So, just to mess with everyone’s head a little more (and especially mine) I made little mini quilt squares this morning to fiddle around a little, easier than spreading the entire thing out on the floor (in reality, each square is 8.5″ each side). In order (as in, continuing from the first three) 4. 5. […]

Red shoes and fiaries
By Caitlin Jane in haha, seriously?, we have funHot day here. I was wearing jeans until I practically melted. We’re doing fireworks later, after the sun sets. There’s a mountain of them-I left the store so I wouldn’t hear the total bill-and I’m excited. At the firework store, which doubles as a costume store, I took this picture: It’s wrong on pretty much […]

Decisions, decisons
By Caitlin Jane in Art!, crochet, making stuff is goodThe original fabric I was going to use for the background of this quilt did not work out so well (it was a black light weight denim) so I had to do some quick improv. I wound up getting fabric at Ikea because…well, because it’s cheap there. I couldn’t make up my mind, like, when […]

Singa songa sixpence
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, Art!, crochet, making stuff is goodSewing, sewing, sewing. Ironing, cutting, bandaging blisters and more sewing. Yes, I have a blister on my pinkie finger. From scissors. I’m intense, it seems, with shears. Today I spent about 3 hours at the workroom organizing my previously sewn together bits which were then pressed open with spray starch and a dry iron. Sorted […]

All weekend
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, crochet, we have funOn Friday I went to see my first Jays’ game of the season. It was freezing cold up in the nose bleeds, wind gusting and T and I snuggled up. It was one heck of a game, Jays won 16-10, so that was exciting. And the young couple beside us who’d smuggled in their own […]

By Caitlin Jane in a good day, loveTurning 38 is much worse than turning 37. It’s been a hell of a year, lemme tell you. I’d write the details, but it’s my birthday and I want to stay in a good mood. This year I got the biggest gifts-a Mustang and a refrigerator. Yep. And flowers, the prettiest bouquet I have ever […]

Knee update
By Caitlin Jane in UncategorizedIt’s looking better although it’s got a long way to go before I’ll feel normal. It actually reminds me of my childhood, was there a time when I didn’t have some major scab action happening? Shannon can’t see the bruising irl but I sure can. No, I didn’t fiddle the colour in this picture, just […]

Proof.
By Caitlin Jane in friends, love, Old crapI’ve always been this cool. And here’s how you can tell: I went to see The Who in 1989 when I was 17. It was at the CNE when the Grandstand was still open, that’s where the Blue Jays played before the Skydome opened. It was an amazing place for concerts, it’s also where I […]

But just a bit
By Caitlin Jane in clothes, fucking weird man, we have funI went to Niagara Falls, NY on Thursday. My mom took me cross border shopping, it was great. Got some alsome scores at my beloved Target (I mean, 100 antihistamines for just over $4? Heck yes!) and we had lunch at a sweet restaurant called “Mom’s”. See? For Mother’s Day? Haha, right? The joke was […]

Latest project
By Caitlin Jane in crochet, making stuff is goodI decided to use up my scraps from my original sampler quilt to do an English paper piecing project. It’s a lot of cutting, pinning, cutting, basting, organizing and sewing. And it’s double the amount of basting for me because-guess what!-I don’t like to read instructions and did them totally wrong. It’s tiny, that whole […]
