		<title>Tip for Getting Evenly Sized Cupcakes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here is my best cupcake making tip..
The best &#38; easiest way to get even cupcakes is to use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to fill your cupcake liners.  A measuring cup guarantees that your cupcakes will be evenly sized and I&#8217;ve found 1/4 cup to be the perfect size for getting nice moderate domes on [...]]]></description>

		<title>La Neckerchief Scarf &#8211; Free Pattern</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was a girl scout roller derby girl for Halloween, so it only seems right that I move on to the boy scouts next.  I&#8217;m picturing a vintage Norman Rockwell type boy scout, with a big red neckerchief &#8211; not the anemic ones they wear now.  This was the inspiration for La Neckerchief &#8211; a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bread Baking</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My mom was recently lamenting the lack of good bread around here. So I bought a copy of Peter Reinhart&#8217;s Artisan Breads Every Day.  I&#8217;ve been meaning to try out it out for a few weeks but the recipes generally involve allowing the dough to sit in the fridge overnight, I just hadn&#8217;t gotten [...]]]></description>

		<title>Behold the Batter Blaster</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have been secretly coveting Batter Blaster since I spotted it in the refrigerator cases in the local grocery store but it&#8217;s $6 for a slightly-larger-than-whipped-cream sized can.  But yesterday it was on sale! So I bought it and made some pancakes.
You shake the can up and squirt it out like whipped cream. It has [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lacy Wristwarmers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve had it in my head that I wanted to design a simple lacy wristwarmer/fingerless glove using some Malabrigo Silky Merino. However I&#8217;ve had a hard time coming up with the right lace pattern. Today I finally figured it out and knitted up a sample.  I need to write up the pattern so I can [...]]]></description>

		<title>Antler Cat Prints</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here are the very first prints I did all on my own. On the second day of my class we worked independently on a press. In the morning I used the 5&#215;8 Kelsey but the boxcar base on it was too small for my plate. So I ended up using one Amber had which was [...]]]></description>

		<title>I Heart Letterpress</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I loves me some letterpress so I was super excited to finally take a letterpress class this weekend. The class was offered by the Center for Book Arts and called Polymer and the Platen Press. Our amazing instructor was Amber McMillan.
I&#8217;ve had a Kelsey press for a couple of years but I&#8217;ve never had any [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cupcake Serveware</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have to admit I&#8217;m one of those people with a closet full of pedestals, platters, and other serveware. I don&#8217;t think I have ever left HomeGoods without buying something. I have a particular affection for finding cute ways to server cupcakes. Here are a few neat ones I&#8217;ve seen recently.

		<title>Playing with Wire Crochet</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was playing around with wire crochet today. My first attempts were just crocheted wire but I changed it up to crochet around a larger gauge wire form. I thin this is better because it helps the piece retain its shape.

I used 32 gauge cheapo wire from Michaels. I tried it single, doubled and tripled [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mom&#8217;s Red Velvet Birthday Cake</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last week was my mom&#8217;s birthday and she requested a red velvet cake. I normally make cupcakes for birthdays but occasionally I do make layer cakes.
I used Magnolia&#8217;s Red Velvet Cake recipe. It says it maked 3 9&#8243; rounds but I only had 8&#8243; pans and it turned out fine. The cake was a bit [...]]]></description>
