Welcome to Happiness is Homemade Link Party! I’m so glad you’re here to join us in sharing and being inspired by blog posts from around the world. Katie from My Messy Messy Mess is our hostess choosing the features for the month of February. After you share here, don’t forget to go link up on Crafty Cr eators Link Party. Before we get to this week’s party, let me share what’s been going on here on the blog.

This past week I joined up with some lovely lady bloggers for Creative Craft Hop. In that post I shared a tutorial for creating an easy St. Patrick’s Day wreath that you can easily change up for different holidays. While on a St. Paddy’s roll, I made a tutorial for a burlap shamrock wreath. I love how it turned it out!

Finally, I shared a list of more than mood boosting worship songs. By the time you’re 3 songs into the list, you’ll be dancing, and your sour mood will be long gone!

On to Happiness is Homemade Link Party!

My name is Katie from Love My Messy Messy Mess, and here we are for another link party this month!

We have had a sudden warm up after 2 months of cold temperatures and LOTS of snow! Two weeks ago my thermometer was reading -7 degrees F and two days ago it said 51 degrees F – that’s nuts!

So now it’s time to get to this week’s party – simply scroll down to see all the posts that have been linked up by our participating bloggers!

This Week’s Features

The Mare Knot Pillow – Crochet Pattern Review

Although I do not have an uncontrollable obsession with couch pillows it’s still fun to find unique ones. This Mare Knot Pillow Crochet Pattern Review looks so pretty and different – I’d love to try making this one!

Copycat Shamrock Shake

It is my tradition that every year around St. Patrick’s day I treat myself to a shamrock shake at McDonalds. With this recipe for a Copycat Shamrock Shake I can now make it at home whenever I want!

Sloppy Joe Casserole

I really love making sloppy joes any time of year, but something about this Sloppy Joe Casserole recipe screams warm and cozy for a yummy winter time meal.

12 Things I Don’t Buy

Lately I have become very fascinated with watching organizing and decluttering vlogs on youtube. I may not be the neatest or tidiest but I do LOVE making space and getting rid of unnecessary items in my home. To help combat that, there are certain items I refuse to buy anymore and as it turns out, a few of those items made it to this list of 12 Things I Don’t Buy.

*BONUS FEATURE*

Dark Chocolate Mocha Pudding Cookies

I do bake but am always looking for quick recipes that use ingredients I have in my pantry. I always having pudding, so this recipe for Dark Chocolate Mocha Pudding Cookies sounds so delicious and perfect to make.
