I want to eat those artichokes sooo badly. They look delish!

I'm also debating putting in an owl as it is something I would really like to do and could use some cheering along. I'm waiting until I'm done sponsoring someone at work to make my final decision though!

@Foxy Sam: Just saw your Travel Teddies on facebook as a Craftster's pick....CONGRATS!

@Abbee: love, love, love the personalized cross-stitches...fab gift idea that I must remember!  Perfect Apparition project.  And YUM!  I just want to eat those artichokes up!   ....oh, and I am planning my lionalong pieces now

Thanks Pinkleo!  I was very excited  

I have never had artichokes but they look delicious the way you have made them Abbee!  

The family cross stitch is a great idea...how cool is that!  

Thanks WhistleFish   you guys are all so lovely!  

I am working on some charms home work...I am trying to make a dress...I have always wanted to try to make clothes but am so daunted by the patterns and figuring everything out and whether it will be enough/the right material and so forth...so figure that owuld be a good charms project.  I am very lucky though as CraftyButterfly from craftster is helping me out with advice and tips on skype...it is fun as I can show the bit that is confusing me at the time and she is sewing along with the same pattern so is able to go...here it should look like this...awesome...I love technology and the kindness of friends on craftster!  I am rambling...sorry... but exciting!

~*Join the Order*~
Challenge: The Horcrux Hunt

The Order is looking for new members to thwart dark wizards and witches.  To see if you have what it takes, the Order has devised a challenge called the Horcrux Hunt.  This challenge will test all your crafty magical skills.  Your job is to find and destroy each horcrux.  You will have many semesters to complete this challenge, but you can destroy each horcrux only once.  You may conquer the horcruxes in any order.  This challenge earns 15 House Points per horcrux, but it CANNOT be combined with any classes or challenges.  Make sure your destruction of a horcrux is clear; if it is not immediately evident, then make sure to use your explanation to make it crystal clear.  Once you have collected all the horcruxes, you will permitted to join the Order.  Interested?  Head over to Headquarters for all the details.

I think I've been cursed! **shifty eyes** I'm having a terrible time with my crafting!
So I had to start over on my Snape plushie. **headdesk**
I was sewing magnets into his hands so that he could hold his "wand" and a "potion" and I managed to tear his hands. I also screwed up on painting his face. The seams of his torso also ripped and came apart.  I've used an old sheet for crafting before and never had issues with ripping. In fact, the other sheet was in much worse condition than this one! Now I'm going to have to get fabric from my mom for Snape. I should have been finished with him by now and have two or three outfits to boot!
I made three wands from chopsticks and wooden beads for my Arithmancy assignment. I got them glued together then spray painted them. Well, the spray paint set on the chopsticks but it didn't on the beads so I'll have to try repainting them in the morning.
On top of all that I managed to bend back part of my left thumbnail. It didn't break off but the angle at which it was bent makes it hurt like hell when I touch anything with it. Thankfully, I'm a righty but I can't crochet without my left hand and I want to work on my Apparation assignment. My Muggle Studies assignment is also being crocheted.
**sigh**
Anyone have some Liquid Luck? I am in desperate need of some. **slinks off to beg for white fabric for OWL**

HUGS!  You have had a terrible time of late; it does seem like crafty bad luck comes all at once.  I'm sure your luck will get better soon.  Until then I'm sending you more hugs and blessings of good luck!

Ooo...I want to go hunting horcruxes!  Awesome!

YAY!  And I can't wait to get hunting too!
