The Really Crafty Link Party #255 featured posts!

Hello and welcome! It's Friday already (finally!), which means it's time to post the features of this week's link party!

So without further delay, here are this week's amazing features: 

Cute Cat - free cross stitch pattern

Because everyone loves a cute kitty, right?

Upcycled shorts

This past weekend was raining around here again (it seems this winter we've had nothing but rain), so I decided it was the perfect time to go through my kids' closets. Because well, kids grow and those clothes you've saved from last year? Chances are they won't fit into them again. 

But...some clothes can be made to last a bit longer - just like these shorts. And since spring is almost here, the timing was right to improve them and make sure they can be used again soon 

DIY felt pouch set

Hello, and welcome. Today I'm going to show you to make a lovely felt pouch set. 

One of the pouches closes with a snap, another with a zipper, but both are very easy to make. And go perfectly well together.

So here are this week's amazing features: 

Spring bird - cross stitch free pattern

Because spring is almost here, today I'm sharing with you a perfect little cross stitch project - perfect for the upcoming season.

A Happy Reminder to Smile - with free printable

The past year has taken a toll on our mental health and wellness. As we juggle living and working from home, becoming at-home teachers and other life changes both big and small, it can be easy to let our self-care routines fall by the wayside. 

As stress levels rise, it's more and more difficult to think about carving out time to spend on yourself. But the good news is that you don’t have to completely change your routine to benefit from all that wellness has to offer. In fact, one small way to increase your overall wellness is as simple as smiling. 

DIY Felt Flower Spring Pincushion

This past weekend we finally had a break from the rain and the fog and we started to see the first signs that spring is on the way - so I had to come up with a quick spring project.

I decided a new pincushion was just the perfect idea, especially since it should (hopefully) contribute to a better organisation of my sewing table...

How to Prepare to Move: The Ultimate Checklist (with free printables)

If you’re planning a move, especially if you're moving out-of-state or long distance, it’s natural that your head might be spinning with all the tasks that must be accomplished. 

In order to make the moving process go as smoothly as possible, there are a lot of details to keep straight. Thankfully, you’ll be able to maintain a positive attitude by following a comprehensive yet easy out of state moving checklist that spells out all of the essentials. 

How to Welcome Your New Neighbors During Quarantine - with free printables

Welcoming your neighbors proved to be difficult as we all closed our doors to stay safe and healthy, but it doesn’t make moving to a new place any less difficult. As people flocked to the real estate market thanks to historically low mortgage rates, many of us said goodbye to our old friends and neighbors as new ones moved in. 

Take some time this week to consider how difficult it is to move to a new area in the time of COVID-19 and think of a small welcoming gift to put your new friend’s minds at ease. These 10 gifts are low-effort big impact and will help perk up the new kid on the block as they unpack their many boxes. Grab your gift, then personalize your present with these printable gift tags to welcome your neighbor.

 

DIY love cross stitched bookmarks

If you follow me on Instagram you've provably already seen a few snapshots of these wood cross stitched bookmarks I designed and made for Valentine's Day.
