Welcome back to Happiness is Homemade! I am so glad you are joining us because each week we have bloggers stop by to read about and share crafts, DIYs, life tips and hacks, home decor ideas, recipes, gardening, and many other family friendly posts. You will want to dive in and try all of the amazing ideas brought to us every Sunday through Thursday!

Favorite Features

First I’d like to share this week’s features! Thank you to all of you bloggers who share all the wonderful posts we get to read each week!

Memorial Day is tomorrow! I can’t believe it’s already that time of year. Janet from A Life of Balance shared a tutorial for this simple patriotic wreath. It seems very easy and quick to put together. She used her Cricut to cut the stars from balsa wood. I haven’t tried that yet, but I can’t wait to! This wreath is perfect way to greet your guests as you kick off the summer with your patriotic barbeque!

Next Joy from Artful Homemaking brings us a post on deep cleaning your home. She has some great tips and ideas. I deep clean areas of my home at least twice a year. I can’t stand dirty baseboards! Pulling out the refrigerator is another thing though, ha! That’s a bit harder. That usually happens when I drop something, then it turns into the next six hours in the kitchen knit-picking at little marks on every surface. In her post, Joy shares free printable checklists for when you get down and dirty in your house!

Claire from Pillar Box Blue shared this post on all of the things you can make with old blue jeans. I have a lot of old jeans that my son has grown out of. These ideas look like so much fun. In the article, she tells us exactly how to deconstruct jeans depending on what projects you’d like to make. That’s great for me, otherwise I’d just start chopping! Then I’d end up a pair and a half of jeans short for what I want to make. Some of these are perfect projects to keep your teens busy this summer. They may even be able to sell a few!

This wood tray was shared with us from Tiffany at Tee Diddly Dee. Can you believe this beautiful tray is a DIY?! I thought it was going to be an upcycle (love those too!) or a vignette tutorial, but she hand made this. In the post she shared how to make it, step by step. Since you make it yourself, you can customize it for your home. You could change the size, color, or handles, yet use the same tutorial. I think it’s beautiful and would fit perfectly into my house in a medium colored wood stain.

Finally we have Penny’s she shed from Penny’s Vintage Home. I am in love with the look of this trailer turned she-shed! It has turned out absolutely beautiful. Mr. H cut an old headboard in half, which is what you see on either side of the jut-out. Who would’ve thought it would look so cute. She repainted the jut-out in light grey with the pink door, and that makes the shed. I love those two colors together. The sunflower theme that runs across the shed is just perfect. If there’s A/C, I could just move in!

Sinea’s Featured Pick of the Week

Ground beef burrito bowl skillet from My Kitchen is My Playground. As usual, this lady’s recipes always catch my eye! Maybe she can invite me to dinner.  I would LOVE that!

Favorite Features

Before we get to this week’s link party, I’d like to share our featured posts that were shared with us this past week. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. It is almost impossible to choose only five! Keep bringing the heat ladies (and gents)!

Beth from Whispers of the Heart shared a musical tablescape. She created this in memory of her loving mother who played the piano for 66 years before the Lord called her home! How I wish I had listened to both of my grandmothers and learned to play. Ya’ll, they both bought pianos for me to play, but alas, like Beth, my head was always stuck in a book. I have no idea where Beth comes up with these beautiful tablescapes, but you must check her out! This is stunning, and I love how the red pops on the black and white.

Next Candice at She’s Crafty Crafty showed us how to make a decorative banner flag using an old drop cloth. She has been doing craft fairs and needed a better way to display her store name. Her framed sign kept knocking her in the head, so I see her need to come up with a new display, and quick! There are so many ways to customize this for your needs. It will look great hanging on a wall.She has inspired me to try one of my own, which I will try to share with you this week. Thank you Candice!

Our very own Linda from Labour of Life shared with us these delectable looking milkshakes. Oh my gosh girl! I am trying to lose a bit of weight for swimsuit season, but out that goes! She was looking for ways to bring summer into her life a little faster, and decided what she needed was a little “Summer Lovin’ to have her a blast.” I know you see what she did there Sandy and Danny fans. This is just what she needed to giver her a little summer blast. You must try her milkshake recipe. Linda, if you don’t get a little freedom and warm weather up there, you can always hit the gulf coast with me. It’s eight am and about 85 degrees!

Now we have these adorable boho triangle coasters that were shared by Julie from Julie’s Creative Lifestyle. How great are these, lying next to a beautiful succulent? These would go perfect with some macrame hangings on the wall, a few hanging plants woven in macrame. The tassels bring it to another cuteness level! They are all the rage now, so I am definitely going to try to crochet a few myself. Julie was kind enough to share the crochet pattern with us. Thank you, you lovely lady!

I had to choose Debbee’s bee wreath and skep, shared from Debbee’s Buzz. My old high school and my children’s current school mascot is the yellow jacket. This would be perfect for our end of school parties and graduations, subbing black for blue and a honey bee to a jacket. In this post she gives us not one, not two, but three bee theme wreath instructions as well as bee themed party ideas- games, decor, & food. She has made this her annual “favorite things” party. Debbee you’ve basically given me a blueprint for a party for my little buzz-ee’s. I LOVE themed parties, which if you’ve been around Life as a LEO Wife for a bit, you’ve heard me say. Debbee pulled this together while participating in April’s Pinterest Blog Hop Challenge, which encourages you to use those pins, not just pin them.
