RAoKarific!

I just received THE MOST AMAZING RAoK ever!! Thank you Clara Clavenhoof! The box was so big and contained so many gifts, I seriously thought it was my swap package. I did not relize it was a RAoK until I found the note on the bottom of the package. Not only did I have wonderful things sent to me, but she also included gifts for my dogter!! So here is my loot:Clara is quite the stalker! She knew exactly what to get me. Look at the seeds she gave me (how did you know that tomatoes and white bunching onions are my FAVORITE veggies?) And no worries about zones, they will grow wonderfully down here!Here is the owl she made for me!! No you can not have him, he is all mine and will soon be joining the Owlery (after he gets a little rest).

Did I mention this was a HUGE RAoK??  It is so big that I had to split the goods into two seperate posts.  Keep reading and drooling below!

RAoKarific Part 2!

This is the gorgeous bag she made for me and my first ever row counter! Love the Slythern colors!Clara said she did not know what type of treat my dogter would like. Judging from the drool spot (see bottom of pic) and how fast she ate it, I think she did very well!

What toy did Lizzie bring her daddy when he got home from work today?? Oh yeah, her new favorite toy!

And everyone knows gummies are always nummy!

THANK YOU SO MUCH CLARA!

Poor Shaun the Sheep

Above is a picture of Shaun the Sheep. As you can see, he does not have a sweater to keep him warm. So, my question to you, is how do you make a pattern for a stuffed animal?

Little Update

I just love Luna's glasses! I so wish I could find a Luna-like friend out here. You just know she would be a hoot to hang out with!

In case you have ever wondered if wood actually contracts and expands, I found out first hand it does!! I took a weaving class a few weeks ago. I brought my loom from Minnesota to Arizona, and it no longer fits!! The good news is that I found a second heddle kit that I can install and appears that it will work even better than the old set-up! For right now, I tied some wood blocks to the inside.

Well, I picked up the cutest fabric this week, so I am off to make a pair of pajama bottoms. I may use the extra to make a bag or two!! Cross your fingers for me!

Snowflakes at Hogwarts

Well, I cannot confirm nor deny I had anything to do with the recent snowfall here at Hogwarts (and I am sure that Pukema will also not be able to confirm nor deny the rumors!).  However, or whoever, is responsible it sure was fun!  Some of us conjured up a few of the dining hall trays and candles.  Man do those trays make good sleds, especially with a little wax on the bottom!  Above is a picture of our favorite hill.  By the end of the day, we had the perfect trail set up and iced!  Man did we fly!  If there is another snow day, say perhaps next Thursday, you should come join us!  Be sure to bring a bribe (hot chocolate, fire whiskey, and/or cookies) and we will help you find our trail!
