Belated Halloween Pic

Opps, I never did end up posting my picture of my Halloween costume. I was a "mad scientist."



And in my pocket you can see the amazingly cute felted bat I made for the costume. (Because like Slytherins, mad scientists are also fond of dark dungeons.) There is more info about that project on my my blog post.

Owl Received

I have been quite remiss! I received an amazing package from Pandora Phelps, but I have had several set backs in actually blogging about it.


Not only were there all sorts of fun pictures to open, but there was also one addressed to my "little witch-in-training". She was thrilled! And she is planning to use the bracelet making kit this week.


I was far from forgotten though. Inside were a bunch of green goodies. There were DPNs in a size I didn't have, and cute sock point protectors to use with them. Also included was enough Tofutsies sock yarn that I think I could make a good size toddler sweater if I wanted to. And not one, but two tins of minty goodness!

And last, but not least, a beautiful needle case. If I didn't know the guidelines for the swap I would totally have thought it was commercially made, it is really that well done. The perfect seams, the beautiful fabric, the elegant binding, the flawless zipper installation; I am seriously impressed.

Thank you so much for everything. This package is amazing!

Halloween 2008

Alas I won't be able to post my Halloween costume until tomorrow (too late for the Slytherin prompt), but I will share since it was lots of fun.

Yesterday we went straight from school to a friend's house for dinner. Then we headed over to see the Anti-morris (done at sun-down on Samhain in silence rather than sun-up on May Day with bells). Very fun! Then we skipped the mumming in favor of trick-or-treating. Hopefully soon in a year to come we will get to stay and watch the mumming plays though, since it looked really interesting.
