All About Decorating on TFT

Welcome to Thursday Favorite Things Party

Sorry about the inlinz code. I was busy all day and didn't see the update until now!

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

Happy Thursday friends.  I am still working on my daughter's house. She came home so she has been helping. We should finish this weekend. It's heard to get things done since she works from home and I hate to interrupt her. 

I took today off to spend with the puppies. They are growing so much and love attention. The older they get, the more trouble they get into, although they are learning some commands. At least they know their name. Cleo loves to play fetch but not Antony so much. They have such unique personalities. 

Hope you like all of the dips on today's party!

We are so glad you are here! So, what have you been up to this summer? We've been having some extremely hot weather here in central Florida and some serious rainy weather.

Creative home improvements certainly will appear that are awe-inspiring. Family fun ideas are the best - we can hardly wait to see them!

It Is All About Dips on Thursday Favorite Things

Welcome to Thursday Favorite Things Party

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

Happy Thursday friends.  Well, I missed adding the party link up last week and I am still in house redo work. On top of all that, hubby left today for 2 weeks. He left me with 6 dogs (2 are puppies) and a cat. I get my steps in without having to work out.  My daughter will be home on Saturday so I will be down to 4 dogs. Wow, that seems like such a luxury. It's the little things that make me laugh. 

Hope you like all of the dips on today's party!

Some DIY on Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop

Welcome to Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop!

Happy Wednesday! I hope you are doing well. I must admit that I am tired. My daughter is out of town and it is time to get some work done at her house. She is getting it ready to sell. It is hard to help with projects since she works from home and we can't distract her. The projects are going well but I keep finding new things to do. I only have one week, so I am busy and tired. 

Have a great rest of your week.

We have some great features for you this week, I hope you check them out. Please link up your wonderful posts.

Welcome to Happiness Is Homemade Party

Happy July and welcome to this week's Happiness is Homemade link party! Wow, the ideas you all come up with are so amazing. Wait till you see our features!

HIH collage July 16

Selecting featured posts is hard. So many great ideas come our way every week. This week we have a diverse selection of a crocheting tip, yummy pineapple pie, tangy Asian style burgers, floral beauty and a nifty DIY wooden welcome sign project that you can make yourself! So, before we start this week's party, let's take a look at them!  

 Featured Posts 

flower gardens

One of the best things about summer is outdoor floral beauty. Comfort Spring Station depicts a number of gorgeous floral displays in her Nashville June Gardens post, which she shared at last week's party with us.

 

Teriyaki burgers with Asian coleslaw

Ooooh. Do you love hamburgers? Well this little recipe has a special twist! Premeditated Leftovers blog shared the recipe for these yummy Teriyaki Burgers with Asian Coleslaw and I can hardly wait to try them! Yum!

 

crocheting tips

Don't you just love the sharing of wisdom on the internet? People come up with so many helpful hints and tips. Eye Love Knots has one of her own. In this post she tells us how to add a new ball of yarn when yours runs out. I cannot tell you how much I needed this way back when I had time to knit and crochet!  

pineapple pie slice w cherry on top

This scrumptious homemade pineapple pie comes to us from none other than Fat Dad Foodie! I love dessert recipes that are super tasty but oh, so easy to make. This would be one of them!

 

wooden Home welcome sign

This wooden welcome Home sign was made by Stephanie ant Steph Creates blog. She takes you step by step through the process so that you can make your own DIY Wooden Hanging HOME Sign, too!

Yum Yum on Thursday Favorite Things

Welcome to Thursday Favorite Things Party

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

Sorry guys, I forgot to add the link party. I am loosing it!

Happy Thursday friends.  We are having a crazy week. My daughter is in the process of getting her house ready to sell. It is just the little things, but they add up. We can't get the yard done since we are having so much rain. 

On top of everything, she is babysitting her friends dog for a week. That makes 7 dogs all together. 

I have made some pillows and have covered a couple of bench cushions. 

Hope you like all of the yum yum on today's party!

Home Ideas on Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop

Welcome to Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop!

Happy Wednesday! I hope your new week is going well. Hubby was in West Virginia and tried to get home last night but couldn't. He slept at the airport and came home today. 

The weather has been nice but very rainy. Even on the way to the airport, I could barely see the road. Afternoon storms are usually here. 

Although it is nothing compared to Vermont. My son lives there but his house has not been affected by all of the rain. Their town, Montpelier is flooded. It is so sad. My daughter was to fly up there tomorrow but the road to the airport is closed. 

Some crazy weather. I hope you are good.

Have a great rest of your week.

We have some great features for you this week, I hope you check them out. Please link up your wonderful posts.

Edible Goodies on Happiness Is Homemade

Welcome to Happiness Is Homemade

Happiness is Homemade features collage July 9

How is your summer going so far? We had a great 4th of July with perfect sunny weather and lots of outdoor fun. Finally a few days later the rains came, which we surely needed, but I am so glad that it held off for the official holiday. Last week our Happiness is Homemade party guests came up with some very yummy recipes so three of our features this week are edible! I have to say that the cute teddy bear beach cookies are my favorite ... I can picture children having so much fun making their own cookie creation! Which feature do you like the best? Tell us in the comments.  

Happiness is Homemade Featured Posts of the Week

A Dedicated House shares with us the Top Trends in Architectural Woodworking in this really informative post. Aren't these entryways pretty? It is amazing how an arched doorway can make a hallway look so elegant.    

beach cookies with teddy bear cookies

Here are the little "teddy bear on the beach" cookies I was telling you about. Aren't they adorable? They would be so perfect for a children's party or as a food craft in school! Hunny I'm Home DIY blog created them.  

Frito corn salad

Some delicious recipes are just so easy to make and this Frito Corn Chip Salad by Crystal & Company is one of them! This family favorite can be served as an appetizer or side dish.

This spiral apple bread is a real eye pleaser, don't you agree? It looks so delicious and really pretty, too!

Home Ideas on Happiness Is Homemade

Welcome to Happiness Is Homemade Party

Welcome, this week's Happiness is Homemade Link Party is number 486. What that number means is that we have hosted 486 weeks of parties. Our party may be one of the longest lasting online blog parties ever: over 9 years!!! I believe that one of the explanations for its longevity is that the bloggers who visit us share top quality posts that are of great interest to you, our readers. We are consistently able to showcase the best recipes, crafts, home décor inspiration, DIY projects, mom-tips, family fun and more because of their experience and hard work!
