I got a really great quilting book that most of you that are into this sort of thing have probably already read about elsewhere, Modern Log Cabin Quilting. Let me reiterate, it’s wonderful, full of seriously beautiful quilts, simple and perfect. My favourite one is purple and blue and it’s SO gorgeous that it makes […]

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.

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 […]

The more thorough Kindle review
By Caitlin Jane in books and readingI’ve had my Kindle for almost a week, and have read a complete book on it and I have to say I love this toy very much. Add it to the list of electronics I can’t live without (my DS, Sirius radio and laptops being the other ones). Here’s why it’s great: 1. Downloading books […]

Literary deliciousness
By Caitlin Jane in books and reading, foodA friend of mine-hi Jenn!-posted a picture on facebook the other day that made me to a little sleuthing. Her picture was of a hand written poster advertising soup peddling (with a drawing of a bike) in Toronto. Intrigued, I searched on google for soup delivery and found David Ansel’s website. He’s in Austin, TX, […]

An Update
By Caitlin Jane in books and readingNo surprise, 10 days later I am doing laundry again and the special movie is gone. I wonder who took it. I have a dream that they leave another note on it, something to the effect “GOT THIS FOR FREE AND IT STILL SUCKS!!!” That would be awesome. Instead, I picked up a book titled […]

The world according to me
By Caitlin Jane in books and readingI love reading. I love curling up with a book and losing myself for a few hours. If I don’t read before sleeping, I feel like I don’t sleep at all. There are a few books I read over and over again and they don’t get boring. One of them is The World According to […]
