Hello everyone, and welcome to Handmade Monday. Handmade Monday is our weekly link up for handmade ideas, crafts and recipes. Creative bloggers can share their tutorials and projects and we can all check out all the ideas and get inspired.

I’ve been continuing to work on my latest crochet blanket this week, it’s coming along nicely now. I’ll make 4 more squares to make it a square, add a border of some sort, depending on how much yarn I have left and then it will be done.

Let’s check out 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.

Ann from The Apple Street Cottage made this gorgeous wreath with dried milkweed pods. I confess I’d not heard of milkweed and had to look it up, but now I am fully informed I’ll be looking out for it!

Oh Clary has shared this sweet pumpkins made from foam clay.

Laurie and Laura, the Grands from Our Grand Lives have LOADS of brilliant fun art ideas for children of all ages.

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.
