My favorite part of book 7

I just finished rereading book 7. Still love it! Still get frustrated by all the camping parts, but I think you are suppose to so you feel as frustrated as the trio. And my favorite part is still the very end. I love those little family moments. I think Harry and Ginny would be great parents. It will be great to see Harry as a dad and his dream of a family complete. I wish Warner Brothers would do a Hogwarts animated tv series. I think that could be a lot of fun if done right.

HSKS 12 favorite things

A few of my favorite things

I am not a picky person. I just like to be surprised and to get things that make me smile. I hope this helps my spoiler.


* Knit or crochet or both?
I have been crocheting for two years now and I just finished my first knitting project. I can knit and purl and that is it for now. I would like to learn how to knit in the round on circular needles as my next goal for knitting. I love crocheting just about anything.

* Brands you would like to try but don't have easy access to
I am not too picky on brands because I don't really know too many. Knitpicks.com has been my best friend lately. Everyone keeps talking about Malabrigo, so that could be fun to try.

* Favorite fibers/least favorite fibers
I love soft fibers. I don't have any particular favorites, but I love trying new blends.

* Favorite colors/least favorite colors
My most favorite colors are all shades of purple and blue, but I love all colors.

* Yarn weight preferences
I don't have any preferences to weight but I do ask that you send a pattern with it. I am horrible at making choices for patterns for the yarn I have lying around.

* Favorite projects
I enjoy making scarves and bags, but I like trying new patterns for different things. I love making earrings and other jewelry. I am always open to trying new crafts. I think I am finally going to break down and buy a sewing machine, because I have been thinking about sewing alot!

* Favorite designers
Ann Kingstone, but I have a long way to go before I can do her designs. I love being introduced to new designers. Surprise me!

* Salty or Sweet or...?
I love it all except licorice flavors and I am not that big into candy. I love chocolate, trail mix, and well more chocolate. My favorite things that I cannot get here are starcrunches.

* Tea or Coffee or...?
I love fruit teas and hot chocolate (not the mix with water kind). Italy spoiled me with rich creamy hot chocolate.

* Allergies
I don’t have any, but my hubby and my son are allergic to cats.

* Other things you like, i.e., buttons, pens, fabric, stitchmarkers, etc.
Fun buttons and beads are always useful. The only bead shopping I do is online, so I love getting new beads and other jewelry supplies. I love notebooks and journals. I love reading, cooking, photography, dancing, and playing games with my family.

My Kit from Emma Diggory!

I feel super spoiled right now! I cannot believe her owl got here so quickly. Emma must have put a speeding charm on it. I love love love my kit!
First things I opened were my lucky stitch markers, earrings, and so cool domino bracelet. Then I opened my new large stash of Knitpicks Wool of the Andes in a wonderful array of colors which goes with my new book Amigurumi World Seriously Cute Crochet (which I have been wanting!!). I also got a really comfy looking size G crochet hook to help me make those cute animals. Emma also sent me word search, Sudoku, hangman, and tic tac toe books. She surprised me with not one but three boxes of starcrunches which I cannot get here. My little house elf loved "Lighning Queen box" matching game which we are playing tonight. And last but certainly not least is my handmade felted backgammon set!!! I love it so much. The dragonflies and butterflies are so cute. Thank you for the time and effort you put into making this for me. It is so lovely! You have made my month!! You are the best Emma Diggory!

Last week of camp! I'm so sad. It went by so fast. I wonder if anyone will ever find those extra water balloons. Can't wait for my swap kit to get here! Thanks everyone for such a fun camp. Especially my Hutties!

My owl goes out tomorrow. I have a house lef free day all day so I hope to get a lot done.

Just a little tease of what is to come!

Dino Park

My little house elf and I had a fun outing into the muggle world today.
