Reminder: The OWL POST SWAP is still open for signups! This is a small, simple swap, for just one Medium crafted item. I was going to close signups this morning, but we currently have just 4 (totally awesome) members. @Abbeeroad, @AntBee, momiemae, and myself. I’m going to keep the signups open a few more days to see if anyone else wants to join this awesome crew on a rocket ship to out-of-this-world crafty goodness.

A new Hermione’s Book Club prompt has been posted!

ADVANCED STUDIES Progress…
I have gotten alot of progress done on learning how to make a bra.
First I tried to make a bralette. However I got very distracted by the “what if” I did this ideas… ended up like a odd sports bra by the end. It was worth it though, I learned alot. https://www.moodfabrics.com/blog/the-darcy-bralette-free-sewing-pattern/

Next I decided it would be wise to actually follow a bralette pattern. After a couple of sizing tweaks it ended up turning out well. This was a great free pattern.

Class or Challenge Title: Headmistress - Dungbomb
House: Slytherin ::snake::
Project Name & Page Link: Guest room repaint
Brief Description: There was a room in my house that my MIL painted lemon yellow before we bought it. It was such a bright, in your face color, just way too much for a bedroom. We use this room as a guest room. Two coats of Kilz primer and 2 coats of Behr Ulta later, and it’s a lovely, calm, neutral grey. Aah.

I love your idea for a see-through mask @plaidpineapple. I don’t have to wear a mask on the classroom, I can’t imagine how hard it must make teaching language or vocabulary!!

Challenge- Head Otters Fizzy Drink
House- Hufflepuff
Project- 8 big pompoms
When I saw this stripy yarn I just had to make something in it, It’s just the colours of my house :slight_smile: it’s acrylic and not really good for knitting, but I love pompoms, so…
I don’t really know what I’ll do with them in the long run, but at the minute I’m just flooping them around and letting them make me smile

Challenge: Ton Tounge Toffee
House: Hufflepuff
Project: … and 3 small ones
Pompoms really do use a ton of yarn really quickly! I didn’t have enough for any more big poms but I made 3 smaller ones - wrapped now densely so they are rounder, more solid and less floppy-floopy. I’ll put these in my prize box at school (pure bribery for my class - I give out points for doing classroom jobs quietly and quickly, then each week we tally the points and the winning table gets to choose from the prize box
