		<title>Encouraging or enabling?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m not sure if it was my dedication to work or sewing that kept me in the lab for 13 hours yesterday.  I became obsessed with processing some data and really wanted to get the numbers crunched before I went home so that I didn&#8217;t have it nagging at me today, on my very precious [...]]]></description>

		<title>comfortable cuddles</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last November I ran away from the Big Smoke into the Scottish fresh air for a weekend with my Dad, step-mum and their dog, Domino.

It was very wet (my walking boots very nearly let my feet get soggy) but there were patches of blue sky, and with good company, good food and good wine I [...]]]></description>

		<title>adventures with darts and flat-felled seams</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I bought a meter of beautiful turquoise wool twill fabric at the Festival of Quilts two years ago, from the Fabrics Galore stand.  I must have bought it in a fit of bravado and confidence.  Once it was tucked into my stash, working with it terrified me.  I was convinced it would be a nightmare [...]]]></description>

		<title>Shades of grey</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Oh crumbs, I am so far behind with my posts.  Like always, the run up to Christmas was a blur of activity and much crafting. I don&#8217;t have pictures of everything I made but I will work my way through posting about those that I do.
In November (yes, I&#8217;m that far behind) I made a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Red dresser</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We moved house a couple of months ago and since then I&#8217;ve been slowly finding homes for all our stuff.  The living room is wonderfully spacious and bright (lots of room for spreading out fabric). Unlike our old place the living room can cope with chunky furniture storage space in the kitchen and living room [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dressmaking, slowly</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I think it&#8217;s going to take me sometime to work out how to adapt patterns before I construct a garment.  At the moment I still slavishly follow the pattern, reach the end and then have to figure out how to tweak it to make it fit.  This dress is a perfect example.

It gaped in various [...]]]></description>

		<title>Needle roll for Susie</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently a very good friend of mine completed her PhD.  Congratulations again Susie.  Unfortunately I was away at a conference when she had her viva and subsequent celebrations; I felt awful but nothing could be done about it.  To make amends I made her a needle roll for her circular knitting needles and had it [...]]]></description>

		<title>My first quilt</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I started learning to sew partly to make clothes for myself and partly because I loved the idea of making patchwork quilts.  For some reason, that has never been clear in my muddled head, I always feared that quilt making was harder than dress making.  So even though I have been to the Festival of [...]]]></description>

		<title>squidgy cushion joy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have to admit that I have yarn envy.  I drool over yarn and yearn to use it, somehow. But I can&#8217;t knit.  I&#8217;ve tried and I don&#8217;t get any enjoyment out it.  Then way back at the I Knit London Stitch n Bitch in 2007, I planned a needlepoint cushion project.  I bought a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bright bath mat to wake me up in the morning</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Crumbs, but it&#8217;s been a long time since I last posted.  What can I say? I&#8217;m a scientist who studies influenza viruses and so these last few pandemic-twitchy months have been very, very busy.  Oh, and in my spare time I moved house.
I did manage to take three days off work last weekend though and [...]]]></description>
