A tale of epic kludgery…

By in food

I’m not sure if this will ever appear on the website in question, but as far as I am concerned There! I Fixed It! totally applies to the following: For some reason I decided I’d like to make truffles to hand out at xmas time. I’d looked on foodgawker and Martha Stewart for recipes and […]

Amusements

By in a good day, Art!, haha

I had a super day: I went to ROM all by myself which is a great way to see everything I want to see without worrying if everyone else is having fun. It was so nice, the Vanity Fair show was wonderful, I love portrait photography. Plus it brought me up to the 4th floor […]

Yay for mail!

By in crochet

I got some gorgeous yarn in the mail today, it’s called Banana Problem and it’s from play at life fibre arts. It’s sock yarn but at the rate I knit socks, I doubt that it will ever be footwear. And because I am pretty much exclusively knitting gifts for xmas this year, this will go […]

I ‘pooed!

By in caitlin's crap

I admit it, after almost a year, I shampooed my hair tonight. I’d washed it with Dr. Bronner‘s peppermint soap a couple weeks ago, during the lice fiasco (which, for the record, I didn’t have and do not currently have) and my hair felt so light and clean that after a lot of thought, I’ve […]

The Royal

By in food, we have fun, work

I went to the Royal Winter Fair last Friday with my boss and my dad. It was the first time they’ve met and they got along really well. As always, my favourite part (since they didn’t have any poultry worth looking at) are the giant veggies. This beast is a 32lb beet. Imagine how much […]

Someone has a new best friend.

By in a good day, friends

Remember Puppers? He thinks Shannon is the business. He licked Shannon’s arms so much that I do believe that the tattoos have faded. What a sweet dog and what a lovely family Ashley has. Thank you times eleventy million for your hospitality (AND those steaks, WOW.)

Play/Knit list

By in crochet, love, making stuff is good

I filled my MP3 player with old mixed cds I made 10 years ago and it’s been making me happy. For example today, on my way to and from work here is what I heard: 1. ‘Homeboy’ by Adorable 2. ‘Girl You Know it’s True’ by Milli Vanilli 3.  ‘Money Can’t Buy Me Happiness’ by […]

‘Nother cool thing

By in daily grind

Remember I wrote about the Google ‘next’ button a while ago? And the ‘subscribe’ button? Amazon’s gone ahead and topped those. There’s an ‘add to wishlist’ button for your browser now. It automatically adds whatever piece of amazingness to your wishlist so it’s one stop shopping. Love it.

Busy

By in a good day

Well. Sort of busy. I still have my ears full of Stephen Fry reading Harry Potter to me. I think I love Stephen Fry. He’s amazing. Have you ever watched QI? I mean, maple slurple. Think about that. So I have been watching that too. And, believe it or not, knitting. I’ve finished lots of […]
