Welcome to another Handmade Monday. This is our weekly creative link up. It’s time to be inspired by some lovely creative ideas so grab a cuppa and enjoy a scroll through.

We don’t have a massive garden with lots of space for growing food but we do have a bit of an outdoor space and this spring I got a couple of large trough type planters so I can grow some veg. My tomato plants have done really well and we’ve had just enough late summer sun to ripen them nicely. Happy days!

Let’s just 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.

Creatively Beth has decorated a paper mache pumpkin with a pretty lace doily, isn’t it lovely?

Stephanie from Crazy Little Love Birds revamped a metal truck she’d used previously, and gave it a whole new autumnal look.

Wendy from WM Design House has called this project “how to build a garden bench from old doors” but this bench is SO much more than just a bench - it’s a work of art! A gorgeous covered bench that looks like a perfect place to stop for a cuppa, I wish I could pop round and join Wendy right there!

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.
