PHEW! I really have to post some things soon…
Thank you, @Abbeeroad ! Was a bit of a different one really (we were in self isolation as the girls had a positive case in each of their classes - over the first 5 of the 10 days the numbers rose to 10 positive cases!!), but we had snow, went sledging and had good food!
Thank you for your birthday wishes as well, @AntBee

Class/Challenge: Headmistress, 12 Trees - Star
House: Ravenclaw
Project Name: Crochet Your Fade Shawl
Brief Description: Crocheting is one of my best crafts, so for this challenge I crocheted a shawl! It feels like it took forever because it’s made with sock yarn (& I had to frog & redo the first third because I read the pattern wrong). I’m not sure if I like it or not, but I think I’ve been staring at it for too long.

Class: Transfiguration
House: Slytherin
Project Name: chocolate chess pie
Project Description: I made this pie almost exactly like the recipe but I substituted 1/2 cup of sweetened condensed milk for the evaporated milk. It makes the pie more candy like. Almost caramel like on the bottom. It’s very good. I did it by accident once and now do it on purpose.
Hi everyone! I’ve loved seeing all of your posts just now Here is my project dump for the Headmistress Challenge - most of this was created as Holiday Gifts

Brief Description: This was a Christmas gift for a lady I worked with in 2020. She and I used to chat about great shows to watch, and I had this in mind for her for ages! I couldn’t find a pattern to buy that I liked, so I just designed my own.

A new Headmistress Challenge has been posted!
Would anyone be interested in an HPC Valentine’s Craft Date at Madam Puddifoot’s?
Love this prompt!
I would! Tea and cakes and crafts. Would be a fun date!
Yes!!! Is it a prompt? Or a zoom meet up? After today’s zoom I realized I needed more of it in my life.
It would be a Zoom (or discord, or Google Chat or something) meetup. I don’t have a professional Zoom account, so we’d be ousted after 45 minutes, unless we were to somehow use the one @kittykill got for LC.
Let me know when and I can set up the zoom meeting.
It would be really fun. If it happens I would definitely want to participate. My only hindrance is time of day. I’m almost guaranteed to get 1:30 to 3:00 pm daily and anytime after 8:30pm (Eastern Standard) but I appreciate how limited that is so we’ll see how it plays out.
I’ve done it when we all just log in again soon as it kicks us out. A minor inconvenience but it keeps us free. 🤷
I have a pro zoom account, so depending on day/time of the meetup I would be happy to host on my account.
Dependent on times, I would love to join in
Wouldn’t miss it!
Yes! I was just in the process of getting all my loose HPC ends tied up! Sorry, I try to avoid the computer when I’m not working on it 9-5 everyday, but break’s over now, so…here it is!
Iron Chef Hogwarts January Secret Ingredient: Grapefruit!
Grapefruit is for more than breakfast. Try these pink grapefruit dessert bars, grapefruit rice, or grapefruit chicken!
