Welcome to Handmade Monday, our 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. This is a great place to find a few new creative ideas and inspiration too.

How has your week been?

I’ve been doing quite a bit of sorting and tidying of my craft supplies. As hard as I try to keep things neat and tidy I swear my stash multiplies whenever I’m not looking and there always seems to be quite a few half finished things spread around the place! I’ve also been doing some tidying up in the garden. We’ve had a very dry spell here and whilst we were away, although our son who still lives at home did a great job of watering the important stuff (ie my tomato plants and the hanging baskets!) a few things were looking very sad and have needed some tlc. The good news in I’ve been enjoying tomatoes like this from my 2 plants all week and there are lots more to come.

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.

Creatively Beth has made this gorgeous banner for Craft Camp - love it!

Hello Sewing makes fluffy reversible bathmats from towels and small amounts of pretty fabric.

White wine Sangria ? Don’t mind if I do! Find the recipe on Pots and Planes.

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
