The Remembrall: 21st-27th Jan.

Those of you who haven't had a chance to craft for the Fruitcake Game in Quidditch might want to start crafting this week as the game ends next Tuesday (29th January).  For those wishing to take part in the Slytherin Quidditch Cupcake-A-Long there are some excellent free decorated crochet cake patterns by Grietje Karwietje that are quick to make and well worth checking out.  If cupcakes aren't your scene, there is also a Slytherin Booze Pouch A-Long.  Head to the locker room for more help and inspiration.

Anyone attempting an Order Mission, now is the time to gather together your supplies as crafting commences on Sunday.










...and finally, those brave enough to be doing your NEWTs this term will need to be getting to the half way point and preparing any alteration proposals for next week.

Evil’s Cheat Sheet of Total Domination, Jan 12-18

And this week belongs to the Snakes!!!!! Yesssss. Way to go Noble Slytherins.

The weekly totals:
1. Slytherin with 98
2. Gryffindor with 83
3. Ravenclaw with 77
4. Hufflepuff with 70

Overall this month the Lions still hold the lead, but we are starting to catch up. Favorite class this week was Flying with Potions coming in a very close second.

Just a reminder for your long-term plot schemes – February is short, so try to get ahead on your OWLs, NEWTs and BROOMs this month so the halfway point is not a scramble. Also, there is more time this month to get in extra homework assignments and it’s the best time of year to use up scrap yarn.

FYI: Quidditch Game 1 is up and running, so take a break and join in an a-long.

Keep up the excellent crafting Snakes.

Go Slytherin, go!

Diminuendo The Rest

As we come to the middle of January, let's check in and see how things are going.

The Slytherfit thread has been pretty active this week with lots of Snakes working on setting up good habits. Be sure to stop by and cheer on your fellow snakes or report on how things are going.

Hope everyone has a Happy Craft Filled Weekend!
