Welcome to Happiness is Homemade! 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!

The Best Carrot Cake Recipe
Isn’t this cake beautiful? Carrot cake is a favorite around our house, and Ann’s Entitled Life shares her recipe for the best one ever. I’m no baker but I’m tempted to try this one.

DIY Easter Display: Repurpose a Shoebox
I can’t get over how cute this Easter display is! Plus it’s so easy to make. To find out how to make one for yourself, head over to Petticoat Junktion for step-by-step directions. Adorable!

Goldilocks and the Three Bears: Celebrating Fairy Tales With Littles
The teacher in me geeked out over this one! Our Grand Lives shares a whole thematic unit on Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Head over to their blog to find out how you can bring this story to life for your own littles.

Easy to Make Seed Starter Pots
Even though it may feel like winter will never end, spring is just around the corner. Scratch Made Food for Hungry People shares a clever way to reuse TP tubes as seed starters. Makes me wish we still had a garden!

Wood Candleholder Decoration
Speaking of spring, here’s a pretty way to bring a little green indoors. Steph Creates Things shares how you can make this pretty little wood candleholder. This project is certain to brighten up your day!
