New Christmas cross stitch ornament: gingerbread girl made of plastic canvas

Hi! I just finished this baby ginger cookie made of plastic canvas! I'm thinking of making some more cookies in this style later. In my opinion, this is one of the cutest things that I have in my plastic canvas collection.

Random Craft Dump!

Over the years there have been so many random and one-off crafts I’ve made: some for a purpose, and some just for fun. Enjoy! 

A completely fake Keytar for a film I worked on. I had a budget, but upon realizing how expensive Keytars are, I knew I had to make one. I used an old keyboard and craft foam, painted with acrylic. This was made for a live action Jem and The Holograms film. Here it is on its day of filming: 

Next, I made this cheap little Halloween wreath so spruce up my front door. I had a bunch of these cheapo cobwebs but didn’t want to decorate bushes or anything because I know how bad they are for birds. Solution:

Next is a costume I’ve always wanted to do for myself and got to do a super quick version of it for my brother. What a great sport! A friend threw a super fun carnival/circus themed birthday party, and we needed something quick! I was so excited he let me throw this together for him. Maybe one day I’ll be able to do a more in-depth version of it. 

I found this kit at a thrift store for 25 cents, so I couldn’t pass it up. It said something so cheesy, I don’t even remember, “Blessed...” something. So I fixed it by making a Handmade’s Tale joke from it. It now proudy sits in my writing nook. I hadn’t done this type of stitching before, and it was super fun. 

Last, but not least, and more of a grand finale, is not a craft, but a crafting inspiration. In 2019, fate lined up for me to meet the wonderful and beyond talented Christine McConnell at the Winchester Mystery House, of all places. 

If you are not familiar with her, you should be. She is the queen of classy and spooky makers. At least once or twice a year, especially during Halloween and heavy crafting, I rewatch her The Curious Creation of Christine McConnell (Netflix), and always keep up on her current Youtube series. She is so unbelievably skilled, I have learned so much from watching her. 

She was there showcasing her absolutely stunning gingerbread house model of the Winchester Mystery House:

A Gingerbread Getaway

Christmas reigned at the top of Hermione’s list of all-time favorite holidays, and gingerbread biscuits sat right up there alongside them as the king of yuletide indulgences with the likes of cinnamon-dusted eggnog, peppermint bark, and caramel-topped sour apple quills for company.

Her gingerbread fanaticism went so far as distinguishing an ideal gingerbread, with a superior texture. She had no patience for crunchy biscuits requiring the assistance of milk to soften the blow to her teeth. Hermione required a chewy center with only the slightest suggestion of crisp on the very edges: the fresher, and by association, warmer, the better. You might reheat them to near similar results, but she could always taste the difference. She could tell when Hannah Abbot served biscuits baked the night prior rather than those that same morning, no matter what the Leaky Cauldron’s proprietress might say.

So it was with great excitement and confidence that Hermione signed up for the Ministry’s recently announced Annual Holiday Gingerbread House Competition.

The first-place prize for the inaugural contest was a Romantic Getaway for Two to the Egyptian Sphinx Resort. The all-inclusive experience involved six nights in the Founder’s Suite, full spa privileges with a private masseuse, and even 24/7 access to a three-star Michelin chef–yes, even wizards paid homage to the rating system.

That wasn’t why Hermione wanted the prize.

What more interested her was not the what, but the where and the when.

You see, Sphinx Resort was located in Alexandria, home of the renowned library that was not lost, but hidden. Hermione had been trying to gain access for months to no avail. It wasn’t the library itself that barred her access–oh no, they were more than welcoming when she made first contact, even going so far as to offer her one of their limited scholar residencies. Hermione had made a name for herself in the past handful of years, and they noticed.

No. It was the Ministry, and, more specifically, her department head who refused to let her go. She was too valuable. Without her presence, the Department of Creature Rights and Regulations might just come to a complete halt.

What utter rubbish.

She knew, just as well as they, that everything she did was painstakingly noted in the database that she regularly maintained. Every. Single. Step. There was absolutely no reason why another employee couldn’t dive right in and find whatever it was they needed.

So. She deserved this vacation. She deserved a week of complete, uninterrupted bliss in the great quiet of Alexandria.

