I am so blessed to be a part of a number of crafting communities that help with networking and growing small businesses. I can’t say enough great things about the crew at Craft Junkies<\/a> or the ever encouraging Cody at Daft Crafts<\/a>. In an effort to help use my blogging powers to give back to the handmade community that I love so much we’re adding a weekly link up to share our wares.<\/p>\n

Made of Heart is the exploration of the love that goes into creating handcrafted pieces. You can follow our special board<\/a> on Pinterest. Link below and you could be featured next week. This week I randomly choose some of my favorite items.<\/p>\n

Everyone knows I’m a sucker for reusable items and I just have to add a set of these unsponges by Nature Junkie<\/a> to my paperless kitchen. Visit their Facebook page<\/a> to find out about stockings and see their other handy items.<\/p>\n

I’m spending a little more time in dollyland these days. I’m so longing to add to my collection like this sweetheart from\u00a0Mishka7716<\/a>. I love the ears and the little round face.<\/p>\n
