I 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 […]

I made this
By Caitlin Jane in Art!, crochetWhen I went to Montreal with my sister a couple summers ago, we went to see an art installation by Yoko Ono about her life with John Lennon. It was incredible and had me near tears several times; what an amazing person she is. John, of course, was so great on all levels. I’d picked […]

Finally!
By Caitlin Jane in Art!, crochet, love, making stuff is goodFunny, when you keep a secret for SO long and then the pressure comes down and everything seems to happen so quickly after grinding along for so long. I made my sister a quilt. I told a lot of people, friends and co-quilters (and I think I posted progress on twitter, which it turns out […]

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 […]

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 […]

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, […]

Yeah? SO?
By Caitlin Jane in Art!, haha, we have funIt’s a horse dancing with another horse. Under a disco ball. You wanna make something of it? I so very wish I had art that I made when I was a kid. Ari actually handed this over the second she saw me after school the other day, she knew how much I’d like it. And […]

Little things that count
By Caitlin Jane in Art!, making stuff is goodShannon cast a bunch of Ari’s Barbie faces the other day so I got to work painting the smallest one as a zombie. The eyes were drilled out and I sewed it onto my jacket and I think it looks totally adorbz. It’s scary AND cute. Just the way I like everything in my life. […]

New Obsession
By Caitlin Jane in Art!, seriously?I read a post on thehairpin about nails a couple weeks ago and was inspired. I’ve always liked nail polish (despite the normal, raggedy state of my fingernails) and already had a decent collection but decided to buy some of the skinny bottles and do some experimentation. Let’s just say that it wasn’t easy at […]
