Baking, sewing, knitting and what not.

It has been awhile since I last posted.  As most of my close friends know, it's been a difficult month.  However creatively, I've attempted to make things and in some instances accomplished just that.  Yesterday, I had two of my girlfriends,  IS and SB over and I converted my kitchen into a little workshop.  Recently, I've been on this kick of beading or making jewelry, mostly for myself but IS is making to sell.
While they were gold wire wrapping stones for a necklace, I baked this ridiculous chocolate cake with chocolate butter cream frosting, I describe as ridiculous because when you make a cake, a real cake from scratch, you realize how much pure fat and sugar goes into the desserts.  It's serious.
I think there were about 10 eggs in this recipe, whether separated and beaten or put in whole, no less than 4 sticks of butter, at least 3 cups of sugar and lots and lots of chocolate.  I had a taste, a sliver with a tall glass of milk and sent it straight downstairs to my neighbors, where hopefully it was cut in generous slices and eaten by their guests.

Sunday night, oh pooh and time to go to bed.  I am hoping to beat down the negative and toxic thoughts and turn them into sunshine and lollipops, that a bit of an stretch for me, but I will try.
