Hello everyone, it’s Handmade Monday time! I’m so sorry that Handmade Monday is a little late again this week. I was putting up our Christmas decorations and just lost track of time.

Our middle son came home to give me a hand. bless him! He insisted on putting out the nativity he and our daughter made years ago, before their little brother was even born (and our youngest is 24 now!) This year the toilet roll tube nativity has not needed any repairs which is a Christmas miracle in itself!

Anyway, better late than never and with no more ado let’s take a look at the features from last week’s Handmade Monday now.

Me and my Inklings has a great step by step guide to painting these cute gnomes.

Carolyn from Flickensalat designed and made this gorgeous mini quilt, isn’t it beautiful?

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.
