Summer Citrus Gnome Cross Stitch Pattern

Hello, and welcome!

I know it looks like I'm kind of doing this backwards, but after the Fall Gnome and the Coffee Gnome, today I bring you the Summer Gnome, one of the latest additions to my Etsy shop.

Welcome to The Really Crafty Link Party #328!

Hello and welcome to this week's link party! I hope that you've had a lovely weekend and that now you're ready to show us all your latest projects!

Share all your wonderful crafts to the party and try to visit at least a couple of other posts and/or leave a nice comment on other people's creations. Also if you can, help spread the word on social media - the more, the merrier!

As usual, the party will be open until next Thursday, and I will be posting the features here on the blog on Friday, August 19th.

Please note that afterwards the party will be on "vacation" for a couple of weeks while I take some time off with my family. We'll be back on September 5th. 

My Amazon Finds #14 - back to school favorites

Hello, and welcome! It's been a while since I've shared one of these posts, but I'm back here today to show you some of the items I ordered for our back-to-school season.

A lot of materials will be reused from the last school year, and larger items (backpacks, lunch bags, etc) I already got locally. But some smaller items are actually cheaper bought online, and besides there are many more alternatives to choose from.

Chores Chart for Kids - free printable

Now that the summer break is almost over and school is starting again soon, it's the perfect time to create a chores schedule for your kids (if you don't have one already) or to go back to the school year routines (if your kids were already on board with them). 

This free chores chart printable is a great way to help kids to be more organised and also to encourage them to contribute to all the tasks that have to be done at home, teaching them valuable life skills at the same time.
