Long time no blog, sorry. My writing juices runneth low of late. I blame George R.R. Martin and his incredible books. Never in my life have I ever-I mean it, ever-read any fantasy books or period books. These are both and I’m somehow completely absorbed. I’m only 121 pages into the second book, A Clash […]

Scrapping
By Caitlin Jane in crochet, love, making stuff is goodI’ve started yet another quilting project: the Farmer’s Wife Sampler Quilt. It’s a pretty amazing book full of stories and 111 different 6 inch quilt blocks. Yes, 111. I’m not as ambitious as you may think and at the moment my goal is to make 80 of them which I plan to put together in […]

A study in low contrast
By Caitlin Jane in kittyDear Rose, please forgive me for ever saying that you are a useless grey rag. It’s just not true: you happen to be quite a useful grey rag and I am enormously proud of you. For the third time in your, what, 15? 16 is it now? years, you caught and killed a mouse. And […]

Shnoogy.
By Caitlin Jane in babiesAs it goes with friends that have babies, I basically move in one day a week to sniff and snuggle and to give mom 5 minutes to pee on her own. This little muffin is the latest Elliott on the scene and I like her very much. 10 days old today and it was my […]

Crosses
By Caitlin Jane in Art!, crochet, love, making stuff is goodBack from our romantic getaway for two, I’ve got the itch to get to work on projects that have been set aside.

Obsessions of mine
By Caitlin Jane in Art!, hmmmmLately, it seems, that I can’t have a day go by without listening to Lady Gaga. I know I’m a little old to be a fan and I’d never claim to be a little monster…out loud. Well. Ok, maybe I am one, what of it? She is GREAT. I wish there had been a musician […]

Dude!
By Caitlin Jane in Art!, fucking weird man, haha, hmmmmI saw this card last time I was at Magic Pony but I was so distracted by miniature sushi and Southpark zipper pulls I forgot to buy it. Lucky for me it was still in stock when I returned this afternoon. Can’t say that for the sushi. Has anything sillier ever existed? I can’t take […]

Ho ho.
By Caitlin Jane in a good dayI took this picture the other day because I thought I looked pretty. Usually I feel tired and unkempt. Especially right now during my work vacation.

Ok, ok, so I lied
By Caitlin Jane in Art!, crochet, friendsI spent last weekend in Kinkardink visiting with my dear friends Ashley and Scott (and their hilarious and sweet children) and remembered that the John Lennon piece wasn’t the only cross stitch I’d ever made. Nope, there is this one too. Silly. I’m planning on blogging more, I’ve got a great post about my latest […]
