Congratulations

Yes a big round of applause to Hufflepuff for winning the House Cup.

I'm well impressed with the speed of the snitch hunters as every time I play I miss it for some stupid reason!

This has been a lovely swap and such a lovely group to be in, I'm well proud to be a badger!

So Thank you to everyone, and especially Lavender who helped me out loads when I was in China as well as when I returned back to the UK!


Three Cheers for Huff!

bonus he's staring in "twilight"

It arrived, and a surprise!

Well finally Olie made it to Miranda's house. There was a slight problem of no one being home to receive the parcel so he kept coming back with it until someone was home.
In the end he did make it, and it appears that everything arrived safely. I guess he made a good decision about not leaving it somewhere, so I won't punish him for seeming what looked like ages delivering it!

I hope Miranda likes it, or at least something in there is useful!


I also received a surprise the other day, another owl from Emma Wigworthy! I received a lovely lovely sock book because I'm new to socks (haven't made one yet!) so this book will be getting lots of wear and tear for the foreseeable near future.

I have been reading the book from beginning to end to soak up all the information, and useful tips that I'll be needing. Once I finish one of a pair of fingerless gloves, next stop is socks!

where is the parcel and my spider???

Seriously where is the parcel that I sent to Miranda Moonstone???? I sent it days ago, I knew I should have not let my spider take it. Where on earth did he get to with it???

I'm never listening again to how strong or fast he is. Totally unwarented at this moment in time. I'm hoping it will turn up soon! When he gets back he'll not be allowed any fruit for a month as a punishment!

It's here, it's here!

Yes that is my parcel from Emma Wigworthy! Totally out did herself with this parcel. I'm so chuffed with everything.

Here is a list of all my goodies. Soon there will be pictures to go along with it.

In my lovely parcel is: stitch markers in lovely Hufflepuff colours, a needle gauge with elephants all over it (I love elephants!) made especially for me, beautiful wooden needles with a needle holder, a darning needle holder with darning needles. I also have muggle sweets which I can't wait to try out. And Emma made some homemade pumpkin pickle, can't wait to try that out.

I also have a Hogwarts journal and pencil case, with some funky glitter gel pens. I have some lovely lovely squishy Hufflepuff yarn which was hand dyed for me. I can't wait to try that out. I have a beautiful snitch measuring tape, and a little tin with hair in it! I also have a range of sock patterns designed by Emma herself. Goodness, I'll have to learn how to knit socks now! The patterns are beautiful, and so complicated looking. Dear me, I think I might have to find someone to help me with learning the techniques to do socks.

I have the prettiest hat in all my favourite colours, with elephants all around it! And surprise, it fits! It actually looks good on my head, well done!

It was such a lovely parcel and everything was wrapped in paper that had my name all over it, tied up with nice blue ribbon (I love blue, I love ribbons!)

I want to say a big thank you to Emma for such a lovely parcel! Totally love it!

Almost forgot....

to do my homework for the week. I sat here for a long time this afternoon trying to figure this out...

huh? might be your first thought, as that was what mine was. So I tried this and that, and I think I came up with the right thing. Either that or it is supposed to look like above.

Here is what I managed:

"You know what?" Ron murmured, looking over at the bar with enthusiasm. "We could order anything we liked in here. I bet that bloke would sell us anything, he wouldn't care. I've always wanted to try firewhisky."
