#HarryPotter + #Baking + #Crafting + Weather

Of course, I had to get the matching Ravenclaw bowl that goes with the mug I showed you that I got a couple of weeks ago, didn’t I? So, here are a couple of photos of the bowl for anyone who would like to see it:

I made this strawberry cloud pie in the cooking call:


 

 

It’s 100% vegan, and was very tasty, if I do say so myself.

 

I’ve made plenty of other things on the cooking call, including a new to me cookie recipe.  But I’m especially proud of this strawberry cloud pie since there were a lot of adaptations required to make it suitable for vegans, and I’d never done anything like that before.  That’s why I wanted to show it to you.

I also made a little loom knitted scrubby, which is made out of a pale blue cotton yarn (the colour name is “ice blue” I believe).  So, here’s a photo of that for you to see too:


 

 

And I also made this black and white woven rope basket:


 

 

The basket was one of the large pile of kits that have been waiting for me to be able to do them for ages.  My Dad read the instructions for me so I could finally get to do it.  Hopefully he’s going to continue helping me work my way through the pile of craft kits.  It’s going to take some time to get through them though, because I ended up with a rather large pile of them.

It was the Autumn Equinox a little over a week ago, and the weather most definitely agrees that the Summer is now over.  And that’s just fine by me.  I’d much rather these cooler temperatures that’s for sure!

Things have been pretty busy here most days.  But - as I feel like I'm saying a lot lately - it's the kind of busy where I don’t really have anything to share despite that, so I’ll let this do for today.  I hope September has been a good month for you.  Stay safe, especially if you happen to be in the path of any of the really bad storms I’ve been hearing so much about.

That pie is so beautiful -- decorated so pretty and I'm sure it tastes wonderful. How nice it could be vegan! I love little knit scrubbies and use them a lot and the basket kit is great too. Have a wonderful weekend.

You can be proud of that pretty pie! You've been busy! I hope you dad keeps helping you with your wonderful project kits.
I am also really glad to see the cooler temps. LOVE fall and have been appreciating the crispness. But we've already been having frost warnings occasionally! Too soon for that. Oh well. I am glad to be free of the heat! :)

Rita:
Thanks about the pie. I hope Dad keeps helping with the kits too. And I agree: it's a bit earlier than you'd expect (or want) frost warnings, but at least it means the awful heat has gone away.

Thanks. It was, if I do say so myself. ;)
