Horcrux explanations!

Marvolo Gaunt’s Ring:

This year, I moved back to Minnesota from Arizona. I am a little low on wonderfully hand knitted/crocheted cold weather gear. Thus, I choose this horcrux in hopes that a cowl, hat, wristlets, fingerless gloves/mittens would magically appear in my kit!

Rowena Ravenclaw’s Diadem:

As with the above group, I choose this to increase my cold weather gear! Thus, I would be delighted to find a hat or scarf in my kit!

Nagini:

As you may have noticed, I am a bit obsessed with my dog! So anything that looks like my four legged dogter, oh I mean my Animugus, would be amazing!

Hope that helps!

Hello fellow HSKSers! So excited to be back!

Let’s see, I was born Lavender Diggory and was originally sorted into the Ravenclaw house. After one of my more mischievous plots to cure boredom, I was introduced to Sirius Dolohov from the Slytherin house. Sirius and I started dating, much to the dismay of my parents. Can you believe they think he placed a spell on me? Just because a boy gives you a ring does not mean it always has to be cursed! Well, we ended up getting married that year. Because my parents refused to acknowledge our marriage (they still believe in this curse thing), the one and only luscious Lucious Malfoy gave me away! And yes, he is even better looking in person! The next term I was moved into the Slytherin house and my name is now Lavender Diggory-Dolohov! But our honeymoon did not last!

About half way into the term, Sirius disappeared! I have not seen him since. His house elf, Pukema, returned to school after his disappearance. He made me do all sorts of things and in return he gave me clues regarding the disappearance. But Pukema also ended up mysterious leaving in the middle of the night. Thankfully my Animagus is a german shorthaired pointer named Lizzie. I have been able to follow his trail which has lead me to some strange places. I took jobs at Azkaban and St. Mungo’s because his trail led me there. Last month, his trail led me back to Hogwarts. Not sure what clues I will uncover while here!

OH MY GOSH!!!

THANK YOU URSULA LONGBOTTOM!!!!  

Oh my gosh!!  Looks what just came in from the Owlery!!!  I am absolutely and positively a spoiled rotten witch!!!  There was so much in the box, I had to post pics in three blogs!

Here is a picture of the entire kit!!  Can you believe she fit it into one box??

Check out this yarn!!  The multi-colored yarn is colorway Severus Snape.  Not only is it gorgeous it is absolutely soft and scrumtios to the fingers!   Ursula also sent me 2 additional skeins, check out the next post to see the fingerless gloves I will knit with them!

Check out the loot!!

And there is still more!!!  I got the Transition Gloves pattern I have been oogling for the longest time.  She also sent me a hand repair kit (she must have seen a pic of my hands, the desert climate is not kind to the skin).

Here is Lavender Oil washing liquid (how fitting for me) and a plant that you grow in a ceramic egg!  I have never seen this before and cannot wait to try it out!
Here are the nummies and Harry Potter merchandise (cannot wait to hand out the Bert's Beans to unsuspecting prey!)
She also included goodies for Lizzie!!  Here she is inspecting the treats.  She, like Ursula's Dog, love them!!  I wonder where she got them??
Here is a close-up of the treats, and if you have a dogter or four legged son, I, I mean we, highly suggest them!  Also in this pic is tea that is supposed to calm and aid in sleeping.

2 Reversible Bags = 4 Bags

Saved the best for the last post!!!  How lucky am I??  Not only did Ursula find the most beautiful fabrics, but she made me two reversible bags.  So, actually I got 4 bags!!!!  They are absolutely beautiful with great craftsmanship.  Here are pics so you too can drool:
