It was a very snowy, cold, windy weekend... Dear Husband kept us shoveled-out... I kept the home fire burning. Behind frosted window panes, I baked a coffee cake--using this scrumptious recipe. Saturday night we baked a homemade pizza--recipe coming soon to my other place, Savour. Lots of candle-glow... Listening to the radio. Time for our favorite things, creating, dreaming, being together. I put the finishing touches on a trio of felted wool flower brooches--these will be in my Etsy shop later this week. Charlie snug in his basket. Sunday afternoon, the sky cracked open with a delicate, sweet light, the snow stopped... for now... All quiet, serene...
Wishing you all a lovely week ahead...
Hello Tracy!
We had a relatively cold but not snowy weather in London. I just cannot live without my thermals though LOL!!
Love the photos (especially Charlie of course).
How lovely that you did lots of cooking and baking. The food looks very yummy.
Off to Savour!

Hi Tracy - that all sounds wonderful - and Charlie looks the picture of contentment in his basket! We have had a very light dusting of snow overnight - it looks as if the garden has been decorated with icing sugar! Have a good week, love, Anne x

We really should trade places one day. I was in town taking photos of the lion dances outside the sun, I was practically melting. Some of the photographers sat on the floor trying to get a nice picture, I tried that..it lasted not more than 30 seconds. The floor was so hot, it practically burned my butt :( Once I got the shots I wanted, I scooted into the aircond mall...for now, at this weather, I really dont mind the cold :)

Sounds like a very relaxing weekend, dear Tracy.
Love the picture of handsome Charlie in his basket. :)
Happy Monday!
Lots of love and hugs,

I'm imagining your home all warm and calm with good cooking smells while the blizzards rage outside. Lovely atmospheric photos, especially the snowy window and of course Charlie.

Your window looks so wonderfully wintery. Makes me want to snuggle inside -- just like Charlie. What a comfortable life he leads.

Seemed like you have a wonderful weekend. Stay warm and safe and have a lovely week ahead too.

I hate that it has been cold and snowy there. It actually warmed up to a nice sunny 67 degees yesterday. We lived it up to. Your pizza and coffee cake look so good. I can't wait for that recipe to be posted on your Savour site. Geoff doesn't like stuff like that, but once he leaves I get to fix whatever I want. keep warm

glad you survived the wintery weekend. do stay warm and cozy.

Oooh, that pizza is calling my name! I think you ought to start a line of cat toys with your creative knitting and felting... What a handsome model you already have!

Oh Tracy, snow days sound so fun (and tasty) at your place! I'm getting restless and tired of winter... I think it'd help if I had a cute little snuggly cat to cuddle with :)!

Oh, that sounds like a lovely weekend! We're having a very sunny and kind of warm weather snap right now. It's very odd, but we're taking advantage of the rare winter sunshine. It's making everyone happy and wanting to be outside. I love that.
I can't wait to see your pizza recipe. I am itching to make some homemade pizza, so this might provide me the inspiration I need! I hope you have a great week!
