Welcome to the Happiness Is Homemade Link Party #598!

Katie from Love My Messy Messy Mess here for another week of fun and creativity.  We finally got some much needed rain here and my veggie garden is much happier.  I’m thinking about planting some fall veggies – lettuce, broccoli, brussels sprouts, etc.

This Week’s Features




Baking is my favorite thing to do, even in the hot summer!  This recipe for Apple Kolache Pastries looks so yummy and pretty easy too!







Did you have any idea that you could grill watermelon???  I knew you could grill meat, I knew you could grill veggies, I even knew you could grill pineapple, but WATERMELON??!?!?!!?  Check out this tutorial to see how it’s done – Grilled Watermelon







One of my favorite weekend hobbies is going thrifting/antiquing.  Part of the magic is deciding what to do with the treasures that you find.  Check out this great tutorial for Turn a Thrifted Frame Into a Tray.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

This cocktail sounds so delicious and refreshing I just had to pick it as a feature.  Try out this Orange Creamsicle Margatini to enjoy on your porch during one of these hot August days.
