Well, I have about a million projects that have been long neglected. A certain baby blanket that is the never-to-be-finished-because-i-keep-refusing-to-work-on-it phase is a must! A pair of gloves started last winter for my sister must be finished before this winter is over! And a few other projects that I've had planned must be not only started but completed.</div><div>Oooooh & I've finally learned to make...x.... Remembered I can't say because I would spoil some of Gryphon's surprise. But once he gets his kit I will post pictures of this new skill I'm working on. So needless to say, I'd like to do a lot more of___x___.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>sylvohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10252275562258150956noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229584898646215258.post-34847121690405406832010-11-13T21:46:00.000-08:002010-11-13T22:00:34.903-08:00Week 9 quizTo which prison was Gellert Grindelwald sent after he was defeated by Dumbledore in 1945?

I'm so <span style="font-weight:bold;">excited</span>! I've already bought my tickets for the first matinee on Nov 19th. I can't handle going to the movie at midnight; I might fall asleep (I blame it on the fact that I have a 30th birthday coming up).
<br />And I'd rather go on Nov 19th because that is my 1 year heartiversary!!! AKA 1 year since I had open heart surgery to repair a congenital heart defect. So I've taken that day off from work. The DH & I will have a nice breakfast, then go to the movie, and later that evening we'll go out for dinner at my favorite sushi restaurant (<a href="http://www.musashinosushi.com/">Musashino</a>). We're both vegetarian so we won't have any of the fishy sushi, but the vegetable tempura is so amazing!! And they have these really yummy salads with a tomato & ginger dressing that I could eat just on it's own - an entire bowl, like it's gazpacho. Their veggie friendly rolls are incredibly delicious. Of course some tempura fried ice cream w/espresso beans will be in order too. Soooo I might have to fast for a few days before we go so that I can eat everything!
<br />I can't wait!!!
<br />It's the perfect way to celebrate!

It would also be helpful to be able to download travel guides on the spot while on the run. (I actually don't have a Kindle but would most certainly get one before going into hiding, running away, or being stranded on a deserted island. It may be on my Xmas list for this year.)<br />2) An iPod filled with my favorite music & the Harry Potter audiobooks read by Jim Dale (for inspiration on ways to escape from the Death Eaters). It would also have to have some movies, maybe Rear Window & some Thin Man movies. Or TV shows, my current pick would be Dexter. And of course photos of the people I'm leaving behind while on the run.<br />3) Knitting needles & yarn of course!<br />4) A Nintendo DS with a Pokemon game & a Final Fantasy game. Those games take so freaking long to play that you could keep playing them one after the other for quite a while & not get tired of them.<br />5) My husband & my dog....I know that's really two "things", but I couldn't be forced to pick between them & I wouldn't want to give up my yarn or my electronics! I could however be persuaded to leave our betta - George the IV - behind (don't let the roman numeral fool you, we don't intentionally kill fish they just don't live much more than a year or two for us.)sylvohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10252275562258150956noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229584898646215258.post-46824945065636940612010-09-16T17:04:00.000-07:002010-09-16T18:14:04.020-07:00First Assignment for HSKS 12A little bit about me to help everyone else with their homework.<br />1. I knit. I've tried to crochet a few times & maybe with a few more attempts I might catch on.<br />2. Birthday December<br />3. I'm in the USA<br />4. I'm not new, I think this is my 4th HSKS swap.<br />5. This is my 4th HSKS swap.<br />6. I have 44 stashed on ravelry - in reality there is way more than that but I try not to count.<br />7. I don't crochet. I only knit.<br />8. My favorite color is Blue, but I also love Grays, Ivory, some greens.<br />9. I really like Christmas. I think because I love all of the lights & bundling up in warm clothes, drinking hot cocoa & having a fire in the fireplace (which I can finally do in my new house!!).<br />10. I love any wool, alpaca is fabulous. I'm not too hot on acrylics or anything itchy.<br /><br />What I've found out about everyone so far:<br />1.

Morgianna Defeufaucon, rav id: staroftwilight - Welcome Morgianna!!<br />5. Someone who has been in 3 or more HSKS swaps. Wisteria Lovegood, rav id: Neila - she's been in more than me, so that's more than 3!<br />6. Someone who has a bigger stash than you! (And if your stash is the biggest, proudly say so!) Bella Shacklebolt, rav id: Smartchick - 110 stashed<br />7. Someone who both knits and crochets. Intarsia Bindoff, rav id: Mutz - my sister!<br />8. Someone who has the same favorite color as you. Genevra Dreamy, rav id: suenosdejmi - blue<br />9. Someone who has the same favorite season/holiday as you. Hermione Bagnold, rav id: smileynetta - Christmas<br />10.

