And other stuff too, I haven’t stopped being busy this week, not even once. First, as we know, Ali had her baby, who goes by Baby Clay. Or Babby Clay. And because she refused to tell anyone the gender before he was born, I was hoping for a girl so I could pass on the […]

Green quilt
By Caitlin Jane in crochet, making stuff is goodWell, I’ve been a busy bee, it’s true. And much busier and productive than I can post about. Here’s what’s poo, when you make something for someone as a gift and it’s finished and you’ve taken pictures but you can’t post them because they haven’t received them yet. Ali, I’m talking to you. And Libs. […]

On aging.
By Caitlin Jane in clothes, crochet, making stuff is goodI noticed the other day that if I lean my arm on my bent leg it squeezes the veins and makes my hand look scary/old. I was trying to pretend that it’s from lifting weights but even my imagination is limited. Pretty, eh? Pretty SCARY. I am almost 40. And no, if you wondered, that’s […]

Further unsolicited advice that will probably be removed shortly.
By Caitlin Jane in loveI was in the shower (with my new radio!) thinking about that last post, thinking about the friendship that ended and thinking about why it ended and when it ended. It’s 2 years and it’s time for me to come clean: It ended at the same time I was going through a miscarriage. Even typing […]

I grow weary of this world
By Caitlin Jane in crochet, daily grind, GripingWhat a productive week I’ve had. I got my arm finished-that only took 1 year of procrastination-dealt with internet thievery and finished my new quilt top. Ooh, and I got a shower radio for $5. Here’s the top, in situ: It’s not finished, not even close. I need to make the back (which will be […]

Peanuts, ducks and rock and roll
By Caitlin Jane in Art!, hahaSo after months of bugging Shannon, I have finally gained control of thispeanutlookslikeaduck. I feel somewhat bad, it hadn’t been updated since October of 2009, haha, so there is considerable catching up to do. Not to mention the foolish assertion that we’d mail out stickers, gosh, forget about it. It triples the work and considering […]

Watch out where the huskies go!
By Caitlin Jane in crochet, making stuff is good, seriously?And don’t you eat that yellow icicle. Seriously, don’t eat it. I wouldn’t even walk too close to it, there’s a good chance it will fall onto you and kill you to death. And no one would ever know how you died because the ice would melt and the evidence would disappear. Holy big, right? […]

A sore back can only mean one thing…
By Caitlin Jane in crochet, making stuff is good, we have funI’m done cutting my blocks! Woo! It took 2 days and 2 rotary cutter blades and lots of swear words but I did it. I’m doing a basic 9 patch because, frankly, I like it’s simplicity. It’s classic and it looks great, especially with nice fabrics that deserve showcasing. Each block will have 2 6.5″ […]

I made something today
By Caitlin Jane in crochet, Griping, making stuff is goodIt will be the centre block of my future quilt. The pattern is by Anna Maria Horner (that’s a pdf file, fyi). It was hard, I mean, each square was so twonky, such a stupid shape, I had to trim trim trim to make them even vaguely square, then I zigged the heart on top, […]
