Welcome to the Happiness Is Homemade Link Party of the week.  We are so glad you are here! Don’t miss any of our parties. If you are an avid blog hopper, set a reminder for yourself to come to our party every week. It starts on Sunday and goes through Thursday!

Is anyone having a hard time remembering what month it is now that sports have been cancelled?  I never realized it but that must have been how I tracked the seasons. LOL  Thank goodness people still celebrated the 4th of July this summer, low-key as it was. That at least gave me a benchmark in time. And what did you do for the holiday weekend? We had two cookouts and went swimming.

Happiness Is Homemade Link Party #331

Time to get this party started. We had a great party last week. Wait till you see our FEATURES!

 

Isn’t this pink birthday party pretty? Naush from Doodle Buddies shows us how she made it!

 

Look at this beach Americana flag! It is made from brick pavers. Talk about original. You’ll find it at Love My Little Cottage. 

 

Oh, this Asian Ramen Noodle Salad by My Kitchen Is My Playground looks just delicious!

 

I have to say, cheesecake is my dessert weakness. I just LOVE cheesecake. So, naturally, soon as I saw this post shared at our party, I had to go over for a closer look. Walking on Sunshine is the blog where you will find the recipe for this delicious dessert.

 

Eye Love Knots will teach you how to single crochet in this easy-to-follow tutorial. I do know how to crochet but it has been so many years that I am going to pin this so that I can refresh myself on how to do it. I miss crocheting and I think it is time!

Sinea’s Featured Pick of the Week

 

My special pick of the week is this pretty DIY travel pillow from Hello Sewing! Every time I see crafty posts I like, I get the itch to make something, too!

Hey there, Sweet Friends, Happy Sunday. It’s the Happiness is Homemade Link Party #329 today! What’s on the agenda for you? Leave me a comment and let me know.

Happiness is Homemade Link Party #329!

Welcome to the Happiness is Homemade Link Party, #329. I’m Cynthia from Create With Cynthia. If you are new here, a big welcome to you.

Be sure to check out my You Tube channel here, and subscribe, as I upload videos weekly on Furniture Makeovers and DIY Home Decor project with a seasonal flair.

I know I can speak for all of the Hostesses when I say thank you for stopping by and linking up! It’s party time so let’s get started.

Feature #1 – Crock Pot Pulled Pork Sandwich!

There is nothing sweeter than a Pulled Pork Sandwich and this one looks so easy to make in the crock pot. Pulled Pork Sandwich paired with a salad is the perfect Summer lunch. And of course, the perfect pairing salad is featured up next.

Arlene from Flour On My Face says, “This easy 4 hour Crock Pot Pulled Pork Sandwich is one of our favorite family crock pot recipes made with only 5 ingredients. 5 simple ingredients for the best pulled pork you’ve ever made.”

Feature #2 – Creamy Cucumber Salad!

Cucumbers are so plentiful this time of year and this salad just looks delicious. Just cucumbers, sweet onion and a little marinade and you are on your way. What a perfect salad to pair with a Pulled Pork Sandwich.

Ann from Entitled Life says “Grandma’s old-fashioned Creamy Cucumber Salad Recipe. Super easy to make, this is a delicious blend of cucumbers and onions in a sweet, creamy sauce is the perfect cucumber salad recipe!“

Feature #3 – 13 Amazing Planters for your Flower Garden!

I love junk and if you’ve been following me you know that upcycles and recycles are also a big favorite of mine. These garden ideas look so fun because a little junk and some flowers, Oh My!

Sinea from Ducks in a Row says, “In my search for patio garden ideas, I came across 13 amazing planters that I just love. Here are some of the most creative, surprising ways to make flower gardens in planters. Feast on this beautiful selection and tell me which one you like best! “

Feature #4 – Gossip Bench Makeover!

I said it above, I love furniture makeovers. Anything vintage just has me doing a happy dance. This Vintage Gossip Bench just stole my heart. This is such a perfect example of trash to treasure. I love how Ann took something that was so close to being dumped and revived it into a new life.

Ann from The Apple Street Cottage says, “A few weeks ago I received a text with a picture. It said, “Any interest?” I couldn’t type out, “Yes!” fast enough! I love gossip benches.”

Feature #5 – 7 Easy Ways to Decorate with Hydrangeas!

Gardening is a true passion of mine, although and unfortunately, I don’t make it a priority these days. Thankfully, grocery stores offer an abundance of store bought flowers. Hydrangeas are one of my favorites.

Shelley from Calyspo in the Country says, “Hydrangeas have become one of my favorite flowers to use in home decor. Their fullness makes them perfect for centerpieces and they look beautiful whether they are real, artificial or even dried. Definitely a versatile flower to use when decorating.”

Now it’s time for this weeks ideas. Hope you will take a few minutes to check out all the ideas below.

