last clue

Okay, last clue is up. Is it just me or does anyone else not get it? I'm totally hopeless at these things. I can't even begin to figure out what it is.

Sometimes I think outside the box because it is obvious. Most time I like thinking in the box because that makes the most sense. So games like this are beyond me.

Good luck to those that can figure these things out. This is why I don't do the cross word puzzles!

Karma and then some

Okay so exams are over (yipeeeeeeeee!), and my brain is still somewhat intact. Well that is a matter of debate for another time.

So finally I can send out my parcel. But of course there is always an issue with me, usually it is can't find the address. Now I'm waiting on the last bit of the kit to arrive cause well it's that time of year and well the owls are really busy. So I'm hoping it arrives tomorrow so I can send this baby off on Monday.

I feel so slow, but hopefully I can fix it by shoving in extra things to make up for the fact I've been really busy this time around. I feel awful you know! And to make matters worse what was supposed to be the item, had to be put aside cause I mistake and I didn't have enough time to fix it, so made something else instead. How is that for karma??

Anyways, fingers crossed for the last bit of stuff to arrive tomorrow!

Ahhhhhh! Exams, exams are going to make my brain explode.

Cry with me people, it hurts, but I can't wait for it to be over!!!!

I wishing all my Hogwarts friends a nice week without headaches and sore hand from writing cramps!

This week in crazy land

yup, one week left of uni to go folks! And of course everything is due at the end of it all. Then the following week we have exams. Hello, has anyone heard of a week off before starting exams???? I guess I will let them go as this is the first time they are doing semesters, and they waste a week at the beginning of it spoutting on about stuff that isn't really necessary to take a week doing.

So yes it is all crazy in my life at the moment, and hardly any time to do anything other than uni work, work and possibly some sleep in there as well.

So I have decided with my partner package to do things a little different as there is no point in doing something that there is no point in doing! So off I go to do some more thinking!

What am I thankful for?

Good question, I'm going to go for simple!

I'm thankful for the fact that the Uni week is over, that today at work is over, and that I'm sitting here with a tin of Irn Bru and going to watch some mindless tv for once.

So yeah, simple it is people!

Can we start again?

I've been having a really really really horrible week! Things with uni are going okay, things in the other parts of my life, not so much.

Do you ever get to the point where you've had enough crap that it seriously is making you tired just thinking about stuff?? I'm at that point, I can't be bothered with what is going on at the moment, so I've decided to do the smart thing and step away from the burning flames.

So while I have put what is going on on the side burner for someone else to deal with (I'm lucky, as in this position I can give it to someone else to look after for a while)I get to concentrate on uni! How exciting!

I received my thesis topic today and I was given what I had asked for, so that is super good! I'm well chuffed and if I wasn't having issues, I'd be ecstatic, but at this moment I'm just doing a little dance in my head because even with the good news my mood still hasn't shifted.

So I have been doing some research into what I want to put in my parcel, and that is all worked out. I'm still debating on what to actually make though. I'll come up with something!

And where is winnie this week? somewhere in a time zone that probably isn't mine!

Brain of the dead

I have come to the conclusion I have no brains whatsoever for the where abouts of winnie. I'm hopeless! So yeah, mmmmm where is she this week? No idea! Thinking outside the box I don't do well. Sometimes I barely can figure out what is inside the box!

But on a slightly better note, things should start settling down in my life now that I have things sorted on the extra curricular activities front. So hopefully I can now just sit back and do uni work and knit. I haven't started anything, and I can't think of anything decent to make my swapner. How ridiculous!

Must start thinking about this stuff!

Stupid muggle internet

My muggle internet was down yesterday night so this is going to be late! Stupid muggle internet!

I believe Winnie is where she is supposed to be. Now she is somewhere that requires her to do lots of work, so that is either home with her family, or with work work! But that doesn't necessarily mean that even if she is at home or at work, she is completely there. Her mind might be somewhere else which is always a problem when you're thinking of what needs to be done for something.

So where is Winnie? I'm not sure, it depends on if you mean where her body is, or where her mind is, or where the two of them together are.

All I can say is, she is somewhere!

Where in the world is Winnie?

Hmmm......exactly where she should be at this precise moment in time!


I'll tell you the rest of what I think when I get back from doing homework!

Quidditch task one

1. Someone with the same craft as you Miss Lucy does knitting and bead work just like myself
2. Someone who was born in the same month. Girlywithatwist is born in March, that is the closest I can find to February. I am the only one???
3. Someone from a different country. Ronnica
4. A new HSKS Quidditch player. switchcleo
5. A player who has been in 3 or more HSKS swaps. Wychwoodlady!
6. A player who has a bigger stash than you! (And if your stash is the biggest, proudly say so!) Yarnguy
7. A player who both knits and crochets. SparkelsandDazzles
8. Someone who has the same favorite color as you. kauraqt loves purple too!


QUidditch is certainly full of people! I went to find someone that has the same birth month as me, didn't happen! I think I am the only one. I found that Pandora has Cornish Pixies, which are totally cute! I want to take it out to play with, but Ollie wouldn't let me!

I have learned a lot about a lot of people, so much so I can't remember a thing! I'm sure it will come back to me when I get a rest from Ollie asking where the snakes are. So I did have fun which is the main thing!

It's here!!

