Because no one asked
By Caitlin Jane in Art!, crochet, making stuff is goodI picked up 3 fat quarters of the new Heather Ross fabric, Nursery Versery, at The Workroom yesterday. Heather Ross is possibly my very best fabric designer and every time I look at the back of my green quilt I wish I’d saved some of her Far Far Away 2 line. Then I remember that […]

Knitting season
By Caitlin Jane in Art!, crochet, making stuff is goodThe weather has cooled considerably and I’ve resumed knitting. It helps that purl has posted a few simple but classic patterns. I also resume knitting this time of year because there is suddenly an influx of tv things to watch. This is the second version of this hat I’ve knit this week. One may well […]

The fabric sitch.
By Caitlin Jane in Art!, caitlin's crap, making stuff is goodI’ve been thinking a lot lately about organizing a fabric swap. This has been rolling around in my brain for a while but has felt more urgent recently because I am moving and wouldn’t mind paring down Mount Fabric and because I started a project and want more assorted pink fabrics from other people’s stashes.

At least, not inexpensive, mass produced hats. Nothing cute, certainly. And like most clothes that don’t fit properly, a jammed down hat looks terrible, feels bad, and […]

Me. And Ari. And parrots.
By Caitlin Jane in Art!, love, we have funOn 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 […]

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. I find flickr to be a great source for inspiration and that is where I found this tutorial on a simple quilt pattern. My squares are bigger than the instructions but it seems […]

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 […]
