A Pretty Good Saturday

I have not left the house today. There are very few days when I can do that and I really enjoy the few I get.

It gives me time to do things like this:

I got to use one of those kitchen tools that I buy and never take out of the package. It was quite fun once I figured out how to use it. I am injecting strawberry jello in these.

Then I took these naked strawberries

and dressed them in chocolate, nuts and coconut.

Oh, my, what a treat they were on this cold winter day!


Earlier this morning I worked on my 3-inch quilt blocks.

and I did a minimum of housework while DH did the grocery shopping (he bought those wonderful berries).


All in all it's been a good Saturday.

    Darn it Zoey, I'm hungry now!
    : ) Look at those goodies!
    I got your note-having a tall hubs has some advantages and t.p. stacking is surely one of them!

    Hi Zoey! You know just what to do on a frigid January day :) The treats look yummy!
    We had a very cold weekend here but bright sunshine helped yesterday. I'm happy to see it's back today for the beginning of February.
    Your quilt is shaping up nicely.
    I chuckled about the toilet paper...and the bed warmers :)
    Those porch pics really brightened my morning. Spring seems a long way off!
    Stay warm!

    Well, I'll be darn, they actually have a kitchen tool to inject jello into cupcakes?? I've never heard of that but now will be going out hunting for one:-) Too cool! Oh my, chocolate dipped strawberries are one of my favourite treats. I think the strawberries are on sale this week so will have to go buy some!! xoxo
