Happiness Is Homemade
Welcome to Happiness Is Homemade!
Can you believe that this is the last Saturday in February? Time is flying and soon it will be March. Hopefully it will mean warmer weather. I know some are having some strong winds and ice. Hope you are safe and keeping warm.With Mardi Gras fast approaching, Audrey has some info about that holiday. Check out her comments below:
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 wordly 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!

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.
