The Church Cake
================

Alice was to bake a cake for the church ladies' group bake sale,
but she forgot to do it until the last minute.  She baked an
angel food cake and when she took it from the oven, the center
had dropped flat.

She said, "Oh dear, there's no time to bake another cake."
So, she looked around the house for something to build up the
center of the cake.

Alice found it in the bathroom... a roll of toilet paper.
She plunked it in and covered it with icing.  The finished
product looked beautiful, so she rushed it to the church.

Before she left the house, Alice had given her daughter some
money and specific instructions to be at the bake sale the
minute it opened, and to buy that cake and bring it home.
When the daughter arrived at the sale, the attractive cake had
already been sold.

Alice was beside herself.

The next day, Alice was invited to a friend's home where two
tables of bridge were to be played that afternoon.

After the game, a fancy lunch was served, and to top it off, the
cake in question was presented for dessert.

Alice saw the cake, she started to get out of her chair to rush
into the kitchen to tell her hostess all about it, but before
she could get to her feet, one of the other ladies said,
"What a beautiful cake!"

Alice sat back in her chair when she heard the hostess
(who was a prominent church member) say:

"Thank you, I baked it myself."

Gah, going crazy here! Haven't knit in almost 3 days now, because my elbow started to hurt. I'm going bonkers, I tell you! I've been perusing the knitting community, checking out knitting books, ogling yarn online. It's terrible! It's official though, I am addicted. But no 12 step program for me, thankyouverymuch! Nope, just more yarn ^_~ I want to knit!!!!!!!! *runs around in ever tighter circles*

Well, since I can't knit yet, I've been consoling myself with my embriodery. It's the same one I've been working on since last year. What can I say, knitting took over ^_~. The design is the same as part of brightshadowsky's background on LJ. It'll be in light blue and a sandy/beige color once it's done. The outlining of it is in darkblue. So far, I'm liking it. I'm almost halfway done with the lightblue, the dark, of course, is already finished. No clue what I'll do with it once it's finished though. It's on some linen (I think it's linen anyway) cloth, as it was just for practiise, but I should like to put it to use when it's done. Anyone have any ideas?
I will admit. It's kind of nice to be doing something other then knitting. But I still have the knitting bug very badly and am still itching to pick up my needles. But oh, just to see something emerge from my own two hands! I love that feeling! There's nothing quite like it.
I still want to learn to sew. If only I could kick Dustin's butt in gear so he can check the sewing machine out and set it up and everything. I've got some old jeans that are just begging to be made into a quilt. I know, I won't have enough for the whole thing, but it'll be enough to start with. And if any of my friends have any jeans they no longer wear for one reason or another, but still has plenty of usable fabric left on it, and you don't have any plans for recycling them yourself, I would welcome them. I've already got a ton of jeans, but hey, a quilt takes a lot of fabric ^_~.
