The Simple Woman's Daybook . . .

 

 FOR TODAY, January 19, 2021

Outside my window...

Its still very dark. Cool. Dry.  So far this winter hasn't been too bad. I remember it snowing a lot more in past years.  I suppose they get most of their snow later on in the season now. I could be wrong and often am! 

I am thinking ...

Not a lot really. Just zzzzing this morning.

I am thankful for ...

A comfy bed. People who love me. Food in my belly. A roof over my head. You know the drill. May I never be the person who takes these things for granted.

In the kitchen ... 

 

Lemon Amaretto Cupcakes.  Gluten free deliciousness. 

On my "To Cook" list ... 

 

Splatula Desserts.  Foolproof Eclairs. 

Good to know ... 

 

I love herbal teas.  I must remember to get myself a teapot at some point.

I am wanting to create ... 

 

Farmhouse Style Afghans from Annies Catalogue.  Love these. PDF download, not expensive however.  

 

Ideas Times Two.  Heart Shaped Pot Holders.  I need new ones.

 

 

 

 Tried and True, Fabric Bun Warmer.   

 

 

Bee Hive Tea Cosy. TBee cosy designs on Etsy. Not free, but not expensive.   

 

CT Pub, Envelope Needle Case.  Complete free tutorial.   

I am reading ... 

 

The Confession Club, by Elizabeth Berg 

In this uplifting novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Story of Arthur Truluv, good friends discover that the things we fear revealing to others can be the very things that bring us closer together. 

 

When a group of friends in Mason, Missouri, decide to start a monthly supper club, they get more than they bargained for. The plan for congenial evenings—talking, laughing, and sharing recipes, homemade food, and wine—abruptly changes course one night when one of the women reveals something startlingly intimate. The supper club then becomes Confession Club, and the women gather weekly to share not only dinners, but embarrassing misdeeds, deep insecurities, and long-held regrets. 

 

They invite Iris Winters and Maddy Harris to join, and their timing couldn't be better. Iris is conflicted about her feelings for a charming but troubled man, and Maddy has come back home from New York to escape a problem too big to handle alone. The club offers exactly the kind of support they need to help them make some difficult decisions. 

 

The Confession Club is charming, heartwarming, and inspiring. And as in the previous books that take place in Mason, readers will find friendship, community, and kindness on full display. 

I am really enjoying this!  I will hate it when I get to the end! I have always loved Elizabeth Berg's books.  

I am looking forward to ...

Going to Michael's Crafts this week at some point with my sister. I have never been to a Michael's Crafts.
