There were loads of great ideas, tutorials, recipes and more shared last week. My brain just automatically categorizes everything, just like a big ole file cabinet. Show me a list of anything and I’ll start clumping likes together. That’s the way the features came out this week. You all are so amazing I had to make myself stop at three categories with three each. Thanks for linking to A Busy Monday!
Tutorials
Roman Shade by Sew Passionate begins with how to create a pattern and walks through each step to the completed Roman shade
Free Time Frolics provides a step by step tutorial on how to create a “slip cover” for a rug using fabric.
While Wearing Heels shares the pattern and directions for this adorable hedgehog taggie she created.
Good ideas for better living
Lightly Crunchy has tips on what to do with fresh vegetables to save time and avoid waste.
Thriftiness Miss with seven ideas she found on Pinterest, tried and gave a thumbs up
Repeat Crafter Me leads us through a step by step reorganization for great food storage!
Bonus — yes, this makes 3.5 items for this category but it fits so well. Check out Cornerstone Confessions cleaning closet reorganization too.
Good Eats
Jane’s Adventures in Dinner brought the lemon meringue cupcakes she’s planning for a bridal shower.
Mandy’s Recipebox shared a yummy Sweet and Sour Chicken for dinner.
The Lovely Cupboard has a quick and simple, but oh so delicious Caprese flat bread.
Link as many posts as you like of something YOU created yourself — anything that makes life easier, better or more fun! Remember to link directly to your post.
