Craft Schooling Sunday: International blog Linking Party!

 
Hi Friends, can you believe it's Sunday already? I wish time would slow down just a bit, but I do look forward to this day of the week, when I can let you, the amazing crafters from around the world, be the teachers and share with us your latest creations!

So far our party is a rather small gathering, but I'm so proud to say that all those who posted last week linked to really nice projects, and I'm so honored to be able to feature some of them! So here they are, and please continue on below to link up to something you'd like to share this week!

Introducing children to embroidery and sewing is a popular topic this winter, and here are two really nice projects, that I'd like to do with my kids. On the left, from an American family living in Italy, a nice free form embroidery project on felt which mom then made into cute decorations, and on the right felt hearts are sewn into mice!

As most of you know, I have a soft spot for recycling crafts, so this bottle cap hot plate really caught my eye. Now I regret throwing out that collection of bottle caps that I just couldn't save anymore for lack of a project!
On the right, another embroidery project that's popular right now, making an embroidery of your child's drawing. Such a sweet idea, and Kami did a really nice job with this one!

I just love these germ-fighting placemats that mom wraps around her son's food container and secures with an elastic loop and cute button. And she decorated them with fabric paint and the backs each have a different cute patterned fabric! Paola, from South Africa, posted two very cute packaging projects that would also be great for Purim. I was thinking that a large version of the chinese takeout, template here, would be a great box if you wanted to make those placemats as a gift, and the little treat box, template here, would be a great birthday party favor as well.

And now, let the party begin! For those of you who are new, you'll have to click on "get your free Mcklinky" to register on their website first.
