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

Colleen from My Life on Kaydeross Creek turned a beat up thrift store find into this beautiful piece of furniture.

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.

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.

Welcome to our weekly party! I’m Audrey from That Recipe and I will be taking over hosting duties this month from myself over on my crafting/DIY blog, Munofore. That Recipe is a food blog dedicated to good food and good friends. We celebrate a variety of tastes, diets and cooking skills. If you love food, we’d love for you to join us:

March is here and this year that means Mardi Gras, St. Patrick’s Day and the start of Spring. Last week we featured some fun Mardi Gras ideas so be sure to check that out if you need more inspiration. This week it’s rainbows for St. Patrick’s Day that has me inspired, plus a great Irish recipe and an easy but dramatic DIY project.

Corned beef and cabbage is an American tradition for St. Patrick’s Day. In Ireland they are more apt to have a hearty Irish Lamb Stew like this one from Kippi at Home.

Anika’s DIY Life shows you the easy way to Paint Your Front Door. I love the color she chose, and the difference the simple project can make to your home.

This Pot of Gold Centerpiece from Playdates and Parties has instructions for those with a Cricut and those of us without.

Kristie at Love My Little Cottage made a lovely piano-scape including this Rainbow Pine Cone Tree.

Hop over to Bird’s Party to see this  bright Rainbow Tablescape with an easy balloon garland centerpiece.

Those of you outside of the Gulf Coast might not be familiar with Mardi Gras. The literal translation is Fat Tuesday, the Day before Ash Wednesday when you eat all of the fatty sweet foods in your home before Lent begins. But, in New Orleans and the surrounding areas the celebration has become a weeks long secular party filled with parades and music and beads that can start as early as January 6th.

I hope the features this week inspire you to celebrate the spirit of Mardi Gras at home with recipes, crafts and tablescapes. And since we are learning about the world, I added one worldly DIY project.

Stop by the featured posts and say hi from the Happiness is Homemade Krewe (that’s how they spell crew in NOLA 😉 )

Laissez les bons temps rouler!

~Audrey from Munofore

Get inspired to deck out your own table with this Mardi Gras Tablescapes from The Painted Apron.

These No Sew Mardi Gras Masks from The Scrap Shoppe Blog are fun and festive and easy too.

The Mardi Gras Layered Jello from WonderMom Wannabe would be a fun treat for everyone.

What would Mardi Gras be without King Cake? Intelligent Domestications has a simple recipe to replicate this traditional treat at home.

This World Map Desk from Pillar Box Blue doesn’t necessarily fit in with the Mardi Gras theme, put I thought it was a great project that is simple to do especially when you can’t find the right size desk for your home.

As a promise of good things to come when Spring finally gets here again, I have some lovely flower and fruit themed features for you all this week:  a few vintage recipes, some lovely images, an inspired home decor project and some gardening too.

I’d love it if you took a few moments to stop by the featured blogs as well as our hosts blogs just to say hello.

I hope you all stay warm and dry this week.

Thanks Audrey …. spring is coming soon! … Sinea

I have a thing for preserving fruit and historical recipes, so you know I am loving this Victorian Whole Candied Fruit Recipe from Sew Historically.

Cooking with Carlee shares her Great Grandma’s Frozen Fruit Salad. It looks delicious even in the midst of winter this looks so bright, cheerful and refreshing.

Picture Box Blue shares this amazing collection of vintage rose prints that are free to download and use as your heart desires. I think I am going to print the China Rose and Mynas one to hang in my Asian inspired room.

The Scrap Shoppe Blog made these lovely Pottery Barn Knock-Off Pillows. I love the technique she used for the flowers.

Spring is coming, soon I hope! Living the Home Life has this post about Growing Tomatoes to help us gardeners get ready.
