Busy Times in the Attyc

Our house runs rampant this week ... material, sequins, doodads, you name it. Four munchkins who all dance! Among the chaos is the occasional taking on of a friend's munchkin for the day ... thankfully this is a non-calendared day and we are FREE to do as we wish. So, the munchkins are running amok and visiting the forest today ... wonder if they'll find pixies?

In the meantime, I am the lucky one catching up on wayward house chores.

Gryphon the Great and I were concocting plans for our kits the other day and he is nearly ready to post via owl ... I, on the other hand, am having a tough time and not really sure what to do (as I've given most of my ideas to The Great!

On the plus side, my sister checked in on our blogs and she fell in love with G'Whimzy ... she's wanting a dragon now, too. So, Gryphon and I are working together to develop one for her. We shall see how things develop. But, first, I have to pull him away from the tempting depths of the forest!

What I Like About You (Ravelry projects) ...

Well, to finish up this week's assignments, here are the projects I like and have commented on for my spoiler and spoilee ...

My Spoilee is Lizzie Wychwood/Wychwoodlady and I totally love her Gillweed Hat and Brae Mini Sock. I'm hoping to dig around and get patterns to make the hat for my daughter's baby doll and the sock for ... well ... me!

My Spoiler is Rowena Weasley/Rew and I think she did a fantastic job on her Ravenclaw satchel/bag. I have not yet learned how to do bags and am thinking it's something I need to learn to do! She did a beautiful job on it ... good graph work, I think.

Erumpents Rule! Yeah!

Cabin assignment is in hand and I've picked out my bottom bunk away from the bathroom and the front door of the cabin ... near the window ... trunk is in place and G'Whymzy and I are raring to go ... heading off to breakfast with Gryphon the Great ... apparently our cabin mates are still sleeping.

I already blasted a tune on my trumpet ... which I took away from Gryphon ... to spread the joy of Erumpents!

Gryphon the Great and I are packed!


This is so very exciting. This is the first year my son and I have done stuff like this together. I can't wait to get started on our workshops and to find out what we're going to be doing. This is going to be a fantastic summer!
This little dragon and I are armed with our needles. Just need to find the right yarn for just the right project! My little dragon's name is G'Whymzy and she's armed with her needles and ready to go!

Packing for Camp

Okay ... my needles are stashed, ends down, and the yarn is in a sack ... I'm ready.
