Just when you (and I) thought I had given up on quilting completely, I went ahead and finished one quilt, made another and started a third. Go figure. The first one was for Saira and Michael’s baby, Kiran. Yes, I’d made her a sweater too and given the quilt over at the baby shower, but […]

A group effort
By Caitlin Jane in Art!, toys, we have funAri was sent a giant package from Japan including this micro lego set. It’s a little beyond Ari’s abilities (or rather, her patience and willingness to build something so detailed) so after her and Shannon completed the first 4 levels, I took it over and snapped a picture at the end of each level. It […]

Viva la V.V.!
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, Art!, GripingI know, it’s been a long time since I blogged about the greatest store on earth, Value Village. To be honest, not much has changed there and I rarely go any more. I trickled over today to look for plaques, like, award plaques for a project I’m working on and to do some donating. The […]

Other new new (well, newer-ish) project
By Caitlin Jane in Art!, crochet, making stuff is goodJana came upon an ad on Craigslist for free…stuff, I think it was a free bonanza really, and she kindly thought of me for the 4 giant boxes of fabric scraps. Lots of it was scary (polyester!) and unusable (biodegrading as you watch!) but some of it was super cute and vintage. There was a […]

Decisions, decisons
By Caitlin Jane in Art!, crochet, making stuff is goodThe original fabric I was going to use for the background of this quilt did not work out so well (it was a black light weight denim) so I had to do some quick improv. I wound up getting fabric at Ikea because…well, because it’s cheap there. I couldn’t make up my mind, like, when […]

Singa songa sixpence
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, Art!, crochet, making stuff is goodSewing, sewing, sewing. Ironing, cutting, bandaging blisters and more sewing. Yes, I have a blister on my pinkie finger. From scissors. I’m intense, it seems, with shears. Today I spent about 3 hours at the workroom organizing my previously sewn together bits which were then pressed open with spray starch and a dry iron. Sorted […]

Fun for all
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, Art!, friends, we have funIt’s exciting when a new tattoo shop opens, especially when there is free beer involved. Oh, and sushi and vegan cupcakes-not that I ate any of those. Bill Baker has finally opened the doors to his new place, The Pearl Harbor Gift Shop and Tattoos. It’s a catchy name, I know. And they’ve done an […]

ZOMGIT’SSHIT!!?!11
By Caitlin Jane in Art!, fucking weird man, GripingOk, so the latest trend in my ‘hood is vomit: human vomit. It’s everywhere, huge puddles on the sidewalk. It’s the new dog shit, apparently. Lucky us. Nothing like slipping in a lake of partially digested lasagna! But this? This is cute. At least, as cute as a huge dump of shit can be. I […]

Jelly rolls have landed
By Caitlin Jane in Art!, crochet, making stuff is goodThey were mini rolls. And I think I can make these colours/patterns work, especially with what I already have: They’re for the double wedding ring quilt class I’m starting in May that I already mentioned. I met Jana today for lunch, that was nice. I need to get out and see other human beings every […]
