The heel problem

By in caitlin's crap, clothes

I have never worn these out despite the fact that they fit well, are reasonably comfortable and I can pretty much walk in them. I just don’t trust myself, wearing these means I’m out doing something, maybe celebrating and that often means a drink or two and that would be when I don’t think I […]

Let’s talk about nail polish

By in caitlin's crap, seriously?

Ok, so it might seem to some people that I have a slight, a teeny tiny almost unnoticeable obsession with nail polish. It’s not something I’m proud of and I thought that coming clean in a public way might help. To be totally honest, I don’t really know how this happened, one day I had […]

Beginnings

By in babies, love

I mentioned it on twitter the other day and I will say it here too: things are changing for me. In a (hopefully) good way. I’m growing, I guess. It’s too early to say anything publicly but I’m excited and happy and I feel like my future holds more than loneliness and misery. I went […]

Scores.

By in caitlin's crap, Griping, love

I have had a few great days shopping at Value Village. Yesterday I found 4 incredible dishes that set me back a whopping $4.48 with tax. I am not posting a picture (yet) as I haven’t decided where they will wind up. Suffice it to say that they will make someone, somewhere, very happy. I […]

Me. And Ari. And parrots.

By in Art!, love, we have fun

On our last family vacation to Mexico, Ari and I spent a day together at Xcaret. It is part water park and part zoo. Sort of. It is a fantastic place with tons of things to do and if you ever find yourself in the southern part of Quintana Roo, I highly recommend it. The […]

If anyone that reads my blog can remember what this little icon is from, you have known me a long time. Cute, eh?

Pretty much my proudest moment

By in friends, we have fun

It’s Jill, then me, then Colleen, and then Holly. And I WON a bowling game for the first time ever in my life. Not only that but I was playing with women that grew up bowling and that don’t suck at bowling at all. Not only that but it was the first time I ever […]

Kitty witty

By in kitty

I find it strange that I have never blogged this picture before, but I went through my archives and couldn’t find it. It’s silly old Rose. She sits on my yarn bins while I’m sewing and fills me in on all her news. You know, she drives us bananas with all her meowing but I […]

Stash building

By in crochet, making stuff is good

I got some delicious fabric in the mail today that I thought I’d share. Like most quilters, new and beautiful fabrics are very hard to resist for me. Pink Chalk was (and still is?) having a big sale and I picked up a couple pieces. Hmm, so the one at the bottom, it is navy […]

Happiest of new years

By in food, love

I wanted to wish my loyal friends and readers a safe, happy and most importantly healthy new year. This cake will be demolished after supper (roasted lemon chicken, roasted Brussels sprouts and cauliflower, boiled mini potatoes). With cake it’s the taste that counts, right? I embarrassed myself twice last night. Sometimes I wish I wasn’t […]