Too bad she wasn’t the only one with the same idea.

“What are you doing here?” she asked, not even bothering to hide her shock.

Malfoy turned to her, his own gingerbread house supply bag in hand, to raise a perfectly-shaped eyebrow. Like her, he’d come to pick up their materials, which were to be the same for every single participant. Unlike her, he could afford a trip to Egypt. He could easily buy out the entire city, spending every single moment being pampered to his heart’s delight. She also knew his department didn’t give one whit about vacation time.

“Same as you, I imagine,” he said with a drawl, looking pointedly at the bag she clutched tight to her chest, as if she was trying to shield herself, which she admittedly was.

“Since when do you like gingerbread?” She’d seen the way he inhaled candied apples and streusel back in their school days. He never came close to even breathing on the biscuits.

“Since when do you care what I like or don’t like?” He narrowed his eyes right back at her in mock suspicion, lips pursed as he, too, crossed his arms.

He had her there. She shouldn’t care.

Nevermind the fact that they’d recently worked together on a few coordinating projects between their departments; she supplied the creature research and handled all communication, while he, as the Auror, stitched together the information for the case at hand. As much as she hated to admit it, they worked together remarkably well. Just last week, they’d closed on a case where a house-elf had been accused of not only theft, but also murder. They’d proven Griff innocent despite all the initial evidence pointing to the opposite. It had been the wizard’s wife who staged the entire scenario and expected her house-elf to take the blame.

Every night while they’d worked on their evidence and reports, they’d taken turns indulging in their favorite takeout. She introduced him to her favorite Indian fast food, while he treated her to fresh-made pasta direct from Blaise’s villa in Seville. Their verbal barbs ran as hot and fast as their tea mugs, which were charmed to refill the second they dropped three-quarters to the bottom. Despite their intellectual match and culinary explorations, they never conceded to actually liking whatever the other presented.

So no, she shouldn’t care whether or not he liked gingerbread biscuits, or building gingerbread houses, or romantic getaways to Egypt. She actively turned her imagination away from whatever mysterious companion he intended to bring with him.

The figure she pushed away into the shadows of her mind looked suspiciously like Astoria Greengrass.

“I don’t.”

“Right.” He closed on the ‘t’ with a loud click and smirked in that way he’d perfected since they first started working together.

Not the smirk of their childhood that placed her beneath him. It was the smirk of suggestion and perhaps a little bit of invitation. It was a smirk that dared her to reciprocate.

“It doesn’t matter to me because I’m going to win.” Inwardly, she cringed at herself. It was too late to stop her chin from rising as she said the words in the haughty way she used to do in school.

Circe, she could be so bloody annoying.

“You keep telling yourself that, Granger.” Lips still tilted upwards in that smug way, he sauntered up to her, pausing once they were level to murmur just loud enough for her to hear. “Either way, I don’t intend to lose.”

She turned to snap at him, but he had already moved on past the line of other witches and wizards arriving to pick up their supplies.

“Malfoy giving you a hard time, Hermione?” Kind blue eyes peered at her from beneath a pretty blonde braid. Hermione’s stomach dropped and she struggled to keep the dismay from her face.

“Susan? What are you doing here?”

The other witch blanched and Hermione tried not to like it too much. It wasn’t Susan’s fault Hermione had failed to notice her own ex-boyfriend’s flagging attention, and the new relationship hadn’t even begun until several months after the messy breakup.

“Ronald asked me to pick up for him since he’s still offsite for the next few days.”

“Ah.”

Rather than force herself to make awkward small talk for the sake of the other woman’s feelings, Hermione gave a final, closed-lipped smile and walked away. Part of her wanted to pat herself on the back for refraining from cursing Susan’s materials.

There’d be plenty of time for sabotage once the competition was under way, and she had someone else in her sights.

Read the rest on AO3, here!

I hope everyone’s holiday is going well and that you’re looking forward to 2024 😄 I am currently lying in bed coughing up a lung with my first instance of COVID, thanks to Christmas with my family. I’ll be staying in, obviously, but hopefully that means I’ll be back in the writer’s seat soon!
