		<description><![CDATA[This year&#8217;s vegetable garden has yielded countless tomatoes, and there are still plenty ripening on the vines. Two years ago I stitched a lovely little Hardanger doily from a pattern in the 1997 Diana Craft Journal, and took the pattern up a notch by stitching it on 32 count linen with long filament silks.  That [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cross-posted from Sinister Craftiness, because it counts as a remodeling project. There is an unexpected benefit to having newlyweds in the family who live nearby:  they need stuff, and we just happened to have a spare room full of furniture and other items that we just don&#8217;t need any more.  When they got back from [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sinister Craftiness is my new blog devoted entirely to embroidery and quilting projects.  Why Sinister Craftiness?  It seemed more appealing than Stitchin&#8217; With Lefty, though the latter is probably more descriptive of my approach to most projects.  So if you&#8217;re curious about this: or this: &#8230; or anything else I&#8217;m working on, please visit Sinister [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[(With apologies to James Whitcomb Riley and Au Ver à Soie) After finishing the Hardanger centerpieces for Christmas gifts, I vowed that the next Hardanger piece I stitched would be (1) small, and (2) for me.  One out of two isn&#8217;t bad. Early January  I had an idea to give a doily as a gift.  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last summer I decided to embroider several Hardanger table centerpieces as Christmas gifts.   Originally I planned to make four gifts, but by the beginning of December it was clear that there was no way I&#8217;d be able to complete more than three.  Each centerpiece took about two months to embroider, and while I managed [...]]]></description>

Due to the snow and slush, our family holiday party was postponed until Sunday, so even though the final Hardanger project wasn&#8217;t completed in time for Christmas Day, it&#8217;s ready to be shown off at the party.  Plenty of posts to write and photos to sort through over the next several days:  check [...]]]></description>
