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!

Search for Siruis
Okay, so I had to leave abruptly after last term. I told everyone it was for training, but that was just my cover. I actually went out to find my missing husband. The clues lead me to some REALLY scary places. Being I had to travel into muggle country, I had to ride my broom at night. The picture above is some of the terrain I flew in. Oh no, someone is coming, I will write more later! Sweet dreams!
