House Cup

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!!!! The Headmistress just declared a tie between the Gryffindor and Ravenclaw houses for the House Cup!! I am so glad I was able to help my house (Ravenclaw) win this honor.

Absolutely Puzzled About the Clues From Winnie

I don't know where the Headmistress has been, but her clues are extremely confusing. All I can come up with is somewhere in Great Britain, probably around London. All the vague clues are hurting my head. With luck, someone will unearth the truth as to where our beloved headmistress has been and who took the trophy and where they hid it.

Miss Winnie's Latest Location

From where Professor Wartbobble's latest letter, I am going to guess that she is in Bethlehem. Other than that, I don't have mush of a guess.

Miss Winnie's Pilfered Prize

After consulting my teammates as to what was in the package Headmistress Winifred sent, I have come up with the following answer for the code she sent along with the package.

Stolen Quidditch World Cup Trophy

Here's hoping I'm right! It makes sense. But two questions remain: Who stole the cup, and why did they do it?

A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words

OMG!!!! OMG!!!! I made it to the newspaper! After doing a little showcase for some of the schools around town, someone put a picture in the newspaper. And of all the pictures taken, it was one of the Battle Scene with the sword fight between the Nutcracker Prince and the Rat King (me). Granted my back is to the camera, but I am in the newspaper!

Package Arrival!

My owl arrived today! I was in the middle of playing my trumpet when my little sister yelled that an owl was coming to our house at a great pace. I finished my song, and ran downstairs. Seeing a large box, I asked mom if I had to finish playing my instrument before I could open the package. After she said yes, I finished playing with gusto. Then, when the box was finally opened, Mom said to lay everything out from what looked like a very packed, large box. I did a kind of happy dance upon seeing what the box's contents were.




I got 3 skeins of Knit Picks yarn (Sky, Navy, and Bare), a Knitbook, with basics and beyond, a set of size 10 3/4 Brittany DPNs, size 13 Crystal Palace Yarn Bamboo circulars, stitch markers, and a pattern for a Shaded Shepherd's Sack. Also in the package were these knitted items.



To accompany the above items, Penelope sent me this little guy. He is a little glass frog to help inspire me with my stories.

We got a picture of all the stuff Penelope of Flitwick sent me. I absolutely love the kit.

The Muggle Sport of Soccer

Last night, my dad took us to the MLS cup. Major League Soccer is like Quidditch, except played on the ground and only with one ball. It took the teams FOREVER to make a goal. I guess that means they are pretty good. We left before the game ended because it went into overtime and we wanted to beat the crowd. When we left, the score was Los Angeles Galaxy : 1, Real Salt Lake : 1.

The game was not overly high action, but we had fun. They blew confetti into the air several times, and my brother and I would search overhead for the little sparklies to see if we could catch them. I caught one blue one, and the rest I found on the ground. I ended up with 3 blue pieces of confetti, 1 silver, and one green. It was a lot of fun and I am glad my dad was able to get the tickets.
