Slow Stiching Sunday and a Harry Potter Weekend

Astrid just recently finished ALL the Harry Potter books and is completely engaged in the HP universe. So it was no surprise that when she came over to spend the weekend, we watched Harry Potter movies.

I thought it would be appropriate to work on my castle and dragon cross stitch project while we watched castles and dragons and I made some decent progress on the lower right quadrant yesterday.

Before
As of 10/17/15
I would like to fill in the rest of the right wing and get some back stitching done before I rotate this one out. 

It wouldn't be a Harry Potter weekend without a Harry Potter craft of some sort and since Astrid likes to draw fantastical creatures, we made a Monster Book of Monsters to keep her drawings safe.



We used felt for the eyes and teeth, and embroidered the title. The fur is attached to a large binder, so she can store her drawings and has room for many more future works of art.

    Your cross-stitch progress is wonderful! And your Monster Book of Monsters is amazing. I had to send a link to this post to a friend of mine. Her daughter loves to draw and their whole family loves Harry Potter. Very, very cool!

    Harry Potter is my main fandom ^_^ As someone who has full on obsessed for 5 years now and has done stuff like counted all of the characters in the books for fun I usually have a lot to judge when people do Harry Potter themed crafts, and this is AMAZING. Oh my Rowling this is perfect <3
