Hagrid was the surname of a wizarding family. Mr Hagrid married the Giantess Fridwulfa, and she bore him a half-giant son named Rubeus Hagrid. It is unknown if Rubeus Hagrid ever had children, but it is known that he did not marry. Fridwulfa — a Giant, wife of Mr Hagrid, mother of Rubeus Hagrid and Grawp Mr Hagrid — a wizard; father of Rubeus Hagrid who died when his son was twelve years old Rubeus Hagrid — a half-giant wizard, son of Mr Hagrid and Fridwulfa Jim Hamilton — a suspected Squib who
Do you have room on your tree for one more ornament? Because lookie: A little Bertie Bott's box! This is roughly half the size of the real candy box, and - I'm proud to say - much easier to make. Yep, this is a completely different template, since the full-size boxes are a HUGE pain in the keister. That top peak never wants to sit right or stay flush, and even the ones in Universal's display windows are covered with unsightly Scotch tape to hold them down. (Which does make me feel better, but still.) After I nearly lost my mind wrestling with the full size boxes, John and I set out to make an easier template; one that requires only one seam on top instead of four, so the peak is nice and sharp. We started with Little Falling Star's free box art, and after much tweaking and Frankensteining and practice runs, we finally got it! Then we added photos of jelly beans to all the windows, so you can skip the tedious cutting-out-windows-and-filling-with-candy step. I won't keep you in suspense; here's our finished template: Right-click and hit "save" to download, then print at 100% size on satin photo paper. This is still slightly tricky to put together, though, so let me walk you through it: YOU WILL NEED: - a craft blade - a ruler - an awl (or something similarly pointy to score the paper) - rubber cement or contact cement - head pins - round nose pliers - pretty beads (optional) After you've cut out your template with the craft blade, flip it over, and score the following red lines on the BACK side: Use a ruler and awl, and really scratch those lines in if you're using photo paper, since it's thick. The bottom flaps can be hard to get right, so John's added tiny black marks on your printed template edges to help you find them. Poke a little hole in these marks, flip the paper over, and use the holes as a guide for scoring. Now, before you fold anything, apply your cement to all the tabs on the front side, and then to the edges where they'll stick on the back side. A Q-tip is great for spreading the cement, since it's such a small area. Once the cement is dry (which only takes a few seconds), start at the top and assemble just the peak: Now stop here, so you can insert the head pin for the ornament hanger. To do that, use your awl (or other pokey thing) to poke a tiny hole in the very center of the peak: Then stick your head pin through from the bottom Updated to add: As suggested by some brilliant commenters, add a bead to the underside of the pin here, too, for better support. I'll be doing that next time! Ta-da! Now add some pretty beads, if you like: ... and use pliers to twist the remaining bit of pin into a loop. (I actually use a 1-step Looper for this. It's a life-saver.) From here you can fold and assemble the box sides, which are quite simple. The box bottom doesn't need glue; just fold in the two-tab flap first, then the sides, then the final tab slides under, like so: It took me an embarrassingly long time to figure this out, you guys; I had the flap order all wrong for the first 6 boxes! Ha! Um, spatial reasoning is not my strong point. Now add an ornament hanger, and you're done! Since the ornament is only being held up by a head pin, I don't recommend putting anything inside the box, or you'll risk the pin popping out. However, if you're not hanging the box, go nuts and fill 'er up! Just be sure to tell people they have to open it from the bottom, not the top. One last tree shot: Hope you guys like my last-minute Christmas craft! Anyone think you'll try one? If so, please share pics over on Facebook, so I can see! (I'm already planning a HoneyDukes tree for next year. AW YEAH CAN'T STOP ME. Muah-ha-haaa!!)
On Google today is a special Google logo for the holiday season. The logo looks very cheerful and Christmas like. Here it is: Tomorrow is Christmas and some Christians are hurt by the fact that when you hover your mouse over the logo or click on the logo, all it says is "Happy Holidays" as opposed to Merry Christmas. Now, Google typically does this every year. Last year's post has 50 comments and the year before has 55, mostly with complaints about the language Google used for their logo. Why not say Merry Christmas...

Halloween is approaching fast, and it's my favorite holiday. Last year, due to a recent move and being sick, I didn't participate. This year I'm trying to make up for it. Alec is going to be Dumbledore, because it's the last year he will have his epic beard. I'm going to go as Hermione, so we compliment each other. I'm going to go as polyjuice mix up cat Hermione so it's extra fun. When Alec and I went to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter last January, they had all the house robes, but they were over-priced and cheaply made. Instead I picked up an official Hogwarts crest patch so I could make my own custom robe. I created the robe pattern by expanding a tent sloper to full length and adding bishop style sleeves and a hood. This is not a replica of the movie robes by any means. I didn't fully line this robe, it just has facing pieces to finish the opening. It is a generic Hogwarts robe, as it doesn't have any of the house colors for the lining. This way it can be any character's robe. To make it, I was trying to use material I already had around the house. I didn't have the right kind of buttons in black, so I just found the right size in my button collection and covered them in the same fabric as the robe. I used a lightweight woven cotton that I had found at a fabric re-use place in Portland. I would recommend a heavier weight synthetic that resists wrinkling if I was going to make it again. There are in seam pockets on the sides for wands and chocolate frogs. If you would like to make a robe similar to the one I made, here is the rough pattern. Print this out and blow it up until it is the size of the measurements stated. This is a very roomy robe that could fit a large range of sizes. *Addition April 18, 2013* Here are the really rough instructions on how to put the pattern pieces together. If you've never sewn before this isn't enough information for you to put the robe together correctly, it's just a loose guide for people who've sewn from patterns before. click images to view larger

I was super excited when Amit from Neomam Studios reached out to Domestic Geek Girl to share these awesomely geek-tastic images from SykesCottages. It seems that everyone is getting a fresh bout of healthy obsession with Harry Potter again, now that the new Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them movie has come out. And just
I have to tell you all if you didn’t know already that my favourite social media platform at the moment is Pinterest – it is so visual and I take a lot of inspiration from it. This is what happened when I found the below Pin: These are the materials we used: TP rolls wash tape – I had two designs: the geometrical one and the silver one; glittery foam – cut in the shapes you like: hearts, rounds etc. I think that the images are explaining the craft but f you have any other questions please let me know. These are great as jewellery boxes for little kids don’t you think? Here are the links to the original pins: Follow Otilia Stocks’s board Crafts on Pinterest. Like this Article?
