Weekend Workout 20 - HP

 no, not the brown stuff in a bottle, Harry Potter of course.

Eleanor here, with weekend workout number 20. The theme this weekend is anything and everything remotely, vaguely Harry Potter inspired.

I haven't seen the last two Harry Potter films, I'm waiting until I can watch them both, one after the other, in the comfort of my own home, with the kettle on, and on, and on, and home baked goodies to munch.

My children and I have all loved the books, and so I decided to create another artist's canvas embroidery, like my Heidi one, this time printing a page from Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, where the sorting hat makes a first appearance, onto artists' canvas, and stitching over it with the image from the title page of every book - the Hogwarts coat of arms. (It takes ages, the canvas is stiff, and my fingers are sore, but I love doing it.)

 Does Harry do it for you?

Hi, Dolly here.

I am a huge Harry Potter fan. I was one of those people who queued to get the books at midnight and devoured them within the next day. I love them. OK so I started pretending I was reading them for school - just to check they were OK for the children. But I convinced no one!

Both of these pages were made using Dawn Inskip kits from her store at Scrapbookgraphics, especially this one called, appropriately enough, Wizardry

 

and these have to be the two cutest little Hogwarts trainees ever!.

 

Have fun creating wizardry of your own.

Hiya Claireliz here, I'm another one who is a huge fan of Harry Potter, the books reignited my passion for reading aged 21 & my love of Harry Potter is something I am lucky enough to share with my 5 year old daughter - who happens to be called Hermione :D

As the summer holidays are upon us & the weather has not been fab here by the seaside we put on the Harry Potter dvds (the less scary ones) & got out boxes of lego & here is what we've been making...

                                       
 
 
 

We have 2 Harry Potter legos sets, Dumbledores ofiice & 2 shops from Diagon Alley (I want all the Harry Potter lego sets & to build them all in my attic - a bit like the train sets people have - a full on Harry Potter World but I don't think hubs would let me lol) and we made our own huge Hogwarts...

if you look closely you can see a lego troll in the dungeon...

 

we also found a boat with oars from a Pirate set of Lego...so now they can cross the lake to Hogwarts...

                                      
 

Hermione asked if she could have some more Harry Potter lego for Christmas this year as we had such fun making these, so as long as she's good & I can play with it too I think I'll be collecting Harry Potter lego for her ready for Christmas :D

So show us your Harry Potter magic, looking forward to seeing what you make :D

These are all amazing! What incredible talent you all have... And I didn't know that there was such a thing as Harry Potter lego. I'll have to start collecting for my DGS to add to DS's quarter-of-a-century old one. :)

I love all the responses to the HP theme. Unfortunately I don't like HP and always find some crafting to do when it is on TV/DVD in our house. Karen-my daughter is 36 and she still queued for the book and had it finished before the next morning!!

I am NOT a fan of HP (my middle daughter used to have the books for her reading books at school & it put me off)
I however think you all have done an amazing job crafting HP stuff (soz for calling it stuff)
TFS so inspirational
