Hedwig's Four Patch finish

I finished this great freebie from The Sampler Girl's website today just a couple of hours after my copy of the last Harry Potter book was delivered.

The pattern was modified by Mary Kathryn P. of CO and shown on the site. I used that modification and added "21" to the date (my finish date and the date last book was issued), the scar, and a cute broom charm I had.

The best part is I found the fabric hiding among some charts just yesterday. I pulled some likely GAST colors and went to town! This morning I browsed through my box of buttons and charms, looking for a JABC purple or even a black bat, when I found the broom charm (actually TWO broom charms!). Perfect! Now if I could only have figured out how to stitch a qwittich ball. ;)

What to stitch? What to stitch?

I find myself putzing (is that a real word?? LOL) along with my stitching. I have several things started [ahem! several dozen things started], but little interest in working on them. I have another Fanci That flower I could start: a daisy with a watermelon in the center. But, nah, no real interest in it. Same for a cute needlepoint I have.

I do have some very pretty new Charles Craft Aida-in-a-tube in a lagoon blue that would be fun to work on. Maybe I can find something new to do using that fabric while I sit outside tomorrow waiting for the postal carrier to bring my Harry Potter book! Now that sounds like a can-do plan!

I realized today that I hadn't read all the HP books so I googled Harry Potter book summary and got hits for some sites. I read two summaries (for books 5 and 6) during lunch today! Now I'm ready for the final book. I'm planning to drop everything to read the last installment in the saga. Maybe that's why I don't want to get involved in a xs project: I'll have to drop it to read HP.
