Handmade Monday is a weekly link up for all things handmade. Crafts, decor ideas and recipes are all welcome here, if it’s handmade we are happy for you to share it.

I’m still going with Me Made May over on Instagram, wearing at least one handmade thing everyday and sharing it on my stories. I’ve now discovered that portrait mode on my phone can work wonders so I’m using that more!! I’ve managed almost every day so far so I’m nearly on track. I did miss Friday as we had a memorial event for my dad who died early last year and we weren’t able to do anything except a outdoor burial with 25 people due to the restrictions at the time. I didn’t have anything me made that felt suitable to wear but I’m not going to worry about that. On Friday we were able to have a proper gathering, with lots of family, friend and ex colleagues which was really nice.

Ok, enough about me! Now let’s take a peek at the features from last week’s Handmade Monday. 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.

Nicole from Niwibo made a gorgeous windchime to decorate her garden.

Gail from Purple Hues and me created this beautiful butterfly art from items from the dollar store.

Hello Sewing shows us how to make a rope bowl. I especially love the patches of colour on this one.

Congratulations to you all 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
