I'm so thrilled to present the 4th Annual Handmade Holiday Gift Guide. Every year I host a link up for shops and handmade artists to promote their wares in preparation for the holidays. I love giving and receiving handmade items. If you're looking for unique gifts, I hope you'll consider supporting handmade and these shops.

SHOW & TELL: How to Add Fall Accents to you Home
Fall is almost officially here.In some areas it’s still hot and very
summer-like and in other areas the temperature is dropping rapidly. I happen to
live in an area that will be warn for a few more months. It’s hard to get into
the fall leaves and soup mode when you’re still wearing shorts. So in case
you’re like me and need an extra push to start feeling fall, I’ve rounded up
some of my favorite fall | autumn projects from my archives.

Show & Tell: 2015 Top Favorite Projects
Hello friends. I'm traveling for my day job this week so I thought this would be a great time to share my favorite projects from 2015. I've been blogging here since 2010 and it's always fun to scroll through the posts from the past year and pick out a few favorites. Of course, as each year ends, the first thing I think is... wow, this year flew by. I'm looking forward to another year sharing creativity with you here on homework.

SHOW & TELL: 2nd Annual Handmade Holiday Link Up
Welcome to homework's second annual Handmade Holiday link party. Throughout the year, the majority of link parties welcome crafts, diy, recipes, decor and other creative projects but often ask that you refrain from linking your shops. Now it's your turn to market your handmade shop or handmade item with the chance to be featured in a Holiday Gift Guide that I will put together from selected link ups.

Show & Tell: homework round up: 2012 favorites
I’m jumping on the year-in-review round up post like so many other bloggers out there. I didn’t want to title mine “Best Of” or “Top Projects” because I’m not sure what those are. Since I make a wide range of projects, best can be easiest, or most delicious or prettiest.
So, when I went through my archives from 2012, I chose the projects that made me happy. I hope you enjoyed the projects that I shared here at homework during the last year and this little recap of happy projects.
Thank you again for visiting my tiny little corner of the creative world. I’m looking forward to sharing with you in 2013!
1. Lace Bottle: A recycled glass bottle covered in cotton lace becomes a pretty vase – perfect for wedding centerpieces or luncheons. 2. Valentine Twig Arrows: Twigs with felt arrow tips and feathers are a fun way to send a Valentine. 3. Crepe Paper Jellyfish: A fun project for kids or for an under-the-sea party theme. 4. Candy Cane Sugar Cubes: Use up leftover holiday candy canes and make homemade sugar cubes.
So, when I went through my archives from 2012, I chose the projects that made me happy. I hope you enjoyed the projects that I shared here at homework during the last year and this little recap of happy projects.
Thank you again for visiting my tiny little corner of the creative world. I’m looking forward to sharing with you in 2013!

Above: handmade business cards all ready to be sent out with thank you notes or shop orders.

Show and Tell: chocolate, chocolate, chocolate

I must have been craving chocolate when I was deciding what to share with you for Show and Tell this week.
My first stop was The Answer is Chocolate. Carol at The Answer is Chocolate made these beautiful chocolate covered strawberries and cookies.
The Answer is Chocolate is great source for chocolately goodies and recipes but also wonderful crafts.

Check out these chocolate covered oreos. They’re little works of art. You can find these at Shindigs Parties to Go.
Suzy over at Suzy’s Sitcom made a zero calorie chocolate pincushion. They look good enough to eat!
I'm amazed at these lattice chocolate cups from Childmade. They are so pretty with the fresh fruit and don't look too difficult to make.
Also, since there’s fruit involved, the chocolate calories don’t count. This is definitely on my summer list.

Show and Tell: pretty crocheting


![]() |
| Photo courtesy of Ohdeedoh |
I may have mentioned this before but one area of crafting that I haven’t tried is crocheting. I love the look of crocheted items and I’m planning to try it one day.
A reader of this blog sent me this book on crocheting. Isn’t that the sweetest! She discovered through an email exchange that I wanted to learn to crochet and thought of me when she saw this booklet “99 Granny Squares to Crochet.” Thanks Kai!

I’m a big fan of the blog Creative Jewish Mom. Sara has creates beautiful projects and makes beautiful crocheted items. Isn’t this bunting amazing?
And this is pure genius. Care tags and extra yarn for your homemade crocheted gifts.

I love these African Flower Granny Squares from Craft Passion. I’m adding these to my “learn to crochet to-do list.”
If you have any crocheting tips you can offer me – please let me know. Wish me luck.
