		<title>TAST Weeks 3-5</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Catching up. I had a couple of amazingly busy weeks in there. I realized, looking at these stitches that my issue is not so much &#8220;how do I learn this?&#8221; or  &#8220;what weird things can I do with these stitches in a straight line?&#8221; but rather, &#8220;How the heck could i use these in a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Imbolc&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Imbolc, or St. Brigid&#8217;s Day&#8230; Spring is springing. And with the weather yesterday hitting the upper 60s, it feels like it. It&#8217;s not supposed to feel like it! I&#8217;ve been working on a spring design. Or maybe a Summer design. I know there are going to be four, and this is either spring or summer! [...]]]></description>

		<title>Elmows Will be Back in March&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After some thought, I am revamping the Elmow program. Fair warning &#8211; all old Elmows will be pulled down on February 15. I will repackage them with a few new designs for sale on the GCD site and on Etsy, but the price will be going up, and you won&#8217;t be able to get most [...]]]></description>

		<title>Monday Treasures</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My Monday Treasure for this week isn&#8217;t actually embroidery. It&#8217;s a kitty. This is Dora. She&#8217;s our kitten. She came with Pookah, a stray we adopted with the house. (Little, sad, starving black face poking her head over the windowsill and wanting to come in, but scared of the people&#8230; now she&#8217;s a happy love&#8230; [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Stitch Dilettante moves on&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Stitch Dilettante. That would be me. One of my defining characteristics as a stitch dilettante is that whenever things get stressful I have a tendency to start a new project with string &#8211; often in a technique I&#8217;ve never tried before. Things I&#8217;ve learned this way include: needle tatting, needlelace, reticella, pulled work, drawn work, [...]]]></description>

		<title>TAST Week2 &#8211; Buttonhole stitch</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t believe I stitched this much. A stitch I used to hate with a passion because I could never get it to lie flat, I mastered it last year, and this challenge just gave me a chance to play with it &#8212; a lot.   And there are still ideas that aren&#8217;t&#8217; going to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Elmows on Hiatus</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m putting the Elmow program on hiatus for a little while until I can figure out what I want to do with it. I&#8217;ve got so many ideas, that I&#8217;m getting a little overwhelmed by them! Remember that Elmow #16 was complimentary, if you&#8217;re looking for something to stitch right now, and the last 12 [...]]]></description>

		<title>TAST!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m going to shift my TAST posts to Fridays/Saturdays, I think, so I can get them up faster so people who are perusing them can.  I think I can manage that. Last week&#8217;s TAST was Fly stitch. I did a small sample, but I&#8217;m afraid this is a stitch that I&#8217;m just not very creative [...]]]></description>

		<title>Happy New Year! And TAST&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So today is the first day of TAST (Take a Stitch Tuesday on Sharon B&#8217;s Blog). Which actually means that the stitch choice was posted last night (she&#8217;s in Australia) and I won&#8217;t be posting my results until NEXT Tuesday. Kind of hard to post something that isn&#8217;t stitched yet! But Watch this Space! I [...]]]></description>
