Here’s what to do:
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, food, making stuff is goodWhen you have the time/space. Since last Monday when I was at the Sorauren Farmer’s Market (which, if you are in the area, you really should go to, it’s small but everyone there is nice and has beautiful local/organic produce) and met some nice ladies from Parkdale’s Westend Food Co-op who made me think about […]

What we done did do
By Caitlin Jane in love, we have funWent swimming, we sure did. Some of us, at least. The water was crystal clear and cold as fuck, just like I like it. Little Bluff is my very favourite fresh water place to swim, I guess. Don’t look too closely at my love handles, I promise I am working at making them smaller. Then […]

Perspective
By Caitlin Jane in toysMy mother asked about the size of the bricks used in the Japan style Lego project in my previous post, so I took a couple pictures to show just how small they are. I dug through Ari’s regular Lego collection and tried to find matching bricks. As you can see, they dwarf the Nanoblocks: And […]

A group effort
By Caitlin Jane in Art!, toys, we have funAri was sent a giant package from Japan including this micro lego set. It’s a little beyond Ari’s abilities (or rather, her patience and willingness to build something so detailed) so after her and Shannon completed the first 4 levels, I took it over and snapped a picture at the end of each level. It […]

Phone camera. Anyway, it reads: WHAT IN NOT A TYPICAL SYMPTOM OF A BROKEN BONE? […]

Viva la V.V.!
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, Art!, GripingI know, it’s been a long time since I blogged about the greatest store on earth, Value Village. To be honest, not much has changed there and I rarely go any more. I trickled over today to look for plaques, like, award plaques for a project I’m working on and to do some donating. The […]

Live free or die, indeed
By Caitlin Jane in daily grindThere’s been a lot of excitement in the city I live in, Toronto, over the weekend. I’d largely ignored most of the G20 hype until Saturday night when friends started posting comments on facebook, angry with the destruction of businesses and police cars. By Sunday a lot of that anger was redirected towards the police […]

Done!
By Caitlin Jane in babies, clothes, crochet, making stuff is goodI decided to go with no sleeves-after knitting half of one-because it’s a hot summer already and this sweater will only fit for about 5 more minutes. I just need to weave in about 800 ends and it will be ready for wrapping paper. Next baby gets this sweater. Or this dress. And obviously it […]
