Our poor pumpkins stayed inside and have paid the price. We don’t even have the heat on very high. Mine seems to be melting, there’s a puddle under her, and her eyes are more like craisins than maraschino cherries. Her teeth also seem to be shrinking. Shannon and Ari’s pumpkin has interior measles. They will […]

Corrections
By Caitlin Jane in Art!, hmmmm, making stuff is goodWhen I wrote out the rippled sock scarf pattern, I made a few mistakes. Here are the patterns, as they should be, with close ups for reference. 1. Chain 37, turn, skip the first chain, single crochet all the way down=36. 2. *Skip first chain, 1 dc in next 3 ch, 3 dc in next […]

Typical day
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, workI had the funniest conversation with the woman I work for today. She loves being vague, as you’ll see: Me: Did you get an email from Julia lately? T: Not yet. Me: Did you get one yesterday? T: Almost. Me: You almost got one yesterday? T: Probably. Me: Are you trying to make me crazy? […]

Further autumnal rambling
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, Art!, foodShannon’s already writing about our afternoon of pumpkin carving, so I won’t bore you with the details. I will cause jealousy by telling you how good the pumpkin seeds smell while roasting in the oven (325 for 25 minutes, drizzled with olive oil and salt). They are popping! They have similar teeth. Erm, and eyes. […]

Fall foilage
By Caitlin Jane in a good dayIt’s colder outside and fall is definitely here. I love this time of year: nothing beats kicking through dry leaves and pumpkin carving. When we moved here I knew the view would be pretty this time of year and I was right! Also, sock scarf #2 is finished and just needs to be blocked and […]

Work, work, work
By Caitlin Jane in Art!, making stuff is goodI finally finished sock scarf #1. It’s not terribly long and the yarn is a little itchy (which I think can be cured by washing it) but I really like it. Included in the picture is the world’s tastiest necklace-at least according to Emily’s children. I forgot to wear it the last time I saw […]

Grrrrr…hahaha
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, haha, we have funSo I did my zombie makeup and took a bunch of pictures and realized that it’s so hard to take a serious self portrait in zombie makeup and laughed my head off… Because I went through the pictures and saw this: I think I am going to skip the teeth. They look ridiculous and they […]

I love you, that’s why you must let me eat your brains
By Caitlin Jane in clothes, we have funAs you already know, tomorrow is the big zombie walk here in Toronto. I’d never even heard of it until last year, when I was at work on a Sunday afternoon and an enormous crowd of zombies staggered past the window and-I think-tried to eat my brains. I got my dress at Value Village a […]

Hat pattern
By Caitlin Jane in Art!, making stuff is goodAs per request, best of luck deciphering it. I used Bernat Alpaca blend, which is a thicker yarn, and I think an H hook. But that might not be correct, but it’s a thicker one, Chain 3, use a slip stitch to attach into a ring. 1.Ch3 (first dc), work 10 dc’s into ring, sl […]

Serious addiction
By Caitlin Jane in Art!, making stuff is goodSince I started my first sock scarf, I have fallen in serious love with this yarn. The colours are great and the price (around $15 CAD with tax) ain’t too shabby. Scarf number two made for some serious fiddling last night, trying to decide on a pattern, and I ended up going with what I […]
