Welcome to another Handmade Monday a weekly creative link up. It’s a chance to be inspired by some lovely creative ideas so grab a drink and enjoy a scroll through.

Not craft related at all but worth a mention, one of my sons did a charity abseil down the side of Coventry Cathedral this week. I’m SO not a thrill seeker and found this quite hard to watch but he loved it! It’s 90ft so like an 8 or 9 story building. Coincidentally this is the part of the cathedral right next to the beautiful baptistry window that inspired the mosaic art I made last year.

Let’s just check out the features from last week’s Handmade Monday now.

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.

Missy from Sonata Home Design has created an autumnal take on a traditional Christmas kissing ball using mini pumpkins and faux succulents.

Lisa from Fresh Vintage by Lisa S has worked her magic yet again and fixed up an old cookery book. Cute and practical!

I often snack on a sliced apple with a dollop of caramel sauce but Organized Island has taken it up a notch with these beautiful looking apple nachos. Yum!

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.
