The Art of Home-Making Mondays ~ Please Join Us ~ Link Up 111

“Nothing was so likely to do her good as a little quiet cheerfulness at home.” 
~Jane Austen

There are so many wonderful features in the making of a home. This is a place where I would love for you to share your love for anything home-related. Homemaking, homeschooling and homesteading are all a part of the lovely art of home-making!

~~Please link up posts in the spirit of Titus 2 and Proverbs 31 (such as recipes, godly encouragement, DIY's, frugal living, child-raising, medicine making, preparedness, gardening, home decoration, school lessons, sewing, crafts, etc). ~~ You are welcome to share as many posts as you like!

* Presenting our potpourri of monthly features
from the last month's worth of link ups.
Please visit a few posts and leave some comment love! *

1. I Hear Angels Crying from The Legacy of Home ~ What a stirring and sweet Titus 2 encouragement to mothers (along with some very good advice to grandmothers)! There is much to glean in this beautifully written article.

2. Personal Bean and Cheese Pizzas by Faith Filled Food For Mom's ~ What a wonderful way to use up those beans that the whole family will enjoy! A clever little recipe to add to my bean repertoire! 

3. Corn Cob Banana Pops by Brandie Raae ~ What a perfectly sweet and healthy treat for summer! 

4. In Life You Can't Always Be Mrs. Fix-It by Joy For Each Step ~ This is a wonderful article for those who tend to be a bit controlling (don't ask me how I know) and place too much responsibility into their own hands. You will want to read about the beauty of giving it to God (and in His much more capable hands)!

5. My Summer Mac and Cheese by Home and Harvest ~ This is a tasty looking, seasonal spin to that oh-so-famous mac and cheese (and a great way to use up the garden goodies)! 

6. Easy Summer Garden Stir Fry by Angie the Freckled Rose ~ This is another excellent and easy recipe for using up your home-grown veggies! 

7. Customized Tea Bags by Tray of Bliss ~ Mimi shares a darling way to craft a beautiful tea bag! These would make such lovely gifts! 

8. Rosewater {DIY} by Gigi Blog ~ Not only is this tutorial helpful, it is also very beautifully photographed! Enjoy! 

9. No-Bake Almond Granola Bars by Simple Joys of Home ~ These would make wonderful and healthy snacks without heating up the kitchen! One more goodie to make instead of buy!

10. Growing, Eating and Preserving Tomatoes by Molly Green ~ I particularly appreciated the tomato tips shared about common problems and pests in this very informative article.

11. Paperclip Flower by Annemaries' Haakblog ~ What a small but sweet project for those that crochet! There are so many possibilities and gifting ideas with this craft!

12. How to Make Rose Petal Jelly by Oak Hill Homestead ~ I can't believe I haven't made something like this yet! What a beautiful preserve to add to your pantry!
