Happy Valentine Day on HIH
Happy Valentine's Day!!
I’m Susan, the writer and creative behind From the Bay to the Beach, where I share all things modern California coastal living — from décor and DIY to style and seasonal inspiration. I’m so excited to be hosting this month’s party and can’t wait to celebrate the cozy charm of February with all of you!
Each week here at Happiness is Homemade, we feature a roundup of favorite ideas and projects shared at the previous party — everything from delicious recipes to clever crafts and beautiful home décor. It’s always inspiring to see what everyone’s been creating!
Chunky Chocolate Chip Double Doozies
I love chocolate chip cookies and these fluffy cookie sandwiches look yummy! Celebrating Southern Cooking with K shares her recipe for making these delectable treats.
Crock Pot Hawaiian BBQ Meatballs
Crock Pot recipes are great for those times when you have to feed a lot of people. This Hawaiian Meatball Recipe from Organized Island is certain to be a crowd-pleaser.
Lemon Poppyseed Loaf
Lemon-flavored baked goods are always at the top of my list. This recipe from Rose Bakes is going in my must-bake file.
Sand Candle Wax: Easiest No-Melt Way to Make Beautiful Candles
I’ve always wanted to try sand candle wax. An Organized Season shares tips and tricks for making easy and pretty no-melt candles.
How to Cover Washer Hookups and Hide the Eyesores
Why did I not think of this clever hack? Missy from Sonata Home Design shares an easy way to disguise those unsightly washer hookups using placemats and a curtain rod.
