Harry Potter Crafted With Love - Harry Potter discussion forum for movies, books, and more!

Crafters love what they do. Harry Potter Crafters love both crafting and all things Harry Potter. Items made are always made with love but sometimes there's a special loved involved in the handcrafted item.

This thread is the place where we can share that love.

Have something you crafted that was made for someone you love (partner, child, sibling, parent, etc)?

Have something someone you love made 'just for you'?

Have a craft that was gifted to you at a time when you needed a special shot of love?

Or something you crafted because your love of Harry Potter was more than you could contain?

Share the love here and spread the wonderful warm fuzzy feeling that is our fandom and the wonderful talent behind the crafts as well.

I know I have many special stories about crafts made and shared with love and one in particular comes to mind from last April. As a member of HPCrafters on Yahoo, it's not unusual to find me participating in swaps with other crafters there and so it was that at this time, I had already sent my craft off to my partner and was waiting on hers. This particular morning, I had received a call from my mother telling me that my dad -- who had suffered with emphysema for ten years -- was being placed into hospice, something we knew was coming eventually and that eventually had arrived.

I knew my mom and my adult children were together and they would be there for each other but that day, I was feeling rather alone 1,000 miles away until the owl arrived from my swap partner. To say I was floored when I opened the box containing my magical creature swap would be an understatement for it was more than expected. My partner knew she was 'overdoing' it shall we say but for some reason felt it was what she had to make for me. Thanks to our shared Harry Potter and Crafting Love, I had the most beautiful dragon quilt to comfort me and remind me I was not alone when I needed it the most. Not only did she use my most favorite creature of all but my favorite color of black and my favorite fabric of velvet.
