Hello everyone, it’s time for this week’s Handmade Monday, our weekly link up for handmade ideas, crafts and recipes. Creative bloggers can share their tutorials and projects and we can all check out the ideas and get inspired.

I enjoyed a trip to the Gardener’s World Live show at the NEC on Friday (that’s the same huge exhibition venue where I go to the craft shows a couple of times a year) It’s a spin off from the BBC Gardener’s World TV show and is a mix of show gardens, talks, exhibitions and stalls selling plants and everything gardening related that you can think of. It’s mostly outside and the weather was roasting so we had plenty of breaks throughout the day. I shared more photos and some video on my Instagram if you are interested in seeing a little more.

Let’s take a look at the features from last week’s Handmade Monday. Click through on the photos to see the original posts.

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

South House Designs have made these gorgeous little pots from air dry clay. Diane has used them for tiny succulents so made her pots as water resistant as possible, but you could use faux plants, air plants etc too of course.

Jo from A Rose Tinted World has a free pattern for these sweet mini knot bag keyrings

Wendy at WM House Designs has painted these canvas shoes - what fun.

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 and is just a nice thing to do!

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

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.

At Handmade Monday the links are shown in a random order so it’ll look different each time you pop by.
