		<title>Finally Finished Quilt</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Finally, three and a half years after beginning it, I finished the quilt this summer, just in time to enter it in the County Fair.
My goal when I started designing it was to get it hung from the ceiling instead of folded and draped in the quilt nook, and look &#8212; I achieved it!!

 
I got [...]]]></description>

		<title>Home Improvements</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the last few weeks we&#8217;ve had three new skylights added to the kitchen, and all new carpet put in in the living and dining rooms and hallway. 


Kitchen before



Holes in the ceiling



Kitchen after; this is with NO lights on!



Funky light patterns in the deep skylight well

And the carpet&#8230; sorry, I didn&#8217;t take before photos. [...]]]></description>

		<title>More New Babies</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This time, kittens.


We&#8217;ve had them for a week now. They&#8217;re about 9 weeks old, both girls. I hardly have any pictures, though, because most of the time they&#8217;re either under the couch or moving too fast! We haven&#8217;t agreed on names yet; the kids have their ideas and we have ours and, um, they&#8217;re not [...]]]></description>

		<title>The StumpHouse</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We don&#8217;t have good trees for easy treehouse building &#8212; they&#8217;re all pines and firs, straight and tall. But last year, we had some trees taken down and we had the stumps left at about 4 feet tall. For no reason at the time, except that we might want them.
Two of them were conveniently close [...]]]></description>
