Lately 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 […]

Paging Dr. Lion!
By Caitlin Jane in caitlin's crap, toysI wish I knew what set of toys this fellow came with. I remember flat, plastic, checkerboard floors (grey?) that walls (green?) slid into and I remember Nurse Nelly. I think it’s safe to assume that there was assorted hospital furnishings too.

By Caitlin Jane in crochet, we have funMy new neighbour (and old room mate!) Kerrick is an avid knitter (and way WAY more of an expert at it than I!) and loaned me her ball winder so I could do some stash tidying… 40 balls later… Pretty, huh?

Stained glass quilt
By Caitlin Jane in daily grind, making stuff is goodI hung my first quilt-the sampler-in my bedroom to block out early morning sunlight. It streams in and lands right on my sleeping face.

It’s probably the most influential house of my entire life, more so than any house I ever lived in. This is the house I think of when I smell pancakes frying, use a white board, look at […]

Poor fishie
By Caitlin Jane in Griping, kittyThe pet store near work…sucks. In the sense that ALL pet stores suck, they sell kitties that you could get free from a neighbour (or adopt at a shelter), puppies bred at puppy mills and lizards from who knows where. Not to mention exotic birds that have no business being in Canada (or a cage) […]

Baking
By Caitlin Jane in UncategorizedI know it’s still a little early for this type of baking (considering Ontario peaches are just on their way out!) but this recipe sounded so good that I couldn’t resist.
