		<title>Wardrobe planning</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have friends who are have completely and utterly organized wardrobes.  Clothing is arranged around color schemes, with lots of pieces that mix and match.  They know exactly what they own, and on identifying a hole in their wardrobe they quickly purchase something to fill it.  My friends have enviable, organized closets.  Everything is pared [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=stitchywitch.wordpress.com&blog=349687&post=791&subd=stitchywitch&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>In which I pretend that Christmas is not, in fact, almost here</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My powers of denial are great.  This afternoon it occurred to me that Christmas is next week.  Have I bought any presents?  Nope.  Decorated the house?  Nope, except for the Advent train my sister-in-law gave us, which Marc put out only because, well, it&#8217;s a train.  Sent any Christmas cards?  Nope. And I probably won&#8217;t.

Fabric: Amy Butler cotton, 2.5 yards

Notes: You&#8217;ve probably seen this one before &#8211; it seems like every blogger who makes their own clothes has given this pattern a go.  I can certainly see why &#8211; the pattern is very versatile, and contains 3 nice versions [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=stitchywitch.wordpress.com&blog=349687&post=787&subd=stitchywitch&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What&#8217;s this in the box?

Oh dear&#8230; it seems that someone followed me home from the store&#8230;

I suppose I will have to keep her!  Yes&#8230; I ended up buying a Bernina.  The Aurora 430, to be exact.  I tried Janomes, Vikings, and Brothers also, as those are the other lines I have easy access to, but [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=stitchywitch.wordpress.com&blog=349687&post=785&subd=stitchywitch&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>expensive habits</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One thing I find amusing is when people tell me &#8220;Oh, you must save so much money knitting your own sweaters and making your own clothes.&#8221;  Well&#8230; not so much.  I think I get better quality things (certainly sweaters are terribly overpriced in stores) but none of my hobbies are really very thrifty.  I mean [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=stitchywitch.wordpress.com&blog=349687&post=781&subd=stitchywitch&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

and sewing

and ironing&#8230; lots of ironing&#8230;

ending up with these!

I&#8217;m following the quilt along at Oh, Fransson.  I like that the blocks get progressively harder, and I also love how complete her tutorials are for each step.  I feel like I&#8217;m learning so much!  These were my first [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=stitchywitch.wordpress.com&blog=349687&post=777&subd=stitchywitch&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Crafting memory</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was not a crafty child.  Honestly, if you had told me ten years ago that I would love crafting this much I would have laughed at you.  I always hated craft night at Girl Scouts because I felt that my crafts never came out as well as everyone else&#8217;s.  My middle school art teacher [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=stitchywitch.wordpress.com&blog=349687&post=773&subd=stitchywitch&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
