mexican wedding cakes 
The recipe for these chili-dusted cakes appeared on that incomparable blog known as Naive Knitting (the genius of which you can still get a taste here at thirty-six.com). epicurious has a version of the recipe--just add cayenne to the powdered sugar.

daisy chain
one more pillow and a big hug for Uncle David
This pillow is one big piece of leftover upholstery fabric sewn in half and decorated with round, fussy cut patches of the "Gertrude" print that hide the snaps with which I fastened the flaps. I linked the patches with hand embroidered chain and back- stitch.
