First off, Craft Buds is joining The Ultimate Blog Party (April 1-8), and you should too! Lots of prizes for linking up your blog in one of many categories (mom blogs, specialty blogs like crafting, business blogs, etc.).

For those of you visiting from the party, Craft Buds is a place with weekly craft and sewing tutorials, fresh ideas for promoting and running your handmade business, and (my favorite) a weekly linkup of craft supplies or handmade giveaways!

Each week, we also highlight some of the freshest handcrafted items and ideas from our blog hopping, and that’s what you’ll see here today. These “fresh picks” are selected by the editors, and you can submit your project for consideration. And without further ado, this week’s fresh picks!

Magazine Rack Transformation
What a Rack: A fresh coat of spray paint transformed this old-school magazine rack into something spectacular at Stop Staring and Start Sewing.
Tutorial at Happy Clippings

Spring Has Sprung: Celebrate April by getting your flower vases ready for fresh-cut blooms. Tutorial at Happy Clippings.

S'more Bread Pudding

S’more, Please: Sometimes a recipe just doesn’t cut it. Sometimes, you need to see the finished product. Thanks to Colleen at Freaked out ‘n Small for this delicious teaser and recipe review.

Sis Boom Jamie Dress

Make This Dress:
Get ready for spring with Sara at Sew Sweetness, who is hosting a sew-along to make this cute dress! You can still join in, and even order the pattern at a discount if you visit her blog by today (April 1). There are even prizes for a few lucky participants.
Giveaways Roundup
If you haven’t stopped by, make sure you check out the Craft Buds Giveaway Roundup, with 20 current giveaways to enter! It’s updated each week, and you are always welcome to link up your craft supplies or handmade giveaways.

Lindsay

Hi, I’m Lindsay Conner, an author, modern quilter, editor, and founder of the Lindsay Sews blog. I’m a Baby Lock ambassador and Stash Books author who loves writing modern sewing and quilt patterns for beginners and weekend sewists! I live in Indianapolis, Indiana with my husband, son, and two loveable cats, Murph and Chloe. I’ve been crafting for as long as I can remember. As a kid, I saved my dollar bills for trips with my mom to Jo-Ann Fabrics, where I’d find new floss for friendship bracelets or mini cross-stitch kits. Because my mom has always shared my love for crafting, she bought me my first sewing machine, a Hello Kitty Janome.

    Hi Lindsey, thanks for dropping by from the party! I am finding so many great ideas on your new blog and I love the design! I also was over at Lindsey Sews and I’m quite sure I’ve been over there before from blog hopping, your header looks awfully familiar. That magazine rack is so cute!!! I have tried thrifting before but have yet to find something so awesome to upcycle. I just love it in pink! I’m excited to stop back frequently for inspiration!
