Well, it is the last weekend in June. The summer is going by too fast already. The 4th of July will be celebrated in a few days and we have picked some great red, white and blue projects to share. Check out notes from Carol below:

It's hard to believe that this is the last weekend in June. 2019 is halfway over. This week's Happiness is Homemade Link Party 277 brings the first half of the year to an end. With 4th of July less than a week away, we are all about celebrating the red, white and blue. This week's link party is my last to hostess for quite awhile. I have thoroughly enjoyed  visiting your amazing creativity. I'd love for you to be one of them. Katie of Love My Messy Messy Mess takes over hostessing duties for July. So, have a wonderful 4th of July, be safe, fly your flag, and enjoy this week's features.

Welcome to Happiness Is Homemade!

Summer is officially here and Florida has certainly feels like summer, hot and steamy. Today was 95 with a heat index of 107. Now that is hot. We are off with a bang! Yikes! Is it summer where you are?
Check out the message from this months hostess:

Hello and welcome to Happiness is Homemade Link Party 276. We've made it through Father's Day and the summer solstice. Our lovely spring and early June turned into a hot, humid mess this week. It was a good time to spend the afternoons inside scrolling through all the wonderful ideas everyone has shared. My older daughter and granddaughters arrived on Wednesday, my son and son~in~law flew in for the weekend on Friday, so we have had a full house, lots of wet beach towels, bowls of cereal, popsicle sticks, and a grand time. The girls stay through Friday and we have lots of activities planned. Hope you are enjoying your summer and love sharing your favorite projects with us here at Happiness is Homemade.

Welcome to Happiness Is Homemade!

Can you believe that it is the 1st of June? Wow, this year is almost half over. I heard that there is 207 days until Christmas! Oh no, summer hasn't even started yet. Let's think summer and just enjoy!

Carol is our hostess this month, see her comments below.
I lied ~ well, not intentionally. Last week I told you that it was my last week to be hostess. Then I was reminded that I am also hostess for the month of June. (Do I hear a woo~who or groans?) So here, I am ~ back as your hostess for Happiness is Homemade Link Party 273.  We hope everyone had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend. Now we turn our attention to summer and all the activities ahead: summer entertaining, camp, the lake, the beach, picnics. Father's Day is in 2 weeks. Then July 4th is in a little more than 5 weeks. O.K., I'm getting ahead of myself. Let's enjoy the first week of June.

It's Memorial Weekend and I hope you are having a relaxing and wonderful time especially with an extra day off.

So while you are enjoying your activities and cook-offs, please take a moment to thank those who served. Check out some comments from Carol:

Welcome to our Memorial Day weekend and our Happiness is Homemade Link Party 272. We hope that you are enjoying this special holiday of remembrance for those who have served our country.

Happiness Is Homemade

Welcome to Happiness Is Homemade!

I am enjoying my visit to Pittsburgh to watch my grandson play in a hockey tournament. Although I have seen him play before, it was a special treat for my mother. She turned 94 at the end of April and I wanted her to see her great grandson play. She has never seen a hockey game and she was so excited to see him play. When the game ended, she said, "it's over already, I was just getting into it".

I also too my younger sister to the game so it was a nice family get together. We all went out for lunch later and had a wonderful visit.
Check in with Carol below for this weeks comments about the party.

Happy Mother's Day! and Welcome to 

Happiness is Homemade Link Party 270

I am so delighted that you are taking a moment out of your Mother's Day to spend a few moments at our party. I hope you have an awesome day and do something to spoil yourself, or that special someone. 

Carol has picked this weeks features so check them out and see her comments below.


It's Mother's Day and if you are a mom, a mom~to~be, have a mom or a grandmother, favorite aunt, or know someone who acts as a mom, we at Happiness is Homemade Link party 270 hope that you are having a marvelous day. This week I shared the mother's day cards I made for my grandkids to give to their moms. You might like to PIN it for next year. Spring has settled in and we love the blooming flowers everywhere (not the pollen and allergies!). I'm so excited to be hostess for the rest of the month of May. I always think of May flowers and showers, the May pole, and the lusty month of May (from Camelot).
"It's May, it's May, that gorgeous holiday.
That lovely month when everyone goes blissfully astray Tra la, it's here, that shocking time of year When tons of wicked little thoughts merrily appear."
You all made it so hard to pick a few featured posts. The content last week was over the top. But choose, I did, so please enjoy, PIN, comment and share. And definitely, link up for next week. Bluesky at Home signature

Welcome to Happiness Is Homemade!

May is off to a great start with all the May flowers bursting forth. I love this time of year as new flowers emerge from the ground and vines of Jasmine spread their lovely scent throughout the yard. Are you enjoying the smells of spring?

