Ravenclaw hw!

1- A fellow classmate never lets you speak in a conversation. What incantation do you mutter under your breath? What happens to your classmate when you say the incantation?
Ducto moutho! duck tape appears across their mouth, I feel its an effective spell lol
2- You’ve just entered a Muggle city in complete wizard clothing and a restroom cannot be found to change out of your outfit. What charm or spell do you say to change what you are wearing?
presto chango!
3- You are riding a bicycle along on a country road and suddenly notice your tire is flat and needs air. What spell do you perform to give your tire air?
wingardium leviosa! (ill be riding on air lol)
4- You are reading a valuable and one-of-a-kind book, and, quite unusually, you’ve left your quills and parchment in the dorm. You only have your wand for assistance. Create a spell for highlighting or remembering the important pieces of text without harming the book.
emblazio! it will highlight the text in a nice light (great for when you are in dark rooms)
Muggle Studies: Write a small paragraph about the following objects. What are they used for? Do you have any personal experience with them?
The first object is a steam presser. I think the muggles use it to flatten things. I have never used such an object but I have heard they find it very useful in their day to day lives. The second object is a grass smoosher or so I gather from the picture. They use it to kill grass, who knows why they are so distructive to mother earth. The third object is used to cut the tops off of cans. We have one at home and while I have never used it without magic I do find it to be a useful object. The final object looks like a weapon. I am sure we could use it at home to take care of the garden gnome problem.

Magical Clubs and Associations: Use your creativity to tell us what the following clubs/associations are based on their acronyms. Is the club/association open to all? Members only? Requirements to belong? Have some creative and clever fun with this. Elaborate as you wish!
1- The HAGS association This group is founded by an older witch named Agatha (nicknamed Hagatha for her less than stellar looks) She wanted older witches to have a group to which they could belong. It's primarily made up of unattractive ladies.
2- The club of SQUEALers This is the piglet cheerleading squad. Once a year they hold tryouts for enchanted pigs to join this elite squad. Only the best and brightest piglets can join and cheer for the Hogs, a local quidditch team.
3- The THE club The TRUE HERO ELITE club or THE Club is a group of witches and wizards who gather together at conventions dressed as their favorite hero from folklore. It's like the muggles version of a scifi convention. Anyone can join as long as you are a hero at heart (or at least a side-kick)
4- The association of FIRE and ICE This is a very old association begun by witches and wizards who enjoyed being burned at the stake because of the tickle from the freezing flame. While witches and wizards are no longer burned at the stake this old group continues to meet several times a year to discuss the most advanced in fire and ice spells. Only the best and the brightest of our time are accepted as members.

RAOK!!!!

Bob and I got home from the dogpark and found the most amazing present in the mailbox today! It was from Bevin Rae Mooney! Look at that gorgeous stationary she used.

She sent me so many awesome goodies, like the Buddah paper clip. I love it, its so cute and will be put to use immediately organizing yoga papers! :)

She sent me some really pretty blue and bronze beads to make my own stitch markers or earrings. I can't wait to use them, they will be so much fun!

The she sent me a variety of teas! I am drinking the raspberry tea now and it is delicious. I haven't tried the others yet but I'm excited because I love tea.

She handknit this gorgeous soft cotton cloth. I'm sure it will be put to good use. I do love handknit cloths, I have one in the kitchen right now lol. :)

Above you will see the amazing prize I got from HSKS6. Some yummy yarn and chocolate. I do love my sock yarn! Thanks Neila I was soooo excited to get it in the mail! You are the best. :)

This is sock one of the Marlene socks from Cookie A in the Knit1 mag. They have turned out pretty awesome if I do say so myself which I do, lol. I can't wait to finish the second one so I can wear them! Not that this has stopped me I finished this sock today and am wearing it (just the one sock) around the house. :) Below is a rare glimpse of my kitty and puppy hanging out together. If they knew I had this picture they would probably kill me and burn all photographic evidence. ;)
