		<title>A Full Plate: Comfort Food</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Have you ever thought about your life being a full plate? Family, friends, work, hobbies, travels, life experiences and more - all are arranged on your plate. Sometimes they are arranged in a way that is comforting and satisfying; other times they are arranged in ways that seem to be overflowing and not enjoyable.

Earlier this [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8230;bring May flowers; however, they didn&#8217;t bring the Yarn Harlot to Chicago.

This past week was a lovely week of almost summerlike weather. On Friday, spring storms rolled in &#38; wreaked havoc on plane travel in the area. Stephanie was scheduled to speak down on the south side of Chicago on Friday evening - so, on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Spring Green</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Springtime in Chicago is unique every year. Sometimes it comes early - sometimes it comes late - sometimes it seems like we go straight from winter to summer. With the winter that we&#8217;ve had this year, I&#8217;m not sure what it will be - although the sun and warmth that is creeping in this week gives [...]]]></description>

		<title>With a Cherry (Blossom) on Top!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
As I knit Rebecca&#8217;s &#8220;Cherry Blossom Neckwarmer&#8221; in January, I had no idea that I would see cherry blossoms this spring. This past weekend Jen &#38; I went to Washington DC for a girl&#8217;s weekend and enjoyed the National Cherry Blossom Festival. While our feet may be tired from all the walking that we did, [...]]]></description>

		<title>We&#8217;ll Have Fun, Fun, Fun&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Many things come to mind for the letter F - family, friends, faith, flowers, and more. My trip to Dallas last weekend to celebrate Easter with Miss Butterfly and Miss Doodlebug encompassed many of these things. The overarching theme of my trip was yet another F&#8230;
F is for FUN

March has been a pretty busy week at [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Easter Song</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The blog may have been quiet for most of this month; however, life has been keeping me pretty busy. I have several things I want to blog about but those will have to wait for another day. Before I head out for a trip to Dallas to celebrate Easter with Miss Butterfly &#38; Miss Doodlebug&#8230;

		<title>Doing Dishes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Based on my knitting history, my choice for the letter D should come as no surprise.
D is for Dishcloths

As a child, I always remember a handknit cotton dishcloth hanging over the sink or faucet in the kitchen. These dishcloths were the only thing that mom would use to wash dishes, clean counters, deal with the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Weekend Brunch</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I was younger, I remember brunches on the weekend being a special thing. Since moving to Chicago, a weekend brunch with friends is a pretty regular happening. Many great restaurants in the city have delicious menus with so many options - do you pick a savory item, a sweet item, go with the buffet [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ah Capri!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had a few ideas for my &#8220;C is for&#8230;&#8221; post. However, the recent winter weather monotony (40&#8243; + of snow so far, 3 1/2 hour commutes in a snow storm, getting stuck in the ice/snow banks in the alley while backing into the garage, the ever changing obstacle course of avoiding monster potholes, etc.) [...]]]></description>

		<title>Blooms &#038; Blossoms</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have always liked flowers - both in nature and in art. Whenever I visit a museum I&#8217;m apt to pick up a postcard or print of any flower art that I&#8217;ve seen. On one bedroom wall is a collage of assorted prints from Redon, Renoir, Redoute and Cezanne. In the dining room, the floral bouquets of [...]]]></description>