My parcel that is. It arrived last week, but I thought it was something else so I was in no real hurry to the collection office. Then I had to cart it all around uni till I got home 6 hrs later. Then I opened it, fell over, camera died, and computer had no memory etc so we're finally in business!!

I have such a lovely parcel!!!! I'm very stoked as I have some really really lovely yarn in deep forest to go with the devil's snake sock pattern, I also received The best of interweave knits (yipee!!!), I have some lovely knitting needles for socks that I really don't want to use cause they are so nice, lovely chocolates and sweets (mind I'm scared of the jelly beans!), a lovely bag, some harry potter themed things (note pad, bookmark, key ring), stitch markers, dpn toppers, pens!! Did I mention pens! Now when you see the pic you'll wonder why on earth I have las vegas tat! I have pens from casinos/hotels for sure, some could be restaurants though! I love my vegas tat cause that is what I really wanted! So loves me my pens! Oh and I have a lovely bag to put it all in. Oh totally forgot about my little sock change purse which I love to pieces!

So I want to thank my lovely swapner Ophelia for such a lovely parcel, I just don't know where to begin with it all!

what a night

I was invited to a party and while I'm not really one for parties( I'm shy, don't like hanging out with strangers, don't like noise etc ) I had a super good time. The only down side was I only had 4 hrs of sleep so now I'm tired beyond belief and I have to pack my bags!

I can't believe summer camp is almost done! I can't believe I didn't really want to come in the first place, what was I thinking?

So I had a wonderful time and I can't wait to get home to tell my parents all about it. I feel sorry for Ollie as he's really going to miss the snakes!

Yikes!

This week has been really crazy! I was fast forwarded at the beginning of the week, and now I'm fast rewound! I seriously don't have any idea what day it is, I thought today was Saturday.

Yikes, this is late!

On a good note the owl arrived with Clara's gift, safe and sound. Wheeew!!

Now I have to dash to work before I forget to do that!

bye bye.....

yes the parcel went out yesterday with an international owl. I hope it gets there safely and in one piece.

You know when you send things to someone else and you worry that it is enough. I'm having this moment now, which is way too late to do anything about. And as usual I forgot to include a note, good predictable me!

Oh well, it's not as if Clara won't know it's from me anyways, but still!

Right now I have to go see what Ollie is up to with the snakes cause they are just being wayyyy to quiet not to be up to something!

Guess what people!!!! I finally for the life of me finished Clara's present. Finally after how long? Mind I have to say that I am sort of missing getting frustrated at the stupid thing. I might have to cast on at sme point for myself now that I have it figured out and that I will stop being trired when I am knitting it.

So things on my parcel are coming along nicely. I'm thinking I might be able to get this out on MOnday or Tuesday dependig.

Other than that I cut my finger while thinking about a boy. How stupid was that? Someday I might have to do something about this! I wonder if Madame Pomfrey as anything for it? Maybe I can be like a muggle and put on a plaster. How cool would I be if I put one on?! That right peeps super cool to all the wizards and witches, mind the muggles wouldn't think anything about it cause I'm sure they have had a plaster before as well.

So lesson today is don't think about boys you like while cutting an avocado. Not sure what happens if you were cutting an apple or something, but definitely no avocados!

Summer camp game 6

So we have to figure out what is carried around in the headmistress' bag potion wise.

So potion one is: draught of peace

potion two is: mandrake draught

potion three: babbling beverage

Potion four: Murtlap Essenence

What a random assortment the headmistress carries around!

I have spent the week learning about something that is called first aid and CPR in the muggle world. It was very fascinating as they don't use magic to fix broken arms or illness.

Muggles spend time pretending to be ill or something is broken and another muggle comes along and helps them out by putting a bandage or a sling, or do other things to them. If the muggle isn't breathing then CPR, if the muggle is breating but not conscious then recovery positing.

I tell you, muggles are very strange and sometimes primitive!

I've been really busy with my friends birthday party. I haven't even had time to write or take some pics for the summer camp game.

I'll have to get onto these things right away! I must say though I have been working on Clara's gift and it is almost finished. Just the last push and off everything can go!

Summer camp game 5

After a few days of thinking cause well my brain need some rest after working here are my answers

1. Animagus

2. Daily Prophet

3. Bowtruckle

4. Extendable Ear

5. Radish Earrings

6. Forbidden Forest

7. Golden Cherub

8. Thestral

9. High Inquisitor

10. Educational Decree

Tink, tink, tink

is actually the sound of rain this time, not me tinking my project for Clara.

It's been really nice to be able to sit here and listen to the rain against the cabin windows. Ollie and the snakes are hanging out outside in the puddles. Ollie has managed to convince them to act like a jet ski while he rides on their back. How does he get away with these things?

I'm working on Clara's gift, and I have about 20 rows left. Which doesn't seem like a lot and it isn't considering I had to tink and frog it a few times. So I have learned not to work on it while I am tired (should have known better in the first place anyways!)

So since most of the item is finished I've been looking at the rest of the parcel. I have the pattern chosen, the yarn, and a few other bits and bobs. I'll have to do some more thinking for the rest of the things.

Poor Clara must think I'm a right random wizette for asking about 20 questions that were relatively random. But she did answer them in good form and humour so something nice might come of them!

Right off I go to tell the snakes and Ollie to come in for some hot treats!
