Catching up with things...

[dragonsinger]

Well I've been meaning to post all this and planned last Friday to update but my internet went down and couldn't be fixed till Monday night.  But finally, here it is.

Firstly, I had promised some photos of awesome squeemail received and here they are.

From jennbrad52 , the most wonderfully warm and comfy pair of crocheted Maryjane slippers which I wear all the time at home.



The same day, I also received a package from scowling_hermit that contained the gorgeous painting she did of a water dragon (my own Nessie picture :) ) and the awesome Halloween banner.



Also, hardhatcat and I did a personal Twilight Trade and her package arrived full of fabulous goodies   A paperpieced Twilight Bag, Twi stationary, Twi Journal all made by her.  Bookmarks, stickers and some LaPush beach fabric.  An Australia pencil set as well as Liquorice Bullets (mmmmmmm  and think chocolate Good & Plenty!), Allsorts (which can be gotten in the US just not where I live) and Tim Tams and yes, I've done my first Tim Tam Slam.  Oh and ofenjen ?  The new Target in Ft. Smith does not have TimTams :(   She also included a book of dog sweater patterns with a cute set of knitting needles (little dogs on top)





Thank you all for the wonderful squeeness!!!

I've been getting some crochet done...  107 of 200 mini cauldrons done for the OKC Yule Ball... here's 50 of them



A Molly Sweater that Accio_lily on Leaky Cauldron has been waiting for for months!



Several 12" blocks in a CAL I'm in on Ravelry that will become an afghan for my bedroom and a Team Edward Tote that is the prize for the newest twilight_crafts  challenge

And my squeemail this wee was my copy of The Tales of Beedle the Bard that I won on friday (just before the internet died) at Hogshead.org!.  However, I have yet to read it as dear hubby grabbed it last night and hasn't finished yet.

Tonight we're going out.  The place we went to on Halloween has the same group coming back for "Celtic Christmas Night' and we're going to it for a while.  Weekend is mostly just relaxing at home and crafting. 

Also spent time updateing my pages on Ravelry, Cut Out and Keep and Deviant Art as well as MyCraftivity.com  I was rather excited when my internet came back on to see that one of my projecs on Cut Out and Keep is in the top 20!  Which is my pizza recipe that I've made since my kids were in school and they love.

Currently been catching up on getting some Molly Sleeves made for other Mollys that are being waited on and the mini cauldrons as well as the other pieces for Mollys.   Also, mailed out my cards for hardhatcat 's recipe swap this morning at the post office.

Still have to up date on the Metallica concert that was just fantastic!  But now its time to get ready to go out.

Oh, wonderful. Do you think you could make me a cauldron and send it my way? I will love you long time.

Love Sonia :)

[dragonsinger954.livejournal.com]

[sbrande.livejournal.com]

Thanks babe. On return I can send you a copy of Twilight on DVD if you wish it.

Love Sonia :)

[dragonsinger954.livejournal.com]

Oh my!!!!!!!!!!! :) I haven't been able to go see it at all so that would be awesome

[sbrande.livejournal.com]

It may take a while to get from Australia but I promise that I shall send it come Monday (it is Sat. afternoon here)

Just send me your address... Or better yet, I shall PM or IM you now.

love Sonia :)

Yay for squee mail and HOLY COW that's a lot of cauldrons! What else could one expect from you, o prolific crocheting one? Just out of curiosity, how many Mollys are on your list right now?

Congrats on the top 20 on cut out + keep. I do love that website!

Pooh on no Tim Tams at your Target! My sis said that last she was in the closest store here, they were sold out. Apparently word of their chocolaty goodness has spread!

[dragonsinger954.livejournal.com]

18 to do or in progress currently on my list... about 27 or so done

Ours wasn't sold out just don't stock them

[ofenjen.livejournal.com]

Not fair, just not fair, not stocking the Tim Tams!

Boy, if anyone ever got their money's worth out of a pattern (and is walking advertisement to the fact that it's a GREAT pattern), it's you. I'm am ridiculously pleased to have Molly #2...and it's finally cold enough to break out again.

[dragonsinger954.livejournal.com]

Glad you like yours...

And actually there's 19 on the list cause I have to make myself another one as Molly #1 became tooooo big on me so I gave it away at the end of Terminus.

[ofenjen.livejournal.com]

That's a great reason to have to make a new one! I hope you haven't put yourself at the bottom of the list. Will your new one be the same colors? I know you were thinking about doing a gothy one a while back.

[dragonsinger954.livejournal.com]

Oh, make that 20 then cause yes, I still want to do the black and red one as well. Not sure if new one will be lavender again or not.

[ofenjen.livejournal.com]

Oops, didn't mean to up your numbers again! I do think that'll look super cool when you get to it. :)

TIM TAMS OMG-----tease-----

[dragonsinger954.livejournal.com]

Hehehe... I managed to have 5... Hubby discovered them as well and loved them :)

[droxy.livejournal.com]

You forgot to HIDE them!! LOL Did you forget your concealment charms?

[dragonsinger954.livejournal.com]

No... shared with him. After all, he did send me to see Metallica..

... and apparently, chocolate is no longer my friend. Don't sit well for me after eating :(

[scowling-hermit.livejournal.com]

Great goodies...and those little cauldrons are so cute. :D

[dragonsinger954.livejournal.com]

Thanks

Your art is always so amazing and to have the water dragon just is sooooooo exciting to me :) I just discovered your Unicorn Alphabet yesterday! Can't wait to see the additional letters as they come out.

[shouldknobetter.livejournal.com]

You have been so busy! They all look great!

[dragonsinger954.livejournal.com]

Thanks :D

[hak42.livejournal.com]

Those cauldrons are awesome! I think I may need to make myself one. :)

Yay squee mail!

I'm going to get sucked into the 2009 12" block CAL. I think I have decided on a color scheme. Now I just need to finish my first afghan, so I won't have that hanging over my head in '09!

[dragonsinger954.livejournal.com]

My pattern for them will be on Leaky shortly :)

the 2008 CAL was fun... I'm in the 2009 as well and thinking of just letting the blocks add up to make a bedspread out of it

[hak42.livejournal.com]

Yay pattern!

Yeah, I think I'm going to go huge with the 2009 CAL too. Do the Crafster and Ravelry 12" blocks and 4 of each of the 6" blocks to make a 12" square. Of course, that's the plan at the moment and it may change at any time. ;)

ALL WAY COOL!!!

[miss-sophia.livejournal.com]

Those mini cauldrons are adorable!

[dragonsinger954.livejournal.com]

Thanks :)
