Oh no! 
That’s the worst! The next go round will be better.
@Abbeeroad, it really is! I wish I had caught her sticking her tongue out at me - so cute! There was a tiny baby snake at my barn door the other night, too. I tickled his little chin before shooing him into the grass.
@tendstowardschaos what a cutie! I’m so glad you were able to rescue her! 
Oh, and WELCOME!! 
@Noodle, I’m so sorry about your cardi. That sucks.

Your mitts are adorable! I’m not sure I’ve ever seen that stitch, but it has a lovely texture.
I love that shrug - what perfect, tiny knitting! Your beautiful doll looks like she could be a Weasley, too.

Class or Challenge Title: Quidditch - Preseason Training
House: Gryffindor!
Project Name & Page Link: Chocolicious Breakfast Bars
Brief Description: During the summer, I try to swim every day. The neighborhood pool is adults only lap time from 5:00-7:00, then the swim team takes over. Since I have a brief window between waking up and needing to be out of the water, and since my doctor ordered me to eat breakfast before exercising, I need something fast and portable in the mornings. Last month I made some oatmeal & zucchini breakfast bars, and finally ran out of them, so it was time to try a new breakfast bar recipe. This one called for butterscotch chips, but I couldn’t find any that were dairy free, so I just used mini chocolate chips instead, and for a flavor boost, I added some decaf instant coffee to the batter. They are quite tasty! And rather like eating cake for breakfast…

House: Hufflepuff
Project Name & Page Link: Chicken casserole
Brief Description: Trying to be better at cooking, Im always on the lookout for easy recipes, and when I found this I felt I should give it a try. Easy done, with just some garlic, curry, chiliflakes, chicken, chicken broth, tomatos and heavy cream. Mix and put in the oven. Since it is curry in, it turned yellow-ish, so I hope that would fit for the Quidditch preseason.