But at the rate that everything is going I'm not sure I'll be finished anytime soon.<br />I'm contemplating just donating boxes without even looking inside them. If I've lived without it for a week, then maybe I can live without it for good :)<br />I did treat myself to some pretty yarn today though. I had promised myself that I would go to the yarn store & buy a very pretty be sweet yarn called bambino taffy when I moved into my new house. It was on sale today! I had completely forgotten to go get it when we closed on the house, and I'm glad I did because I got 20% off & decided to get some malabrigo lace as an extra treat haha!<br />Oh & I received a lovely ceramic mug from my head of house Hermione! It's gorgeous! It's my prize for being the random winner in our house's weekly contest. I'd take a picture but it's already put away in the disaster zone that is my kitchen.<br />Well, I'm off to unpack more boxes.sylvohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10252275562258150956noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229584898646215258.post-80377528255657787992010-05-24T17:43:00.001-07:002010-05-24T17:53:56.070-07:00Arithmancy Homework<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitEtOyvxkKKwHiK0-jDCBXtXyLGS70g_47kMrEH7vKeNkrlsgEsPD_G71M6oUcav8XhhjpqDCMj7oglZckxvvSr3PLLYYPVOM0oJLK6GIkkceH68Jq58B3yWujoMXdD2zvJUun5LiHM0E/s1600/puzzle+1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 158px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitEtOyvxkKKwHiK0-jDCBXtXyLGS70g_47kMrEH7vKeNkrlsgEsPD_G71M6oUcav8XhhjpqDCMj7oglZckxvvSr3PLLYYPVOM0oJLK6GIkkceH68Jq58B3yWujoMXdD2zvJUun5LiHM0E/s200/puzzle+1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5475003879592495474" /></a><br />Puzzle #1: Dobby<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5YCIL3jxENla55fWySgZKESAe6T32LGT57dPA0XBB5zTg2xWgvtJ2aum_xN2v85Gk7LBLmvtrm4bE7MVFuiZSB-dOgj1xORmMP5FWdVXug6_9zz3sRsSkYav8t4mua6H9L41iaZYwkeI/s1600/puzzle+2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 135px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5YCIL3jxENla55fWySgZKESAe6T32LGT57dPA0XBB5zTg2xWgvtJ2aum_xN2v85Gk7LBLmvtrm4bE7MVFuiZSB-dOgj1xORmMP5FWdVXug6_9zz3sRsSkYav8t4mua6H9L41iaZYwkeI/s200/puzzle+2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5475003886943176786" /></a><br />Puzzle #2: Harry Potter<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBSz4ggyBLeDTQNA513HV7Gl1hDliX6IiwahpZHh2P7Qvfn2LS1h7iwOBlgtXxtrDExpMmg_8IuSJAHE4Gm-esXhs0V89XkAYD6Z8A7qjTx750UIJN9pOzPuhXjsMD91EOXmCuOdri3I8/s1600/puzzle+3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 138px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBSz4ggyBLeDTQNA513HV7Gl1hDliX6IiwahpZHh2P7Qvfn2LS1h7iwOBlgtXxtrDExpMmg_8IuSJAHE4Gm-esXhs0V89XkAYD6Z8A7qjTx750UIJN9pOzPuhXjsMD91EOXmCuOdri3I8/s200/puzzle+3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5475003891936097010" /></a><br />Puzzle #3: Hogs Headsylvohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10252275562258150956noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229584898646215258.post-43241895885917217102010-05-19T20:52:00.000-07:002010-05-22T23:15:46.434-07:00Homework for the winners of the last Quidditch match (that we be us Ravenclaws)!PART 1<br /><br />Find one person for each of these questions.

If you haven't checked out the <a href="http://severussnapepm.blogspot.com/2010/04/transfiguration-homework-hargids-rock.html">transfiguration homework</a>, you should at least go and look at the picture.sylvohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10252275562258150956noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229584898646215258.post-72334163510312629662010-05-13T19:27:00.000-07:002010-05-13T19:32:43.165-07:00Quidditch trainingI'm just about to rush off to a team meeting to prepare for the upcoming quidditch game against Gryffindor this Sunday. I'll be up against my sister Intarsia. I'm not used to dueling with her, but it should be fun! A little sibling rivalry never hurt anyone.<br /><br />I've also decided to do my own self-study program. I am determined to get my Spanish skills back to where they used to be so that I can really become truly fluent in the language. I have an opportunity to possibly use my Spanish skills in the muggle world, so that will help me keep refreshed & using the language.<br />If anyone has any suggestions on online resources, books or apps that might be helpful to dust off the synapses that contain my Spanish language memories I would appreciate your comments. ;)sylvohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10252275562258150956noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229584898646215258.post-46093715784204125962010-05-02T18:45:00.001-07:002010-05-07T21:56:14.999-07:00Potions HomeworkI'm determined to finish this homework early this week!

