		<title>Books</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am a literature snob, and I don&#8217;t read fast. 99% of our personal book collection is in storage about 180 longitudes away from here, plus books in Dubai are expensive and the few available libraries (even the one I work in) leave a lot to be desired. When I saw this idea by way [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bon Temps</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The other day I was thinking about how I have done these annual &#8220;day in the life&#8221; type posts, just kind of detailing how I spent my time as a person with a kid, a job, and various goings-on at what is usually a great time of year in Michigan (late spring). I realized I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Stanley 199X-2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My parents decided a few weeks ago to send Stan to kitty heaven, unfortunately without involving me in the decision, so it&#8217;s double the sadness. I&#8217;m sorry Stan, you were the best cat, and maybe the only one I&#8217;ll ever have.]]></description>

		<title>Wraparound</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The best laid plans&#8230; Here we are getting into some exciting repurposing craft activities. I&#8217;m in a bit of a rush to wrap up projects, too, before I give back the loaned sewing machine in a week or two. The primary reason for borrowing it was to hem the curtains for most of our apartment, [...]]]></description>

		<title>New dress</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Because we seem to shop at Ikea practically every week here (can&#8217;t get enough of their cheap and tasty potato chips), I have been eyeing the fabric for a while. Things came together when I bought a copy of a book, &#8220;Absolutely A-Line&#8221; by Wendi Gratz, at the Kinokuniya in Dubai Mall. The book has [...]]]></description>

		<title>Serious Monkey</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I think I have figured out why my personal craft productivity has dropped off so much since moving here. Barring the obvious switch to a full-time job, I have entered more of a survival-mode existence. I need more sleep, and I need more time to completely tune out (via TV/movies) where before I was multitasking [...]]]></description>

		<title>And another</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is Stripe Dog from Aranzi Aronzo&#8217;s &#8220;Fun Dolls.&#8221; I made it out of a stained old pair of Maeve&#8217;s pajamas, by request for her birthday.]]></description>

		<title>Look, it&#8217;s a craft</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Craft life evolution has pretty much ground to a halt here. Why? Well, we have a kid who is now up later, a me who works all day now, and limited access to all the great crafty info (hello slow internet, no knitting posse here yet, craft supplies few and far between). The former relax-with-TV-and-craft-on-the-sofa [...]]]></description>

		<title>Craft Life Evolution</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I figured things would change when I picked up and moved across the globe&#8230; And they have, I&#8217;ve barely had the mental energy to think about crafts in the past month. But it&#8217;s all still on my radar and it will return to my routine soon enough. I have noticed that I can buy a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wrapup</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I can&#8217;t get it together to write a comprehensive end-of-year summary this year. It&#8217;s just been too crazy since mid-October. A few great things have been going on in the last little while though, worth mentioning. Social opportunities galore. Everyone wants to see us, get in one more dinner or playtime with the kid or [...]]]></description>
