It's been awhile........
Since I last posted what I've been up to. That's because for the past couple of weeks things have been busy and active and hectic and along with trying to complete mollys for friends, I've also had to complete an afghan for a wedding present by this past Saturday. Joe had a wedding to officiate at our church and I made this for the couple.
As well as did their programs and a ceremony booklet for Joe to use during the service and then be a keepsake for them after.
Also, have been working on some mollys and mailed out three so far so Kadidid, Overcast and Lezlishae watch your mailboxes!!
Shae!
Kadi
Delana
Have assembled and am working on the trim for Flipendo's and have Hpmommy's waiting to be assembled and trimmed. The body for Hp5freak's is almost done and will be starting another batch of sleeves as I work on more bodies as well.
Taking a break -- well is it a break if you're working on Mollys as you listen? -- Joe and i went back to Sweet Bay Coffee House in Ft. Smith for the celtic music they have on the second Sunday of the month. It had been a few months since we'd been there so it was a nice way to relax.
Now, back to work on Mollys!
By they way if you are keeping count, that's 9 mollys completed!

Mugglefest 2007
As Rosemary has mentioned, we had an AWESOME time at Mugglefest 2007. Once again the Norman Public Library (Yay Rebecca!); went all out and with the support of local businesses, provided an great day of Harry Potter fun and magic for area families. Rosemary worked the information table during the afternoon and I was the prefect for the Care of Magical Creatures class. One of the demonstrations involved creatures I cannot stand and am totally terrified of... he went to the FARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR end of the room away from where I would have to watch the door from me. Obviously, as you have guessed by now there will be no photos of that guy in here. However two wonderful officers from the Norman PD brought their partners, Pablo and Lux who were the most pleasant officers I have ever met. Course I wasn't doing anything illegal with them around. Two very beautiful german shepherds.
At the end, each student received their own magical creature, a pygmy puff, to care for. Over 300 pygmy puffs found a home.
Of course Lady Macbeth was with me and did a bit of fangirlin'
However, so did Emily, the Merch lady for HatP! Hp5freak had created some great little cookbooks she gave us at PR. She let me have a few extras and I shared one with Emily who immediately began squeeing and fangirling
However, we did find some unusual looking fans at Mugglefest!
A long but wonderful day!
Oh yea and what did I do between CoMC sessions... well, here's something you don't see every day Molly making Mollys!

Why I haven't posted here recently. - Stephen Martin 1924 to 2007.
Just before Easter, my dad, who has had emphysema for over 10 years, was put into hospice. On Monday, April 16th, I was called back to Virginia when he took a particularly bad spell. Left here about 3:15 CST and arrived in Covington about 10 a.m Tuesday. Too early to go over their apartment, I waited at a new coffeeshop in town that had wireless
Welcome to the
During the week, I simply spent time there and helped Mom as best as I could. Dad was eating very little, mostly soft, but you could see how hard he had to work to breathe. If nothing had happened by Saturday, I'd return home and come back May 10th as planned (son gets AAS on 11th). There was nothing more doctors could do for him. Anything would be prolonging and he did not want that. One day there, he did not want to be 'touched'. He let mom brush his hair but 'grumbled'. He would speak one or two words before becoming winded again.
In the evenings, I would just sit with them working on various craft projects I had brought with me.
Come Saturday, I headed back to Oklahoma and stayed the night halfway in Bowling Green KY. I had not been 15 minutes back on the road Sunday morning when my daughter called my cell and told me he was gone. I turned around and returned to Virginia for a few days.
That morning, quietly, peacefully and as painlessly as was possible, my father left this world for one where he can now breathe freely and be active like he once was.
Dad was 82 and if he had lived, he and mom would have been married 58 years in June. He loved his family and we are all the better for his having lived.
It's hard but it was much harder seeing him last week become something he never wanted to be a full invalid. Dad's free now and someday we will see him again.
I love you Dad.
I returned to Oklahoma, arriving here last Thursday around lunch time after managing to stop in Memphis for supper and spend time with Kelly. Thought I would make it all the way home that night but between being more tired then I thought, lightening, sporadic downpours -- I ended up getting a room after all (yea yea yea I know you told me so Kelly :D ROFL) Then woke up 3:30 am sick. and was up and down all night so changed 6:30 wake up call to 9:00 and got home around 12:30 Thursday.
Since then, I have hit the ground running once I got back home last Thursday and in that time,
At work I have
Completed, printed, collated, folded and mailed newsletter (with hubby help last Saturday, thank you Joe :))
Updated info in bulletins through end of May
Printed and folded last Sunday's bulletins

Still have to plot out my Anne Rice sites on the blown up map of the quarter I made. Can do that while printing out stuff at work
And still have to make signs.
Everything that's ready is packed and stacked to be loaded in car.
Oh and that triangle shawl I started though that and sweater trim can be on the road projects.
Still need to do my piece of the Pontalbon project.
Plus stuff around here that has to be done yet.
Still doing laundry but last load now in dryer (Argh! and will still have to do some before last packing wednesday ^_-)

*sigh*
I'll be returning to Virginia for my son's graduation May 10th until that Tuesday when I'll head to a conference in New Orleans and then on the 21st, back up to Virginia and travelling to NJ with Mom and my kids for the interment of Dad's cremains.
Will try to update as I can.

Pontalbon goodies!
Ok, went to Walmart this afternoon and detoured into the Dollar Tree near there. Had not been into Dollar Tree in a while so found a lot of new things... including these goodies for my House uniform.
The beret was found at Walmart marked down to $3 too :D
The packet holds 5 of those bracelets that you snap and light up in the color shown. Not sure what I'll do with the glass stones but maybe decorate a photo frame for a shot of some of my friends. And the ribbon rosettes, not sure what I'll do with them but will find something :D
Also found a basket done in Ravenclaw colors for hubby :D

Various & Assorted
Last night, received my letter saying I was sorted into Pontalbon! SQUEE At the time, thought I had a skirt that would be good for uniform garb for me. Now that I look at it not sure.
What do you think? Is this Pontalbon or more fitting for Zodico?
However did find a nice tie that can be used for Ravenclaw for hubby yesterday at a thrift shop
And finally took photo of my finished Molly #4 which needs to be packed up and mailed
