Welcome to Friday Five Finds where I share a collection of five creative ideas for a handmade home that I have discovered online. This is a brand new series where I will share my five favorite crafting, recipe, sewing, and all things handmade that have inspired me. Maybe they will inspire you to craft a handmade home!

I often times run across ideas or purchase a new product that I just love. I sometimes share these finds with you, but more often than not, I don't. So, I want to change that. To me, it's like having a conversation with a good friend.
So, without further ado, let me share my latest Friday Five Finds with you.

Friday Five Finds #001
A collection of my favorite Friday Finds. You'll find creative ideas that have inspired me enough to want to share them with you!
Fair and Square Bag Pattern
This is a PDF pattern from Rosie Taylor Crafts on Etsy. It was a fun sewing project that I was able to customize for my granddaughters.
Finished size (approximately): 10''W x 10''H x 3''D
Nana Basketball Shirt
Show your team spirit with this Nana Basketball Shirt from Mommy Makes Gifts on Etsy. I ordered this shirt to wear to our granddaughters basketball game. She loved it! She carries designs for different sports and different names, such as Nana, Grandma, Mimi, etc.
The Paper Piecers
Have you been wanting to learn more about Foundation Paper Piecing (FPP)? Well, Liza Taylor from Liza Taylor Handmade has a membership called The Paper Piecers. It really is a fantastic way to learn how to FPP.
In fact, I joined The Paper Piecers and found it a great community and fun way to learn more about FPP. Liza not only provides you with FPP patterns, but projects that you can sew to incorporate your ew FPP blocks into. Check it out!
Keto Stuffed Peppers
These keto stuffed peppers are filled with ground beef, ricotta, spinach, and cheese. It's a fabulous way to enjoy stuffed peppers without all the carbs!
Did I mention the peppers have spinach in them? Such a great way to incorporate spinach into your diet. In fact, when I made these stuffed peppers (twice now), my husband never noticed the spinach!
Honey Beer Bread Recipe
I hade forgotten how good Beer Bread is and just how easy it is to make. This bread is really a quick bread and goes really well with soups and stews. Give it a try! You won't regret it!
Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by and read Friday Five Finds episode #001. I am planning to make this at least a monthly feature here on The Birch Cottage blog. If you have a favorite find that you'd like to share, be sure to leave it in the comments and I might share it in future episodes. Plus, it's great to share creative ideas amongst friends!
