{5 Lovely Things on Monday}

HAPPY CYBER MONDAY!

    Yes, it's true I was out of the loop last week but even this part-time blogger needs a break from everything to give thanks:)  So I'm sure you're all in full Christmas-planning mode.  You may remember one of the things on my "30 Before 30" list is to give only handmade gifts.  I'm going to do my best to stay true to that this holiday season.  With that said, today I'm featuring some of my favorite crafters & DIY projects.

{1} GUSSY SEWS.
I've mentioned Miss Gussy's loveliness a time or two in the past 
& today she is hosting a great Cyber Monday Deal.
Plus, she has a very inspiring story about how she started her sewing business.

Well...the cat's outta the bag on this one.
Many of you will be seeing these this Christmas season :)
See the link above for info on how to get the DIY pattern.

{3} Adorable Frames
Embroidery hoops are an easy find at your local thrift store & make great frames-
not to mention you can use scraps of fun fabrics for the background!

Ruche's Homemade Holiday Guide

{4} Custom Coasters
A girlfriend of mine made me something similar to this with photos on the tiles.
Whatever you use, they're cute & practical.
