How's your week been? Have you had time for any crafting? I received a skein of the most beautiful yarn from EasyKnits.co.uk, so I've been balling it up and testing it out with some samples squares.
Now onto the features from last week's Handmade Monday.
Vicky and her family made this lovely pebble wall hanging after a day out together. what a great way to involve everyone and make something beautiful too.
Lina from Sew Historically made her own stamps with nothing more than a scrap of craft foam and an old cork. I'm a sucker for keeping corks, they look like they are going to be useful so I have quite a tub full now and this is such a versatile idea.

ReplyDeleteHi Julia, I haven't been about for a while and this is my first time on your Linky Party, I managed to find my way over from Victoria's Place :)
Hi,I'm so pleased you been able to find us here, it's so lovely when 'old' Handmade Mondayers join us - feels like old times!
DeleteI have tubs of corks, bottle caps and the wooden caps that come with tequila bottles, all just waiting for the right craft to come along!
ReplyDeleteI'm the same Susan, that's why this make you own stamps idea appealed to me so much. They really are too good to just throw away aren't they?!
DeleteThanks for hosting! I've not had a good couple of weeks, but I'm finally back to my embroidery! Yay!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back Caroline, sorry you've not been having a great time, hopefully things are improving for you. Time with your embroidery has to be a good thing, right?
DeleteLove the look of that wool and the pattern you are doing is so pretty
ReplyDeleteThanks Caroline, I'm pleased with my samples and have started the "real thing" now. The wool is just a delight to work with, I'm loving it.
DeleteOooo...YARN-IN-THE-MAIL!

Exactly, the postman doesn't get to deliver much more welcome parcels than that right, I nearly snatched it out of his hand!
DeleteI have to check out the cork and craft foam stamp. Thanks for hosting, Julie.
ReplyDeleteLooks good doesn't it - simple but fun. Thanks for joining in this week Pam, always a pleasure to see you :-)
DeleteThanks for featuring my cork & craft foam stamp! :D
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure Lina, it seems a lot of us find corks too useful looking to throw them away!
DeleteYay! So glad I found this link. I've just restarted blogging and have tonnes to share in the future. I love looking through what everyone else has been making for some inspiration
