Hi everyone and welcome to another Handmade Monday, our weekly craft and creative link up where craft bloggers can share their handmade projects and tutorials in the link up below and craft enthusiasts can find lots of new ideas and inspiration.

Just a quick warning, there won’t be any Handmade Monday next week. It’s the Easter weekend, which is a long weekend with bank holidays here in the UK. Handmade Monday will be back the following week, the 24th.

I treated myself to some tulips last week and they have been amazing. Standing up straight like I’ve never known tulips to do before! Normally they flop over like mad, I’ve done nothing different so I can’t share any secrets I’m afraid.

Now let’s take a look at the features from last week’s Handmade Monday, just click through on the photos to see the original posts -

• Please remember if you want to pin any of these ideas please make sure you click through via the photo to the original project.

I love these little crochet plant pot covers from The Yellow Bird House.

Pots and Planes call these the best chocolate chip cookies - bold statement! They do look pretty good though so I am planning to try them soon.

Congratulations to you both. There is a "YAY I was featured" button over here if you want to add one to your blog.

A like on social media, a comment or share is an easy way for us all to help to support one another so please do take a moment to visit some of the other projects linked up this week. It’s not mandatory to be able to join in here, there’s no easy way to check if you did but it costs nothing but a few minutes of your time.

The rules for Handmade Monday are very simple:

• Did you make it? Yes - then yay! We'd love to see it

• Add the link to a specific post, not your main blog url

• You can link up to 3 posts each week but try to make sure it's not something that you've shared here before

• Mingle - visit some other links - comment - share - be social

CAN I REMIND EVERYONE THAT HANDMADE MONDAY IS NOT A PLACE FOR SELLING SO NO LINKS TO ETSY OR OTHER SELLING PAGES, THEY WILL ALWAYS BE REMOVED. THANKS
