No pictures, sorry, he’s shy. But I rescued the World’s Smartest Turtle from certain death earlier today. Or yesterday, I guess, same thing. When I woke up and walked past the pond there was no water squizzling out of the squirter and I was all, DANG IT! because I’d just cleaned the filter and it […]

I made a robot
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, Art!, crochet, GripingThis is all I had the time to hot glue together on Saturday. Then I glued her to the wall under her friends Gluey and Glovey. Now she won’t be lonely. Anyway, other than that, it’s business as usual. I’m completely, utterly, addicted to knitting and it’s making me crazy. I sure wish I hadn’t […]

Put the lime in the coconut
By Caitlin Jane in foodOr maybe the other way around? I have been trying recently to expand my horizons by cooking food outside my comfort zone. This means baking-mostly-non out of the box deserts.

By Caitlin Jane in kittyI. Love. PIGEONS!!! Check out the attitude on the fellow in the back. This was a pack of junior pigeons that had silly feathers and didn’t really know what to do when a giant, zombie chasin’ truck was bearing down on them.

Yarn help
By Caitlin Jane in crochetThe pattern I mentioned below uses yarn (Robin Casino Crepe 4 ply) I’ve never heard of nor can I find online so I want to buy something that’s a similar weight but I don’t really know what 4-ply means. Is this worsted? Sport weight? Sock? When I look on Ravelry it seems that all I […]

Leaving like a queen.
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, Art!, crochetInspired by etsy, I have made a bunch of crochet rings and I love them. Much like the acorns, they don’t use up a lot of stash but they’re so fast and instantly satisfying that I love love love them. You will love them too. I’ve already given two away-to my mom-and have been wearing […]

ME RIDE BIKEY!
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, babies, we have funAri and I went on an overnight road trip to her Oma’s house to spend some final summer time with family. It was quite idyllic and Kathy’s homestead is wonderful. Ari’s cousins are always up for fun and Oma’s gotten her hands on a bunch of kid sized bikes for everyone, including Uncle Devon. I’m […]
