		<title>A visit to Heath</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have the good fortune to live across the bay from Heath Ceramics. Heath makes tiles and dishes in a fantastic mid-century style in their factory in Sausalito, California. A few years ago I helped my parents re-tile their kitchen counters and bathroom floor (I&#8217;ve written about the process before) and we used a large [...]]]></description>

		<title>I&#8217;m writing my dissertation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Franz Josef Glacier, New Zealand I&#8217;ve been traveling on and off for a few months now (hence the photos in this post). Mostly for fun but with a little bit of science thrown in there. Looking forward, I don&#8217;t have so many plans, aside from a job interview in Boston in a few weeks. Mostly [...]]]></description>

		<title>Paralysis of Analysis</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Actually, a lack thereof. This quilt had a deadline and my main goal while making it was to not get bogged down over-think everything. I didn&#8217;t plan it out ahead of time, I didn&#8217;t shop for fabric and I didn&#8217;t let myself think too long about any design decisions. I think my design intuition works [...]]]></description>

		<title>City Museum</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few weeks ago I went to a wedding in St. Louis MO. I had never been there before and I didn&#8217;t know anything about the city other than the fact that it was on the Mississippi River and has a big arch. I was pleasantly surprised about quite a few aspects of the city [...]]]></description>

		<title>Done and Done</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Collegiate national sailing championship: DONE! It went smoothly and the wind cooperated (like it does here in the summer). Whew! A few views of the weekend: Black vs. yellow headed out to the racecourse. In the background you can see the new custom crane which started work the same day as our regatta. To build [...]]]></description>

		<title>Vintage Singer(s)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m adding my 2 cents to the great sewing machine debate. Here is my response to the Sewing Machine Meme from Sew Mama Sew. What brand and model do you have? I have two machines, both 1950&#8242;s Singers. The first is a mocha colored Singer 301 and the second is a black featherweight (221). The [...]]]></description>

		<title>earth day, reprise</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Following last year&#8217;s earth day post I decided to do a short reprise of a few images of earth. Above is the first image sent back by the GOES-11 satellite on May 17th, 2000. You may not be familiar with the GOES satellites directly, but this type of satellite provides all of the visible cloud [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Tour</title>
		<description><![CDATA[photo by DC I&#8217;m feeling fairly overwhelmed lately. I&#8217;m not as stressed out as I was last fall but I don&#8217;t feel like I have much room to breathe. I haven&#8217;t touched my spinning wheel in more than a month. A while back I made some things for a baby shower (discussed in my last [...]]]></description>

		<title>April Showers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My friend and co-worker is having a baby. The fact in itself is not surprising at all, but what is more unusual is that this is the first time I feel involved. By involved, I mean that it has fallen to me to organize things like baby showers and post-birth food deliveries. The new parents [...]]]></description>

		<title>Making a sweater from a molehill</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been spinning now for just about two years exactly.  In fact, I think I had just purchased my wheel days before Stitches West 2007.  I guess I didn&#8217;t dive head first into it, but I&#8217;ve now waded a good way into the spinning world and I&#8217;ve got many skeiens of unknit yarn to show [...]]]></description>
