		<description><![CDATA[Rose pendant
Most of the making work I do for my business is what I&#8217;d term &#8216;production work&#8217; - creating items which are not one-off designs and which are intended to sell and be worn by my customers.

		<description><![CDATA[2008 has been a very difficult year for me - at least so far.  
It&#8217;s such a shame as I&#8217;d had such high hopes for so many exciting things getting underway this year, but so far I&#8217;ve been dogged by health issues and unexpectedly high demands from my four day a week job, which [...]]]></description>

My destination was to have been Melbourne, but after getting to the [...]]]></description>
