mostly pics because I'm mostly lame

I still don't have much besides photos for show & tell. So here goes...

The other day was Tami's birthday, so I made her a gluten-free chocolate nut cake and even busted out the fancy spoons (from the 1920's at the latest; I think my grandmother got them for her wedding):



Amanda brought me the bestest ever little salt and pepper shakers. They perfectly match my dishes:



When I was researching wheat-free cooking I realized that wheat might actually be behind a lot of life-long problems I've had, so I'm experimenting with gluten-free food for at least a month. Baking has been fun:

German plum cake and blueberry-fig-walnut muffins

Gluten-free bread (delicious)

Banana-walnut muffins

I finally got my butt in gear and made some robot-themed baby items for Casey's brand new nephew Matteo. I have been promising Casey for months that I'd do this!




Here's my friend Steph's sweet little girl Gwen wearing a stripey dress I made for her:





And finally, here's a sweater I recently made for myself--just in time for San Francisco's one month of warm weather.

Yaaay, Robot Man flannel! I told you that I have some PJs made of that fabric, right?

Those salt and pepper shakers are indeed adorable.

I'm curious to hear how the wheat-free diet goes. I also wonder if I would benefit, digestively speaking, from eating less wheat. But then I also wonder if wheat allergy is just the trend of the moment. And then I also think of how much hassle it would be to not eat bread...so not much has happened on that score.
