Playing Catch-Up pgs 345 -371
OK so I'm needing to catch up since I took a day off to drive home from WI. (I had a wonderful time and didn't want to come back though) and you guys were a chatty bunch. I totally need a CRR.. but then I remind myself that's ME! LOL at least I'm the CRR reporter. I'm going to try and catch you up fast! so be ready for the whirlwind...must resist urge to comment on posts while doing the CRR
In case you didn't know there was a meet up in Milwaukee. it was a lot of fun! Sorry you missed it.
Curieuse is back and tempting us with lovely lovely dying! the babymaker er I mean Jedimeg is planning her days out. Lisakbye is sharing home remedies via video! and she is tempting us with a fun fun bedroom! (I wants one)
CS is feeling better which is good! we were all sending good vibes her way for her tooth pullage. (that's the technical term)
Does anyone else besides me want to live near jajigirl? She's sharing some yummy looking pancakes. derricksdoll went to a concert and shared a photo and some videos. KrazyQuilts is sharing a list about her stash.
The dragon ladies (did we ever find a better name) have started showing their dragon progress. The mallet of sanity has made an appearance again. trainergirl shared more than her dragon progress. I'm feeling undercrafty at the moment. Now the mallet has a song. (where's my song? I want a song! something catchy.)
Fantasyflyte shared her DADA progress. Spartyliblover is almost done with all the classes. WOW! Chris01 shared some OWL progress. (I'm almost at 50% with mine so I thought I'd catch y'all up). Lupingirl had a great trip and I'm loving her haul!

Meet Frick's new wheel! it's beautiful. CS is sharing her knowledge of spinning with us! and trying to make me buy another wheel..... and shared an AMAZING photo (2 really) that shows how much weight she's lost. She looks awesome! Then she shared a lovely roving she's thinking about spinning up for class. Frick's using her new wheel!

DADA: The Mirror of Erised
In*tro*spec*tion n. The act of examining one`s own thoughts, beliefs or feelings; looking into one`s own mind
See also navel-gazing; heart-searching; reflection; this month's DADA assigment.
Yes, boys and girls, this month the redoubtable Scarlettb has decided to get all metaphysical on us. For this month, you are to create a project that symbolizes your heart's innermost desire. So, think long and hard, and come up with the answer to this question: If you were offered the chance to have or be any one thing, what would you choose? (No fair asking for more wishes!)
Some of us would wish to have children; others would wish to have no financial worries; others would wish for health for themselves or a loved one. Still others have wishes to find a job that suits them. Others have wished to love and be loved. All answers are perfectly acceptable.
Maybe you find being introspective to be too intrusive-sharing your innermost thoughts and feelings can make you feel most vulnerable. If so, take heart, and like Dumbledore claim that you want handknit socks. After all, who can deny the pleasure that having warm tootsies can bring? Surely, armed with a new pair of chausettes, you will find the strength to surmount any obstacle!
Keep in mind that you need to make two objects for this assignment. Those who make things that come in pairs only need to make one pair, e.g. mittens, gloves, wristwarmers, socks. Elsewise you need the object and its reflection. Scarlettb has approved of doing 2 different singleton socks, but not of doing a sock WIP that you do not need to start at the beginning for.
If you need any help coming up with ideas to symbolize the desired for object, maybe the following can help:

I've got the hook up! pgs 293-324
I'm enjoying my vacation with the family and loving the time spent with my sister but I realize I need to not forget my job. I'm going to try and condense this one a bit... and then keep up better after that. I hope you don't mind.
So PennyIA thinks the jelly yarn is kinda scary. what do you think? Derricksdoll found some AWESOME thrift store finds. I can NEVER find such good stuff. never ever. Though I would be happy if the thrift stores out there change that.
CherrySprinkle is sharing some recipes. I fave'd the post so I can find it again. There was a movie night that I missed b/c we were on our way to WI. Andisocial shared her FO. i like that hat btw. Covington is looking to see if we can have some pride rivalry. Autumnleaf77 started a fun talk about Star Wars with just a small question. you can click the link to read it all by following the posts. PennyIA's son is an honorary Roaring Lion Badge carrier. What a brave guy! Frick flashed some beautiful yarn.
CS pointed out that Dawn dish soap does some good with their income. (i know i'm planning on buying some when i get home) OKC is starting her own little campaign for the oil spill clean up. follow her to see how and what is happening. CS is getting involved, I'm sure you can too! the baby sprinkle quilt top is finished. and i think birds would make it too busy CS. but that is my opinion. and I'll have you know that since I'm away from the sewing machine my sewing bug has not finished, I'm just resisting taking over my mom's sewing machine.....for now...
PennyIA the force is strong with you! I must resist the urge to make one (at least until we have a boy)
Lupingirl is killing us with cuteness! Then ya'll try to KILL me!
Fantasyflyte has some pretty finished socks. i love the color. Lupingirl showed us she's good at sewing not just knitting. does anyone but me want another little girl to sew for? Knitflix? It could happen! But maybe it should be called Knitstitx.or something like that. OKC is here with an update. DD's first ever doily and a doughnut! and I love her hair!!! Hey can you hook me up with hair like that?
There's a meet up in Milwaukee in just 3 days! and I'm sooo excited! if you're in the area and you want to come PM me!
ARUGH a Pirate! Will the baby boom challengers please stand up? it's Monday Night time for quidditch.
Siriusly is multilingual! Frick is progressing with the dragon! So is PennyIA. any other dragon ladies out there? show us your dragons people! Straayerliz that yarn is beautiful! FF found a portkey! (not sure if I spelled that right at all) Noonee has shared owl progress.
well that catches you up!
until next time gryffies! Remember I'm on vacation so don't be so chatty! and if you want in the CRR use a photo!