Welcome to Happiness Is Homemade!

Can you believe that this is the last Sunday on April. In a few days it will be May. Warmer weather and lots of lovely flowers. I was watching the Cherry Blossom Festival on TV. I must admit that the festivities were pale in comparison to the gorgeous cherry blossoms. Summer always seems to be just around the corner when I see the cherry blossoms. Aren't they just beautiful?

Welcome to Happiness Is Homemade!

Happy Easter to everyone. Hope you have a lovely Sunday and that you are able to enjoy some time with family and friends. I remember when the kids were little I would hide eggs and their Easter baskets and then make them follow a scavenger hunt for their baskets. Each clue would lead to another place until they found them. Once I hid them up a tree. I think I drove them crazy. I thought it was fun! lol! Have you ever done something like that.

Welcome to Happiness Is Homemade! 

Here we are at almost the end of March. We are having beautiful weather, nice during the day and cool in the evenings. Hopefully, those of you in cooler weather areas, you are beginning to experience some spring like temps. April should bring warmer weather and lovely spring flowers.

We have a new hostess for the month of April so check in with Susan below to meet her and hear a little about her.

Welcome to Happiness Is Homemade!

What a day it has been. I told you that we are getting our house ready to sell. It has been rather stressful but it is coming along. Today I was putting down mulch (50 bags, so far) and my husband yells for my. Here when he pulled out the washing machine to clean behind it, something happened so when I put in a load of rags, the water went all over the floor and into the garage. What a mess! Needless to say, cleaning that up was not on our list of projects for the day. We got it cleaned up and by then I was more exhausted than I thought possible. I was even too tired to eat.  At least the garage floor is clean!

Now a word from our monthly hostess:
March is National Crafting Month in the US, so I have some crafty features from last week's party including a crafty home decor idea and recipe idea. Plus, I had to include the post about the California Super Bloom since I live a few miles south of one of the most popular viewing sites. It's a nightmare, don't come! Seriously, the poor town has become overrun with traffic and trash and people are trampling the flowers and parking on the freeway letting their kids play. But the hills are breathtaking! ~Audrey from That Recipe

Top of the mornin to you! Hope you have a wonderful St. Patrick's Day. Wear the green if your Irish or maybe make something green for breakfast. lunch, dinner or dessert. If green is not on your agenda, then think spring and a note from our hostess for this month:

Click your heels together three times and repeat after me: Spring is almost here, Spring is almost here, Spring is almost here. I know it is hard to believe if you were stuck at home this week in the latest blizzard, but the calendar says it is almost Spring. And that rodent in Pennsylvania said Spring was coming early this year. Well I can't promise when Spring will arrive to your neighborhood, but I can offer you some lovely some Spring features this week. Lots of gardening, decorating and crafting tips, plus a delicious strawberry jam recipe to tuck away for when the strawberry farms open in your area.

Welcome to Happiness Is Homemade!

Are you ready for St. Patrick's Day? If not we have some great recipes and projects that will get you in the mood. Audrey has gathered up some wonderful posts for you to enjoy.

This week's features on Happiness is Homemade have a bit of an Irish flair in honor of St. Patrick's Day next week. No corned beef and cabbage or green dyed beer, but some fun projects and recipes as well as a great furniture makeover.
May love and laughter light your days, and warm your heart and home. May good and faithful friends be yours, wherever you may roam. May peace and plenty bless your world with joy that long endures. May all life’s passing seasons bring the best to you and yours! -Irish Blessing
Have a great week, ~Audrey from That Recipe Happiness is Homemade St Patrick's Day Collage Colleen from My Life on Kaydeross Creek turned a beat up thrift store find into this beautiful piece of furniture. painted-furniture-antique-hutch-makeover-using-pure-original-paint-paint-techniques-life-on-kaydeross-creek I absolutely adore this tiny framed shamrock from Celebrating Everyday Life. Great for St. Patrick's Day, but it would also be a fun little treasure for a child going off to college, someone starting a new job, or anyone that needs a little luck. Linda from a Labour of Life shows you how to fold Shamrock napkins for a festive table. She makes it look so easy I think I could even duplicate it.   If you want a traditional Irish meal (as opposed to the Irish American Corned Beef) try this Shepherd's Pie from Comfort Spring Station. If you make lamb for Easter, be sure to save this recipe to make with the leftovers. Serving of Irish Shepherds Pie #irish #shepherdspie #stpatricksday #food Keep you green beer and Irish whiskey shots, I want one of these Mint Irish Iced Coffee Cocktails from Home Cooking Memories. Maybe more than one. Mint Irish Iced Coffee Cocktail Recipe
