Last month was yet another month full of fun new features and all new makers. We have been receiving so much appreciation and positive feedback, and we genuinely thank you for every word of it. We set out making this whole community to help others and we want to continue to do so, and provide some extra fun on the side. We're just glad it's working and that we are able to showcase so much talent in one location. So thank you - to the makers and supporters for helping to shape the community we thought was just a dream. We appreciate every inch of it and everyone one of you. (Hugs). Now, we'll stop being sappy and share what you may have missed over on Handmade Canada Instagram last month.

Thank you again for all that you do and for supporting a dream. If you ever have any questions or suggestions, please let us know. If you're looking to be featured on our Instagram or blog, check out our features page for all the details and applications - we'd love to have you!

It's feeling like mid July around here and we thought it would be fun to put together a little printable just for summer. We may just have to do a few of these over the next couple of months, as summer time prints are way too fun. We love how bright and cheery they can make your space feel, and this hello sunshine lemon print is no exception. We put this together quickly with lemonade and sunshine in mind.

If you're new around here, we've been trying to offer one free print a month. It's a fun little item that we think will be fun for you to add to your home, office, workspace, wherever you find suitable. If you have any ideas for us to put together, just let us know. We'd love to hear and see what we can do.

How cute are these lemons in the kitchen. So much fun... we love how quick prints can change up a space and for very little money. You can literally print at home, or send to your local printer or Staples and get it printed in larger formats or on heavier stock paper. Either way, slap a quick frame on it and hang or lean it on a wall in your favourite space.

Alright time to get some sunny lemons of your own, click here to download.

Like always - if you use it, let us know. We really love seeing that you enjoy these free prints and put them to good use. Plus we love decor as much as we love handmade items. You can tag us in your images on social media or leave a comment below telling us all about your new prints home. Oh, and be sure to share the fun with your friends, they'll love you for it. Now off to enjoy some of that sunshine, record breaking temperatures and an ice cold glass of lemonade.

We had a beautiful weekend and it got us thinking about Summer being just around the corner. We can't wait - despite a different pace and scenery, it's just nice to finally have some warm weather and to be able to get outside and enjoy it. We thought it would be fun to gather a few DIYs for Summer that are fun for around the home and enjoying the weather that is quickly coming for us. So we took to Pinterest and have gathered seven do it yourself ideas that we think would be fun to try and make hanging out around the home, even more fun this summer.

Ahh... so cute. These watermelon mason jar drinking glass are the cutest and fun for the whole summer. Kara's Party Ideas nailed it, along with a whole fun summer watermelon themed party, with the cutest decorations. Even though large parties may be cancelled, this is too cute not to share and try, just for something fun to do at home on the weekend with family.

Isolation has us spending extra love and attention on the house plants, that dressing them up with a cute macrame hanging planter sounds like the perfect idea. How cute are these? We just love the colours and the simple tutorial. An easy addition to any room or outdoor space that would be summer fun for the summer.

These pillows are all the fun that summer should be. Just look at the different pops of colours and how fun and cheery they look. We can see these hanging out on a cute white accent chair, on an outdoor macrame hammock or even a fun kids space. A cute idea to create a quick summer look. 

We can't wait for summer, to try some of these super fun DIYs, and to create a fun space to hang out in, even if we can't have our friends over for a little bit longer. We hope you try a couple yourself and let us know how they turned out. We'd also love to know what your plans are for this summer - what fun ideas do you have for making the most of it in lockdown? Let us know in the comments below - we'd love to hear from you!

April sure flew by. March felt like it wasn't going anywhere and then April disappears, just like that. We are getting settled into our new for now "normal" and have been trying to get as many features out as possible in our spare time. With that being said, we feel there's a lot to share from the last month that we know you're going to like. Be sure to check them out and show them support when you have a chance, everyone loves a new follower and some social media love.
