Who and why...

I'm probably most like Molly Weasley, always mothering people (not just my kids) and I'd probably like to be like Molly, fighting alongside of Minerva at the Battle of Hogwarts. I need to think on this more. Hmmm.

Homework

Arithmancy is just not my subject. I've heard a couple of students solved the puzzle, but I haven't yet. Must to a bit more work and look at the link that Lizzie provided.

Almost done with my handmade item :) Then in just a couple of weeks, Caractacus will fly!

Swap kit progress

I'm making progress on my kit for my spoilee, Fleur Sweeting. The handmade item is nearly done and I'm looking forward to the finished item. Today I picked up a few goodies to go alongside of the yarn, pattern, and another item ordered and arrived a couple of weeks ago.

Also picked up a house prize today to send to a lucky student (we have someone in mind for this week's cypher assignment winner) and a muggle item called an Ott Light. It's small but provides a very nice, non-magical light source for knitting, finishing long homework scrolls, and practicing.

Here's a non-magical image of another witch and myself from a recent meeting after a strange trip from the Three Broomsticks.
