The #1 ribbon was awarded to me for putting my shoes on fastest. On top are a love note from Shannon and photo booth pictures of Ari and her bff Tyler. Strapped to the side is a photo of Shannon with another note stuck to it.

Embroidery
By Caitlin Jane in Art!, making stuff is goodHere are some samples of embroidery I did some time around 2002, I think, but maybe earlier. I was going to make an entire Simpsons themed quilt, but using the lesser known characters that carry the episodes. The only three I made (and one isn’t finished) are Sherri and Terri, Wendell and Uter. I had […]

Not the last unicorn I hope!
By Caitlin Jane in Art!We suffered through a couple viewings of terrible unicorn videos on youtube on the weekend, complete with sad songs. So awful. Good thing they generated some great art: I especially love the baby unicorn Ari drew, it’s SO cute. It’s eyebrow was specifically drawn to represent happiness. I also love Shannon’s mommy unicorn’s mouth/tongue. And […]

Lately
By Caitlin Jane in Art!, crochet, loveI’ve been feeling super crappy for the past couple days and I don’t know why. All I want is to be at home with the people I love. Even retail therapy hasn’t been helping. Home is not only where my heart is, it’s where my yarn stash is. I’ve made 2 more toys in the […]

Soup’s on
By Caitlin Jane in Art!, babies, foodWell, soup’s in. It’s all gone already. We don’t have a microwave here and my work is not leftover friendly, so we try to eat as much of whatever’s been cooked right away. Including cookies. It’s almost competitive. Today, after a walk to Chapter’s for kid dictionaries (Ari had a stellar review at the parent-teacher […]

Done?
By Caitlin Jane in Art!Well, not really. It’s easier on my brain if I do a little work on them and let them rest over night, so for now, they are done. The problem is that if I let myself fiddle, they start looking crazy, so I stop myself. Notice any changes?

Dracula
By Caitlin Jane in Art!So I totally re worked the vampire doll and he’s coming along nicely. The picture made me realize that he needs hands AND the non-raised eyebrow needs to be lower. And I think I might make those buttons gold. Other than that, he’s pretty much done. You know what I wish? Well, I wish a […]

Nesting II
By Caitlin Jane in Art!I swore I wouldn’t work on them tonight but taking that picture made me get the itch, so I fiddled a little, as you can see: It might be hard to understand, but Frankenstein’s monster is wearing a hospital gown and little else. I made the ghost look like Jason in the first Halloween movie, […]

Nesting
By Caitlin Jane in Art!I have been sitting on these nesting doll blanks for so long now…Periodically I would think, oh, this would be good or that would work or something (up to last night when I suggested a girl, then her muscles, then bones, guts and finally, the smallest doll, a poo and I still stand by that […]

Passive aggressive in training
By Caitlin Jane in Art!, food, hahaApparently this sign was made after a scolding from daddy. Well, I take what I can get. Also, neener nonner! Also, I think I made the best soup of my entire life. I don’t want to forget how I did it, so here goes: Because Therasa Has A Cold Soup 1. Slice 2 leeks length […]
