		<title>Summer Days</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have been quiet, I know. Summer days have completely taken over me. My family and I have been basking in the glorious sunshine and hanging out with old and new friends. Usually I&#8217;m away exploring new territories in the summer but this year, since we&#8217;re still training Dexter, I&#8217;m simply enjoying being able to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Life with Dexter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ve had Dexter for almost two months now. And even though it took me a while before agreeing to having a dog in the house, I must admit that I&#8217;m glad we have one now. For one thing, it&#8217;s teaching my girls responsibility. For example, Mica wakes up early in the morning to take Dexter [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fireworks and a Viking Game</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Happy Independence Day America! It&#8217;s funny reminiscing how, when I moved in the U.S., it felt weird watching fireworks on July 4th when I grew up watching fireworks on New Year&#8217;s Eve. Now it seems so natural &#8211; fireworks in the summer.








We spent the day hanging out with great friends who introduced us to Kubb, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Crocheted Mary Jane Shoes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[










Catching up on some saved tv shows with the family. So while watching an episode of &#8220;So You Think You Can Dance&#8221;, I crocheted a pair of shoes for Rinoa using worsted weight yarn and jute for the sole. (I got the pattern on Etsy.) I made a pair for my 1-year old niece as [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Great Big Stitched Postcard</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s nearing the end of the month and I&#8217;m scrambling to finish some projects for swaps that are all due this week.











&#8220;You Are Worth the Time&#8221;  Altered Postcard





This altered postcard is for the Great Big Stitched Postcard Swap hosted by Beth Nicholls in the UK. I&#8217;m sending it to Cat Conidi in Australia.
The inspiration [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mixed Media Technique: Singed Art + A Very Funny Story</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the cover of my Nostalgia Art Journal, I&#8217;ve incorporated some burnt book pages. Burning is an interesting way to add an aged, weathered look to art projects. I like the unpredictable results I get from burning paper.








The scheduled brownouts in my hometown when I was a child gave lots of opportunities to play with [...]]]></description>

		<title>Friday Art: Zentangles</title>
		<description><![CDATA[







Zentangles by Mica Redington (13 years old)











Zentangles by Rinoa Redington (5 years old)





Both Mica and Rinoa did a great job with their zentangles. Rinoa gave up coloring in the middle of her project, complaining that her hand was tired. I think it looks great just partly colored.

		<title>A Superstar is Born</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is the culmination of Rinoa&#8217;s yearlong dance lessons &#8211; her very first dance recital. I&#8217;m so proud of her. She did really well. And she was smiling the whole time. (It&#8217;s funny, you know how you watch kids perform and you see them mess up but through a parent&#8217;s eyes, the child undeniably shines [...]]]></description>

		<title>You Are Worth the Time</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been having computer problems since Monday and instead of getting frustrated about it, I&#8217;ve taken it as a cue to spend more time with my projects and recently-purchased books. In the meanwhile that Troy is making sure that my computer doesn&#8217;t mess with me anymore anytime soon, I&#8217;d like to share this very inspirational [...]]]></description>

		<title>Inside the Nostalgia Art Journal</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s a peek inside my Nostalgia Art Journal. The pages are made from old books and magazines, brown paper bags, recycled mail envelopes, maps, and other found paper. This journal is very close to my heart because it&#8217;s very representative of me &#8211; from the pages that I used to how I put them and [...]]]></description>
