But mostly sewing. I mean only sewing. What I am willing to reveal: Mug rug (it’s cutesy-poo, I know, but nicer than the coffee stains that were beginning to get a little out of control on the armrest beside me): So it’s quilted by hand, did that during the Oscars. Yes, I love Heather Ross. […]

Picture free update.
By Caitlin Jane in Art!, books and reading, crochet, daily grind, dollhouse, food, making stuff is goodSo it looks like it’s been 2 weeks since my last update, sorry. Where does the time go? Frankly, I don’t know. I mean, I have made 4 quilt tops (and finished one completely including binding), sewn 90 triangle flags for a bunting (they are 6″ across, 9″ long and not quite finished yet) had […]

Peanuts, ducks and rock and roll
By Caitlin Jane in Art!, hahaSo after months of bugging Shannon, I have finally gained control of thispeanutlookslikeaduck. I feel somewhat bad, it hadn’t been updated since October of 2009, haha, so there is considerable catching up to do. Not to mention the foolish assertion that we’d mail out stickers, gosh, forget about it. It triples the work and considering […]

Practice makes perfect
By Caitlin Jane in Art!, crochet, making stuff is goodI don’t have basting pins (or I don’t until tomorrow when I head to DFO) so I’ve finished sewing the backs of both parental quilts, but haven’t started the quilting process yet. It will happen, I’m feeling motivated. Until then, I’ve been drooling over amazing quilts on flickr to try to figure out how to […]

The next delicious thing
By Caitlin Jane in Art!, crochet, making stuff is goodWhen I am done-completely done including binding-both of my parent’s quilts, I’m going to move on and start one for Shannon and I. It hadn’t really occurred to me to make one for us until he said something a couple weeks ago. So the fabric collecting started, but I didn’t really know where I was […]

Seasonal secrets revealed
By Caitlin Jane in Art!, books and reading, crochet, loveI started working on these quilts in the summer but couldn’t post anything about them until now. I know my dad doesn’t read my blog (he’s only really recently aware of computers at all) but my mom does (hi mumma!) so I had to keep it all on the dl. Until now. The first one […]

Dia de los muertos
By Caitlin Jane in Art!, we have funOn Shannon’s request. Darn iphone, I’m hopeless at self portraiture with a regular camera, iphones make it nearly impossible. The makeup looked way better in my mind and a little better before I tried to use one of last year’s contact lenses. That was a mistake, my eye still hurts. Thanks to Gillian too, for […]

Zig to the zag
By Caitlin Jane in Art!, making stuff is goodThis took way less time and agony than usual. I don’t know if it’s because (most of) the fabrics I used were decent quality and all the same weight or if it was because I figured it out all on my own. I won’t go so far as to say I designed it, haha, that […]
