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.

Valentine Week on You Are the Star

Happy Monday and welcome to the party. I hope you had a great weekend. did the superbowl go the way you wanted it to go? Sorry, but I didn't watch it. Hubby did some. He kept flipping back and forth to the Olympics. 

Have you been watching the Olympics? I love watching them. I really enjoy curling but have no idea how they score. Everyone laughs at me for watching it. What do you think of curling?

Have a great week!!

Decorating for Valentine on TFT

Decorating for Valentine's on TFT

Thursday Favorite Things. Share NOW. #linkyparty. #TFT #thursdaayfavoritethings #eclecticredbarn


Welcome to the party. I hope you are all doing well. we finally uncovered our plants. The cold was just too much for our trees. We lost all of the buds and baby fruit that was there. 

I feel for the farmers here since it is strawberry, blueberry and blackberry season. Even farmers that had sunflowers lost them. It is so sad. We are not use to seeing black plants and bushes instead of all the green. 

I hope you faired better. 

Have a blessed week!

Valentine Tablescape and Craft Ideas on WWBH

Valentine Tablescape and Craft Ideas on WWBH

Hello everyone and welcome to the party. I hope you are all doing well and maybe a little warmer. The cold really hit our plants. We were able to cover the fruit trees and some of the flowers but we didn't have enough material to cover everything so some of it got damaged. 

We had covered our tomato plants but they just couldn't handle that cold. So sad. 

Please take care and be safe. 

Have a wonderful week.

Welcome to the party. We are still dealing with quite cool temps here in Florida, although not like up north. Plants had to be covered since they have blooms on the fruit trees and vegetables. The azaleas are beginning to bloom but I have too many to cover. 

I am heading to Pittsburgh today to see my sister and it will be even colder. I'll probable freeze. It's her birthday on Friday and I thought I would spend it with her. I didn't realize that it was going to be so cold, nut we will have a great time anyway.

Have a blessed week!

Football Ideas on HIH

Football Ideas on HIH

The winter weather is upon us. Well at least part of the country. We will not be getting cooler weather until Monday night. Next week will be a big change from this past week where it was in the upper 70s. Next week the mid 50s.  I can't complain since many will be dealing with really bad weather. Please be safe and careful. 

A fun week to continue January and as I mentioned last week January is back to me, A Labour of Life. So Lets see what you have been up to.

For this week, I am going with an football theme with my features. Snow has me craving all things fun and unique and this week I think I have captured that.

Valentine Towel Rack on You Are The Star


StarFamilyFeature

Happy Monday and welcome to the party. I hope you are staying warm. It seems that it is cold everywhere. I know we ae having cold temps here in central Florida. Can you believe that it snowed in the panhandle on Sunday? 

I guess it is winter and we have to deal with cold weather. Please stay warm and be careful.

Cake and Projects on HIH


Welcome to Happiness is Homemade holy moly 620 parties. . There has been so many great features shared with us every week and I truly hope Y’all continue sharing into 2026.

This week I choose some great projects and a lovely dessert for you to check out. 

I mentioned last week January is back to me, A Labour of Life. So Lets see what you have been up to.

macramé heart coasters

Whether you’re planning a romantic dinner for two or hosting a cocktail party for your galentines, these macramé heart coasters from My French Twist will definitely gather lots of compliments. If you’ve been wanting to learn macramé, this small project is great for beginners.

White Chocolate Raspberry Bundt Cake Recipe

This White Chocolate Raspberry Bundt Cake from Rose Bakes is the perfect blend of sweet white chocolate and bright raspberry flavor – a delicious cake that’s dressed up enough for special occasions yet simple enough for weeknight baking.

Football Mason Jar Crafts & Party Ideas

The football party – and tailgating – has been elevated to a whole new level. A level that includes mason jars and paint and duct tape and … well … all the great and creative ideas collected here today.

Playhouse Laundry Center

The laundry center is designed to be a washer and dryer, but Studio 27 wanted her playhouse to have two separate appliances.

What a fun Renofor the kids.

Pantry Apron Hook

We are so loving our organized pantry make-over! Part of that organization was a new hook for our aprons.I tend to collect aprons,but the collection was getting too massiveI sorted through and got it down to a few that we use on a regular basis.

So on the wall just inside the pantry door,I added a simple apron hook.
