		<description><![CDATA[I worked wardrobe for a dance show over the weekend. I brought my trusty-not-so-rusty spindle with me, because I promised another woman I&#8217;d show her how to spin. So, imagine my surprise when it turned out that the tour manager for the show was also an avid spinner&#8230; Somewhere, there&#8217;s a photo of the three [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s the thing: this site relies on research. Sometimes I quote or show pictures of copy written materials. If I can&#8217;t show you, dear reader, the occasional bit of research, then what? You just have to take my word on it? The current version of the SOPA bill allows websites to be censored and cut [...]]]></description>

I think it&#8217;s kind of adorable when they actually go door-to-door selling their little cookies &#8211; way better than sending a parent in to the office/theater/classroom with a sign-up sheet. And when I could [...]]]></description>

By &#8220;a teensy little bustle&#8221;, I mean something that sticks out roughly 24&#8243; behind her. You know, no bigs&#8230; So what&#8217;s going on under there?

		<description><![CDATA[Nothing makes a pant look as fantastically olde-timey as a fall front. Unfortunately, a real fall front is a pain in the patouty to sew (trust me), and it&#8217;s not something that can be added in after the fact in any sort of historically accurate manner. Fortunately, if you&#8217;re not 100% concerned about authenticity, it&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

Life&#8217;s been a little crazy lately. Great/fantastic/amazing (grantasticazing?), but crazy.
