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

I’ve spent the day at the Creative Craft Show at the NEC Birmingham. Such a fun day with lots of creative workshops plus a little light craft supply shopping! I got to try out some beading, lino cutting, needle felting and freestyle embroidery which were all so enjoyable.

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 really love the fact that we have entries to Handmade Monday from all over the world, what a wonderful way to connect us all. However sometimes this means 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 :-)

Steph Creates shared this lovely floral vase wall decoration, made by upcycling with small sized glass jars.

Lyjo Lelijo has created this lovely crochet mandala pattern that only uses simple stitches making it a good choice for beginners.

Fresh Vintage by Lisa S made this useful caddy entirely from wood scraps.

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.
