Class/Challenge: Apparition
House: Ravenclaw
Project Name: Cashew Chicken
Brief Description: For Apparition, I cooked one of my favorite dishes, cashew chicken, using this recipe. This time I cut up a fresh chicken breast, but I usually used precooked chicken (breasts that I’ve cut into bite sized pieces, cooked with salt & pepper, and frozen for later). When I do that, I dump in the thawed chicken after the cashews & peppers have cooked for a minute or so.
It’s usually served with white rice (made with chicken broth if I have some I need to use) and roasted veggies (broccoli & carrots tossed in olive oil with salt & pepper and baked at 400°F for 20-30 min).

House: Ravenclaw
Project Name: Blue Jersey Yarn
Brief Description: For Transfiguration, I upcycled a set of old jersey sheets into jersey yarn! For the fitted sheet, I cut the elastic & serged seams off, but used a seam ripper for the flat sheet. Both were cut into ~1" wide strips. I ended up with 2 large balls of jersey yarn and an elastic ‘string’ for my cat to play with.

Project Name: Tree Silhouette Painting Sample
Project Description: I was inspired to make this after seeing a picture from this video. I’m doing a library craft class tomorrow, and when I surveyed the participants, MANY of them wanted a very very basic painting night, so we’re doing this! They really like to have a sample to look at, so I made one tonight. The sample also helps work out potential kinks. It’s still drying, so please forgive the messy board it’s clipped to!

Project Name & Page Link: Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Brief Description: Like many families, we’ve had trouble finding formula for Ada. Jim’s coworkers asked which families in the company were using which formulas, so they could all keep an eye out. When he walked into his office on Tuesday there were several bottles and a box of premixed liquid formula on his desk, without any sort of note to know who bought it for us. Since I couldn’t send a thank you note to that person, I made a batch of cookies he could share with the whole office. I had some fancy Maroo raisins, so I did a nice spiced oatmeal raisin cookie. (The maroos are huge and very juicy.)

@MistressJennie How lovely that everyone is looking out for each other this way. I bet everyone appreciated the cookies!! I’ve never even heard of Maroo raisins. Now I have to learn more. 
Summer Reading starts today at our library, so I’ve been making a lot of decorations!

Project Name: KRAAAAAAAKEN!
Project Description: This kraken looks different from all angles, and the kids love him. It’s so fun to watch them come through the front door and just freeze and point. I was hoping not to make him too scary, maybe just alarming, lol, so one of my daughters suggested a Domo kun sort of mouth. I like how he turned out! (The ladder isn’t usually there - I just took this pic during installation.)

Project Name: Big Jellyfish
Project Description: These jellyfish used the very unexpected element of SHOWER CAPS! Each is made from a plastic bowl with a clear shower cap pulled over it and some strips of deconstructed shower puff and mesh tubing. I’m not sure how well you’ll be able to see it, but the shower cap pulls in on the underside of each bowl, making the bottom surface of the jelly’s body.

Project Name: Portholes
Project Description: These definitely needed to be made out-of-doors as there was a lot of spray paint involved. They are made of paper plates with the center cut out and pony beads glued around the edge. After spray painting, I glued plastic inside and an image behind each one. I made 5 total, but in the interest of saving space and time, I’ll just show 2 here.

Thanks everyone!!
@AIMR The blue bowls came from dollar tree and so did the clear shower caps, pouffs, and mesh tubing! I think I got three pouffs and still have some left over after all the jellies, lol!
@MistressJennie that’s a gorgeous quilt block! I love all things Hallowe’en! And I’m hungry for cookies now, lol! Your tea looks so refreshing! It reminds me that I should make the cucumber/ginger/mint water that’s so nice to have when it’s hot. I hope your milk production soars. 
@fishstix43 I don’t know why, but it really cracks me up that your mannequin is wearing a bra. 
Your bag is soooo lovely!

Project Name: Ichigo Coupon Pouch
Project Description: I realized that I need to get back to couponing and that the biggest stumbling block for me is not having a good place to keep them. Until now, I’ve been putting them in the shelf of the chalkboard by the door, but I always walk right past them when it’s time to go shopping. I decided that a dedicated pouch would be somewhere to put them as soon as I get them, and then the pouch can go in my bag so I always have them with me. (I bought a new bag, too, lol, but it was <$10, so I don’t feel too guilty.) I made this from fabric lined with felt, then added a snap, and hot glued some lace to the underside of the flap because I didn’t like the unfinished look of the edge from the underside. I’m really happy to have something cute to protect my coupons!
