Which Harry Potter Character are you?

Pirate Monkey's Harry Potter Personality Quiz
Harry Potter Personality Quiz
by Pirate Monkeys Inc.

Explanation of the Results:
This type of personality test uses four indexes of personality and the combination of the four is your personality type.
The first index relates to how you interact with other people and can be Extroverted (E), meaning you're more outgoing or Introverted (I), meaning you keep more to yourself.
The second relates to how you make decisions; whether you're Intuitive (N), getting answers from within, or you rely on Sensing (S) information from your surroundings, using your five senses.
The third relates to whether you're more emotional and Feeling (F) or rational and Thinking (T).
The fourth relates to whether you prefer things to be organized, meaning you're Judging (J), or you prefer things to be more unbound, meaning you're Perceiving (P).

Last week...

....2 postcards arrived at my place!
(I couldn't get the scanner to work properly, that is why I couldn't show them off earlier)
Wow, my Project Spectrum Postcardswap-Pal Sue is such a gem!
She made me 2 postcards!!!!
One with a laundry-line with 4 shirts on it (Sue writes: "I put four shirts on the line, one for you and each of your sweet daughters.")
She also asked me to excuse her artistic skill and i can't help, but wondering what i should excuse here.
Sue, this is so gorgeous and I am thrilled to have you as my swap-pal!

But y'all, look for yourself:

The dots are the wind blowing through the laundry and giving it a fresh scent.

And the second one?
Sue took the time to make a real "Project Spectrum"-Postcard for me! It is fabulous and I was so surprised to find it in my mailbox. Look what is floating out of the vase.....can you see it? Yes, the colours yellow and orange (and the word for yellow in German: gelb)

Wow, i am amazed!
Thank you ever so much, Sue!


Your card is already on it's way! I hope it will arrive soon!

Pomatomus-

socks are finished!
I have had so much fun knitting them, although I had to follow my own way again on the heel.
I only cast on 60 stitches, 72 would have been far too much for my daughter Donna's skinny legs...lol


socken sind fertig.
Ich hatte sehr viel Spaß beim Stricken, obwohl ich wieder einmal meinen eigenen Weg gehen musste bei der Ferse.
Ich habe nur 60 Maschen angeschlagen, da 72 viel zu viele gewesen wären für die "schlanken" Beine meiner Tochter Donna....*gg*

Und eine Nahaufnahme/ And a closeup-shot

not the best of shots, but somehow this camera does not like me... :-(

What Is Your Life Path Number?




Your Life Path Number is 7



Your purpose in life is to find truth and meaning

You are very spiritual, and you are interested in the mysteries of life.

You are quite analytical and a great thinker. You have many theories and insights.

A life of solitude is perfect for you. You need time to think and do things your way.

In love, you are quite charming. You attract many with your confidence and wit.

While you enjoy being alone, sometimes you take it to an extreme.

You can become too isolated, shutting out loved ones and friends.

Express yourself a little bit more, and you'll be surprised where it takes you!

Fresh off the needles...


.... are these socks for a friend!
I am glad I finished them and I will certainly do this pattern again!

Let's hope she likes them as much as I do!

Frühlings-Gruß-Überraschungs-Socken


für meine Ma sind schon seit letztem Donnerstag (6.4.) fertig und wärmen die Füße meiner Ma seit Mittwoch (12.4.). Hab sie mit der Post geschickt (ICH DEPP!) und die haben ewig gedauert, trotz Überfrankierung und der Tatsache, daß wir ja in derselben Stadt wohnen!
Hätt ich das gewußt, hätt ich eine meiner Töchter als Boten geschickt! DOOF!



Spring-Greets-Surprise-Socks for my Mum have been finished since last Thursday (April 6) and are warming my Mum's feet since Wednesday (April 12).
I have posted them (FOOL->ME!) and they took for ages to get to her, although I put more stamps on then needed. We live in the same town, so they should have arrived much earlier!
If I would have known this, I would have sent one of my daughters to deliver them! STUPID!

Alle meine Eierlein...

...tummeln sich im blog, tummeln sich im blog.
Werden schön gefärbt sein, bis Ostern ganz bestimmt!

