This past Saturday morning my friend and extremely talented hairdresser showed up here. Seeing her after 2+ months was a huge thrill! Steph was a big comfort to me after Shannon died, she’d been through a similar experience and was able to relate. She gave me lots of tough love and washed my hair for […]

Paradise?
By Caitlin Jane in friends, from mexico, loveThere’s no denying it’s beautiful here. I went for a drive along the Pacific coast with a friend in his VW Thing yesterday. The goal was to end up at a beach where they release baby turtles. We did find it and paid the 60 pesos each to help (that’s about $5). The problem was […]

Checking In
By Caitlin Jane in food, friends, from mexico, GripingFirst, to be super clear, I realize I don’t need a dog. It’s just that when one is put up on Craigslist for free and it’s spelled adorably incorrectly (“chiwawa”) the temptation is almost too overwhelming. No, I won’t contact them, but I want to, having a companion here would be very nice. Not that […]

Up
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, we have funMy dad took me for a helicopter ride the other day, a first for both of us. It was way cool, zooming over the Niagara River, up to the falls. Yes, I took that picture.

Dear Shannon,

What I’m up to
By Caitlin Jane in caitlin's crap, daily grindThe easiest way to track me online is via instagram and/or twitter. My user name on both is notoriouscjt. Briefly, I gave up the studio on May 31 and put everything in 9′x10′ storage. Everything? Hardly. I farmed out all the paintings, gave away tons of stuff, sold a few things, threw away everything else. […]

The Dresses
By Caitlin Jane in crochet, making stuff is goodAs per request, the dresses. I apologize for the Instagramification of it all, but I’m 100% iPad these days and can’t be bothered to pay for the good photoshop app. I do not have a picture of #1 because it was a test run. The pattern is called The Staple Dress, and it’s designed by […]

Sewing day
By Caitlin Jane in clothes, making stuff is goodSo I finally got glasses. I had a pair years ago, picked while drunk and lost while drunk. They’d never been replaced because they were so expensive I thought all glasses were out of my financial reaches. So I asked for them for my birthday because reading was getting to be stupid. That’s me, today. […]

Bad Endings
By Caitlin Jane in friends, loveThis is all I’m going to write about the last 2 months. A long time ago, 6 years, when I first got back together with Shannon, a lot of people weren’t terribly thrilled. My best friend at the time was particularly unhappy about it, she had been around during the first break up and she […]

I have read every kind email and message and I promise to reply to each one when things calm down a little. And an especially big thank you for all […]
