I’m Susan, the writer and creative behind From the Bay to the Beach, where I share all things modern California coastal living — from décor and DIY to style and seasonal inspiration. I’m so excited to be hosting this month’s party and can’t wait to celebrate the cozy charm of November with all of you!
Each week here at Happiness is Homemade, we feature a roundup of favorite ideas and projects shared at the previous party — everything from delicious recipes to clever crafts and beautiful home décor. It’s always inspiring to see what everyone’s been creating!
Since the holidays are just around the corner, I’m featuring some sweet treats and clever crafts to help you celebrate the season. Grab a cup of cheer and let’s dive in!

Easy Fudge Recipe
Fudge is my favorite chocolate dessert, and Mommy Hates Cooking has a winner of a recipe. With just five ingredients, it’s an easy treat to whip up for a bake sale or any holiday gathering.

I love decor that you can leave up after the holidays are over. Steph Creates Things shared this simple craft using an upcycled jar and brown paper. You could display this with flowers, greenery, or even a small candle.
