Gillian had posted an Etsy link in a comments thing about dollhouse miniature food and it’s so cute, I love it. Not that I have $35 for a teeny tiny cutting board with sandwich fixings on it-I wish. Anyway, I thought I’d post the miniature things I’ve been working on. Um. I made warm hats […]

South Park
By Caitlin Jane in hahaI love South Park, I really do. And while I am not a regular viewer, I do occasionally try to catch up by watching episodes online. Tonight I watched a recent episode called “Eat, Pray, Queef”. It’s about women’s rights in an extremely abstract way, and I found it totally hilarious. Basically, this is the […]

Visitors
By Caitlin Jane in a good dayI’ve noticed pigeons landing on other people’s balconies lots of times but never here until today. There were 2 but I wasn’t fast enough to catch them both. I wonder what they were up to. Taken through the screen door and the sliding glass door. My right hand and arm are sore from painting Ari’s […]

Cozy and worm
By Caitlin Jane in dollhouse, making stuff is goodBecause I don’t really want to start major renovations on my dollhouse before we move to the big space, I’ve been making little things just to feel like I am making progress. I had a few balls of self-striping sock yarn laying around and I’ve started making them into afghans for the dollhouse. It’s hard […]

Minutiae
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, daily grindEvery day on my way out of our building I look at this pile of sticks and laugh. Funny huh? Maybe not, but I picture dog owners saying “Ok Fido, gimme your stick and we’ll come and get it later” and the dog reluctantly handing it over. Although my dog theory could be wrong, yesterday […]

Literary deliciousness
By Caitlin Jane in books and reading, foodA friend of mine-hi Jenn!-posted a picture on facebook the other day that made me to a little sleuthing. Her picture was of a hand written poster advertising soup peddling (with a drawing of a bike) in Toronto. Intrigued, I searched on google for soup delivery and found David Ansel’s website. He’s in Austin, TX, […]

Yarn! In the mail!
By Caitlin Jane in friends, making stuff is goodDoes life get any better than getting yarn in the mail? For me, not really-especially after yesterday, the world’s shittiest day. Jana sent it to me, now I have to figure out what to do with it. So gorgeous. Crochet season is actually winding up for me (especially now that I have a new obsession) […]

Progress, sort of
By Caitlin Jane in dollhouseI made some design decisions last night after perusing one of my favourite blogs*. One of the cheaper listings was so cute and so perfect, I will be decorating my dollhouse in a similar fashion. I like the simplicity of it all-it makes it so tidy and clean looking. I started working it out on […]

God pwns!
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, haha, we have funWe saw this sign today on our way to the dollhouse store*: Presumably it’s in response to these new bus ads (which I have not seen in real life, sadly). I’d think that using stronger words would be more powerful. Probably? Why not get to the point and say “THERE IS NO GOD.” Or, for […]

Family day
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, we have funWe went to High Park and it’s clear that spring has sprung. I love all birds. This fellow was very busy trying to drum up lunch. Then we found a fort. We also spent time in the zoo: She was very proud of her beautiful feathers and wattle. He wasn’t being manly, he was trying […]
