Quietish

Dude, click this image and read. Go ahead. I’ll wait.

I know, crazy right? I got a letter from J. K. Rowling. I can’t even believe it. I got it Friday before my trip to “camp” with the Flemings, so I’ve had a few days to cool down. A little. Wow. Wow.

Here’s what I made. (This is the sooper sekrit Crafty Witch Project tm previously mentioned here and here.)

Hi all,

This is Rosemary, aka Quietish on the Leaky Lounge. I, along with my
fellow Crafty Witches, would like to invite you to join us for The
Leaky Cauldron’s first ever Craft-Along!

Starting in May, Leaky Crafts will be hosting a new Craft-Along every
other month in the Harry Potter Crafts forum on the Leaky Lounge.
There is a special forum where members can participate in the
Craft-Along and share with others, here:
http://www.leakylounge.com/Contests-and-Craft-Alongs-f304.html

We begin May 1st and our first project will be to make our own wands,
following a tutorial for a simple wand, with a few options.

I hope you all will grab your supplies and craft-along with us. Check
out the Crafts Feature page on The Leaky Cauldron for more information.

Cheers,
Rosemary

I was lying in bed this morning, glasses off, when Jamie burst into tears and begged me to show her how to draw a Moogle. She had decided it was too hard and gave up drawing one on her own. So I rolled over and sketched it with a ballpoint pen. She thought I should share it.

I finally have my very own Chudley Cannons afghan, and I’m soooooo happy. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU, Amber for this very special gift. I shall cherish it forever. <3 <3 <3

While I’m here I’ll share the reason I didn’t get much knitting done yesterday.

Hey, all. I’m around, and owe you an update. Although I should point out that one could better keep track of me on Twitter (where my user name is Quietish, of course), as I can post small updates from my phone where ever I am at the time.

Letsee.. Justin is going out of town again tomorrow, this time to Anchorage, Alaska. While I’m not pleased about this, Justin’s happy dancing all over the place. He keeps it to a minimum when I’m around, though.

I’ve been keeping busy on the crafty front. My main project for the time being is to make a series of Harry Potter themed gifties for my fellow Crafty Witches, all of whom have been so kind and generous to me. I feel it is time to repay the kindness. No pics though, teehee. Naughty Crafties!

Speaking of the Crafty Witches. Check out the news article on Leaky News about an upcoming feature to Leaky Crafts. Craft-Alongs! My primary job is now preparing and hosting Craft-Alongs every other months (and coming soon, seasonal Crafty Contests) on Leaky and the Leaky Lounge. Please feel free to join us starting May 1st. If you’re not already a member on the Lounge, it’s easy to register an account. Our project for May is a simple wand with some fun customizations.

I’m off again, zooooom.

Where have I been?

I’ll spare you the usual “I’m lame and I haven’t updated” excuses to jump right into a bit of finished knitting.

I made Wicked over the last coupla weeks.

It rocks. I may make it again with the longer sleeves. Or perhaps I’ll do the laceweight version. But not before I finish a bunch of gifts for the Crafty Witches.

So anyway, proof I am alive. That (pretty bad) pic was taken today. You can click through for another one, which is even worse. The camera battery was dying.

Love y’all.

Beeyootiful.
