ALL NEW, REIMAGINED Harry Potter Craftalong - Spring 2024

That’s awesome that you make your own bras! & the unpaper towels are cute and useful!

that mushroom print! :heart_eyes:

I have been at a snail’s pace replacing one-use items with reusable items. So far I have a Last Swab Q-tip, facial rounds, and pads (which are now moot). I use dryer balls instead of adding fabric softener. Reusable paper towels are on my list!

Toilet stuff will still be one-and-done, though. Makes me gag.

Yours are SUPER CUTE!

And you re-made a bra? Wow! Bras are a PITA for me. Most of the time I can get away without wearing one due to jackets and light decorative scarves, but as I’m getting older they’re falling a bit more :rofl: No good in summertime tank tops.

Love that mushroom fabric! I’m sure they’ll be very popular with the college crew.

OMG that mushroom fabric is the best!! And WOW! Nice bra upcycle!!

Project Name & Page Link: Window Wanderland - Lord of the Rings
Team: Witch Weekly
**Brief Description:**We have a community thing in our part of the city, the so called “Window Wanderland” - people who sign up decorate their windows for a weekend and keep their lights on so people can see the creativity. You walk around the houses who have signed up (or drive by car - they are usually very spread out).
We did our first one in 2022 - Ghost Busters themed, and this year it was Lord of The Rings.

There was no Wanderland in 2023. And I think my area of the city started this during Lockdown (2021 maybe?), at least we didn’t hear about it until 2021.

I made the 3 panels for our kitchen window all by myself, and then helped Doug and the twins to do the two Velux Windows (middle and top floor). They are quite rugged at the edges, due to the use of tracing paper (never able to cut that one neatly!!) and the worst ever: sugar paper! :wink:

Project Photo(s):

Ok, my work (all by myself):

The full display is here, the whole family’s work…

And let’s see if I can find our display from 2022…

Project Name & Page Link: February Book Binding Adventure
Team: Daily Prophet
Brief Description: My one goal for this month was to make a book. It took me forever to do the typeset, and I found a glaring mistake when I flipped through the pages this morning, but Oh Well! There’s a lot wrong with this but the only way to get better is practice. ~190 page quarter legal size, so about the same size as a trade paperback.
