		<title>Easter Eggs pattern</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Did you know it&#8217;s less than a month until Easter? I&#8217;m a little bored with pastel coloured eggs and I thought I&#8217;d try to come up with an Easter decoration that&#8217;s a little more contemporary and sophisticated. Using a limited colour pattern of chocolate brown (yum!) and ice blue, I&#8217;ve designed 8 different eggs (4 [...]]]></description>

		<title>Detail Stuffing Tool</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m so excited to launch my new product today! The Detail Stuffing Tool came about because it&#8217;s really difficult to stuff tiny things, or to get that last bit of stuffing in before you close up a hole. After making a million AmiDogs legs (that&#8217;s what it feels like, anyway!) and other tiny pieces that [...]]]></description>

		<title>climbing the walls</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Finding space for all my creations is a bit of a challenge! I&#8217;ve come up with a novel solution for my amigurumi gecko, so I thought I&#8217;d share&#8230;
When we were in Hawaii, the geckos we saw could climb straight up vertical walls, thanks to their special toe pads. We always saw them climbing around window [...]]]></description>

		<title>poison dart frog crochet pattern</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Remember my polymer clay frog from a couple of weeks ago? I decided to follow my own suggestion and remake it in crochet. As with the clay version, this is the &#8216;Blue Jeans&#8217; colour morph of the Strawberry Poison Dart Frog (Dendrobates pumilio), with a distinctive red body and blue legs:

This adorable tiny tropical frog [...]]]></description>

		<title>yarn ho!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m fortunate to live only an hour&#8217;s drive away from the Bernat/Patons Yarn Factory Outlet store (in Listowel, ON). Twice a year, they have a massive sale, and it&#8217;s winter sale time again! Last winter, I went to the same sale, had an amazing time and bought a boatload of yarn. This year, it was a [...]]]></description>

		<title>free pattern: amigurumi balloons</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What better way to celebrate than with a bunch of balloons? Made in pastels like these, they&#8217;d be perfect for baby shower decorations or for Easter. Made in bolder colours, they&#8217;d brighten any occasion!

(I certainly want to celebrate after being involved in a minor car crash yesterday: it could have been so much worse, but [...]]]></description>

		<title>post-deadline goals</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Now I&#8217;m over my deadline, I finally have time to make a dent in the huge to-do list of ideas I&#8217;ve amassed over the past few months while I&#8217;ve been too busy to work on any of them. I have 4 projects on the go already, but &#8216;reorganise craft room/office&#8217; has to be the most [...]]]></description>

		<title>photo studio for craft tutorials</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday on Twitter I let slip that I had just turned in the manuscript for my new book! I&#8217;m so excited &#8211; I&#8217;ve been wanting to write this book for a long time and I&#8217;ve finally had the chance. I&#8217;ll share details of the book itself closer to publication &#8211; there&#8217;s still a long process [...]]]></description>

		<title>strawberry poison-dart frog sculpture</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over Christmas, we watched David Attenborough&#8217;s fantastic Life series, and I&#8217;ve had tiny frogs on the brain ever since&#8230;
I worked so hard all day yesterday (on the secret project) that I was begging myself to do something relaxing and unrelated to work last night, so I got out the polymer clay and started mixing colours [...]]]></description>

		<title>AmiDogs Airedale Terrier</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Would you believe I made this pattern over Christmas, and haven&#8217;t had a chance to publish it yet?! Time to change that &#8211; please allow me to introduce you to my Airedale Terrier. Called &#8216;King of Terriers&#8217; because it is the largest British terrier, it has a very distinctive appearance with its squared-off body shape [...]]]></description>
