Clouds

By in Art!, Griping

I know I haven’t been updating as regularly as I used to: I haven’t been in the right mood. I try to keep my blog positive (or lightly complainatory) and if I wrote what I’ve really been thinking about lately, your hair would fall out. Or you’d get that glazed, glassy eyed look so many […]

Work, work, work

By in a good day, Art!, making stuff is good, work

That’s all I do. Well. Not really. But because I don’t technically work many hours, I try to keep busy doing other stuff during the day so I don’t feel like an entire waste of time. Knitting, cooking, baking, sewing, all that kind of good stuff. And once the weather is a tiny bit warmer, […]

Still life with a 6 year old

By in Art!, fucking weird man, haha

Assuming it was Ari that set this Ken doll up before she left for vacation…He’s wearing Barbie’s pants, Happy Meal toy mask and one of his own boots on his arm. And I have NO IDEA what it means but I like it.

Grr.

By in a good day, we have fun, work

Angry because my computer crashed and I hadn’t saved my blog post about our trip to Vancouver. It wasn’t big, no, but still. Anyway, it was a good trip, I loved the hotel we stayed at just because it was new and uber swanky. So swanky there were extremely fancy cars always parked outside-like the […]

Pillows I have been tempted by

By in Griping, haha, hmmmm

I actually stared at the first one for a long, long time and thought about a practical joke my parents played on wealthy friends of theirs a million years ago. The next 2 aren’t as cool, but I can tell you that they are very soft. And tempting. And kind of gross. And not tempting […]

Mail

By in a good day, caitlin's crap

I got the ring I ordered from Midwest Alchemy in the mail today, it’s awesome. I’d always wanted a ring with emeralds-my birth stone-and now I have it. And if anyone was wondering, my birthday is exactly 2 months from today. Get crackin’!

Wing ding

By in fucking weird, hmmmm

I woke up from a very strange dream yesterday: that Rush Limbaugh had come out of the closet to a not terribly positive reception. I was somehow friends with him or maybe an aide or assistant and he was a total mess, his shirt stained, his hair sticking up and dirty. He was a sad, […]

Further adventures at V.V.

By in Griping, haha, hmmmm

You may well be wondering why I go to Value Village so often, and that’s very reasonable. I’m on the hunt for vintage percale sheets. That is ALL. Well, ok, you never know when you really will find a treasure, I also look at hand knit sweaters and for yarn/crafting supplies. I’ve never found anything […]

Beautiful babies

By in babies

I’ve been super lucky to have spent the last 2 weekends hanging out with old friends and their gorgeous (and well behaved!) children. No favourites here, they’re all lovely and somewhat jealous making. Here’s Molly Jane, the grand finale to Ryan and Corrie‘s family.  She’s got navy blue eyes, 2 teeth and no worries in […]

Quilting

By in crochet

I’m slowly but surely getting used to using Ubuntu. It’s been rather frustrating at times but at this point I have no desire to return to windows, and specifically Vista, at all. I just need to figure out how to get my Sirius to work. Anyway, here are the 2 more interesting fabrics I got […]
