wizard wands and flirty skirts

The library had a wand making workshop. We went and made wands in honor of Harry Potter coming out. Well the kids made thiers but had no place to put them so got out my Charmed Knits book and made wand cozies for them. I don't have a pic of Mad's yet as I don't know where it's hiding.
Here's C's.While at the coast, I casted on this flirty skirt (pattern from LTK) but I didn't add the undersoaker.
I also knitted these owls. The pattern is from Practical Princess and they are really simple to follow and easy to knit up. Each one took only a day, full of interuptions of course. I don't like the eyes but the kids love them. C's is on the left and Mad's on the right. C named his Thunder, and Mad's is Owl. C was upset that his sister's is bigger then his, but I told him that the smaller the owl, the faster they fly, and he was content with that.
Here's M happily showing off the owls.
