Happiness Is Homemade Party

Welcome to Happiness is Homemade! I hope you are having a wonderful weekend so far.  Everyone shared wonderful home decor, crafts and recipes last week, but only 5 are featured each week. Let's end the suspense and get to the features and party!

THIS WEEK'S FEATURES!various handmade crafts

Jenna, from The Painted Apron, upcycled a plastic canister by crafting it in the most amazing way just by using paper and paint. What a gorgeous color combination! She changed her canister from, as she says, "blah to awe!"

Debbee, from Debbees Buzz, hand painted champagne flutes with tropical birds for a wedding gift. I'm sure her gift recipient was thrilled with her artistic talent. Follow her tutorial to see how easily you can hand paint your own glasses!

Last week, Haekelfieber-Austria shared her crocheted chili peppers with us from her "Big Food Series." These colorful crocheted veggies are absolutely adorable! Follow her series posts as she shares the patterns to make these cuties.

Marsha, from The Little Yellow Corner Store, showed us her collection of seasonal porch decor. Her "bees and sunflowers" themed decor she uses for spring really caught my eye. I'm in love with her handmade sunflower pillow!

Welcome to Thursday Favorite Things Party

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

Happy Thursday dear friends. Well I have good news to report. Hubby got his bandages off on Wednesday. I must admit, it looks terrible but the doctor seems to think it will help good although the verdict is still out on the thumb nail. Also, the end of his index finger is black and he has no feeling in it. 

We are worried about it but the doctor said not to. Wait and see what happens. He will get his stitches out next Thursday. 

Thank you so much for all of your kind wishes and warm thoughts. I appreciate it so much. 

I am actually heading to Pittsburgh today since it is my Mom's 97th birthday. She is so excited that I am coming, me too. 

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

Making a Nest in a Bird Cage

Making a Nest in a Bird Cage

Spring is in the air and that means that the birds are making nest for their babies. We have had so much fun watching the little wrens make a nest in our garage. 

I had this bird cage that needed some work so I put it on a shelf in our garage. I laid it on its side because it was to tall to sit up. As I was outside the garage, working on something else, I kept seeing this wren flying in and out of my garage. There were two of them and they were crying leaves and twigs. so I began to look to see where they were making their nest. (This is not the first time they have made a nest in my garage)

As I was looking around, I saw the wren fly into the bird cage. The door was somehow open and they just hoped in side.  You can see the bird just beginning to go into the cage.

Welcome to Thursday Favorite Things Party

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

Happy Thursday dear friends. What an Easter we had. Not all good. Hubby and I were working on building a console table for my daughter on Friday and he was cutting down 2 pieces of wood on a table saw. He cut the first one and was just finishing the second one and I said, get your fingers away from the side, use the piece of wood to guide it. And then it happened, the piece jumped and hit his thumb and index finger. Blood was everywhere and we headed to the emergency room. 

Five hours later, they stitched his index finger but there was no sink left to stitch his thumb. They bandaged them and we finally went home. On Tuesday, he meet with a hand specialist. He said he was lucky. It took the tips off both but thought they could heal without plastic surgery. We won't know for sure, until next week when they take the stitches out and see how they are doing. It was on his left hand so he does have use of his right hand. He had a tough weekend but he is doing better. Not as painful now. It was scary, but grateful it was not worse.  He still has a long way to go. 

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

You're The Star - Creative Feature Week

Welcome to You're The Star - Creative Feature Week


Happy Monday! I hope you had a wonderful weekend. This month is flying by, with us almost in the middle of the month. Spring is in the air. I have birds making nest in my garage and trying to make a nest in the grill of my car. Silly birds. I had to put a towel over the grill to keep them out. 

Have a great week ahead!

No Bake Lemon Peep Cake

No Bake Lemon Peep Cake

As you prepare for Easter dinner, it is always nice to be able to make a dessert that you can make the day before and it doesn't need to be baked.  Layers of vanilla cookie crumbs, fluffy cream cheese mouse and creamy lemon pudding add up to one scrumptiously delicious "cake" that needs no baking.
