Hey Everyone,

It’s my month to host Happiness is Homemade Link Party October… woohoo. If you are joining from a blog other than mine, I am Linda from A Labour of Life. And I am so happy I live in a World that has Octobers.

I will be hosting all this month and that puts a full Pumpkin Smile on my face. October is Fall and Canadian Thanksgiving and Halloween and did I mention Pumpkin Spice?

Happiness is Homemade Features to Start October

This week I selected a little bit of everything Fall, some food, a craft, a diy firepit and even an awesome table. Enjoy and please let’s see what amazing Fall and Halloween ideas you have for Happiness is Homemade.

First up is Virginia Sweetpeas awesome Woodland Tablescape

Today’s Lakeside Woodland Fall Tablescape is a result of a Pinterest challenge that Paula participates in. Apparently it is a monthly challenge hosted by Cindy from County Road 407. Each month Cindy picks a picture from Pinterest and challenges the group to recreate the look. I think I want to get involved with that challenge because y’all know how much I love my tablescapes.

Fresh Vintage by Lisa and Velvet No Sew Pumpkins

How beautiful are these Velvet no sew pumpkins? And so on point. I was at Michael’s this weekend and the shelves were filled with amazing velvet pumpkins. Gone are the traditional Orange. Today’s must haves are great colours with amazing textures.

The Lou Lou Girls and a Fun Pumpkin Pie Crisp

Pumpkin Pie Crisp is an amazing twist on the traditional Apple Crisp. MY mouth was watering just seeing the picture. I could smell the warm hints of pumpkin through my screen. You can bet I have pinned this for a future dessert.

Simply Designing Porch’s Creamy Chicken Tortilla Soup

Can it truly be October without an amazing soup recipe? This delicious dish from Simply Designing Porch is going to become a fall favorite. A Creamy Chicken Tortilla Soup made in the crock pot.

A DIY Firepit and Walkway from Thrifty Diving

The final feature had me drooling in a whole different manner. A homemade firepit anchored in the yard with a gravel walkway feature. DIY Firepit and walkway is on my list of must have’s. Sadly it will mean moving out of the city but I would totally move to have this. I am not kidding you folks, picture this by the lake!

A New Party With Lots Of Pumpkin Everything!

This week’s Happiness is Homemade Link Party features are all about the pumpkins…from pumpkin recipes to inexpensive pumpkin decor for the fall. Check out the ideas and recipes this week on the link party to help you along.

Lisa from Blogghetti here again with this week’s Happiness is Homemade features. Last week I mentioned that it was starting to cool off here in Middle Georgia. Well…it was a tease because since then it’s been 100 or higher here STILL I’m really over this hot weather, so this week my features are in line with Fall again. Last week on the blog, I shared pumpkin recipes for #PumpkinWeek (check out that hashtag for more recipes on social media) and I thought I would share more recipes and home decor that features pumpkins. Let’s get on with Happiness is Homemade.

Last week on the blog, I shared pumpkin recipes for #PumpkinWeek (check out that hashtag for more recipes on social media) and I thought I would share more recipes and home decor that features pumpkins.

Happiness is Homemade Features of the Week (Party #290)

I love inexpensive home projects like this one made from pallets. This rustic pallet pumpkin DIY from Kippi at Home is easy to make and will be a great addition to your outdoor Fall decor.

Bake up a loaf of this pumpkin bread with pumpkin buttercream from NancyC this week for a sweet treat to have after dinner, for breakfast, or anytime.

I love the Dollar Tree for craft ideas and supplies and so does Olivia Ohern as she made this cute pumpkin trio door hanger with dollar store items.

Because we’re still having summer here, this no bake triple layer pumpkin pie is going on my dessert menu this week. Cincy Shopper’s recipe is easy and that’s my kind of recipe.

Bonus feature this week because if you’re going to make pumpkin recipes you may want to keep a jar of this DIY pumpkin spice blend on hand.

Welcome!

Welcome back to another great party, readers! So many great posts from last week’s link up – hopefully you were able to find some new projects, recipes or inspiration to keep you motivated.

My motivation has actually been kicked up a notch since the snow has started to fly here at my farmhouse. I’m determined to empty out the storage unit we rented when we moved last January. Only about 15 boxes left – mostly old baby clothes that need to be sorted and distributed to the various donation spots.

