So my pal took a really great picture of the bag I made her for the Hogwarts Sock Kit Swap. And I stole it from her blog and here it is for your OOOing and Ahhing purposes.
This is from the Noni pattern for the Cascading fuchsias market bag from their 2007 Spring Collection. I made 2 flowers but I thought that it was a little too much wth both flowers on the bag so I sent her the second one. :) They are yellow and black to add a touch of Hufflepuff to the bag. I have one of those bags and it makes the perfect size sock project bag. Here is a pic of the whole package. I'm glad she took such a great picture because I totaly forgot to. For more details and her take on the package check out Ursula Longbottom's Blog. Also this morning Ursula Caught the Snitch! Hurray for Ursula! Great job! I know that snitch is tricky and this year Hufflepuff has had some great seekers!

Ok the Surgery on my left foot has gone well and I've been keeping my feet up the last couple days so I've been MIA. I'm hobbling around in 2 neeto boots for at least one more week maybe longer just depends on what my x rays look like next week. This will be the hardest 2 weeks of the whole things because I can't even make those short trips to Starbucks or the library until my right boot comes off. Good news is my right foot looks great and all the swelling has gone down. I'll give a try on those quiditch questions and the hunting but boy oh boy those are some hard questions. I'll have to listen to Order of the Phoenix again!
Ok this was a really hard one and if there was some special code to the translation well I didn't get it I just figured it out based on guesses kind of wheel of fortune style but with an eraser but the answer is!
"I am not weak," said harry in a low voice, fury now pumping through him so that he thought he might attack Snape in a moment. "Then prove it! Master yourself!" Spat Sape.
Looky looky what the lovely Perpetua Phoenixfire sent me all the way from the Slytherin Tower! and what was inside those tantalizing packages? Here is the money shot!
She has been reading my blog she added so many lovely things just for me! A cute knitted headband in Gryffindor colors that made my husband roll his eyes and I love making my husband roll his eyes! I had him take a picture of me wearing it but I decided that I looked too gross so I haven't put it up maybe later after I put on makeup on or something. Organic coffee now how perfect is that, mmmm coffee!! Lipgloss because well I just can't enough of it! A tape measure, my house elf officially broke mine not even 2 weeks ago and while I was taking this picture he tried to steel it! It's covered in fabric and ric rack did you do that yourself Perpetua? Some crazy beautiful and smooshy yarn from Crazy for Dyeing in Gryffindor colors! Really lovely I can't wait. An amazing pattern I've had in my Ravelry queue for a while called La Digitessa and boy oh boy I can't wait I think it will look really lovely with the gryff yarn! Some knitting essentials, a teeny tiny crochet hook for dropped stitches, I imagine I will need that with the la digitessa pattern with all those cables! Yay! A 42 inch Harmony wood size 1.5 circular needle! yay! I love those harmony needles and I didn't have one in that size. My favorite size! I think I'm wearing the coating off my other ones... so sad. And now close ups of my personal favorites knitting BLING! Row counting bracelet and stitch markers in yummy Gryffy colors! I can't express how much I absolutely love row counter bracelets I have one and I've been itching to buy another. I've actually been looking at the ones from Crimson Orchid and that is where she bought mine. It's yummy and I'm already using it! And I love stitch markers and there ones are from Crazy for Dyeing and match the Gryffindor yarn! How cool is that. The cutest part of the package is Lightning my new owl! And the most practical of the entire package is the Chocolate Emergency kit in case o Dementor attacks and for some reason there have been a lot of Dementor attacks lately! There have actually been so many Dementor attacks that I may need to restock my emergency kit soon. ;) One thing that did not make the pictures except in it's wrapped condition was the bag of Muggle Cheetoes she sent me. They are my favorite! But they are also my house elf's favorite and every time I tried to take a picture he was grabbing at them so he was happily munching away on them as I finished up my photography. But he shared with me when I was done. ;) Thank you Perpetua I love everything! Now off the wrestle the house elf into the car for a trip into Hogsmead. Thank you again Perpetua your a really nice Slytherin!
