Hi and welcome to the 52nd Handmade Monday link up here at Sum of their Stories.
Some things are easy to believe and somethings are next to impossible. Can you believe it has been a whole year since I took over the hosting of Handmade Monday from the lovely Vicky of Lucy Blossom Crafts? I know I can't! It's week 52, that's a whole year! (stating the obvious sorry)
I love that we have so many newbies to Handmade Monday who have joined us over the year, and I love that some of you have stuck with us from the days at Handmade Harbour and Lucy Blossom Crafts.
Have you had chance to get your craft on this week. I have had fun with this:
Now let's look at the features from last weeks Handmade Monday:
Chas shared this lovely sunflower wreath made from clothes pegs, isn't it pretty?
Chrissie D showed us a beautiful Highland Cattle Cushion she made using an amazing technique called FPP. Isn't it cool?
It seems I am a sucker for a granny square crochet project, I do seem to choose them a lot as my favourites! Take this banner from Made by Demi, so sweet that I just can't help myself!
Congratulations to you all, here is a "Yay! I was featured" button for your blog.

It’s so sweet, it was my absolute pleasure to pick it out as a feature. I love trying new crochet stitches & patterns but there is a special place in my heart for the humble granny square!
DeleteThanks for running the link party for a year. I guess I am one of the oldies, as I have been linking since it was Handmade Harbour.
ReplyDeleteIt’s been fun, I love that you’ve stuck around with us. I remember than the link ups at Handmade Harbour were where I first found you and your amazing knit patterns & ideas :-)
DeleteThank you for hosting Handmade Monday for a whole year! It's been lots of fun.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sticking with us Caroline, I’ve enjoyed it so it’s nice to hear others have too :-)
DeleteWhat a lovely selection, I love the sunflower!
ReplyDeleteI know! It’s gorgeous isn’t it? I find it so hard to pick features every week, I could easily pick 6 or 7 every week!
DeleteThank you so very much for the feature and thanks for hosting a wonderful place for all of us to share ideas :)
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure Chas, I’m so pleasure you are able to join us regularly:-)
DeleteBeautiful handmades from all the participants one again. Congrats to all! Kisses!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Marilyn, I hope you’ve had a great weekend
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting the fun and enjoy the week!
ReplyDeleteJulie I love that pillow such a cool look. And congrats on your one year with the party. I know it can be so hard (and for me it only gets harder) to pick the features each week. So much talent out there.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary to Handmade Monday! I hope HM will continue as a source of inspirations for us bloggers and crafters.
ReplyDeleteYou know I've been ogling at that Highland cow pillow last week! It's just FAB!! Love the wreath and the granny squares too. I just got my bamboo yarns, I hope I get time to learn more about crochet. Happy Monday!
