Happiness Is Homemade Party

Welcome to Happiness Is Homemade Party

Welcome back to Happiness is Homemade! I hope you are having a wonderful Memorial Weekend. We had some well needed rain yesterday. The veggies and flowers loved it. We are having some family for dinner on Sunday and others on Monday. 

Enjoy your weekend and let us remember all of our men and women who gave their lives to depend our country. 


Favorite Features

First I'd like to share this week's features! Thank you to all of you bloggers who share all the wonderful posts we get to read each week!

Janet from A Life of Balance shared a tutorial for this simple patriotic wreath. It seems very easy and quick to put together. She used her Cricut to cut the stars from balsa wood. I haven't tried that yet, but I can't wait to! This wreath is perfect way to greet your guests as you kick off the summer with your patriotic barbeque!

Next Joy from Artful Homemaking brings us a post on deep cleaning your home. She has some great tips and ideas. In her post, Joy shares free printable checklists for when you get down and dirty in your house!

Claire from Pillar Box Blue shared this post on all of the things you can make with old blue jeans.  These ideas look like so much fun. In the article, she tells us exactly how to deconstruct jeans depending on what projects you'd like to make. Some of these are perfect projects to keep your teens busy this summer. They may even be able to sell a few!

This wood tray was shared with us from Tiffany at Tee Diddly Dee. Can you believe this beautiful tray is a DIY?! I thought it was going to be an upcycle (love those too!) or a vignette tutorial, but she hand made this. In the post she shares how to make it, step by step. Since you make it yourself, you can customize it for your home. You could change the size, color, or handles, yet use the same tutorial. I think it's beautiful and would fit perfectly into my house in a medium colored wood stain.

Finally we have Penny's she shed from Penny's Vintage Home. I am in love with the look of this trailer turned she-shed! It has turned out absolutely beautiful. Mr. H cut an old headboard in half, which is what you see on either side of the jut-out. Who would've thought it would look so cute. She repainted the jut-out in light grey with the pink door, and that makes the shed. I love those two colors together. The sunflower theme that runs across the shed is just perfect. If there's A/C, I could just move in!

Now it's time for the link party!

Thank you for joining us this week. We are happy you're here to share your latest posts and to check out the amazing ideas shared by other lovely bloggers! Be sure to visit all of our hostesses blogs, we love when you stop by!

Thursday Favorite Things Party

Welcome to Thursday Favorite Things Party

Thursday Favorite Things. Share NOW. #linkyparty. #TFT #thursdaayfavoritethings #eclecticredbarn

Happy Thursday!  We are finally on a camping trip. It has been two years since our last trip. In 2019 we moved into our new home so we did not go camping and then covid hit. I forgot a few things since it had been so long since we went camping. I did bring enough food however. Thanks what counts!

It is really hot here but there is a slight breeze. Yesterday they launched a rocket for the space center. We sat near the water and watched it go up. It was so cool. What a sight. My first rocket launch.

The dogs had a little bit of time adjusting to being in the motorhome again but are getting used to it. We have several more trips planned so they will be adjusted soon. 

What's the news with you? Hope all is well.

Many of my features come from you my commenters. Don't forget to leave your Linkup Number or Post Title so I can find you and you could become one of my featured commenters next week.

You're The Star - Home Feature Week

Welcome to You're The Star - Home Feature Week

Happy Monday dear friends. I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Can you believe that we are nearing the end of May? Boy has this year gone by fast. June will be here and the kiddos will be out of school. 

Summer seems to be coming in hot up north while we are having very comfortable weather in the mid 80s. This week is going to warm up however and of course we are going camping. Fortunately we will be on the ocean so that should help. 

Have a great week ahead!

Favorite Features

Before we get to this week's party, I'd like to share our featured posts that were shared with us this past week. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. It is almost impossible to choose only five! Keep bringing the heat ladies (and gents)!

Beth from Whispers of the Heart shared a musical tablescape. She created this in memory of her loving mother who played the piano for 66 years before the Lord called her home!  I have no idea where Beth comes up with these beautiful tablescapes, but you must check her out! This is stunning, and I love how the red pops on the black and white.

Next Candice at She's Crafty Crafty showed us how to make a decorative banner flag using an old drop cloth. She has been doing craft fairs and needed a better way to display her store name. Her framed sign kept knocking her in the head, so I see her need to come up with a new display, and quick! There are so many ways to customize this for your needs. It will look great hanging on a wall. She has inspired me to try one of my own, which I will try to share with you this week. Thank you Candice!

Our very own Linda from Labour of Life shared with us these delectable looking milkshakes. Oh my gosh girl! I am trying to lose a bit of weight for swimsuit season, but out that goes! She was looking for ways to bring summer into her life a little faster, and decided what she needed was a little "Summer Lovin' to have her a blast." I know you see what she did there Sandy and Danny fans. This is just what she needed to giver her a little summer blast. You must try her milkshake recipe.

Now we have these adorable boho triangle coasters that were shared by Julie from Julie's Creative Lifestyle. How great are these, lying next to a beautiful succulent? These would go perfect with some macramé hangings on the wall, a few hanging plants woven in macramé. The tassels bring it to another cuteness level! They are all the rage now, so I am definitely going to try to crochet a few myself. Julie was kind enough to share the crochet pattern with us. Thank you, you lovely lady!

I had to choose Debbee's bee wreath and skep, shared from Debbee's Buzz. In this post she gives us not one, not two, but three bee theme wreath instructions as well as bee themed party ideas- games, decor, & food. She has made this her annual "favorite things" party.  Debbee pulled this together while participating in April's Pinterest Blog Hop Challenge, which encourages you to use those pins, not just pin them.

Lemon Blueberry Cream Cheese Cookies

Lemon Blueberry Cream Cheese Cookies

It's blueberry picking time here in Florida. So after picking lots of berries, what should you do? Make some dessert with them, because you have already eaten way too many. I made a coffee cake and some scones and wanted something else - cookies.
