Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop

Welcome to Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop

Welcome to our party. I hope you had a lovely Valentine's Day. I guess we are off to St. Patrick's Day and Easter. I am working on some Easter stuff. I don't do much for St. Patrick's Day, just a little.

Are you working on Easter or St. Patrick's? Or are you still dealing with cold weather? Ours was cold again on Monday, but warming up by Thursday. We seem to be doing this each week. A few warm days and then back down into cool temps and then back up. I guess it is that time of year.

You're The Star - Garden Feature Week

Happy Monday. I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Mine was quiet. The weather was a little cold so I could not do much outdoors. I did help my daughter do some pruning and raking leaves in her yard. We did get a lot done and she was happy.

Today we had some rain so I did some cleaning and read.

How was your day? Have a great week ahead.

Thursday Favorite Things Party

Welcome to Thursday Favorite Things Party

Happy Thursday my friends. We are having beautiful weather compared to last week, although we are to have rain and cooler temps again this weekend. Out small town is having an Art Festival this weekend, but it doesn't look like the weather is going to be good. That is always so sad for the artist that travel from all over to come to the festival.

It seems as though another winter storm is creating havoc up north. I hope all of you in the path is safe and staying warm. I hope the rest of your week is awesome.

Happiness Is Homemade Party

Welcome to the Happiness is Homemade Party

Can you believe that January is almost over? It has been a crazy month for weather, especially the last couple of weeks, snow, ice and more snow. It has even affected Florida with cool weather and some frost over night.

I hope you are warm and safe from all of the cold weather.

Link Features for Happiness is Homemade 412

With Valentine's Day only a few weeks away, we have chosen some wonderful Valentine ideas. I hope you find some inspiration in the features and/or among the many posts within the party.

Happiness Is Homemade. Share NOW. #happinessishomemade, #linkyparty #eclecticredbarn #hih

A Tablescape

I have been thinking hearts and flowers, maybe because Valentine's Day is coming. Actually it was the heart plate that caught me. Today the bright red and pink hearts caught my eye, A Valentines table. Inspiration for the gal who loves to celebrate love. Anne's Inspired love really nailed this one.

Tasty Chocolate Charcuterie,

Trying something new this week, check out this yummy looking Chocolate Charcuterie Board from Wonderlust and Wellness. This Chocolate Charcuterie Board is filled with delicious and decadent chocolate treats – perfect for just about any occasion. You’ll find everything you need to build this rich, chocolaty, dessert board – a sweet charcuterie board idea!

Valentine’s Sgar Scrub

I love a good sugar scrub but don’t love all the extras that are in some commercially prepared ones. Plus they can be expensive. This easy DIY sugar scrub from Everyday Savvy requires just a few ingredients and can be infused with your favorite essential oils. This sugar scrub makes a great DIY gift for Valentine’s day or any holiday.

Valentines Kitchen Decor

Penny's Vintage Decor has created the cutest Valentines Kitchen ever. I am now on the hunt for Ceramic Cakes, Chickens and homemade heart and love signs. Take a tour through her home you will not be disappointed.

Special Feature

Thursday Favorite Things

Welcome to Thursday Favorite Things Party

Happy Thursday dear friends. We have had a strange week here in central Florida - it has been raining and the temps are cool. This weekend we can have frost. That doesn't sound like Florida weather. I will be out there covering my plants.

I know it has been really cold up north. I talked to my son tonight and he said it was going to 20 below. Winter has certainly come in January.

I hope your week has been good and that you are staying warm and safe.

Many of my features come from your comments. Don't forget to leave our Linkup Number or Post Title so I can find you and you might become one of my features for next week.

Updated Spinet Flip-Top Desk

I just finished redoing this desk that my friend gave me. It was lovely as it was, but now it is beautiful.

Updated Spinet Flip-flop Desk. Share NOW. #furniture, #restoredfurniture #upholstery , #desk, #eclecticredbarn

This desk is petite and just perfect. As I said, it looked good but I wanted to clean it up and make her shine. I did some research and it looks like it might have been made in 1884 based on the number on the bottom.

The center drawer slides out and there is a center drawer that also comes out. On both sides is a little shelf and when removed, there is a cubby hole to hide stuff.

Here is the top before I started to clean it. You can see that some white paint is on the tray on the left. I was able to remove that and some that was on the back.

Here is the top closed. It is in my dining room since it was cold out and I wanted to wax it. It is shining.

It really needed a good cleaning. I hope you can see the difference in the legs once I had cleaned them.