I'll be cheering from the stands, but I've agreed to be an alternate so maybe you'll see me out on the pitch.<br /><br />I think we've got a strong team. The Slytherin beaters are going to have their work cut out for them!<br /><br />Since we didn't have any homework this week, I've decided to do the Mad-Libs that was posted in my common room:<br />Part 1, the words:<br />1. a verb: skip<br />2. a number: 4011<br />3. a body part: ear<br />4. an abstract noun: beauty<br />5. a noun: sausage<br />6. a skin condition: eczema<br />7. a body part: elbow<br />8. type of person/stereotype: hipster<br />9. a substance: goo<br />10. a fortune cookie phrase in all capital letters: A PLEASANT SURPRISE IS IN STORE FOR YOU<br />11. article of clothing: ascot<br />12. verb ending in "-ed": punched<br />13. neurological disorder: narcolepsy<br />14. an animal: emu<br />15. a fruit: kiwi<br />16. a latin (sounding) phrase in all capital letters: PERGO MOVARTIS<br />17. a body part: ankle<br />18. a large animal: humpback whale<br />19. a food: edamame<br />20. a body part in plural: fingers<br />21. a verb ending in "-ing": leaping<br />22. a nonsensical word in all capital letters: CREMTILBEG<br />23. a container: bucket<br />24. a body part: wrist<br />25. a noun: tile<br /><br />Part 2: The story<br />Harry Potter And The Curse of Dudley<br /><br />Harry Potter, the boy wonder, the (<span style="font-style:italic;">hipster</span>) of the wizarding world; sat alone in his tiny bedroom scratching his (<span style="font-style:italic;">elbow</span>) and cleaning the (<span style="font-style:italic;">goo</span>) out of Hedwig's cage. This summer wasn't nearly as boring as his previous summers had been. <br /><br />Over the summer, his cousin Dudley had grown quite frightened of him. Harry secretly kept cursing him, even though under age use of magic was strictly forbidden outside of Hog(<span style="font-style:italic;">eczema</span>)'s school of (<span style="font-style:italic;">sausage</span>)craft and (<span style="font-style:italic;">beauty</span>).<br /><br />It seemed the wizarding world turned a blind (<span style="font-style:italic;">ear</span>) when it came to Harry, and he never got in trouble for his... transgressions.<br /><br />One particularly memorable curse on Dudley happened on the (<span style="font-style:italic;">4011</span>)th/nd/st of June. It was so hot, you could (<span style="font-style:italic;">skip</span>) a/an (<span style="font-style:italic;">tile</span>) on the sidewalk. <br /><br />Dudley sat on his enormous (<span style="font-style:italic;">wrist</span>) in front of the telly, spooning (<span style="font-style:italic;">bucket</span>)ful after (<span style="font-style:italic;">bucket</span>)ful of (<span style="font-style:italic;">edamame</span>) down his throat. Harry thought he looked rather (<span style="font-style:italic;">humpback whale</span>)ish, with his piggy little eyes and fat body. <br /><br />Harry got an evil little grin on his (<span style="font-style:italic;">ankle</span>) and raised his wand behind Dudley's head. "(<span style="font-style:italic;">PERGO MOVARTIS</span>)" he shouted; which translated to English means "Turn this boy's head into a (<span style="font-style:italic;">kiwi</span>) and make him dance around like a (<span style="font-style:italic;">emu</span>) with (<span style="font-style:italic;">narcolepsy</span>)!"<br /><br />And that's just what Dudley did! He (<span style="font-style:italic;">punched</span>) off the couch, screamed "(<span style="font-style:italic;">CREMTILBEG</span>)!" to the top of his lungs, and began (<span style="font-style:italic;">leaping</span>) on the floor, while turning in circles and flapping his (<span style="font-style:italic;">fingers</span>).<br /><br />Harry was laughing so hard, he almost peed his (<span style="font-style:italic;">ascot</span>). He was still laughing, and Dudley was still flapping, when Uncle Vernon came thundering down the stairs. He had gone a nice shade of purple. He looked at Harry, shaking in anger, then looked at Dudley, horrified. "(<span style="font-style:italic;">A PLEASANT SURPRISE IS IN STORE FOR YOU</span>)!" he screamed, then calmly turned and walked away.<br /><br />Harry and Dudley looked at each other in abject confusion. Harry shrugged his shoulders in a "beats me" gesture, and the two cousins sat on the sofa, temporarily forgetting their animosity toward one another.<br /><br />Dudley lifted the half empty (<span style="font-style:italic;">bucket</span>) of (<span style="font-style:italic;">edamame</span>) and offered it to Harry.<br /><br />"Don't mind if I do!" said the bespectacled young man, grabbing a spoon and preparing to dine.<br /><br />Dudley's (<span style="font-style:italic;">fingers</span>) gave one mighty final flap, and the boys had a most enjoyable evening, indeed.sylvohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10252275562258150956noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229584898646215258.post-68597931910945172032010-04-23T19:07:00.001-07:002010-04-23T19:20:15.804-07:00S.P.E.W. & the beginning of a beautiful Quidditch seasonI've made some little booties for Ms. Mooney our S.P.E.W. coordinator for this term.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV0iJ8hIjLisJFO0nZV9XB4QhlALGcUsH9Nq4vFe-O2adFpEHGB1olDOMI32VTOC6gpRARBiszc3Yfn_7qB6ODZT_GM2Eq7evJbGAunOPNKF7M0FMV-fH6R4TEO31eiuz3UX4gUE9_dLM/s1600/IMG_7436.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV0iJ8hIjLisJFO0nZV9XB4QhlALGcUsH9Nq4vFe-O2adFpEHGB1olDOMI32VTOC6gpRARBiszc3Yfn_7qB6ODZT_GM2Eq7evJbGAunOPNKF7M0FMV-fH6R4TEO31eiuz3UX4gUE9_dLM/s200/IMG_7436.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5463521569987903490" /></a><br /><br />I think I'll try to knit another pair but change the pattern to in the round, maybe use smaller needles as well.<br /><br />Tomorrow is the first Quidditch game of the season!

