Welcome to another Handmade Monday, our creative link up. I’m back from my holiday and ready to browse and be inspired by some lovely creative ideas here at Handmade Monday again this coming week.

I was also lucky enough to visit a local lavender field one day last week, it was so beautiful. The field is only open to visit for about 6 weeks a year for visitors and then they harvest the flowers and make lavender oil for a whole range of lovely products. The smell was just as gorgeous as the look too.

Before we get started with this week’s link up let’s just check out the features from time’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.

Joy from Joy’s Jots Shots and Whatnots has been knitting dish cloths from an old pattern, I always think it’s lovely when an old pattern is passed on and not lost.

I’m not gonna lie, I eat vegetarian food about 70% of the time, only having meat or fish 3 or 4 times a week maximum but this chicken burger by Homemade on a Weeknight had my mouth watering so much I had to stop writing this Handmade Monday and get our dinner on the go!

Claire from Pillar Box Blue has shared another of her lovely drawing tutorials. This time for one of my favourite flowers, sunflowers.

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.
