I had a super day: I went to ROM all by myself which is a great way to see everything I want to see without worrying if everyone else is having fun. It was so nice, the Vanity Fair show was wonderful, I love portrait photography. Plus it brought me up to the 4th floor […]

Cottage cheese
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, Art!, Griping, hahaI took this on my way home from Dufferin Mall today. I had to squat down to take my camera out of my backpack plus I had my headphones in and an apple clamped in my teeth so naturally this is the perfect time to be harassed by a security guard. Now I know everyone […]

Making boxes*
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, Art!Nuit Blanche started out as intensely irritating for me. Waiting for people to set up a sound system and then hunt for car keys is not my idea of fun. But once the trucks started rolling, it was GREAT. Did you know that there are ravers in the world still/again? They’re different now, they appear […]

I made a robot
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, Art!, crochet, GripingThis is all I had the time to hot glue together on Saturday. Then I glued her to the wall under her friends Gluey and Glovey. Now she won’t be lonely. Anyway, other than that, it’s business as usual. I’m completely, utterly, addicted to knitting and it’s making me crazy. I sure wish I hadn’t […]

Leaving like a queen.
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, Art!, crochetInspired by etsy, I have made a bunch of crochet rings and I love them. Much like the acorns, they don’t use up a lot of stash but they’re so fast and instantly satisfying that I love love love them. You will love them too. I’ve already given two away-to my mom-and have been wearing […]

It was a weird day in more than one way
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, Art!So, not taking anything away from dead squirrels, but the sky on my way out of the subway today was incredible. I don’t think I’ve ever seen clouds quite like this before.

Art
By Caitlin Jane in Art!It’s been a long time since Shannon and I have gone stenciling together and I miss it. And that feeling was compounded a couple weeks ago when these appeared around the corner from our place: They’re great. I went to the Sorauren Farmer’s Market today and only bought some mutant baby carrots. I’m waiting […]

Side project.
By Caitlin Jane in Art!, crochetI don’t really know what inspired this in-between-other-projects project, but my fingers have been on fire pumping it out. Each number will be attached indvidually, and I am planning on mounting on masonite, with a layer of cotton batting over, then fabric and finally the giant granny square. Yes, the hands-for now-are crochet hooks. Right […]

Montreal, the full report.
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, Art!, we have funI think if I had to pick a Canadian city to live in, I’d pick Montreal. It’s beautiful, cultured, the people are polite and friendly, the art galleries are free and there are tons of green parks. I didn’t have one bad meal there and you can buy beer and wine at the corner stores. […]

Old project
By Caitlin Jane in Art!, clothes, making stuff is goodShannon had been bugging me to start a new project (oh, just find a diy stuff website and pick something!) so I decided to get back to work on one that we’d started in June 2007 and put away indefinitely. The quilt. Remember? Me either, almost. Until we moved and all those bags (I think […]
