HLBOES package heading out

Well my package to Madam Jak should be heading out tomorrow. So I am really glad about that. It was really fun making her hat for this package and getting everything together.

HSKS 7

Well we got our swap partners for HSKS 7 and I am spoiling Madam Ferula Finnegan. It should be fun. I am really looking forward to things picking up.

Well I got my sister's Zombie socks done before her birthday which is on Sunday, so I won't have to give her one sock and have to make her wait for the second.

HLBOES Partners are out

It's the new year and our swap partners are out. I will be sending to Madame Hooch of Gryffindor. i think that this swap will be a lot of fun because it will be the first one that doesn't involve socks in any way (even though I love making socks). This time I get to make a hat for my partner rather than a bag which is something that I love to do as well since socks and hats are what I make most of the time.
