My sincere apologies for not staying current in November...why on earth is it already November 23rd???  Sigh...well, here is a wrap-up for November thus far - Badgers, you are making us all proud!! :)

Thank you, Badgers, for all of your hard work with your homework!!!  You definitely make all of us proud!

Advanced Studies Update - OWLs

GothKnitty finished her History of Magic OWL. She knit a cardigan to join the Malfoys and the Weasleys and a cowl to represent Dumbledore. I was sceptical of the Malfoy/Weasley combo, but it actually is a great representation of both families. Yay for interhouse unity!

Knittingnearside finished four pairs of mittens and successfully completed her arithmancy OWL!

midwestalice completed an amazing star chart for her Astronomy OWL. Check it out!

Advanced Studies Update - OWLs

Sorry about my absence. I have been very sick and am just catching up now. I missed the 50% mark for my OWL, but I think I can still finish mine by the end of the month. There are a few Puffs that are NOT suffering from falling behind though and I would like to share their COMPLETED OWLS.

First up is Timeless1. She completed her Herbology OWL by spinning some bamboo fiber into cabled yarn.

cmjalisa completed her Charms OWL by knitting a Vernal Equinox Shawl. Her skills in "alohomora" are very evident!

LumosKP also completed her Charms OWL by knitting a large lace blanket, affectionately dubbed Jim and Joanne. Look how pretty!

banklady6 crocheted a lovely blanket for her Potions OWL. Her blankets are always magnificent and this Chain Reaction Afghan is no exception.

Aren't these projects beautiful?!?! Great job, ladies!

Class Coverage Wrap-Up for October!

Well, October is gone...precisely what happened to it remains a mystery to me!  Part of it was sucked up by my trip to Florida to celebrate DH's 50th birthday...which brings me to another mystery - when did I get old enough to have a 50-year-old husband?!  Ah, well...such is life!  And now, on to our Class Coverage!

As I missed out on reporting weekly for the last couple of weeks in October, I will be doing a summary this time around, reporting how many awesome Hufflepuffs submitted homework for each class!