Image hosting by Photobucket

Nachtrag: Da ich mir schon dachte, daß diese Eier irgendwann mal ablaufen, habe ich mir (Schlaufuchs, ich!) einen Screenshot von den fertigen Eiern gemacht und nun hier eingestellt.
So nun habe ich für immer die Eier....*freu*

P.S.: Wer mag, darf sich die Eier gerne mitnehmen
(sprich: speichere auf deine Festplatte, bearbeite sie in deinem Bildprogramm
und lade sie dann in deinen Blog)

Got the blues.....

.....the terrible blues.
While it is snowing again, I got the stupid winter-blues.
I want sun, flowers, birds singing and warmth!

It is April, for goodness sake!
I don't want to be cold and miserable anymore!
I want to walk in the sun without having to wear a jacket!
I want to smile at people without having them look at me as if I'm insane!
I want spring spring spring!!!!!

Anyone out there?
Does anyone love me?
Does anyone care?

Oh silly me, I got the blues!

Eins, zwei, drei...


....kleine Wichtelei!
Als Osterwichtel für den Häkelclub habe ich ein Häkeldeckchen gefertigt
und ein nadelgefilztes Häschen im kirchlichen Osterbazar erworben.

One, two, three...
a little present for thee!
I made a crocheted Doily for a friend in the Crochetclub
and bought a little needlefelted Bunny at the Bazaar in church.

HELP!!! Would someone fill me in?

Hi there,
I need some advice and someone to fill me in.
Is this true?
Opal-sockyarn is very expensive in the U.S. of Amerika?

And if I decide to send some of it to someone really nice and lovable, how would I declare it?
Is it sufficient to write "As gift" on it?
And does it help to put a "Air mail"-Sticker on the parcel?

OOOOOOH, this is really bugging me.....would someone please help me out?
Thanks in advance!

Meine liebe Wollprinzessin...

....Svenja hat heute endlich ihr Abschlussgeschenk erhalten.
Sie hat sich auch schon im blog gemeldet und sich sehr gefreut.
Menschenskinder, wat hab ich gelitten. Den ganzen Tag kreisten die Gedanken nur darum, ob er/sie/es ihr gefällt und wie sie reagiert. Meine kids habe ich wohl halb in den Wahnsinn getrieben, weil ich alle 5 (!) Minuten vor mich hingemurmelt habe und wohl mindestens 100 Mal (!) die GLS-Sendeverfolgung aufgerufen habe.
Aber nun geht es mir absolut gut! Absolut wunderbar!
Aber lest doch selbst bei ihr nach, wie das Geschenk angekommen ist:
Verflixtes Wollknäuel-Svenja

Ich hab mir bei ihr ein Foto geliehen, sie hat das Geschenk so hübsch arrangiert (ich hoffe das ist okay, liebste Prinzessin?), schaut mal ->



My Woolprincess Svenja has received her last present today and seemed very happy about it. I am happy too now and just wanted to share the photos and the joy with you.


und so sah es bei mir (mit Wollfee-helferlein) beim Spannen aus:

der Schal hat 20 Mustersatz-wiederholungen und mißt im "Spannungszustand" 190 cm.

Gestrickt habe ich ihn aus einem Merino-Poly-Gemisch (60 zu 40), das beim Waschen aber sehr sehr schafig gerochen hat, also vermute ich, daß die Angabe der Mischverhältnisse nicht sehr genau ist.

Jetzt bin ich sehr sehr froh und kann in Ruhe und Zufriedenheit schlafen gehen.

Ich werde auf jeden Fall mit Wollprinzessin und Wollfee in Kontakt bleiben, die beiden haben mein Leben um einiges reicher gemacht und ein großes Stück von meinem Herzen eingenommen.

Ich danke hiermit den Organisatorinnen Luna und Cleo für diese wunderschöne Aktion und hoffe, es wird bald eine Fortsetzung geben! Da bin ich dann auch wieder dabei!

In der Zwischenzeit habe ich mich beim SecretPal 8 angemeldet.....hihihi....und beim Pomatomus-Challenge bin ich nun auch dabei!

A new and fresh design...

....for the month of Yellow/Orange at "Project Spectrum".

It is rather fresh and makes me feel "springy".
What do you think?
