It's Friday!!

I love Friday's. Usually it means a couple of days with my Hubs, er, I mean Step-King without work. Both of us have felt under the weather this week. He even came home from work early yesterday- he doesn't have a history of doing that so I know he didn't feel good.
I woke up with a sore throat, but ate a couple of spoonful's of honey and am feeling a little better.
This morning I worked on Wedding stuff. I have a little side business where I have the privilege of marrying couples. It started in 2003 when my niece was looking for someone to perform her wedding - but she isn't of any certain faith so she didn't want someone that would do it with religious undertones. Personally, I'm a Christian, and I was raised in a Baptist church where women were to keep quiet. I'm not sure if you can tell or not, but I keep an open mind to the thought that maybe there is a way to make things work....so...I started looking to get Ordained. By the time I got ordained, my Niece had found an Officiant....but...I figured she wasn't the only one out there looking for and Officiant such as this and I put up a website. After that, the ball got rolling and since then, I've lost track of how many marriages I've been able to perform. I'm not totally booked, but I perform around 6-10 a year. I've started to scale down my "gigs" though to be able to focus more on my quilts.
Since I've completed writing the ceremony for the up coming wedding in a couple of weeks...I have a craving for Chocolate Cake. I know that my sweet baby quilt is waiting on me, but I'm going to get some motivation by trying to create something semi homemade. If it works out, I'll share about it. Meanwhile, It is in the oven...and my taste buds are waiting patiently.
Working on the little starts on the superstar baby quilt has taught me that I want to do needle turned applique. I've always liked the look, just been scared to try it. I'm completing getting those boogers on the quilt by tonight. Wish me luck! I'll post the cake tomorrow if it turns out well. Blessings to all who read this,
