Jana came upon an ad on Craigslist for free…stuff, I think it was a free bonanza really, and she kindly thought of me for the 4 giant boxes of fabric scraps. Lots of it was scary (polyester!) and unusable (biodegrading as you watch!) but some of it was super cute and vintage. There was a […]

Babies
By Caitlin Jane in babiesSeems everyone I know is pregnant these days. Or has just had a baby. Or is just wrapping up their baby-making business. Not me. I went for a long time wanting a baby, then a long time not wanting a baby, back to wanting one. Now it seems it’s too late for babies for me. […]

Newbie
By Caitlin Jane in UncategorizedSuch a teeny little muffin, I was instantly in love. Of course she didn’t cry and she didn’t poop. That makes for a good baby visit in my books. You can tell by the bulging vein on my forehead that I am completely chuffed. I can not WAIT to be on shower duty (as in, […]

R to the izzOM
By Caitlin Jane in we have funAri and I had a girl’s afternoon out on Saturday. We took the subway (which is still a treat to her) to ROM, using our family pass. It’s worth every penny, if you ask me, I can take 2 kids and it’s free. Ish. Did you know how much I love taxidermy? It’s true, I […]

Gr.
By Caitlin Jane in crochet, making stuff is goodSo, just to mess with everyone’s head a little more (and especially mine) I made little mini quilt squares this morning to fiddle around a little, easier than spreading the entire thing out on the floor (in reality, each square is 8.5″ each side).

Red shoes and fiaries
By Caitlin Jane in haha, seriously?, we have funHot day here. I was wearing jeans until I practically melted. We’re doing fireworks later, after the sun sets. There’s a mountain of them-I left the store so I wouldn’t hear the total bill-and I’m excited. At the firework store, which doubles as a costume store, I took this picture: It’s wrong on pretty much […]

Decisions, decisons
By Caitlin Jane in Art!, crochet, making stuff is goodThe original fabric I was going to use for the background of this quilt did not work out so well (it was a black light weight denim) so I had to do some quick improv. I wound up getting fabric at Ikea because…well, because it’s cheap there. I couldn’t make up my mind, like, when […]

Singa songa sixpence
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, Art!, crochet, making stuff is goodSewing, sewing, sewing. Ironing, cutting, bandaging blisters and more sewing. Yes, I have a blister on my pinkie finger. From scissors. I’m intense, it seems, with shears. Today I spent about 3 hours at the workroom organizing my previously sewn together bits which were then pressed open with spray starch and a dry iron. Sorted […]

All weekend
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, crochet, we have funOn Friday I went to see my first Jays’ game of the season. It was freezing cold up in the nose bleeds, wind gusting and T and I snuggled up. It was one heck of a game, Jays won 16-10, so that was exciting. And the young couple beside us who’d smuggled in their own […]

By Caitlin Jane in a good day, loveTurning 38 is much worse than turning 37. It’s been a hell of a year, lemme tell you. I’d write the details, but it’s my birthday and I want to stay in a good mood. This year I got the biggest gifts-a Mustang and a refrigerator. Yep. And flowers, the prettiest bouquet I have ever […]
