HP Craftalong ~Winter Semester 2012~ *CLOSED*

Made a little progress with my cleaning. I really should finish up Snape but I'm in a cleaning mood and I need to take advantage of it 'cause I HATE cleaning.

Horcrux Hunting is so fun!

Class/Challenge: Horcrux---Locket
House: Slytherin
Project Name: Aquaheart Valentine's Day Necklace
Project Description: I have had this heart with aqua crystals in it for a while and after coming across a long forgotten locket charm realized exactly what I wanted to do with them. This is a triple chain necklace with a key, a locket, and an aquaheart charm (which looks kinda like a "B" in the picture  )

Note from the Deputy Headmistress....

A new Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Bean Mini-Challenge has been posted!  



What's this week's bean!?!?  Take the Portkey to the Deputy Headmistresses Office to find out!  And while you're there be sure to check out the inspiration projects from all around Craftster.

Happy Spew Sunday, everyone!

I'll be AFK for  a few days and look forward to seeing all the crafty goodness you guys magic up while I'm gone. Of course I will be traveling light- just two or three WiPs to keep me company! Ha!

Hopefully when I return I will be able to post a few assignments. That would be nice.

Have a great day!

Happy SPEW Sunday!

I'm working on Project Linus blankets.  Here's my progress so far...





The pattern is Sideways Shell Baby Afghan~FREE! which is an easy, fab pattern.  I'm using Bernat Baby Sport Ombre, and started with a chain of 143 (H hook) to achieve 36" width.

OWL Subject & Option: Potions, Option 1: Show off your ability to work with many ingredients by showcasing at least 3 different colors/pattern/textures.
OWL Proposal
SPEW: PRR Squares
House: Gryffindor
Project Name: Perfect Potion Ghan
Brief Description: Success!....well mostly.  I have finished my Colour Changing Potion tests.  I ended up using a time turner to Geminio jennie's finished NEWT.  From there I steeped the Geminioed Ghan in my Colour Changing Potion.  As you can see, the potion still needs a bit of work; the lagoon stillstayed lagoon.  But I am quite pleased with the results.  The only question that remains is what to do with this ghan? 

Oh, and as I stated early, I finished my proposed OWL on Feb. 1, two days before my time requirements, so I did a bit of wandwork each remaining day to craft squares for PRR.
