		<title>Where have I been?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
It&#8217;s been quiet on the blog for the last few months but real life has been busy and bustling. We&#8217;ve had a summer of fabulous sunshine and Rhine swimming coupled with friends visiting, music festivals and mountains. Interspersed there have been many dinners, bbq&#8217;s, crafting, pottery and testing Japanese recipes.
In addition, some life changing events [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thecraftyshrimp.wordpress.com&blog=1057221&post=93&subd=thecraftyshrimp&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Family craft</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Crafting was something we were taught early in our family. When we were little my brother and I would often draw, paint, play with clay, garden, cook or more with my parents as it was part of their &#8220;keep them away from the tele&#8221; regime (very successful and very happy about it now). My mum [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thecraftyshrimp.wordpress.com&blog=1057221&post=89&subd=thecraftyshrimp&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Very late but very loved&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
This is something I&#8217;ve been meaning to write about for ages!! What can I say, life gets in the way as usual with wonderful weather and therefore lots of BBQ&#8217;s and Rhine swimming (the local Basel sport). But tonight it&#8217;s raining so a good time to finally talk about something long overdue. Back in November [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thecraftyshrimp.wordpress.com&blog=1057221&post=86&subd=thecraftyshrimp&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Personal espresso time and a language lesson</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Everyone has their own rituals in the morning whilst waking up&#8230;.but from the no breakfasters via the cereal and fruit people to the fry fanatics, many enjoy a lovely cup of coffee in the morning. My preference is a nice fluffy cappucchino but my brother for example prefers a strong espresso to give the day [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thecraftyshrimp.wordpress.com&blog=1057221&post=83&subd=thecraftyshrimp&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Yellow goodness!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

Just a quick one as it&#8217;s very busy here with visitors and interviews (I&#8217;m in the process of job hunting). On top of that, last Saturday the EURO 2008 madness kicked off with the Swiss-Czech game in Basel last Saturday. Unfortunately, the host country got neither the outcome (they sadly lost) or the weather (it [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thecraftyshrimp.wordpress.com&blog=1057221&post=80&subd=thecraftyshrimp&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

A quick pre-weekend post about a present for a friends baby. It was inspired by this post and books from this lady&#8230; I liked it a lot and was pleased to see it in full &#8220;swing&#8221; on my recent visit to Scotland. I also recently go Lotta Jansdotter her new book on prints which is [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thecraftyshrimp.wordpress.com&blog=1057221&post=71&subd=thecraftyshrimp&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>No more pottery&#8230;.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[


&#8230;.at least with my current teacher. When I got back from our Tassie trip, she announced that she was closing the studio at the end of April. This was pretty sad as I really enjoy making things and she had a fabulous collection of glazes. However, I also had my issues with the class and [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thecraftyshrimp.wordpress.com&blog=1057221&post=69&subd=thecraftyshrimp&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Wedding gift</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
So, the rather lengthy absence started with a wedding. Our good friends Ed&#38;Flick decided to tie the knot in the beautiful location of Brickendon, Tasmania, which made the perfect excuse for a 3 week holiday on this beautiful island and a week spent in and around Melbourne. We had a fab time (more to follow [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thecraftyshrimp.wordpress.com&blog=1057221&post=75&subd=thecraftyshrimp&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Needle holder</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
A birthday present for a knitting fanatic friend. Loosely based on this tutorial but with improvisation and changes. I loved the ribbon from the moment I saw it in Ikea almost 2 years ago and am pleased I finally found a purpose for it. Don&#8217;t make the same mistake as I did though and sew [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thecraftyshrimp.wordpress.com&blog=1057221&post=70&subd=thecraftyshrimp&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Still alive&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[No need to panic people&#8230;.I&#8217;ve not been eaten by Tasmanian devils! Although we saw quite a few of them, they were all friendly (and enclosed) so no danger there. Also not carried of by creepy crawlies or stuck on a deserted island (unfortunately). Just had a fantastic month in Tasmania seeing great friends, enjoying the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thecraftyshrimp.wordpress.com&blog=1057221&post=65&subd=thecraftyshrimp&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
