On Shannon’s request. Darn iphone, I’m hopeless at self portraiture with a regular camera, iphones make it nearly impossible. The makeup looked way better in my mind and a little better before I tried to use one of last year’s contact lenses. That was a mistake, my eye still hurts. Thanks to Gillian too, for […]

Good night, fair ratty
By Caitlin Jane in kittyI always scream when I almost step on a dead animal. It happens more often than you’d think, in a big city. Last week it was a tiny finch on the sidewalk, this week a junior rat. I came upon her very near the red squirrel I found over a year ago. The restaurant on […]

Freddie!
By Caitlin Jane in babies, foodFirst and foremost, I have to extend a huge welcome to Laura‘s new baby boy, Frederick Theodore Guenther Mordaunt who weighed in at 9lbs 14oz. He’s a whopper! After only 16.5 hours of labour, way to go! Congratulations too to Laura’s husband Adam (who does not wear thong underwear) and to big sister Ella (who […]

Skurrcrow
By Caitlin Jane in fucking weird man, haha, seriously?What’s wrong with this picture? It took me a minute of brain wracking to really figure it out. At first I wondered what kind of underwear he was wearing. Then I wondered what his nipple piercings were attached to…under there. Really. I really wondered that. Then I realized that whoever put this festive scarecrow decoration […]

All wore out.
By Caitlin Jane in caitlin's crap, clothesWhen Shannon and I went out for dinner a couple weeks ago I realized I had pretty much nothing in the nice department to wear. No dressy shoes or boots either. It was difficult to get ready, but I managed. Somehow. So why is it that all shoes seem to disintegrate at the same time? […]

Glove love
By Caitlin Jane in crochet, making stuff is goodI’d been wanting to make fingerless gloves for a long time and struggled with patterns and yarns and with general apathy. And didn’t make one . I also felt extreme guilt about not finishing my dad’s xmas socks from last year, but I soldiered on and finally came up with a pattern I could use: […]

Mt. Rebar
By Caitlin Jane in seriously?, we have funSpotted around the corner from my house, at the deconstruction site. It’s at least 10 feet high and is like a giant nest of bent up rebar mixed with chunks of cement. It’s prettier than you’d think. It’s exactly as cool as you think. I’m taking Ari to play on it tomorrow. Hey, we’re up […]

Tiny sweater #2
By Caitlin Jane in babies, crochet, making stuff is goodIt’s green wool and stiffer than the first but just as cute. I followed the pattern more closely this time and it came out pretty much perfectly. Now I must figure out footwear. I tried today but failed miserably…

It’s hardly work at all
By Caitlin Jane in babies, crochet, making stuff is goodLately it feels-around these parts-that Shannon and I are competing at being the most productive/creative. His soaps and candles and candies are amazing and inspirational. 2 nights ago I found an adorable, free pattern for a knit cardigan on Purl Bee. I though, hey, I have lots of small ends of sock yarn, I could […]
