This was SOME week...whew!

I am so happy that it's Friday! I have about a zillion pages to read this weekend, but I'm taking some time out to do some checking in with my spoilee's box o' surprises:

Bag? Check!
Yarn? Check!
Stitch Markers? Check!
Pattern? Um, almost decided, just down to final deliberations.
Needles? I was hoping for a hint (a hint, Lily, a HINT!) but I can always fall back on my own favorites to send.
And some extra goodies? Check!

I'm getting excited!

This week I'm off to a field trip to observe muggles at the beach for my Muggle Studies class -- I'm heading west, to San Diego, one of my favorite places on the planet, muggle-populated or not! Leaving early Tuesday, back late, late Friday night. How I'll ever catch up on my homework I'll never figure out...

Who's a tease?

Not me, I don't care what those Gryffindor boys say! Heehee...just kidding!!

A little preview of the bag I'm working on for my spoilee - I don't think I'm giving away too much, it will look dramatically different when it's ready to send!

It's not really that orangy-red in real life, I think it just looks that way because it's on that orangy-red table. It's much more crimson or cranberry-ish. Lily, dahling, are you excited!?

So fitting!

Hermione's always been my favorite HP character - smart, resourceful, and very, very caring. I take this as the highest form of compliment!
