There are so many things I want to make. I have made the time turner. I would like to try and do some cross stitching. I have attempted to knit and crochet, but do a few liunes and give up. I haven't quite learned how to thread my sewing machine yet, so sewing is out until then... The time turner was definately very fun and cool to make! I made one to send to my craft swap partner on our yahoo group!
I really want to make some of those charms that we have been discussing on the yahoo group. I didnt see the instructions on here yet. The charms look almost identical to those made by WB in 2001. Very cool house charms! ~Drops~ -------------------- ~Drops~

Yes they really are... Plus marble crafts are so easy to do. You can make many variations of them : keychains, magnets, etc. And all you need is those clear stone you put in fish tanks, and they are incredibly cheap.

I took one look at the crafts section, and I want to do ALL of it!!!!! Actually, I'm really getting my knitting skills up to par, so I can knit a school sweater. I just learned to knit a few months ago, so I know I'm ambitious, but I was the same way when I learned quilting. That's just how I do things, dive in head first and learn the hard way. The one pattern I wish I could find was an adult version of the Weasley sweaters (like Ron's "R" sweater). If anyone knows of one, could you PM me???

There's a Weasley sweater pattern coming up soon... Just be a little patient and it'll come
 I learned to knit just so I could have a Ravenclaw scarf. That thought me the knit stich. Now I'm learning to purl and increase decrease with a Ravenclaw vest. I've done the back and about 32 rows on the front. Hopefully it'll be done by the time I get to Vegas! -------------------- |

I'm currently collecting fabric to make a Harry Potter quilt. I'm working on some of my own designs to make the quilt squares, like a broom, snitch, etc. I have a lot of star material and I actually found some that looks like gray bricks so the back will be like a castle wall. I have a pattern that just tells me how big to make the pieces, the rest I'm doing in my head. So far so good.

After having read the prequel, I want to make a T-shirt with a golden phoenix on - like the ones James and Sirius were wearing. I think it could be really cool, people who know will recognize it while others might just look at is as a regular T-shirt :-)

That would be a cool idea AstridB. Do you know how to stencil? That would probably be your best option to get the gold color. If not, I guess you could always go with a golden yellow and an iron on.

The next project on my to do list is to make a Hedwig Plush if I can find the right type of material to use. I also want to get working on making a Dress that I designed. I also want to make a grindylow. I need to read the description in the book again and hopefully I can base my design off of that. oh and if the Hedwig plush comes out ok then I might think about making a Pigwidgion and Errol plush too. I have lots of things I want to do. and not enough time to do them in....
Edit to Add: I also have this Idea for HP dolls with their own broom sticks too. But I need to hatch that one out a little better.

I've been wanting to make some Hurray for Hufflepuff socks for quite some time. Hmmm, I think you've just given me the sock bug again!! -------------------- Jenn   |

I've never actually knitted a whole sock before (yep, not even a singular sock!) and I'd love to learn.
I also want to make Lykkefanten's socks, I've had my eye on the Such a Slytherin pattern for ages! Maybe a knit-a-long is in order? -------------------- —¤ ·´¨'°÷·..*-Tammy
