Some might say I have issues....

I have been feeling outspoken and surly lately.The main reason is because I have one of those colds that isn't bad enough to completely incapacitate me, but saps my will to live a little more each day. It started Thursday and by Friday afternoon I was a zombie. I feel better now than I did the other day but I think it's the calm before the storm, since I feel the scratchiness and ick moving into my throat. What a lovely mother's day present.





Thank goodness I am crafty, and can channel my agressiveness. It was nice the other day to concentrate on those teeny, tiny quilt blocks. Today, I made cake. I want to make cake for Malcolm's first birthday and I am the type that needs remedial cake decorating classes. I think they'd probably kick me out of the regular ones. So, I picked up some cake mix, chocolate frosting, and the icing that comes precolored in a tube to which different tips can be affixed. I didn't have room for "Happy Birthday" since I just made one 6 inch layer, so I came up with something else on the spur of the moment:

I feel like I didn't do too bad of a job. The flowers almost look like they're not random blobs of blue.I remembered to put the little pieces of wax paper under the edges when I was icing it, so I made a nice little border around the bottom. My top border was off because the layer was sloping a bit, but I didn't care since it was practice.

Eeek, the words are running together so I'm off to slumber in Nyquil induced coma. Happy Mother's day!
