Without further ado, I offer up a brief tour of my son’s Quiet Book… of FIERCE MAJESTY! Just a couple of quick notes on putting it all together. I tried to take lessons I had learned from the quiet book I made for my niece and upgrade them here. For instance, I didn’t assume anything …
I have to admit.. these may have been my favorite quiet book pages. These were completely my own idea and design and I absolutely adore how they came out! I got the idea to make it a two page spread, because I knew I couldn’t fit everything into just one. So I made the left …
The Black Lake is a constant presence on the Hogwarts grounds, and becomes crucial to Harry’s completion of the TriWizard Tournament in the fourth book. We find out about several of the inhabitants over the course of the series, including the giant squid, grindylows, and of course, the merpeople. I decided to make a small …
The Quiet Book, of course, needed to have a greenhouse page to show some well deserved botanical love and give a little nod to our beloved head of Hufflepuff House, Professor Sprout, who teaches Herbology. So here we have Neville donning his ear protection in order to transplant the infant mandrakes. I started with a …

I remember pinning several “geeky” themed embroideries on Pinterest like this Harry Potter Themed hoop by pinkleo on Craftster. For a long time though I pretty much dismissed hand embroidery as impractical, purely decorative, and non-functional. I mean, I have limited crafting …
I am starting to think that the “crafting bug” one hears talk of, where you get an idea and have the urge to create something, is more like a particularly virulent virus for me. I don’t know what it is but when an idea floats through the air of my psyche and happens to fall …
Well I think my work indoctrinating my niece with my love for Harry Potter is done … my niece and my sister read through the first Harry Potter book that I got for her last Christmas, accompanied by a ridiculous number of small themed presents. Not long after they finished I was talking to my …
The Bullet Journal thrives on the ability to constantly be revised, amended, expanded or scrapped. It can be an artistic outlet or just a way to get an organizational/ neatness fix 🙂 I wish I was as creative as the amazing Bullet Journal artists on Instagram (see previous BuJo post for list), but I have …
I did not know how empty and chaotic my planning life was until I stumbled upon the Bullet Journal…. and then the heavens did’st open and angels sang a chorus! I am a micro-planner and a compulsive list-maker- to the point of irritation of my husband at times 😉 I also love order and organization, …