I'm so excited to be at Hogwarts, and I was sorted into Ravenclaw!<br />For our first homework assignment we are supposed to write about three of our favorite people from the wizarding world. It is so hard to pick just three! I love so many. But I have chosen and here they are along with their qualities that I love.<br /><br />1)Sirius Black: I love Sirius. He doesn't play by the rules, he is loyal to his friends, and he's an animagus! How cool is it that he can turn into a big, black dog? He follows his heart and he is passionate about what he believes in. I love his devil-may-care attitude. I was terribly upset when he died; poor Harry could have had wonderful summers if only Sirius had survived. (I really love the way Gary Oldman portrays him in the movies.)<br /><br />2)Hermione: She is, as we all know, amazingly smart and ingenious. I love that she knits hats for house-elf liberation and that she put together S.P.E.W.! Hermione is loyal and compassionate. She has an obsession with finding the answer to every problem (I'm the same way). I also love that she challenges herself. I've never had to use a time turner so that I could make it to all of my classes, but I would really like to have one!<br /><br />3)Hagrid: Who else could take care of the most dangerous magical creatures? I love animals just as much as he does. He, like Sirius, doesn't mind breaking a rule or two. I think I must like people who aren't afraid to bend the rules. I love that he always wanted a baby dragon & that he got one! If I had a dragon I would want this one:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIZahyphenhyphenZ3NAovpD7Y5iINr5mziEjxf6iK-oZDlav1fRhqo05jjdpyn2MpC_jfqUROiY3kEDGRadrn8zqGH7SzZqQf-8h1qB9wUKJuyw-bwg5kaV3ntuQTmsIdu0FpovEhTYJ1t8qpCRzEA/s1600/rawr.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 140px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIZahyphenhyphenZ3NAovpD7Y5iINr5mziEjxf6iK-oZDlav1fRhqo05jjdpyn2MpC_jfqUROiY3kEDGRadrn8zqGH7SzZqQf-8h1qB9wUKJuyw-bwg5kaV3ntuQTmsIdu0FpovEhTYJ1t8qpCRzEA/s200/rawr.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5455748936157238194" /></a>sylvohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10252275562258150956noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229584898646215258.post-3002995433584697072009-12-23T21:41:00.000-08:002009-12-23T21:46:20.272-08:00Where's the stolen trophy at??Well, with winnie's latest package she included the trophy thief's possessions. All of these items are things that Draco malfoy would carry. And they were items that he used in the room of requirement. I'm guessing the thief hid the trophy in the room of requirement, hogwarts, UK. (I'm trying to be vague because there is talk of the trophy being in a region that may not be in the HP world)sylvohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10252275562258150956noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229584898646215258.post-41545359369686707702009-12-18T10:27:00.000-08:002009-12-18T10:31:43.784-08:00Winnie's Secret LettersAt last we get to find out what Winnie has been searching for on her travels & what all those mysterious bold letters were all about.
