Handmade Monday is a weekly link up for all things handmade. Crafts, decor ideas, recipes are all welcome here, if it’s handmade we are happy for you to share it.

I’m sorry that Handmade Monday is a little late today. I had a lovely day with some family round for dinner and the time just got away from me.

I’ve been taking part in Me Made May over on Instagram. You can join in every day or drop in and out, it’s a pretty relaxed challenge. Some people pledge to wear all handmade every day in May but you can pledge whatever you like. I’m planning to wear at least one handmade thing each day and I’ve been sharing on my Insta stories daily with a round up every 6 days on the grid.

Let’s have a look at the features from last week’s Handmade Monday now. 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.

This Strippy Stairway quilt by Nancy at Grace and Peace Quilting is just beautiful.

I love this tray makeover with birch slices from Saved from Salvage.

I’m putting this octagon bag from Crafty Staci on my ‘to do’ list. I love it!

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
