Update

So things have been interesting. I've finished a pretty good amount of projects and that's made me happy, but it's all because of the Harry Potter Knit and Crochet House Cup (HPKCHC) on Ravelry.

I have no finished my shawl yet...that kinda went on hold after the sorting and new classes for HPKCHC.

I was sorted into Slytherin! And I'm also on the Quidditch team as a beater! It's all very exciting.
Here is what I've been working on!

For Ancient Runes I'm working on a Rose filet.

For Charms I'm working on Quetish's House Crest bag (in slytherin colors of course)

For Herbology I made a super cute mandrake with an Ipod!

I made a really neat hat for Arithmancy (fibonacci sequence anyone???)

A washcloth with a Dalek on it for Muggle studies.

And a sweet hat that I can stick my ponytail out of for Defense Against the Dark Arts

And...I have also started an OWL. This is a 3 month long project. Hopefully I will be able to get cracking at this soon.

Other than all that crazy stuff things are going well.

Lauren finished her sweater! I have been mentoring her while she is learning the Mattress stitch (i think that's the name...invisible stitch up the side of a sweater?) And she did a great job! Here's a picture of her with her sweater! (now that it's finally getting warm outside...she just needs to add some kewl buttons.)

And...I lied...there is more...

I had an allergy test today. This is what my arm looked like 30 min after the test was finished...it's all shiny from the lotion they used to help make the itching go away.

I have found out that I am allergic to grass, weeds and TREE POLLEN! all the spots on the top row that are big are from tree pollen. The largest one on the right is from Birch trees. I now understand why I was so miserable. (thank goodness we too our birch down this last weekend)

I also got some shoes from this great Lady named Bobbi from HPKCHC. She gave them to me just because they didn't fit her feet and they do fit mine. She will be getting some yummy yarn in the mail soon!

pink isn't usually my color, but these are super sexy shoes and they will get some use!

That's all for now!
