Labor Day Craftastic Monday Link Party

I hope everyone starts this week with some well deserved rest & relaxation.  Even though it's a holiday, I've got the party open to show off your crafty stuff this week.

Thanks so much for all the sweet comments on my Tea Party Birthday Party & Viking Baby Hairdo Hat from last week.  It feels great to hear when people like the projects I'm really proud of - it's definite crafter validation!  Lots more fun stuff is coming over the next few weeks, including my featured favorites from the August Craftastic Birthday Link Party.  With the holiday weekend, getting ready for school &  a lot of crafting commitments I'm spread a bit thin, but at least I've got today squared away, right?

Here are a few of my favorites from last week's party:

This cute felted nest from Ellen of Creative Passive,

A gorgeous fairy box tutorial by Frenchy from Le Chateau des fleurs,

And these chocolate box pincushions by Suzy of Suzy's Artsy-Craftsy Sitcom.

Ok crafting superstars I want to see what you have got for us!  If you've created something fun (sewing, baking, decorating, papercraft or anything else crafty), link on up! The rules are simple:

• As long as it's crafty and made by you it's Craftastic. Just add the link to your specific post (not the main page of your blog).
• Include the name of your Craftastic creation, your blog name & a pic of your project.
• Grab my party button & put it on your post or blog to share the party with everyone.
• Check out some of the other great links and share some crafty comment love.

This party is for sharing your own fun craft ideas & homemade projects (not promoting products), so please no giveaways, linking up another party, Etsy shops or online stores.

I leave the party open until 12pm EST Thursday. As usual, at the end of the week I'll be featuring some of my favorite links, so please remember to add the Craftastic party button to your post or blog so I can consider featuring your project:
