		<title>He swims! He Dives! He&#8217;s Aquaboy!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve mentioned that a couple of weeks before his fourth birthday, The Boy took flight and was able to start swimming on his own. He has wanted this for so long and suddenly everything just clicked and he started swimming like a little eel, or water lizard, or whatever animal that swims [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bettex.wordpress.com&blog=1154735&post=204&subd=bettex&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;The Devil&#8221; is Pretty</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Just before I left for vacation, the editor of Belle Armoire magazine, Jenny Doh, contacted me and said she wanted to feature some of my work in their magazine. If you&#8217;ve never seen Belle Armoire, it&#8217;s a gorgeous glossy magazine with international distribution. French for “beautiful wardrobe,” Belle Armoire® has the tagline &#8220;Art to Wear&#8221; and showcases &#8220;one-of-a-kind, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bettex.wordpress.com&blog=1154735&post=201&subd=bettex&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Staying in a hotel: tip</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Here’s a tip. Whenever you stay in a hotel/motel, make sure to check the alarm clock before you go to bed. Especially if you DON’T want to wake up at a certain time in the morning. Usually hotels/motels have alarm clocks that are loud enough to wake the dead, so you definitely don’t want it [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bettex.wordpress.com&blog=1154735&post=199&subd=bettex&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Please don&#8217;t ask me to do your mending</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yes, it&#8217;s been quite exciting to get so much validation and attention recently as an artist/craftster. People have been more than generous with their compliments. Too much so sometimes (that&#8217;s another posting).But one of the odd side-effects of people seeing you designing and making clothing is that they finally know someone (even if they&#8217;ve just [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bettex.wordpress.com&blog=1154735&post=197&subd=bettex&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>The Boy&#8217;s Fourth Birthday</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
So last Thursday The Boy turned 4. I won&#8217;t go on and on here about how quickly they grow up (they do), or how amazed I am that I made it this far (I am). I will tell you that this event has really got me thinking a lot about what I value in life [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bettex.wordpress.com&blog=1154735&post=188&subd=bettex&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Cats in the Cradle</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Like many of my women friends with sons, I can get a little frustrated that people are always telling me not only that my son LOOKS just like my husband (does he?), but reminds them of my husband. In fact, my son reminds ME a lot of my husband. Evolutionarily speaking, they say this is [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bettex.wordpress.com&blog=1154735&post=169&subd=bettex&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
