Package Arrived















I received my package from Calliope Smythwyck Wednesday but for some reason I was unable to upload my picture. It was an amazing package. The bag that she made was one of her own designs and is really quite amazing. She also sent two sock patterns, Crazy 4 Dying Hufflepuff Pride sock yarn, lantern moon needles, a really neat owl mouse pad, lucky black cat note cards, a beautiful bookmark, two seashells, bath salts, snitch wing stitch markers, a Hermione key ring, and two "sock" point protectors.

Friday the 13th

I hope that everyone has had a good Friday the 13th because it happens to be one of my favorite days. I have never felt that it was an unlucky day personally. It kind of goes along with how I find black cats to be lucky yet white cats scare me quite a bit.
