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.

:sparkles: :love_letter: :heart: :lion: Gryffindor Holiday Card Exchange :lion: :heart: :love_letter: :sparkles:

Gryffindor House is again hosting our annual holiday card exchange. This exchange is open to all HPC members of any House, and cards can be handmade or store bought. (No judgement!) You may participate as much or as little as you wish. This is not a swap, and no one will keep track of cards you send or receive. You can send cards to just a few people, to all the members in your country, or to everyone around the world who signs up. It’s up to you.

To participate, please send Mistress Jennie your name & mailing address (including country), exactly as it should appear on the envelope, by December 1st. I will compile the list, and send it back to you on December 2nd. At that point, you can write and mail your cards!

Class or Challenge Title: Headmistress/November - Leaky Cauldron
House: Hufflepuff
Project Name & Page Link: Coffee & Walnut Cake - I use this recipe - https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/coffee-walnut-cake, but with a couple of tweaks - I mix all of the walnuts into the mix and make extra “filling” and ice it with the filling, as well as it being in the middle.
Brief Description: I am so grateful for all of my hubby’s love and support, especially over the last few crazy months, so I made him his favourite - coffee & walnut cake
Project Picture:

Note - it does feel really odd to be spooning a liquid over a hot sponge cake, just out of the oven, but go with it - it makes the sponge so lovely and the coffee taste is really good - and that is coming from someone who is not really keen on coffee cake!

I really need to look into an embroidery machine, there are so many amazing patterns out there that I need to make! These are fantastic, especially the D20

I’ve been pretty absent from this board for ages, (going to change that!) Consequently I missed the ornament swap, but I’ve just put up my harry potter tree and I thought you guys would like to see it. It’s 90% ornaments from past rounds of the swap. It’s made me so happy today to unpack them all. Next year in our new house, I’ll get a bigger tree, they’re all crowded on there right now. But it still looks fab!!

You’ve been missed dear Lady.

Nice tree!! I put up all my Harry Potter ornaments this year! Our tree is a crazy cacophony of ornaments this year, but it is definitely dominated by lovely HP ornaments.
