Not the only one!

Phew! I was glad to see in the Daily Prophet today that I am not the only one who hasn't gotten my package out yet! I keep seeing all these owls arrive and feeling quite badly that Marty hasn't gone off with the package for my partner yet! I still feel quite badly...but now I know I'm in good company! I might have to send it off on Tuesday because I have an all-day make-up lesson in Transfiguration on Saturday. I'll be turning a brick of clay into a vase with a dragon on it. I won't have time to get to the Owlery and send it off with Marty, but it might be possible for me to get my Gryffindor boy-friend (or is he my boyfriend?) to take it up to the Owlery for me.

Owls all around!

The cutest little owl arrived here yesterday with a package almost as big as she was! In the package was the adult kit for Maggie Pace's Snugs (and the pattern for the baby ones)! I think those are so cute & I can't wait to knit that kit up! I need to check and make sure I have the proper needle, and of course, I still need to finish 1/2 a sleeve and seam up my sweater. Those Snugs will keep my feet so warm... I probably picked a bad time of year to start them!
I've been seeing all sorts of owls with packages bringing wonderful swap kits to many of my classmates! So exciting!

Progress Reports

With the end of the term coming up, I decided to talk to some of my professors and see where I stand as far as grades will go. I think Mum and Dad will be very pleased with my marks! With some hard work and perhaps a bit of natural talent, I've managed to do quite well in all of my subjects this year. But especially...

Almost ready!

Today I need to get my hands on some wrapping supplies so I can pack up my spoilee's kit. Of course, all of the things I wanted to get or make for the kit didn't get done, or didn't get found. But, I still managed to do a few little extras, and I hope my partner will just love it! If only I had a time-turner, I'd have been able to finish all of the ideas I had about putting in the kit (a whole notebook page full---front and back!)
Another thing that is almost ready is my sweater! I finished the right sleeve (I suppose it could be the left sleeve, but I kept on trying it on my right arm, so it just kind of seems like it should be the right sleeve) last night. Now the left sleeve and the neckline to go. Bummer... I really wanted to finish it and wear it on Thursday (3 weeks after I started it!) but I think I might need a few more days.

Happy Easter!

Holidays at Hogwarts are such fun! Some of us didn't get to go back home to our families for Easter weekend, so the teachers at Hogwarts really made it special for us! I woke up to an Easter basket filled with loads of delicious candies- chocolate bunnies, chocolate eggs, gummy chicks and marshmallow chicks. There were magical colored eggs hidden all over the school and the grounds. Some were enchanted to disappear or change back into other objects when you got close. I hope we ended up finding all of the real eggs so Hogwarts doesn't start to smell! We had a late breakfast in the great hall and boy was it delicious! A huge Easter brunch feast! I ate so much that I doubt I'll even want to go down for dinner tonight!

Time flies!

I can't believe that Easter weekend is already here. Even when you don't use magic, time flies! I'll have to work up some kind of coloring spell for my Easter eggs, because all the wizards with young children bought up all the coloring kits that had been in Hogsmeade. Guess I should've bought one on my last visit. Hope the Easter bunny will still stop by!

Owls galore!

Owls galore are being sent and arriving daily... it's making me really feel bad that I haven't sent Marty off to my partner yet. I keep reminding myself that I still have time before the deadline, and that I'll still even get mine sent off before the deadline...but I hope my partner isn't feeling nervous! No need to worry, partner... it WILL be sent off soon!
