Shamrocks and Bunnies on HIH
Shamrocks and Bunnies on HIH
If you missed last week's party, you can check it out here.
This Week's Features
Our own Linda of A Labour of Life shared an adorable DIY St. Patrick's Day pom pom garland that's perfect to decorate your mantle. You can use this tutorial for any holiday. Just change up the colors you use, and you could have an Easter decoration as well!
McDonald's serves a shamrock shake for St. Patrick's Day, and Jen of Cincy Shopper made a copycat shake that looks so delicious! Making your own shakes at home can save you money, and it allows you to customize them with those adorable shamrock sprinkles.
I've been obsessed with finding a small basket to hang on my coffee bar shelf, so when I saw this Easter door basket made by Nicolle at Our Tiny Nest, I fell in love! In her tutorial she shares how to make the fabric carrots as well as a few tips for putting together a pretty basket, so be sure to check it out.
These pedestal birdhouses were transformed into beautiful spring decor by Donna over at An Organized Season. She saw some similar ones while out at an antique show, and her transformation using birdhouses and candlesticks turned out right on par with those! I would love to recreate them for my own spring decor.
Emily of Hunny I'm Home shared how to make beautiful floral farmhouse eggs that won't stain your fingers and you never have to refrigerate. They are easy to make and will look beautiful inside baskets in Easter vignettes!
Thank you for joining us this week. We're happy you're here to share your latest posts and to check out the amazing ideas shared by other lovely bloggers!

St Patrick's Day Ideas on HIH
St Patrick's Day Ideas on HIH
Happy Sunday! I hope your weekend is so far. My daughter and I went to a Vintage fashion show on Saturday. This lady had an exquisite collection of dresses from the 1920s to the 1960s. They were amazing. They had lovely trays of tea sandwiches and desserts. They also had baskets for the silent auction. My daughter won a lovely one all about lemons.
If you missed last week's party, you can check it out here. As always, y'all make it difficult to choose only five happily homemade items! Keep 'em coming because I love looking at what you share each week. Let's check out this week's features!

Halloween Time on Happiness Is Homemade
Welcome to Happiness is Homemade Link Party
Welcome to the party. It is almost Halloween so set up a fun Halloween dinner for your family, create some last-minute decorations, or make some spooky snacks for your child's Halloween classroom party. Let's get into it!
Missed the party last week? Check it out here!
This Week's Features
Patty over at Life is Better Lakeside created this beautiful dancing skeleton tablescape that I think is just fabulous! You have to go over and check it out because there are so many cute things on the table that you just can't see in this photo. Things like skeleton hand napkin rings, different scenes on each bread and butter plate, and serving platters on the ends of the table. Her house is deemed the "skeleton house" in the neighborhood, and I think they named it well!
If you need a quick, easy, and inexpensive treat to send for your child's Halloween classroom party, then these Reese's cup and pretzel witch brooms, made by Jen of Cincy Shopper, are just what you're looking for! Her tutorial shows you how to make these cuties in just a few minutes . There's also a recipe that you can print out and add to your recipe book, but I think once you make these, you'll remember how to do it forever!
This feature isn't Halloween per se, but this Italian sausage in cabernet sauce recipe, by What's Cookin' Italian Style Cuisine, looks like the perfect Halloween dinner to serve your family or party guests! Doesn't it look like fingers?! The post says that you could serve it over rice, pasta, make a sandwich, etc. Check out the recipe to see all the options!
This easy Dollar Tree Halloween wreath made by Emily of Hunny I'm Home is the perfect last-minute wreath for you to make and hang on your door to welcome trick or treaters. It looks super simple, like something you could make in under 15 minutes! All you need is a wreath form, black spider web to fluff the base, black creepy cloth, and embellishments. Check out her tutorial to see how easily put all of this together!
This Beetlejuice gnome Halloween scarf made by T'onna of Sew Crafty Crochet is a great scarf for you to get started on for next year since Beetlejuice 2 will be coming out! It would also be great to wear during your Beetlejuice Halloween family movie night (go all out with food, drinks, decor, games & more). T'onna is always making adorable scarves for every season and holiday, so be sure to check her post out for this tutorial and other great ideas!

Halloween Crafts on Happiness Is Homemade
Welcome to Happiness is Homemade Link Party
Halloween is coming soon and I love fun Halloween decorations. I'm having so much fun visiting all of your fabulous posts. We have some great features for you this week. Enjoy!
Missed the party last week? Check it out here!
This Week's Features
Decorative pillows can be quite expensive, especially holiday pillows. Our own Bev of Eclectic Red Barn made these adorable Halloween pillows using Dollar Tree treat bags, so they were only $1.25! She chose bags made of fabric perfect for outdoor decor. Her tutorial is quick & easy, so be sure to check it out and pin it for later. (Be sure to do that with all of our fabulous features!
This Frankenstein card craft, created by Sam of Simple Everyday Mom, is an adorable idea to create with your kids or even to use in your classroom for our teachers out there! This card would be a great craft to create with your kids for a fun fall afternoon together. You could send them to grandparents, aunts, or friends, and they proudly display them year after year as Halloween decor. I still have cards that my kids made in school or Sunday school that I use as Christmas decorations. I wish a teacher had had either of my kiddos make this Franken-cutie!
Jennifer of Studio 27 came up with the fabulous idea of upcycling a Halloween baking pan that she found at a thrift store into a permanent faux cake decor piece. She used puffy paint so that her Halloween "cake" looks like it actually has icing on it. This is right up my alley since crafting is way more fun for me than baking. I don't think I could make a real cake look this great, lol!
For our last two features this week, I thought I'd bring us a few Halloween adult ideas. Donna of An Organized Season created a Halloween Haunted Mansion themed bedroom which is so cute! She has Halloween decor sprinkled throughout the room, like this apothecary dresser set-up. Check out her full post to see all of the bedroom decor. It's amazing inspiration for your own Halloween bedroom!
Need a little adult beverage for your Halloween party goers, one to liven up the night while handing out candy to trick or treaters, or even one to enjoy in your beautifully decorated master bedroom? Raquel over at Organized Island has the perfect recipe for you- this spooky looking black martini! It might look like something a witch would use to poison her victims, but the ingredients create a delicious concoction everyone's sure to enjoy!
