CLOSED: Harry Potter Craftalong - Yule 2020/21

Class or Challenge Title: Cht 3 - The Burrow
House: Slytherin :snake:
Project Name & Page Link: Apple Crisp
Brief Description: Bought a bag of honeycrisp apples, and only ate half of them before they started to look iffy. Last night I cut off the couple brown spots on some of them and made impromptu apple crisp! It was super tasty with vanilla ice cream.
I don’t have a recipe to share, this is such an easy thing to do. I just eyeball the spices and sugar and such. Cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, butter, about a tbsp of GF flour, and raisins in the apple mix. Topped with a brown sugar, GF oatmeal, GF flour, and butter crumble mixture.
Excellent comfort food.
Edited because I had already done something for Herbology…)

Omg, love love love!! I’m so in love with cross stitch samplers. I’ve done one so far that was lord of the rings themed. I still need to frame it like 2 years later. But yours so so beautiful! Fall is the best! <3

Project Name & Page Link: Gryffindor Bunting
Brief Description: I made this bunting for @Abbeeroad for the HP Swap. It was a bit of a funny story because I bought the Gryffindor fabric online and the scale of the print was SO LARGE it would be more suitable for curtains! My friend from interstate came to the rescue and went shopping for me and bought the fabric, and actually all of the fabric because I couldn’t trust online pics for the right colours. Crafty friends to the rescue, right? :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

:zap: Headmistress Jennie casts the House Points Charm! :zap:

Hey friends. I just did a points update, and came across a few things I wanted to mention.

First, if you submit a cooking or baking project, you must provide a recipe. It’s part of the rules of this craftalong. If you made up your recipe, and don’t have precise measurements to share with the group, you are allowed to post a link to a similar recipe found elsewhere on the web. In the case of CraftsUntold’s apple crisp post, I have edited it to add in a link to the Better Homes & Gardens classic Apple Crisp recipe.

Second, please be careful that you aren’t posting the same subjects more than once. @jillybeans, when I went to record your project post from Nov 13th, I saw you were submitting items for Arithmancy, Charms, and Herbology, all of which you’ve already submitted this term. (Arithmancy on 10/22, and Charms & Herbology on 10/5). Therefore your Snickerdoodle Cupcakes, Cheesecake, & Witch Fingers have not been given House Points. If you wish to resubmit them under prompts you haven’t already done, please let me know.

Thank you!

Class or Challenge Title: Detention - Stash #1
House: Gryffindor!
Project Name & Page Link: Hooded Baby Sweater
Brief Description: I received the yarn for the body of this project in last month’s DGY subscription box, and knew I wanted to use it on something for a dear friend’s expected baby. It was saved from being dumped into stash (but was not bought specifically for), by this project, and the teal contrasting edging and buttons both came out of stash. I’m thrilled with how cute it came out.
