Little Cottage Link Party #52

Welcome to Little Cottage Link Party #52! I hope everyone is doing well. We’ve eaten in a restaurant or two since the coronavirus restrictions have lifted here in South Carolina. I sure hope we don’t have a second wave of infections here in the USA. I’m praying and I know you are too. In the midst of getting out of the house a bit more, I also had time to work on a few projects:

I made some Hand Painted Hawaiian Hibiscus Vans for my Etsy Store and plan to paint more customized shoes.

I love the new “Be Kind” mantra, so I choose to make a Be Kind Summer Bouquet Watering Can for the May Monthly Craft Destash Challenge.

The Little Cottage Link Party is open from Monday, 9am EST, through Thursday, 9am EST (I’m leaving the party open a day longer this year). My goal for this link party is to help myself and others thrive in the home. I’ve spent the last two decades raising five homeschooled children in a beautiful little cottage in the South Carolina Lowcountry. In my opinion, the home is the most important place on earth. It doesn’t matter if you’re married, single, empty-nesting, or raising a large family-your home can still be a refreshing oasis of love and beauty to those who enter.

Time for the Features!

My first feature is so cute, I can’t even stand it. What a great way to repurpose a jello mold!

My next feature will teach you how to crochet a chain. I can make a chain, but nothing else. My grandmother struggled with my left-handedness, so she could never teach me. I would love to see a tutorial on how to go from a chain to a granny square.

Melissa made a perfect, easy dessert for late spring and early summer.

I have always been drawn to country decor; especially colorful country decor. When my son was small I painted a barn wall in his room, along with a cornfield mural and John Deere accessories. This John Deere tablescape brought back great memories! Beth also used gingham and Fiestaware plates. Too much! I love it.
