LAST WEEK RECAPPED
WOW I can’t believe January is already gone! And February is a short month, so I sure hope it goes a bit slower than January did!
Last week was a typical “work” week, but I was able to finally get caught up on my own shopping and errands on Friday and then delivered these fruit medley topped cute little dessert cheesecakes for my friend Lu’s fundraiser dinner.
On Saturday we were supposed to go to a birthday lunch for a friend at what used to be a favorite pub (her choice), but then it was canceled when she didn’t feel well, so we went to a favorite tavern for lunch instead.
On Sunday it was raining in earnest so we went to a favorite grill spot for lunch and my book club while hubby watched the PRO BOWL with a friend. They laughed and laughed at the stupidity of the PRO BOWL being a flag football game.
I spent the rest of Sunday at home painting my rehab dresser project. My friend had given the dresser to another friend several years ago and then it was passed on to me. By the time I received it, there were split broken legs and quite a bit of marring on the edges and wood, so hubby sanded it down to the original wood for me, I replaced the broken legs with ball feet, repainted the original hardware and VOILA we have a new chest for the spare bedroom.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
THE WEATHER OUTSIDE
It’s still cold, wet and snow is still predicted for today and the rest of the week from the stalled storm. We’ll see if the snow finally materializes AND if it sticks! 😀 UGGs and flannels are my best friends, but I’m trying to wear more sweaters and less plaid. 🙂

You are so talented! Look at that amazing dresser project and all that yummy food. I’ve been craving potato soup, going to keep an eye out for the hash brown potato soup. Love the pink Christmas cactus. Mines starting to get quite a few blooms as well except they’re white. Hope you have a wonderful week!
I’ve missed going through all of your recipes! I hope you have a beautiful week!
Hello dear Friend!
Happy Monday 😉 Those tarts look amazing!!
And that dresser project turned out stunning! Great job Lady – and I especially love the color.❤️
Your cactus is blooming out all over. It looks beautiful!
Wishing you cozy in your week ahead. xoxo
Thank you! There is already a hope chest in that room the same color – I just love the bold, bright statement with a muted quilt and bright walls. I have 5 cacti and there must be at least 100 blooms between them so I’m hoping for a really colorful week. Have a wonderful week my friend!
