Heh. Craftylilly finally finished a 3 year old WIP, a
birth announcementfor her second child. She's got two close up photos, and the buny is just adorable (the bluebird looks a wee bit angry to me. *g*).

Harry Potter fan? The News & Observer has a whole article of Harry Potter-related links, including some craft ones. In particular, it turns out that The Leaky Cauldron, a Harry Potter fansite, has some needlework projects, including a collection of house crests meant for plastic canvas work but could easily be adapted to another fabric.

Bev at Easy Crafts 4 Fun shows off her daughter Jillian's second ever
finish. It's a cute pair of hearts, that's impressing me simply bc she backstitched the outlines and smiles. I know lots of long time stitchers who still hate backstitching. And, I think those are french knots on the background as well. Great job!
