The Fun In Functional! {Link Party #20}

Welcome to The Fun In Functional, the weekly link party hosted on Practically Functional!

If you’re new here, I throw this party once a week on Wednesdays. It’s a place for you to see some awesome projects and find some inspiration. And if you’re a blogger, you can link up any projects you’ve been working on for the past week and show off your creativity!

Two important notes before we get started today!

First, I updated the Featured button to make it a little less link party specific. Cuz what if I want to feature one of you awesome bloggers in a completely non-link-party-related way?! Anywho, here’s the new button, so grab it if you were featured today. And if you were featured previously, feel free to swap out the old button and replace it with this newer, prettier one!

(In the future you can find this button and any other you may want in the “Grab A Button” tab at the top of the sidebar, or on the Buttons page.)

Second, remember that this party is all about your ideas, tips and tricks, and projects. I want to see things you’ve been working on! So as much as I love giveaways, Etsy shops, other link parties, etc., this is not the place to link those up and show them off. Also, please don’t link up the same post to more than one week’s party; I want to see your newest ideas! Thanks!

Please support the blogging community by clicking through to these projects if you find something that interests you. Your visits are important to the bloggers who share their work here! If you link up to the party this week, comment on a few other blogs as well. There’s no downside to networking with other bloggers and finding new ideas!

Last week’s most popular project was an IKEA desk makeover shared on A Night Owl:

IKEA Desk Makeover – A Night Owl

And here are a few of my favorite projects from last week. Check them out!

Bowl Pincushions – Planned In Pencil

 Look how cute these are! And totally useful too.

DIY Car Seat Cover – Sewing Our Life Together

I love the soft flannel she made this out of, perfect for keeping the baby warm now that it’s getting cold outside!

DIY Bunk Bed Bookshelves – One Creative Mommy

What a great idea for bunk beds! Or anywhere really.

Fettuccine Alfredo & Parmesan Crusted Chicken – Love, Pomegranate House

Yum, I love Alfredo anything!

United Scraps Of America – While Wearing Heels

Look at this AMAZING quilt! She made a map of the U.S. with scraps of fabric!

Fabric Covered Picture Mats – Home Made Modern

How cool is this?! I love the idea of using fabric to decorate a picture mat!

Final Nursery Reveal – The Consigner Designer

Jen has been sharing bits and pieces of this gorgeous nursery for months now, and I’m so impressed with how it all came together!

Congrats everyone! If you were featured, feel free to grab a Featured button from the “Grab A Button” tab at the top of the sidebar!

On to this week’s party!

Just a few guidelines to keep it fun, friendly, and fair:

• Please, no etsy shops, giveaways, link parties, etc. And no posts you have linked up before, we want to see your new stuff!
• Follow Practically Functional so you never miss a party!
• Help spread the news by grabbing a link party button from the “Grab A Button” tab at the top of the sidebar!
• Comment on at least 2 other posts. We all love new visitors, comments, and link party love!
• HAVE FUN!

I will be featuring a few of my favorite projects each week, so by linking up you are giving me permission to do so. Only projects with a link back to this party can be featured. (So grab a button!)

I will also be pinning my favorite projects and features to my Pinterest boards, so be sure to follow along there to see all the crafty goodness. 

Link up any crafts, tutorials, tips and tricks, ideas, recipes, DIY projects (any project really!) that you have been working on recently that you want to share!