Are you letting the weather get you down or are you suddenly catching a second wind?

I had so much fun going through all of the posts and picking my favorites – check out what I found!

This Week’s Features!

All my gal pals know I am a sucker for a Little Red Truck – check out this craft tutorial I found to make your own Rustic Truck Ornament from the Country Chic Cottage for the upcoming holidays!

Sometimes when I’m checking out different blog posts, I love reading about neat places to visit. I remember visiting this town from my childhood and had to share it with you – check out the Tarpon Springs Cruise from Comfort Spring Station.

I am all about the farmhouse decor now that we live here at Starry Acres, and this includes my holiday decorations. I found this really cute DIY Custom Painted Christmas Tree Collar from the Red Painted Cottage – what a great way to hide my Walmart Christmas tree stand!

As a busy boy mom, I love having a special treat at the end of the day but I need it to be quick and easy. I’ll be trying this Pumpkin Nutella Microwave Mug Cake Recipe from Home Cooking Memories – I think this will fit the bill!

I saw this post from last week’s party and had to feature it – my boys LOVED to work with colored rice when they were younger. You can create such vibrant colors and they loved how it felt! Here’s the blog post for Preschool Colored Rice Activities from Ducks ‘n a Row for your own littles!

Welcome back to the Happiness is Homemade Link Party #228

I hope you had a great 4th of July if you are here in the USA. We had a lot of fun with our community’s annual Parade and Festival. With the holiday landing on a Wednesday, we here are all confused feeling like Thursday was another Monday. But it is so much fun to have another weekend after the 4th to spend with family. A perfect weekend for more picnics, barbecues and patriotic kids activities.

So happy we are full swing into Summer! ~Susan @craftingafamily.com

On with this week’s features!

For every summer picnic, you always have a bunch of condiments that clutter up the table and never look nice. What a great idea from Live Craft Love to make your table beautiful. BBQ Condiment Bar for Summer Parties.

Macaroni Salad is a picnic basic and I love the added creaminess of this Cheddar version. It looks amazing. Kim from Cozi Nest has a roundup of 4 versions of Macaroni Salad. The one featured here is from Jo-Anna at A Pretty Life.

You will fall in love with the Summer Patio Outdoor Beverage Cart and put this on your list of projects for next summer. The design from Jen at Clean & Scentsible will make any outdoor space a vacation.

There is nothing better than a casserole for your picnic. One dish that you can make ahead and reheat for your family get together. Check out Culinary Envy’s Pepperoni Pizza Chicken Bake recipe.

Welcome back to the Happiness is Homemade Link Party #227

I am so excited to be hosting my first Happiness is Homemade #227 Link Party. I am a new host this year and I have been having so much fun. I enjoy all the awesome posts each week. I love to look at all the great ideas (I can not tell you how many I save to my Pinterest boards). I hope you are having as much fun as I am. I am so excited to be picking out the featured posts and I know you will love them. As we are close to the 4th of July week I have some fabulous ideas for you.

Have a Great 4th of July ~ Susan @craftingafamily.com

On with this week’s features!

Because I love everything S’Mores you will want to make a batch of Heather’s S’Mores Popcorn Balls. You could make these any time of the year, and the 4th is a perfect excuse to make a big batch for your family celebration. Find the recipe and instructions at Happiest Camper.com

Every picnic or family 4th celebration need a fun activity for the kids. Angie has the perfect fun sidewalk chalk project for decorating your lawn for the 4th of July. She has a great video that shows you exactly how to use the paint for your decorations and how to get the kids involved. You will love Chalk Spray Paint: How to Use on Your Lawn at Thecountrychiccottage.net.

Jenna has a super cute table that she painted to have a beachy colored look. You could use this as a side table on your deck or porch and it screams summer and the beach. All the instructions and video included. How to Create a Beachy Colored Look with Paint at Rainonatinroof.com

I believe it is so important to remember on the three major summer holiday, the men & women who give us our freedoms to live the lives of our dreams. Whether you are visiting the link party as a blogger or a mom looking for ideas, we need to remember families like Jennifer’s who keep us safe. Jennifer shares her Tips to Navigate Motherhood When Your Spouse is Deployed. From Jenniferlambert.com
