A pretty damn awesome present from my friend Erin. Tutorial here. Nothing astounds me more than the kindness and thoughtfulness of fellow bloggers. Every day I feel grateful and bewildered for the friends I've made since starting up this little site. When I moved here to my dinky little apartment in Hong Kong, the ever-lovely Erin sent me the sweetest housewarming gift - this wooden Hogwarts hanging heart.
Like jeez, I seriously regret not bringing my DVDs and book collection with me. I have the most insane Harry Potter memorabilia collection and I'm so sad I had to leave it all behind, but with this hanging heart I get to build up another collection! Hi, I'm an obsessed Hufflepuff. Did I just lose coolness points for admitting to being a Hufflepuff? I don't care, I'm loyal to my clan.
Erin posted a DIY tutorial of how she made this hanging heart and it looks relatively simple if any of you want a go! Head over to her blog here (: she also posts regular fandom DIYs and runs a pretty awesome shop that I've bought from many a time.
