Guilt
By Caitlin Jane in toysSo, as I already stated, I am Atheist, but I did live with an Irish/Italian Catholic for a few years and his good old fashioned guilt must have rubbed off on me a bit because right now I am compelled to admit something.

Kumihimo ATE MY BALLS!!
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, making stuff is goodAnd if you don’t know what kumihimo is, check this link. I used the pdf templates linked under looms. Anyway, it’s all Nicole’s fault, I tell ya.

Craft corner
By Caitlin Jane in caitlin's crap, dollhouseI have my very own little work space and I couldn’t be happier about that. There’s tons of storage (I even took over the old film refrigerator) and all my fabric, yarn, buttons, feathers, beads, spangles and whatnot is there and available. Today Rose helped me tweak my sewing machine and it seems to be […]
