Class or Challenge Title: Arithmancy House: Slytherin Project Name & Page Link: HP Crookshanks TM square. Brief Description: I did a personal swap with @PrincessP, a TM quilt square for one of her machine embroidered LC patches. I do not hand sew or embroider often, it is a tedious Muggle craft . Itâs about 4" x 6". Fits arithmancy because it will be sent around the world to someone. Seeing how itâs traveling from the US to Australia, with the current post office issues, P might receive it in time for Christmas⊠Project Picture:
Class or Challenge Title: Transfiguration House: Gryffindor Project Name & Page Link:Blackberry Buckle Brief Description: My mom often made Blueberry Buckle when I was growing up, and I sometimes miss it. Meanwhile I had 2 containers of blackberries that were a little bitter to eat out of hand, so I decided to substitute them into the buckle recipe she always used, figuring a little sugar and spice would fix that. I also swapped out 3/4 of the all purpose flour for whole wheat pastry flour, the milk for cashew milk, and replaced the cinnamon with a baking spice mix from Penzyâs that uses of 2 kinds of cinnamon, anise, allspice, mace, and cardamom. I think when I make it again, Iâll try half ap flour & half whole wheat pastry. Project Picture:

Class or Challenge Title: Iron Chef- October House: Hufflepuff Project Name & Page Link:Persimmon & Key Lime Spread Brief Description: My first time working with/eating persimmons, I modified the recipe and used 4 medium Fuyu persimmons, 1/2 cup key lime juice and 1/2 cup sugar. It didnât turn out to be quite the jam I anticipated, but it has more of an apple butter consistency that I love. Project Picture:
I have been on the hunt for persimmons all month and finally saw some at a Meijer on my way home last night. Very fortuitous because this spread is delicious. 4 small jars, two in the freezer, one in our fridge and one going to a friend.
AWESOME!!! Persimmons are supposed to be in season according to google, but I havenât seen any either. Admittedly, Mr. Road does the food store trips these days, so I havenât had much opportunity to see themâŠ
Wow, a lot of projects have been posted recently.
Jillybeans-Gorgeous Home plaque. I would totally hang that in my house.
Beholder folklore- I have never had anything with persimmons, that jam sounds yummy.
moonflame-wonderful hat. We just got our first snow here in Utah a few days ago. That looks like it would be very cozy. I love your take on the mayor âpumpkinâ, and the house- Wow, just wow!
MistressJennie-I love Blackberry Buckle, and I love Penzeyâs spices. Looks delicious!
CraftsUntold-I love your fingerless gloves! Wonderful job.

Brief Description: This blanket was shipped off to a dear friend whom I havenât been able to see in person for nearly 2 years now- first due to just regular life stuff and then Covid. Funnily enough the blanket was also 2 years in the making. It is not my original artwork, I used stitch fiddle to make a chart and worked it up from that. My friend really loves these characters and I had gotten it into my head that I wanted to make her this to show how much I appreciate our friendship. I didnât know what I was getting into. I originally planned âa nice throw blanketâ and ended up with a monster measuring approx 7â square. No one can accuse me of subtlety!

Class or Challenge Title: Charms House: Slytherin Project Name & Page Link: Mario Cart Birthday cake Brief Description: Today is my husbandâs birthday, heâs 37, so I made him a cake fit for his inner 7 year old. The cake itself is 2 boxes (chocolate and vanilla) of Betty Crocker (or maybe Duncan Hines?) gluten free cake mixes. I used green food coloring on a container of Cream cheese frosting (itâs what was in the cabinet), and I bought a Mario Hot Wheels/Matchbox car to put on top! Certainly brought a smile to his face.
note: I hate icing cakes. I have not mastered piping. Much prefer to make a tray bake or quick loaf. The things we do for loved ones! Project Picture:

@AntBee Holy Cow that blanket!! Thatâs true friendship right there!
@beholder_folklore I love how all the nifflers are holding different things, and Hermione looks so cute with the Monster Book!

They each contain 2 fun size Haribo pouches of gummies, a cow tail caramel, a Heath bar, and a pack of Smarties. Project Picture:
