Welcome to another Handmade Monday, our weekly link up for all things handmade.

I thought it might be fun to show some of the real life behind the magic here at Sum of their Stories! I was trying to sort out my scrap fabric box, one of those jobs where it all gets a lot worse before it gets better. The problem was I kept finding good stuff and having another idea of what to use it for!

Now 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.

• I love the fact that we have entries to Handmade Monday from all over the world, sometimes this means however that blogs might be in a different language. Just double click to get google translate to pop up so you can understand what is going on :-)

Sandra from Haekelfieber Austria has crocheted this lovely little gift bag with a rose motif.

Elsa from Seizoenen blog has made this super cute clay garland, isn’t it sweet?

Creatively Beth has a really fun St Patrick’s Day project made with felt and lolly sticks.

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.
