Between working full time, piano lessons, proofreading a historic novel and gardening, there's been less time to stitch lately. One project has been completed but I cannot reveal it just yet so keep your eyes peeled in the next couple of weeks.
In the meantime, I've been working on this wee fella.
He's a mandrake from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.
The young mandrakes are repotted during a Herbology class with Professor Sprout. When pulled from their pots they emit a shrill scream, rendering Neville Longbottom unconscious due to "neglecting his earmuffs"
The screams from mature specimens can be fatal.
The Mandrake is a magical plant with powerful restorative properties that form an essential element of many antidotes, including the draft used after the petrification of Mrs Norris, Colin Creevey, Justin Finch-Fletchley and the ghost of Nearly Headless Nick, Penelope Clearwater and Hermione Granger (and 50 years earlier, Moaning Myrtle who died).
