Harry, A History & Mission: Houston

SEKKRIT PROJECT #1:

Last week, a wonderful book was released: Harry, A History. Written by Melissa Anelli, of The Leaky Cauldron.org, the book contains a foreward by JKR herself and is available from Amazon and many bookstores. To celebrate with Melissa, the Crafty Witches wanted to do something to congratulate her and now that the package has been sent and the delivery confirmation shows its delivered I can show what sekkrit project #1 was :)



This week I also finished 2 more 'sekkrit projects' for a dear lady, who we know as DorisTLC, from The Leaky Cauldron.org as well. Doris lost everything that was in her house during Hurricane Ike yet once she was able to go back home... well, the Crafty Witches Craft Along announcement says it best:

Almost anyone who has ever visited Leaky Lounge knows of DorisTLC. Leaky's very own Project Manager, she is known far and wide as one of the most helpful, generous, and all-around nicest people you can ever have the pleasure of knowing. *bows to DorisTLC*

DorisTLC lost all of her material belongings in Hurricane Ike this year. (*shakes fist at Ike*) Her spirit, though, remained strong, and even in the midst of her own personal tragedy she was giving to others by finding volunteers to donate time and school supplies to Operation C.R.A.Y.O.N.. (How awesome is that?)

However, besides the Craft Along announced last week (and if you haven't checked it out please do so! ), the staff at Leaky decided to organize some support and love for Doris. and I were the lucky ones who got to travel to Houston this weekend and deliver it to Doris.




The afghan was crocheted in homespun and of course, a Molly for Doris :D More photos of the day are here. We had hoped to detour through Austin on our way home and catch up with and but time prevented that :( But next time :) As it was, we didn't get back to Rosemary's till 11 p.m. Saturday night and then this afternoon, hubby and I returned home. (or maybe yesterday afternoon already :D Lol) but it was a great weekend!

Halloween Fun

Tonight was the first Halloween Joe did not have to work since 2003 and we went to Leoncia's in Ft. Smith, AR. It's a New Orleans style restaurant which holds Celtic Night once a month and it happened to be tonight. We had a great time and went in costume -- I wore my Ren Faire market dress and Joe dressed as a cowboy......... Though considering we live in Oklahoma I wonder if anyone realized it was his costume :D LOL

The staff was all in costume too and we had a wonderful time. Also worked on a Molly there, got the back done and started one of the front pieces started.






Back home to relax with Bell, Book & Candle and some Vampire Red Wine... mmmmmm

To all my friends and fiends

The latest....

I have spent the past few afternoons listening to this........



It seems the city needs to replace its very old waterlines with pvc lines and they've reached the area around our house. So its a big cat with jackhammer going, small cat moving debris and digging and just loads of noise.

I've been distracting myself today working on a 'sekkrit project' for someone with a special event coming up. Started it at the doctor's office last week waiting on the doctor to come in after the nurse took out the stitches




And right now its here: But I'm stll working on it tonight.



Did get another Molly done and delivered to Chrissie just in time for the Wrock cruise she's going on. Have a great time Chrissie!



Right now, the sky ahs darkened and the wind picked up a bit earlier with the temperatures dropping a bit but none of the rain they said we might get today. But still nice weather to snuggle up with some crochet.

Okay, just to make a liar out of me, I no sooner typed the period for the preceding sentence when the rain started. :D

Crafty Update - Picspam once again

Ok, so the last time I updated you on my Molly Sweater progress was here. Since then, alot of those parts have now become these which have now found homes with , , , Lizzie, Melissa, Cnprpl and Shawna at Leaky Cauldron as well as ,






However, my craFting these past months did not stop there. I made the atc's and owls below for some swaps at Terminus, the tshirts for the DRAGONs team (Leaky Con 09 Informal Programming Team) to wear at Terminus as well as a crown for our Queen Dragon :), gifts for friends and fiends that I looked forward to spending time with while there (and did :D ).

















Made myself a shawl to wear to the ball at Terminus and then made shawls for and her mom,



There was a wedding at Terminus and I wanted to make a small something for the couple... this afghan



And along with an apron above, made this for a Twilight swap with Cat