Hey there, Sweet Friends, Happy Sunday. To all of the men out there, a big Happy Father’s Day to you. It’s the Happiness is Homemade Link Party #328 today! What’s on the agenda for you? Leave me a comment and let me know.

Happiness is Homemade Link Party #328!

Welcome to the Happiness is Homemade Link Party, #328. I’m Cynthia from Create With Cynthia. Be sure to check out my You Tube channel here, and subscribe, as I upload videos weekly on Furniture Makeovers and DIY Home Decor project with a seasonal flair.

I know I can speak for all of the Hostesses when I say thank you for stopping by and linking up! It’s party time so let’s get started.

Feature #1 – Warm German Potato Salad!

I always say how much I love vegetables, (sigh, i know right) and potatoes are right there on my list of food favorites. Potato salads remind me of summer days and barbecues. This Warm German Potato Salad looks so yummy and I cannot wait to make it for my next barbecue.

Jen from CincyShopper says, “Warm German potato salad is tangy, sweet, and loaded with crispy bacon pieces.”

Feature #2 – Lemon Bundt Cake!

Lemon’s are plentiful this time of year and this Lemon Bundt Cake looks oh so delicious. Have you tried making a Bundt Cake? They are super easy and quick to make. You can keep or delete the poppyseeds to your liking. Poppyseeds seem like a controversial subject, if you know what I mean!

Raquel from Organized Island “This easy Lemon Bundt Cake with Poppyseeds is a lovely dessert cake to take to potlucks and barbecues. Made with a boxed cake mix in a bundt pan with a light lemon glaze.“

Feature #3 – Update an Old Birdhouse with Vintage Hardware and Bits of Jewelry!

I love junk and if you’ve been following me you know that upcycles and recycles are also a big favorite of mine. This birdhouse lacked pizzazz. Now it is full of jewels and hardware all from some old recycled materials that cost nothing. Watch Kathy turn this birdhouse from drab to fab!

Kathy from Petticoat Junktion says, “This birdhouse with vintage hardware is the perfect example of using what you have to transform a totally blah piece into a masterpiece.”

Feature #4 Metal Card Catalog Makeover!

This is such a perfect example of trash to treasure. These old drawers were set for the dump, but Stacy revived them with some love and a little paint. Who wouldn’t want this sitting in their home. The project came out so beautiful.

Stacy from Not just a Housewife says, “My boys wanted a place to store all of their rocks, feathers, and random things that others (including me) might consider trash. I got a call from my mom asking if I wanted the metal drawers that have been in her garage for years.”

Feature #5 Garbage Brownies!

I am a huge chocolate fan and brownies is on my top five favorite dessert list. These brownies look so yummy because they are loaded with all of my favorite chocolate things. You can even customize the brownies with your own personal favorite things.

The Lou Lou girls say, “Why choose which of your favorite candies to eat when you can eat all of them atop brownies?”

I know I can speak for all of the Hostesses when I say thank you for stopping by and linking up! It’s party time so let’s get started.

Feature #1 – Big Bang Cauliflower Recipe!

I love cauliflower and this dish looked so yummy. Vegetables are at their peak of the season. I can’t wait to try out this recipe, will you?

April from KetoBasicAF says, “This BANG BANG Cauliflower Recipe is keto friendly and low carb. It is ideal appetizer or side dish for people on the Keto Diet.”

Feature #2 – Pasta Salad!

I’m kindof a vegetable girl, are you a vegetable lover? Check out this delicious looking Cold Italian Pasta Salad. It’s like the perfect thing for hot summer nights. I can’t wait to try it out, will you?

Rebecca from Strength and Sunshine says, “A super easy and quick meat-free vegetarian and dairy-free recipe that’s a perfect side dish to feed any crowd!”

Feature #3 – Red Truck!

I’m always looking for garden decor, especially this time of year when the sun is shining and the flowers are bursting with color. Vintage and metal is my go too, what about you?

Linda from a Labour of Life says, “Spray the truck, let it dry, fill with flower pots and move to a new location and voila!”

Feature #4 Easy Flower Basket to Solar Chandelier!

I love Dollar Store projects just as much as I love Thrift Store projects. On this project, my sweet friend is taking a wire flower basket and turning it into a garden chandelier. Adding some lights to this chandelier really lighten it up.

Chas from Chaz’ Crazy Creations says, “Turning a flower basket into a solar chandelier is easy and inexpensive. You can do so much to personalize it for your own style.”

Feature #5 Painted Rose Mailbox

Mailboxes that sit on the curb add so much character to a home. Isn’t this one just adorable painted with flowers? What an easy way to add some beauty to the front of you house.

Kristie from Love my Little Cottage says, “Tired of doing things the same way as everyone else? Learn to write, create, and decorate without fear.”
