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 took a quiet moment on Tuesday afternoon to do this little flowery doodle. Tuesday was my birthday so apart from a very small amount of work first thing I mostly had a relaxing day. A few friends came over for a cuppa in the morning and then in the evening we went for a meal with the family. My husband really went all out with a birthday cake and made this Chocolate and Orange beauty. He’s always enjoyed baking but his makes usually fall into the “taste better than they look” category. He’s been working on refining his presentation skills recently though and I am here for it!

I’m still ploughing on with Me Made May on Instagram, May has never felt like such a long month!!

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.

Love this super cute shrinky charm bracelet from Artsy-Fartsy Mama.

Andrea from Naehbegeisterte shared some pages from her beautiful bullet journal. Some of her doodled flowers are similar in style to mine - that’s probably why I like it so much!

Allyson from Southern Sunflowers decorated a plain wooden tray with some fun cupcake fabric and a sweet paint design. It couldn’t be more cute!

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

If you are not sure of anything more details can be found here
