MMMMM Cake...

Today's "Things I Like Monday" is easy  most notably because of reason number one.

1.  Today is a holiday so i didn't have to go to work.  I like not having to go to work.  Droopy cat had to go into the vet this morning because of bit of a health emergency over the weekend, but she's better and her feline leukemia test came back negative. 

2.  I like cake.  And my inlaws loved Crazy Aunt Purl's  Oma's Chocolate Cake recipe.  My inlaws like to celebrate birthdays (this weekend we celebrated J's) and i've been instructed to bring Oma's cake back again.  Thanks Laurie for sharing this wonderful recipe. 

3.  And i like cake ... yarn cakes of all of my handspun yarn.

here's the bittersweet skies shetland

some grey wool of unknown sheep origin (the wool was a very generous gift from maggie).

and some blue faced leicester.  who needs to go to SPA?

**************************

my sock contest is now closed.  i'll be awarding two prizes.  one winner will be selected at random.  the other winner will be the one combo that causes J's eyes to burn the most.  his taste tends to be a little conservative so this should be fun, for me anyway.   i hope to announce the winners in the next couple of days.