The chair she had with it, did not come with it but it seemed to work. This was the fabric on the seat. I removed that and there was another layer where they used large tacks to secure it. I removed that layer and still another one where they used smaller tacks. Yikes! When I reached the bottom layer, it had horse hair in it.

I should have taken more pictures of all the layers. I was just going to cover the bottom seat but then found a nice piece of foam to use. Hubby thought it was too thick, but I said by the time I pull it around, it will work.

Since this desk was going to my sister, she wanted something grey since she has a grey bedspread. She liked this. The chair seat is petite too. I took it up to PA when I went.

She was so excited to have this desk. She was using a microwave stand for her bills. Now she can sit here and do them.

Here with the chair under it.

Side view of the desk. It is completed and in its new home. My sister calls and tells me she is sitting at her desk. she is happy and that's all that matters.

Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop

Welcome to Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop

Happy Tuesday/Wednesday! I hope you are all doing well. This is the last party in January. Can you believe it? This month seems to be flying by. January is usually a cold month and here in Florida, that is the case. Cool today and rain. Yikes! Of course that is probably better than up north where it is very cold. I guess it is all relevant.

I have been stuck indoors today and the dogs have not been happy with that. They love being outside but they do not like the rain. I have been getting caught up in things around the house and laundry since I was away. I plan on doing some Valentine crafts later.

What are you up to this week?

You're The Star - Home Feature Week

Welcome to You're The Star - Home Feature Week

Happy Monday and welcome to the last full week in January. This year is already off to a fast start.

I made it home from my Mom's in Pennsylvania. Fortunately, I didn't run into any bad weather. However, it is very cool here in Florida, not like up north but definitely cool for us. I guess the country is in a cool phase.

Stay warm and have a great week.

Happiness Is Homemade Party

Welcome to Happiness Is Homemade Party

Welcome to the Happiness is Homemade Link Party 411. Third week of January already but we are still excited about a new year of sharing, linking, reading, Pinning and inspiration. For January, Linda from A Labour of Life is our hostess for the month of January, so let’s get started

A Tablescape

I have found my grove and my feature routine so lets start with a tablescape. And this weeks feature caught my eye probably because I have been thinking hearts and flowers.Actually it was the napkin fold that caught me. What a creative heart napkin. Today thebright red heart caught my eye, A Rose Valentines table. Inspiration for the gal who loves to celebrate love. Debbee's Buzz really nailed this one.

A Tasty Mocktail, that's pretty too

Trying something new this week, check out this yummy looking mocktail from Everyday Savvy. This mocktail recipe is simple, easy to follow, and has just a few ingredients. Simply Juice Mixed Berry is a great base for this mocktail recipe. Great for all ages and truth be told I am thinking it aso would make a great cocktail for me with a spalsh of rum or vodka.

Valentine's Cocoa Bombs

These easy Valentine’s Cocoa Bombs are a fun way to celebrate Valentine’s Day. The cocoa bombs melt in hot water or milk and will burst into a hot chocolate in seconds! Really fun to watch. Raquel from Organized Island really caught my eye with this version of a Hot Chcolate bomb, and quite possibly has inspired me t try my hand.

DIY Lip Gloss

And along the crafty line how about this lip smacking lipgloss. Crazy thing it is made from Kool-aid and coconut oil, simple and easy. Plus perfect for a day of hearts to keep those lips smooth. The Socialite's Closet has a hit with this DIY.

Special Feature

and in a special back to back feature week, I could not et the fun Painted Mason Jars from Honey I'm Home pass by. There is just someting about this quick and easy craft that seaks to me. Probaby because it is quick and easy.

Thursday Favorite Things Party

Welcome to Thursday Favorite Things Party

Happy Thursday dear friends. I am still in Pittsburgh. Today was sunny and warmer. Some of the snow has melted. Really cold temps are arriving tomorrow. Not sure if I will be able to head home on Saturday. Nice up here but not sure of the wintry storm that is to hit the south where I will be driving. I just have to wait and see. Of course my Mom is hoping I get stuck here.

I hope your week has been good and that you are staying warm and safe.

Valentine from Scrap Trim Pieces

I wanted to do something different for my Valentine decoration this year, but what? I was cleaning out some wood in the barn and created a pile of wood trim pieces that I used for testing paint colors. I hated to throw them away, but they were small pieces and not really "Valentine" colors. My mind started to work and I thought, why not a Valentine plaque. So here is what I created.

Let me tell you how I did this.
