Let’s Party!

Happy end of October, and welcome to Happiness is Homemade! We’re so glad you’re here to share and explore with us. I’m Niki from Life as a LEO Wife, and I’m back to choose the features on this last day in October.

All of you talented bloggers have yet again made it so hard for me to choose only a handful of my favorites, but I have to do it. So, let’s get started!  

This cheesy sour cream rice recipe looks so yummy!  It was created by Tracey of My Kitchen is My Playground!

I had to choose this refinished dresser by our own Beverly at Eclectic Red Barn. Her in-laws no longer needed this wood dresser, and her daughter-in-law needed one. The finished project is beautiful. My mom gave her old dresser to my daughter, and it is almost identical to this one. I hope my daughter will let me re-do hers now!

We have one more month to decorate our homes for fall, and Denise at My Home of All Seasons has some great inspiration for us to decorate with our fall baskets. I love the ways that she used six of her baskets to bring fall into her home. There are also some great tips in the post for how to fill your baskets without having to find a ton of items to put in them.

Thanksgiving is almost here which means it’s time to slow down and begin to think of all of the things we have to be thankful for this year. Carol at Blue Sky at Home made a stenciled wood sign that lists things that we can all be grateful for. In her post she gives a step-by-step tutorial for painting and making your own beautiful sign that you can customize to fit your family and home!

Our final feature this month is this gorgeously styled Thanksgiving tiered-tray by Lori at Dining Delight. She is from Canada, where they have already had their Thanksgiving day. We in the US get the benefit of that, because we can use her tray as inspiration for our own tiered-trays and vignettes. I love how she used items like bowls to lift up the houses and pumpkins so that you can see everything on the tray.

Sinea’s Featured Pick of the Week

Pumpkin Toffee Bar recipe from Lou Lou Girls.

I am so glad you’re here to join us for the 398th Happiness is Homemade link party! I’m Niki, from Life as a LEO Wife, and I’m so enjoying visiting everyone’s wonderful posts that have been linked up during the month of October. You’re all still killing it with these awesome posts you’ve shared! Before we get to the party, let’s take a look at this week’s features.

This Week’s Features

I thought I’d get a few non-Halloween features in this week, and one is this post by Krafty Planner. In it, she gives us 7 tips to practice an attitude of gratitude. With Thanksgiving coming up next month (in the US) and the state of the world, we can forget all of the good that we still have. I did a month long devotional on this topic a few months ago, and practicing gratitude can truly change your entire day.

Along the same lines of that is these adorable worry jars by Must Have Mom. They are too cute. Little ones are affected by external forces just as much as we are, if not more. With this idea, your child can write down their worries and let them go, as the put the paper in the jar. I like her idea of making this a cares jar and giving them all to God.

I am so glad you’re here to join us for the 397th Happiness is Homemade link party! I’m Niki, from Life as a LEO Wife, and I’m so enjoying visiting everyone’s wonderful posts that have been linked up during the month of October. You guys are so talented, and you make it hard for me to choose only five features! Before we get to the link party, let’s take a look at this week’s fantastic features.

This Week’s Features

This mason jar lid pumpkin sign, made by A Life of Balance, is so cute. In this post, Janet gives you a step by step tutorial so you can make your own adorable fall sign. I love that it is 3-D. It would add great depth to a fall gallery wall or a vignette.

Niky from The House on Silverado made this beautiful barn quilt by herself! It definitely doesn’t look homemade. She gives you the tutorial for making your own, and I wish I had the tools to build one myself! By the way, she has a great name right? Niki’s are very talented, if I do say so myself, wink, wink!

Next up we have this super cute broom doorhanger made by Denise at My Home of All Seasons. She has made available yet another adorable free printable to go on the broom if you’d like to make one for yourself. It’s perfect to hang on your door for all the trick-or-treaters who come to your home on Halloween to see.

I love the wire pumpkin wreath forms that Dollar Tree sells. You’ll know that if you’ve been around Life as a LEO Wife any length of time! This Halloween burlap pumpkin wreath made by Cheryl at Sew Can Do is adorable! It’s very farmhouse chic, and I love it! The bow is gorgeous, and I will definitely be attempting it on a project or two!

Our final feature is this embroidery hoop turned pumpkin  hoop wreath. I love upcycling items into something new and beautiful, and this wreath does just that. Ann from The Apple Street Cottage did a great job of making it look like an upscale spider web. I love the addition of the little spider climbing her silk back up to the web!
