Off to a great start and my wants ramblings

That is to say I'm in Hufflepuff again this semester. I'm loving being in this house as everyone is wonderful!

We've been told to put up a wish list which I think is great to help along our spoiler. I hope my spoilee puts one up, makes it easier in one way to get some other info.

For my wish list I've put up the things I would really like in the order of how much I want them! Makes it easier for someone to decide just what they want to spend on me.

As you can see my wish list compiles three things, I'm not greedy! For yarn and needles, I'm not really bothered with brand names or a certain sort. I'm quite happy with normal wool rather than say alpaca! I do prefer to have smaller needle sizes as I like when my knitting looks "tight." Circular or DPNs doesn't matter either, but I'm more prone to use DPNs than circulars as I go faster on them for some reason. I would like to have some pins, i think as I do lots of blocking and have none of my own. I keep borrowing my flatmates, she doesn't mind, but I do!

Random things that I love/like lots: chocolate, hot chocolate, tea, hard sweets, candles, oils for burning, oil burners, blue, purple, green colours, I'm a photographer, as well as an archer (I just bought a new bow! totally psyched!), I like biscuits, and homemade foodie items. I love recipe books, or simply some recipe cards with your favourite recipes printed on them. Scents I love lemons, anything sweet, vanilla. I love brazil nuts, pistachios, hazelnuts! I have an obsession with pens, if you're pen has gone missing I probably lifted it. I like silver, and have a huge thing for semi precious stones (I have a collection)particularly amethyst. I like runes and tarot. I have a tendency that if something I receive is super nice, I don't want to use it. I must get over this! I love my handmade cotton dishcloths I received last swap! Which reminds me I have a thing for elephants and cows. I'm naturally light blonde (but I'm not usually that dumb!) so colours that go with that suit me best. I can go either light shades or dark shades both look decent on me.

Things I don't like: white chocolate, oranges (colour, fruit, smell), walnuts, floral or patchouli smells. I don't like brown, orange, yellow colours (if you think autumn, I don't like it). Don't like yellow gold, and I don't like spicy things. I don't like cats or guinea pigs or hamsters.

I'll add to this if I think of more things about me, I'm pretty easy to shop for I think as I appreciate everything! I hope you have a fun time shopping for me, and don't wrack your brain too much!

it arrived on Friday




but I didn't open it until now! Yes I have received my parcel!!! Yipeee!!! And yes I am very patient person to allow the parcel to sit here for two days untouched.

So I opened it and out popped a wonderful looking pattern for socks. Dear me, I have to seriously start making socks. I've only done one pair before, now I have such a beautiful pattern to go with my other patterns from last swap that I think I'm being told something!

So inside my box was lots of black and yellow parcels, with surprises inside each and every one of them.

So I tore open them all, cause well after being good and not opening the parcel I had free range to search and destroy all forms of coverings!

Inside I found a big chocolate bar (no one can resist chocolate!), two beautiful skeins of yarn, one hufflepuff colour and one amazing blue colour (which goes with lots of things I have!), some stitch markers that look very ethnic! a clover knitting counter (I adores this!), brittany knitting needles which are fabulous and I can't wait to use them! Addi lace needles!!! OMG everyone seriously covets these now I can try to find out why that is so. They look awesome and obviously someone was stalking me! Thank yooooouuuuuu!! And best of all two handmade cloths with elephants on them, again stalking must have been done! Plus the most crazy looking pig soap, crazy in the sense that the pig is smiling his head off before he starts to get smaller after using him. I'm thinking he needs to see someone about this fact! And to top it all off a packet of soothers because well I'm always in need of those babies between my asthma, and the weather there is always some difficult breathing to do! Oh I almost forgot, a handmade journal!! Have to have somewhere to keep my crazy knitting thoughts in!

So I love my parcel and thank you my dear dear swapper Anna Meriweather!!

House Quiz

1. If this was your first HSKS, have you enjoyed yourself. If you are alumni, was this term better than other terms (if so how)? I think this was about the same, my time in hogwarts this year is a less than last term. My excuse for that is that I'm working, uni, training, and choir. I'm pretty much never in my dormitory

2. Will you be returning for HSKS7? More than likely

3. What is your favorite part of HSKS? Putting the parcel together

4. If you had the chance to switch houses next term would you? What house would you be in? Probably only for the fact that I have already two terms of Hufflepuff stuff! Having a variety would be interesting. I was actually supposed to go into Ravenclaw to begin with, so that is where I would go

5. Are there any problems that you need to talk to the Head Girl or Prefects about? Nope, or at least I don't think so

6. Has your Spoiler been in contact with you about your package? I haven't checked my blog, or email today so I don't know

7. Have you been in contact with your Spoilee to let them know you are still with us? ;) Yup!

parcel is on its way

Yes the parcel is gone finally after losing the address! Phew! It would have went out yesterday but somehow the address just walked away on its own accord.

So hopefully it should arrive safely and in a timely fashion!

Now I just have to wait axiously

Wednesday, 5 November 2008

Goodness, it's almost time to send out my parcel. I pretty much have everything I would like, but I want to add a few more things before it goes out in the post tomorrow.

So after potions lesson, I will be returning my books to the library before I have to pay 15 sickles because they are late. I then will be heading down to purchase my last tid bits to go into the kit for Enna Kirts.

So it will be going out tomorrow via the late owl post!

I had a wonderful time doing this up, I just hope everything works out the way I would like!
