Sunday Self-Portrait August 13th

A Day in the LIfe of a Podcast Roadie!

Well, we awoke early to meet Kelly at the Airport! Of course, we had to greet her in proper wizarding style!



From there, it was back to Rosemary's to gather our things and head to Norman and Mugglefest! Finding the Train Depot with no problems, We went in and Rosemary and Kelly prepared themselves for the first of 3 Trivia Competitions with the 4th one being the championship round. And so it began!



While they were doing that, I wandered the streets of Norman seeing what else abounded. All three of us were amazed at some of the amazing sidewalk art that was being produced for the Art Contest they were having.

Two of our favs were:




While the Trivia contests at the train depot continued, I wandered over to the Library to see what events they had going on there! It was fantastic. I got to meet Rebecca one of the AWESOME group of Library staff and volunteers behind this event! She graciously submitted to my first "interview" for Fangirlin' and also posed for a photo with my dear friend Lady Macbeth who is sporting her Hufflepuff colors proudly!



I also got to interview the dear potions master Professor Snape while there (and hopefully Kelly will be merciful and edit my stumbling out of it :D) They turned the library into Hogwarts for the day and had classes in Potions, Herbology, Divination as well as Dumbledore with the Sorting Hat and various crafts. They also held a Harry Potter Movie Marathon and showed all 4 movies during the day.

Being the Roadie for Fangirlin' for the day was rewarded by being able to sit in for their live broadcast during the "Meet & Greet Harry & the Potters" including getting a chance to meet the band and have my photo taken with them!



After that, Rosemary's husband, Justin and I went to get in line for tickets at the Sooner Theatre while Rosemary and Kelly went backstage and interviewed the bands for their podcast!



Later that night, it was concert time and the night began with Draco and the Malfoys



After a short intermission it was Harry & the Potters!



Both groups were great and so was the crowd! It was a wonderful concert and a good time was had by all! Afterwards, we had been invited to join in an after concert dinner at Coach's with the workers and the two bands. We had a wonderful time and met some wonderful people.

Just before we left, the band members posed with us for a picture and even the band Roadie - George - (YAY George! Roadies Rock!) and the Fangirlin' Roadie - yours truly - got in the picture!



YAY WIZARD ROCK!

OKC

Its the night before Mugglefest and all through the house
The muggles are restless as the wizards expound
On various trivia and thoughts on the books
And have the HP movies on for the sound.

They filled time with knitting
and thinking up questions
One of their number was missing
and called in suggestions

And so it arose that tomorrow would be
A day for fun, fresh air and of course HP

And so after arriving in OKC suburbs at Rosemary's, we headed to Barnes and Noble to knit with Shelly. Managed to finally finish my Voodoo Wrist Warmers (uh remember them from the Knitting Olympics in February ..yea those, finally done!) and sewed a pygmy puff together.



Hi Kelly!!! See you in the morning :D

The Molly is finished!!!!!!!

Pattern by: Crochet Cabin

Self Portrait Sunday

Finishing the Molly

Progress on the Molly

Some of the most dangerous words in the English language are How hard can that be to make? It's hard, trust me but here is the apron to go with the Molly sweater. Constructed using a wraparound blouse as the basic start for the bodice and pieces of a skirt cutting 3 instead of 2 and binding and well let's not discuss the rest LOL

Day 8 and Molly continues

Front left done, working on front right.

Day 5 through 7 progress on the Molly

Harry & the Potters November Concert

Day 4, the Molly Continues

Well, in spite of making 16 pizzas for VBS where I work, I managed to still get the back started!!

Continuing Progress on Molly

As you can see both sleeves are now finished and tonight, it's on to the back!!!

Challenge is a good thing...............Isn't it????????

AND Sunday night..........because a certain "Knitter Who Will Not Be Named" posted a photo of the Gryffindor scarf she is making to wear to the Harry and the Potters concert we are going to on August 8th.......... I decided to figure out if I could make a scarf in time. This led to wondering if I could put enough pieces together for a Trelawney costume which led to searching for pictures and not finding good ones which led to searching for Molly Weasley pictures which led to finding the pattern for the sweater with multicolored sleeves she wears in the movies.....................

Do I really need to explain further?



So here is the yarn



And at the end of Day 1 - Monday,



Day 2 - Tuesday

Too hot lately to take pictures but I'll post an old one for now :)

What's your Beer Personality?

You Are Guinness

You know beer well, and you'll only drink the best beers in the world. Watered down beers disgust you, as do the people who drink them. When you drink, you tend to become a bit of a know it all - especially about subjects you don't know well. But your friends tolerate your drunken ways, because you introduce them to the best beers around.

What's Your Beer Personality?

What Kind Of Puppy Are You?

You Are a German Shepherd Puppy

Intelligent, quick witted, and a bit aggressive. You've got the jaw power to take a bite out of anyone you choose.

What Breed of Puppy Are You?

My dragon color is:

A GREEN Dragon Lies Beneath!

I took the Inner Dragon online quiz and found out I am a Green Dragon on the inside. My Inner Dragon is the embodiment of Nature and the Earth. Greens spend almost all of their time below the canopy or just above the treetops in tropical rain forests. Not a bad life considering every other creature in the forest looks up to me, figuratively and literally. I speak the language of every animal and plant in my domain and know most of them by first name. If people mess with my forests, I'm more than happy to wail on their puny butts. Because of my protector/caretaker role, I am the Earth Elemental dragon.



Naturally my whole life pretty much revolves around the other couple million species I keep an eye on, but that's not my whole dragon. I also like to like to impose my steadfast will on others, commune with Nature, and lobby governments for alternative fuels and conservation. My favorable attributes are gemstones, mountains, caves, soil, respect, endurance, responsibility, prosperity, and purpose in life. Folks shouldn't get the idea I'm a hippy pushover though, because my breath weapon is a nasty Fire/Acid combination. Maybe I should invest in a hemp shirt reading "Don't knock my smock, or I'll clean your clock." *wink*

SPS a few days late :)
