1. What Hogwarts house have you been sorted into? HUFFLEPUFF
2. List your favorite double-point needle brands, including size and length. Or would you prefer circulars? DPN's Well, my dream set would be ebony wood needles. However, I use Clover and Brittany wood DPN's and Susan Bates metal. I NEVER use circulars :D
3. Would you like to try a new brand needle? If so, which brand? Size? Length? Lantern Moon Ebony Size US 8, 9 or 10 Usually 6 or 8 inch
4. If you are a RAVENCLAW, do you prefer the colors in the film or the book? Do you have a strong preference? N/A
5. Do you have any allergies? None
6. If you are swapping scarves - what is your desired length for the pattern? This will help your partner find the pattern that is just right for you and buy yarn accordingly. Well, I'm a large sized woman so whatever scarf pattern it is, I would need to make it long to go around my neck properly. Probably about 70" I would guess.

..... too much HP on the brain when your husband is preaching and using eagles and their characteristics as examples and
He says: Eagles are intelligent birds
You think: RAVENCLAW
He says: Eagles are Loyal
You think: HUFFLEPUFF
He says: Eagles are Couragous
You think; GRYFFINDOR
He says Eagles will fend for themselves when they have to
And you think SLYTHERIN

So He Sends ME To The Meeting.
One of the disadvantages of Joe being a "part-time" pastor is that he has to work a full-time secular job and cannot always get a day off for different meetings in the District and State. While he was able to take a vacation day last thursday for one in OKC, he could not get yesterday off for a charge reports training session but was allowed to send someone in his place. Ergo...... ME!
Took my crochet of course, left here at got to the meeting and upon returning home with my notes and handouts, the following conversation ensues:
Joe: Hey!
Me: Hi! Home! *hugs*
Joe: How was the meeting?
Me: Great!!! I got 3/4 of the body of a Molly sweater done at it
Joe: *facepalm*

You are The Magician
Skill, wisdom, adaptation. Craft, cunning, depending on dignity.
Eleoquent and charismatic both verbally and in writing,
you are clever, witty, inventive and persuasive.
The Magician is the male power of creation, creation by willpower and desire. In that ancient sense, it is the ability to make things so just by speaking them aloud. Reflecting this is the fact that the Magician is represented by Mercury. He represents the gift of tongues, a smooth talker, a salesman. Also clever with the slight of hand and a medicine man - either a real doctor or someone trying to sell you snake oil.
What Tarot Card are You?
Take the Test to Find Out.
Kiss Kiss
| Your Kiss is Black |
Your kisses are amazing. You put a lot of effort into your kissing technique. You are a perfectionist, and you never leave any kissing detail to chance. When you're kissing, you like to be in charge. You don't enjoy someone else taking the lead. You know you're the best kisser. In fact, you're often disappointed by how other people kiss. Kissing Type: Thoughtful People See Your Kisses as: Amazingly unreal You Kiss Best With: A Pink Kisser Stay away from: A Green Kisser |

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!

Me?
| Your Psyche is Violet |
You are spiritual, intuitive, and serene. People trust you to rescue them from bad situations, and you usually come through. While you are quite enlightened, you find that your path is very lonely. When you are too violet: you can't connect to ordinary life or ordinary people When you don't have enough violet: you lack wisdom and can't learn from the past |
My Birthday
| Your Birthdate: September 3 |
You are more than a big ball of energy - you are a big ball of hyper. You are always on the go, but you don't have a type a personality. Instead of channeling your energy into work, you instead go for fun and adventure. Witty and verbal, you can have an interesting conversation with anyone. Your strength: Your larger than life imagination Your weakness: You tend to be pretty scattered Your power color: Lime Your power symbol: Lightening bolt Your power month: March |
