DSC08348.JPG" /></a><br /><br />Finally, Clara gave me some beautiful peacock stitchmarkers and an absolutely gorgeous peacock pendnt necklace!!

It's been very draining trying to avoid my awful cousin Thistle. I am always looking over my shoulder, and checking in my cot before climbing in, and worrying about everything I eat or drink.

We decided we were running low on supplies for Summer Camp and Hogwarts. It's never too late to plan for the next term! We stacked up on quills and parchment..along with some polyjuice potion, dragon's eggs, and crystalized pineapple. Whimsic Alley isn't quite as well stocked as the shops in Diagon Alley; it's kind of the 7-11 of wizarding shops!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZRAPbDwv639UsoeRR9zdoR8nlhcZR1Ddj3INseDAOc0VFB9a7QD1gKtJi4DdxvbxvnWaLvXrdUIYbZREGNiRF1v93W4BFp0GZtOBS0J4xjXjo4XrDhGeuyrg0euLUjQ9mnu560_5fdB-B/s1600-h/DSC00135.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364846658633432818" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZRAPbDwv639UsoeRR9zdoR8nlhcZR1Ddj3INseDAOc0VFB9a7QD1gKtJi4DdxvbxvnWaLvXrdUIYbZREGNiRF1v93W4BFp0GZtOBS0J4xjXjo4XrDhGeuyrg0euLUjQ9mnu560_5fdB-B/s400/DSC00135.JPG" /></a><br />We shopped so long that we just HAD to stop off for some food and beverage.

I had never expected to see him again after he so mysteriously disappeared from Hogwarts. I had prepared the cabin for the new DADA counselor thinking I would be greeting and initiating someone totally new to HSKS. <br /><br />I spent last weekend in deep discussions with Lucius, working through the reasons for his departure and I think we've come to a place of peace. He was very upset that his reputation had been besmirched and that his reputation in the wizarding community had suffered. Years of study have taught Counselor Whitmarsh more ways to bend an enemy to his desires than any Slytherin could dream off. He had intended to come back and make life miserable for those he blamed for his fall from grace. He had spent many months plotting to take back all that was rightfully his. His plan was that the puppet would become the puppet master! However, when our eyes met once again, all was forgotten.

Belonging to the house of <strong>GRYFFINDOR</strong>, they attend Defense Against the <strong>DARK A</strong>RTs taught by Wizarding celebrity <strong>GILDEROY LOCKHART</strong>, a none-too-bright fellow who cannot even handle pixies!<br /><br />In The <strong>CHAMBER OF SECRETS</strong>, we also meet Dobby a <strong>HOUSE ELF</strong> for the first time. Determined Dobby seeks to sabotage the return of <strong>HARRY POTTER</strong> to Hogwarts and is pretty persistent but is unsuccessful. After a few weeks at school, the deceased Ravenclaw student who haunts the girls lavatory, also known as <strong>MOANING MYRTLE</strong>, shows <strong>HARRY POTTER</strong> and <strong>RON WEASLEY</strong> an old empty diary that dropped through her ghostly form out of thin air!<br /><br />Many nifty things continue to happen for the next several months… we won’t go into all the juicy details right now… however, the ending is prime reading indeed!! <strong>HARRY POTTER</strong> finally kills Tom Riddle’s (a.k.a. <strong>VOLDEMORT</strong>) sneaky diary (which we now know is a <strong>HORCRUX</strong>) and saves the sister of <strong>RON WEASLEY</strong>, <strong>GINNY WEASLEY</strong>!!!<br /><br />Oh! Of course, we must mention that the thickheaded <strong>GILDEROY LOCKHART</strong> unintentionally erased his own memory, so he won’t be back for book three, The <strong>PRISONER OF AZKABAN...</strong>Wisteria Lovegoodhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05393496484660964963noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2687749509956675015.post-45166249771425120372009-06-23T07:40:00.003-05:002009-06-23T07:46:32.548-05:00THISTLE!!!!I decide to go out for a few minutes to vist some other cabins and look what I returned to!!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWwIW_mbQVklenLfwmoZgPE3wiWCgzPTMZW-rmEBgdp5awvY22rLpJtB72OF2sHzryy0zeUUaVfp2QodH3bFQzAqCKTM4Vqhw4B2A949TNjc1Av14k5w5051g3VbeWfgHaC5WDhnNxJoea/s1600-h/DSC00032.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWwIW_mbQVklenLfwmoZgPE3wiWCgzPTMZW-rmEBgdp5awvY22rLpJtB72OF2sHzryy0zeUUaVfp2QodH3bFQzAqCKTM4Vqhw4B2A949TNjc1Av14k5w5051g3VbeWfgHaC5WDhnNxJoea/s400/DSC00032.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350502139004236210" /></a><br /><br />Some pixies were trying to make a nest under my bed using the new yarn Mummy gave me before I left for cabin. Oh...that Thistle! I know it was her. I'm dispatching an owl to Mummy and Daddy immediately. I think I will finally get up the nerve to go talk with our "new" DADA counselor.
