Since learning how to make zipper pouches a couple weeks ago at the workroom, it’s pretty much all I do/think about. They are a fast, easy project and use up small bits of fabric that we all seem to have hanging around taking up precious crafting space. I know I have made more than this […]

Super frustration.
By Caitlin Jane in GripingThere is no way that I am the only person in the world that hates itunes. I mean, come on. It’s insane. Don’t get me wrong, I love my iphone and ipad, I love them to DEATH, but I have to update them occasionally and that means itunes is my only choice. But guess what? […]

Snort.
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, caitlin's crap, seriously?Seems it was pig day at the Village today. Yes, I still go there. No, the pigs weren’t organized as such, I did that. It was easy though, there were so many. These guys weren’t the only ones either. Or the ugliest. See what they did there? It says “PIG” just in case you couldn’t […]

Little things that count
By Caitlin Jane in Art!, making stuff is goodShannon cast a bunch of Ari’s Barbie faces the other day so I got to work painting the smallest one as a zombie. The eyes were drilled out and I sewed it onto my jacket and I think it looks totally adorbz. It’s scary AND cute. Just the way I like everything in my life. […]

New Obsession
By Caitlin Jane in Art!, seriously?I read a post on thehairpin about nails a couple weeks ago and was inspired. I’ve always liked nail polish (despite the normal, raggedy state of my fingernails) and already had a decent collection but decided to buy some of the skinny bottles and do some experimentation. Let’s just say that it wasn’t easy at […]

Little yellow trousers
By Caitlin Jane in love, making stuff is goodAnother toy I made using a pattern from one of the Aranzi Aronzo books. It’s pinned onto my judy that’s wearing my favourite Barbra Streisand wig. Also pinned are the certificate of authenticity for my engagement ring, a tank top pattern cut from a shopping bag, small pink Easter bunny toy, the small bird mola […]

All kinds of stuff.
By Caitlin Jane in Art!, making stuff is goodBut mostly sewing. I mean only sewing. What I am willing to reveal: Mug rug (it’s cutesy-poo, I know, but nicer than the coffee stains that were beginning to get a little out of control on the armrest beside me): So it’s quilted by hand, did that during the Oscars. Yes, I love Heather Ross. […]

Picture free update.
By Caitlin Jane in Art!, books and reading, crochet, daily grind, dollhouse, food, making stuff is goodSo it looks like it’s been 2 weeks since my last update, sorry. Where does the time go? Frankly, I don’t know. I mean, I have made 4 quilt tops (and finished one completely including binding), sewn 90 triangle flags for a bunting (they are 6″ across, 9″ long and not quite finished yet) had […]

How the mighty have fallen!
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, daily grindI sure wish I had been there when it crashed to the ground. I mean, not under it, HA HA! but near by. Yes, I know what you’re thinking: Caitlin must live in one classy building if people can afford to throw away such beautiful couches. Well, it’s true, I do live in a class […]

Leggo my Lego
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, toysThe art supply store near work sells these mystery minifigs and I got addicted to them on their second run. They come one to a package and you never know what’s inside. Or do you? On the second run there were special bar codes on each pack and you could look them up and you’d […]
