Weekend Report

Weekend Report

In our top story projects are beginning to roll in from the dungeon.  In the midst of OWL fever Slytherins continue to produce excellent projects for all the classes for November.  

In Charms Deadalchemist turned in this lovely collar to commemorate the fashion stylings of Ms. Bellatrix Lestrange.

The dyers are dominating DADA with Bidbid and Vox8 offering the following yarns from their vats.



Voluptousness from Vox8

Beauty from Bidbid

The Himalayas are singing with this offering for the Yeti from Bidbid in Care of Magical Creatures. 

In Transfiguration Joseybug presented this lovely little Slytherin sweater.  Now if she could just produce a travel size hottie to go with it I'd be an even bigger fan.

And in Potions Cdavis made us all go "ooohhhh" at this cute baby bonnet.

Weather:  Continuing stockinette throughout most of the weekend.

Up in the OWLery the examiners have been stunned by the following delightful finals.

Hermionejean's lovely bag.

Peanutzmom's astounding collection of hats.



A dizzying number of house scarfs from Cubejelly

Forgivable Curse of the week:  Holy mother of acrylic alpaca!

As a special feature this week I've decided to outline some potential "inspiration" for classwork based on the class prompts.   Remember an age line has been cast around the bar and you will find hair in unwaxable places if you are under 21.
