Summer Camp Games #3 Boggarts!

A Boggart attacked me at summer camp today. So frightening when he revealed himself in the form of:

The Grim!

I almost couldn't contain myself but finally managed to wave my wand and shout Ridikkulus!

At last the horrifying Grim Reaper turned into nothing but a cute little Grim Reaper amigurumi! Here is another shot so you can see compared to a quarter just how small this adorable Grim Reaper is.

Who said what?!? Summer camp games part 2

When in doubt go to the library.

Summer Camp Games #2

In the second volume of the HP books by JK Rowling, The (#1)Chrome Cab Festers {Chamber of Secrets}, we continue to learn the incredible adventures of Hogwarts student (#2) Parry He Trot {Harry Potter} and his friends (#3) Oral Weensy {Ron Weasley} and (#4)Angering Her More {Hermione Granger}. Belonging to the house of (#5) Dry Off Grin {Gryffindor}, they attend Defense Against the (#6) Ark Darts {Dark Arts} taught by Wizarding celebrity (#7) Oracle Dorky Light {Gilderoy Lockhart}, a none-too-bright fellow who cannot even handle pixies!

In The (#8) Chrome Cab Festers {Chamber of Secrets}, we also meet Dobby a (#9)See Flu Oh {House Elf} for the first time. Determined Dobby seeks to sabotage the return of (#10) Parry He Trot {Harry Potter} to Hogwarts and is pretty persistent but is unsuccessful. After a few weeks at school, the deceased Ravenclaw student who haunts the girls lavatory, also known as (#11) My Molten Grain {Moaning Myrtle}, shows (#12) Parry He Trot {Harry Potter} and (#13) Oral Weensy {Ron Weasley} an old empty diary that dropped through her ghostly form out of thin air!

Many nifty things continue to happen for the next several months… we won’t go into all the juicy details right now… however, the ending is prime reading indeed!! (#14) Parry He Trot {Harry Potter} finally kills Tom Riddle’s (a.k.a #15Mold Voter {Voldemort}) sneaky diary (which we now know is a #16 Crux Rho {Horcrux}) and saves the sister of (#17) Oral Weensy {Ron Weasley}, (#18) Gayly Nine Sew {Ginny Weasley}!!!

Oh! Of course, we must mention that the thickheaded (#19) Oracle Dorky Light {Gilderoy Lockhart} unintentionally erased his own memory, so he won’t be back for book three, The (#20) Snob In A Froze Parka {Prisoner of Azkaban}…

Week two at camp

What a week this has been. Did I even sleep at all? I don't think so. Since tomorrow is Saturday I solemnly swear to turn off all muggle alarms, cast a do not disturb hex around my bed and sleep until I'm no longer tired. If that means I sleep 13 hours, then so be it!

Then the rest of Saturday (if there is any time spent not sleeping), I will spend time finishing knitting some hand towels for my muggle father's birthday.

HSKS8 Week 1 Activity Part 3

Get to know your spoiler and spoilee

There are some fantastic patterns in both my spoiler's and spoilee's projects. 

My spoiler, Megaera Black, RavID nosheep4chelle, has some really great items to show off. Her socks make me really want to hurry and learn how to make some for myself! She is a fan of house hippos! I just love those cute little darlings. She also is home to several adorable owls. Of course, her paw washcloth is going on my list of to-do items. I know the perfect recipient for just such a paw.

My spoilee, Quietous, RavID SeverusSnape, has some really inspiring projects going on. I MUST have a season 12 Dr. Who scarf. How have I made is so far in life without the perfect item to finish off my wardrobe? I'm also going to have to keep tabs on her projects to see how her Sharaz Jek mask goes. And if you have not looked at her projects, you should check them out if only to see her cute dog sweater model!

Favorite Summer Camp Activity

Wow the days have been packed full of fun entertainment. But so far the best has to be when we went down to the bottom of the lake to visit the merpeople. They were not at all happy to see us until we knitted them head wraps and leg warmers out of gillyweed!

HKSK8 Summer Camp Week 1 Activity

Part 1: What's in Your Trunk

Intarsia brought:

1) Invisibility cloak --don't ask how I got this

2) Intermediate Transfiguration book

3) Ibex --ok a little explanation. See item above. This did not start out as an Ibex. It was really my toothbrush and I accidentally performed a transfiguration on it. I like it better this way, but now I can't brush my teeth >.<

4) Ibuprofen --because sometimes I prefer muggle remedies. What can I say, I grew up around muggles!

5) Ignatia Wildsmith Chocolate Frog Card --she invented floo powder! How cool is that?!

6) Instant Darkness Powder (the Peruvian kind from Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes)

7) Ink (self correcting) & parchment

8) Iguana --one can never have too many pets!

9) Ice tea --its actually kind of warm now, but it was ice tea earlier!

10) Icord --I have about 12 meters of it now. You just never can have enough Icord. You never know when you'll need it!

11) Ingredients for potions! (ok thought of this after coming up with the other 10, but it is so vital that I had to add it too)

Does anyone have any grass? My ibex is hungry.
