		<title>Trench Art from Modern Conflicts: A Helmet, Courtesy of Scott Vezeau</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve had a long interest in trench art since discovering its existence (discussed in my post: Trench Art from WWI &#38; WWII). One of the things I have been interested in is trench art from modern day conflicts. I haven&#8217;t been able to find any trench art from after Vietnam. Scott Vezeau, who was deployed [...]]]></description>

		<title>Framed Pin-up War Matchbook Covers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I collect matchbook covers, and thankfully eBay recently indulged me by selling me some cheap old covers that combine several of my interests: war, pin-ups, matchbooks, and witty expressions. These matchbook covers have proven hard to display, although they are lovely. For example, Mozart&#8217;s features a naval pin-up girl and the phrase &#8220;Naughty Nautical.&#8221; The [...]]]></description>

		<title>Christmas Soda Tab Wreath</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have a ridiculous amount of soda tabs, given to me by many people over many years. The collection started when my sister gave me her collection. They are pretty useless to me overall. This year I was given a blank wreath and I decides to make use of it this Christmas and invent the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cheap and Easy Framed Books</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I love my Dollar Tree, which has tons of $1 frames. I saw a perfect melding of cheap frames + cheap paperbacks. At a $10 cost, I turned some of my vintage paperbacks into a focal point in my bedroom. The books that ended up fitting in the frames were mostly juvenile literature, but I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tim Tams in the US</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was shocked to see Tim Tams at Giant today, even marked with &#8220;Australia&#8217;s Favorite Cookie.&#8221; They are $2.99 a pack and come in original and caramel (none of the other Dangerous Liason flavors). I have no idea why they are here but I am happy and can&#8217;t wait to report how they compare to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tie Dye Experiments</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My friend Courtney coordinated an awesome tie dye event. I haven&#8217;t tie dyed since Girl Scouts so I was excited. She bought soda ash and assorted dyes and we all brought various white garments we bought from local thrift stores beforehand. The actual tie dying was really fun. There are so many different techniques available [...]]]></description>

		<title>Neck Tie School Bag</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I finally sewed my neck tie bag. I followed a lot of the other examples on Craftster.org but made it a lot more simple. I haven&#8217;t really sewed before, but this project was pretty easy. I used black thread and the zig zag stitch. The top has a zipper. I didn&#8217;t line it or do anything fancy. I&#8217;ve been [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pretty Virginia</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Virginia is pretty this time of year. So pretty. I wish I could make some fall inspired scarves out of crocheted wool leaves. I don&#8217;t know how to crochet or if you can crochet leaves but it would make an awesome scarf&#8230;]]></description>

		<title>Old Wooden Crate Wall Decor</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I went apple picking in Winchester, VA, with friends and had an awesome time. Apple picking is great and makes me wish I could can things and do other types of domestic cookery tasks. While there I saw that the top part of the wall of one of the buildings had a ton of stacked [...]]]></description>

		<title>Most Giant Hoop Earrings Ever</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I saw these at Dots on Little River Turnpike in Alexandria today and had to take a photo. I documented the hooks to prove they are not really bangles. Seriously, who is wearing these things!?]]></description>
