Monday Showcase: Kicking off the Spring Term!

We are just over a week into the Spring Term, and already Ravenclaw students have been turning in amazing projects around the House Cup! And interestingly, because the first Quidditch match asked students to finish some non-Rav craft WIPs, this showcase is predominantly non-Rav crafts! (In fact, there isn't a single knitting project, and only a few crochet projects and handspun skeins!)

This week I unveiled our new "traveling" Golden Pickle Award, which is awarded to those projects that just stand out!


NikkiFB got out her watercolors and painted four beautiful notecards representing the seasons for Charms:

rosimoto crocheted a 1000 yard heidi bear hippo in about a week WITH A BROKEN WRIST!!!

Congrats to all the badge winners!!!  Keep all those incredible projects coming, and stay tuned for more Pickle Badge showcases throughout the term!
