What Would Dumbledore Do?

Fri Jul 31 12:08:00 -0400 2009

Lately, I've found so many things happening in the past few days that lead me to wonder what others would do in these incidents. Simply because it never hurts to try to look at your situation through other eyes and as this question has begun making it way around, I began to think about how Dumbledore would handle things?

PotterCast Live

Fri Jul 03 05:05:00 -0400 2009

Sometimes working for Leaky Cauldron has the most awesome benefits. Like when Pottercast Live is playing in Tulsa and you get to spend time with Melissa, John and Frak in person rather than just emails or notes on sites!

Tonight was so much fun seeing the Live Pottercast and the wizard rock. Fun and friends. All because of a simple series of books based on a young wizard named Harry Potter...

May 25th.. What.A.Night!

Mon May 11 21:29:00 -0400 2009

*rereads and makes a note to watch Mamma Mia a bit less*

But it was as that is the day hubby (Sir Dragon Preacher) and I were married. For the past few months, I had come up with the idea of doing an afghan for him with runes on it. Of course this never got past the idea stages as there was always a reason I didn't sit down to graph it out.

Until last weekend.

What Only Six Inches Can Do!

Thu Feb 19 06:54:00 -0500 2009

Okay okay, quit your snickering that's not what I mean but I figured it would get your attention.

The six inches I'm referring to is the six inches of hair that was bundled than cut from mine today and will be sent to an organization called "Locks of Love." This seems to be a small amount of hair when you consider that it was down to just below my waist when I went in to the beauty college i...

Life Goes On

Mon Feb 16 19:21:00 -0500 2009

Sometimes, just sometimes, the crafting desire or 'mojo' as one of my friends calls it just isn't there. Different reasons but often, going through unexpected events can just wipe out the urge to make something as your mind tries to deal with the events that are or have occurred.

Lately, I've found myself in that place as my husband and I were completely shocked to learn of the death of our f...

Long Time No See

Fri Jan 16 21:41:00 -0500 2009

Hi, long time no see ^_-

I was busy

Busy? *looks skeptical* Been gone long enough.

Yeah, well had things to do so...

So nothing, about time you got back here! *gets crafty glue gun and makes sure blog can't take off again*

Hey, that's not fair

*grins* Yeah, I know.

Ok, now that that's all settled, sorry for the disappearing act but as they say in television, we were interrupted for some technical ...

We Interrupt This Crafting for Real Life

Sat Nov 01 22:33:00 -0400 2008

*looks at date of last blog entry, groans*

Has it really been that long?

*holds hands up in protests*

Okay, okay it has.

*glares at Real Life*

Sometimes, the best ideas, plans and projects get shoved aside for 'Real Life" Kind of what happened to me for the past few weeks. Instead of major time with a crochet hook in my hands, I was offered an addition to my position at work which i...

Now That I'm Home...

Sun Aug 17 04:16:00 -0400 2008

When last we spoke, I was neck deep in craft projects to finish before Terminus... All mollys were completed and now in the hands of their owners -- including what might be the first and only Hufflepuff Molly Sweater! Tshirts were stenciled and distributed and worn. Even managed to begin and complete an afghan for a wedding that took place there. My son totally enjoyed himself at his first ...

A Whirlwind of Preparations

Sat Jul 26 23:43:00 -0400 2008

Yep, that's what it seems like is going through our home right now -- a whirlwind! Because I leave in six days for Virginia and then, on August 6th, leave there for Chicago and Terminus! This will be my second HP conference and I'm looking forward to this with excitement, longing, happiness and trepidation. I will see friends I made at Phoenix Rising and haven't seen since last May. I will ...

Where It Began.....

Wed Jul 09 03:17:00 -0400 2008

...... Was as a child growing up with my parents and also my grandmother (aka Nana) and my uncle who all lived with us together. Since both my parents had to work, I was fortunate to spend time at home with Nana. From her, I learned how to work jigsaw puzzles, loving to read and crocheting.

On Saturday evenings, we'd all drive to shop at Great Eastern Mills on Rt 46 Totowa and one of the t...
