| Snazzy new layout |
Ah, I found an acceptable color scheme :3 For now the header image will do. After this weekend I'll make a new header in Photoshop or something, because it's going to bug me that the image doesn't fit. TAKE THAT BLOGGER! I can't wait to get my spoilee so I can get started on my package for this term! I'm so so so excited that we can have the option of hoping for mitt kits! I'm kinda sorta a fingerless gloves/mittens whore.
I pulled out my yarn to start my Endpaper Mitts today. I've almost started the pattern six times, but every time I find a reason to put the pattern away for a rainy day and another one of my eight million projects takes priority. I am determined to make them. Slytherpuff style, in awesome green and yellow!!
I meant to go to the LYS today, but I never got around to it D: Work kept me too late. Oh well, at least I'm officially in Slytherin for this term! (Not that I had much doubt of where I'd be, I sent Orpheus off with my student information as soon as the sign up times started, he has excellent agility)

Hey Peneolope!
Here's to another great term! Let's plot for roommates again, and get Verity in on it too! I am planning the endpaper mitts with the yarn you sent me last term...though the dragon scale ones are taking me quite a while!

| Wish List |
In no particular order, a list of trivial and non-trivial things that make me happy, none of which you need to get me, but I hope you get some ideas from the list:
- Knit Picks Options Nickel plated needles size 8
- Knit Picks Nickel Plated circular needles
- Tea; I love sweet teas like chamomille, earl grey, ginger, etc
- Pens; I like cool pens, I don't know why, I just do. I steal all of the good ones from the office I work at haha!
- ANYTHING DISNEY. Especially Alice in Wonderland (specifically Alice, Mad Hatter, or Cheshire Cat); Beauty and the Beast; Little Mermaid; Sleeping Beauty; Cars; Wall-E; Eeyore or Tigger
- Anything VINTAGE, especially from the 40s and 50s.
- Anything to do with Audrey Hepburn, the woman is my idol!! Breakfast at Tiffany's is quite possibly the best movie ever made!
- Penguins, Elephants, Otters, Badgers, Snakes, and Lions make me happy
- I love patterns. Plaid, polka dots, vintage victorian flowery patterns, stripes, etc
- Imagination sock yarn. [ unicorn, mermaid lagoon, pixie dust ]
- Jewelry. Whether it's handmade, or from a place like Claires. I love to accessorize! I love necklaces with small and large pendants, especially Fleur de lis, Elephants, Birds (Owls, Sparrows), and Skeleton Keys
- Photography. I'm a huuuuuuge fan of photography. I love stock photos.
- Art! I love art as much as I love photography! You can see my DeviantART page to get a feel for the sort of styles I like!
- Anything cute that has to do with sushi! I collect chopsticks :3
- Anything to do with Pirates! ARRR!!
- Music! I love discovering new music! Make me a mix CD and I will love you! Right now I'm in a moody girl music mood. I have a playlist with Taylor Swift, Erin Mccarley, and Demi Lovato. If you want to know what's in my iTunes, just ask!
- Stationary / Stock / Matte cards
- Nailpolish!
- Bodywash / Hand lotions / Perfumes / Loufas / etc
- Anything to do with the seasons. Winter and fall are my favorites, but I love having random things about them all!
