…wantier than this sofa? I snapped this at Anthropologie. It’s seriously gorgeous, all raw silk (I think!) and bright and lovely. Delicious. …sillier than skinny jeans for newborns? In GOB Bluth’s voice: “Come on!” …more relaxing than a hammock in the city?

GPOYW
By Caitlin Jane in friends, loveNot actually taken today, but it’s a GPOM in any case. Taken on my way out the door to Jana‘s bridal shower/bachelorette. I never wear lipstick and Shannon said I looked really pretty so maybe I ought to wear it more often.

Sewerella
By Caitlin Jane in crochet, Griping, making stuff is goodFirst, the bad news. Or wait, first the good news! I went to my first Toronto Modern Quilt Guild meeting last Sunday and I had fun! It was so nice to meet other quilters of all different ages and backgrounds-all women though. I know male quilters exist, I’ve just never had the pleasure of meeting […]

Oh. Yum.
By Caitlin Jane in foodSpringtime is rhubarb season and I got a bunch today at the Saurauren farmers market and made it into a cobbler. I’d link but I don’t know how, but trust me on this one, it came out perfectly. I was worried it would be sour but it was not! Go! Make one! NOW!

Thus far
By Caitlin Jane in Art!, crochet, making stuff is goodThere are 5 complete blocks but only 4 fit in the picture. This is just to give you a better idea of where all that yellow is headed. So far so good. I’m one fifth done and worried I’ll run out of fabric. I suppose I’ll have a better idea after the next stack of […]

Ok, so this happened.
By Caitlin Jane in Griping, seriously?Somehow, while cutting fabric, I managed to slice off a really big chunk of my finger. Off my left hand, does anyone see a running theme here? At first I thought I might need a stitch but as I ran it under cold water I realized there was nothing to stitch, just a gaping hole […]

Quilt show
By Caitlin Jane in Art!, crochetI went to a quilt show this morning in St.Catharines. I think it was my first ever so I really didn’t know what to expect. There were lots of…quilts. Maybe I’m spoiled by hanging around the workroom and admiring fantastic quilts on etsy and flickr, but it seemed to me that a lot of what […]

Minthi
By Caitlin Jane in foodI spotted this herb at W the other day and was completely stumped. Minthi? Never heard of it. One might assume it is mint, but it’s so different in every way from any mint I’m familiar with: the leaves are small and soft like oregano and it smells great, very fragrant. It smelled Indian to […]

Dragons!
By Caitlin Jane in Art!, caitlin's crap, making stuff is goodI found another dinner size plate yesterday, not by Johnson Bros, but close, it is Stafforshire. It’s a dark brown transfer and the plate is in pristine condition. I also got these on a whim. Well, more as a knee jerk. I mean, for $1.99, how could I resist? Amazing! No, they aren’t Lacoste alligators, […]

The start of a new collection.
By Caitlin Jane in caitlin's crapJust what I need, right? More stuff? Well, hopefully this collection will turn into a pile of beautiful, usable, things, namely dishes. I just like china, it’s much nicer than eating of cheapo, crappo normal plates. I have 2 of the small saucer size plates and I also have one dinner plate that’s in pink […]
