What I’m up to

By in caitlin's crap, daily grind

The easiest way to track me online is via instagram and/or twitter. My user name on both is notoriouscjt. Briefly, I gave up the studio on May 31 and put everything in 9′x10′ storage. Everything? Hardly. I farmed out all the paintings, gave away tons of stuff, sold a few things, threw away everything else. […]

The fabric sitch.

By in Art!, caitlin's crap, making stuff is good

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about organizing a fabric swap. This has been rolling around in my brain for a while but has felt more urgent recently because I am moving and wouldn’t mind paring down Mount Fabric and because I started a project and want more assorted pink fabrics from other people’s stashes. […]

Moving sale!

By in Art!, caitlin's crap, Old crap, seriously?, work

We are moving soon to a much smaller place and need to do some serious downsizing. If you have ever had your eye on any of our stuff, now is the time to speak up. Included, but not limited to, items are paintings, books, games, a boat motor, wood carving machine, tools, a Mustang, more […]

England trip, part 1: treasures!

By in caitlin's crap, haha, hmmmm, seriously?

I got back from a 10 day trip to England on Monday and I am starting to feel like myself again. It wasn’t really 10 days, I was gone that long but with the time change and some serious jet lag in both directions, it was really more like 7 days. Anyway, I did lots […]

Leaving.

By in caitlin's crap, crochet, love, making stuff is good

In a few short hours I will be leaving for the airport. I’m headed for England, my first cousin is getting married next weekend and I’m so excited. I think it’s 7 years since I was there last. I’m really terrible with packing, my choices were a too small suitcase and a too big suitcase. […]

Birthday follow-up

By in caitlin's crap, crochet, making stuff is good

My birthday always seems to last longer than just the day of and this year was no exception. Shannon and I picked up my new sewing machine last week and I have fallen deeply, seriously, in love. It’s pretty much the best thing I own! As you can see, it’s another Janome but it’s an […]

Great manicure?

By in a good day, caitlin's crap

Or greatest manicure? This has everything I love about nail polish and I hope it lasts more than 24 hours. I’ll be avoiding dish-doing for the next 24 hours. The yellow is Maybelline Color Show in Fierce n Tangy (cheap stuff, got it at WM) and the glitter is Sally Hansen Diamond Strength Jewel Topcoat […]

Birthday roundup

By in caitlin's crap, friends, love

I know I promised to blog more often but it’s not every week one turns 40. Yes, 40. It’s slowly sinking in, the horror of it. Here is the face of 40. It’s ok, I had such an amazing week so full of love and support I can’t complain. It technically started on Tuesday when […]

The heel problem

By in caitlin's crap, clothes

I have never worn these out despite the fact that they fit well, are reasonably comfortable and I can pretty much walk in them. I just don’t trust myself, wearing these means I’m out doing something, maybe celebrating and that often means a drink or two and that would be when I don’t think I […]

Let’s talk about nail polish

By in caitlin's crap, seriously?

Ok, so it might seem to some people that I have a slight, a teeny tiny almost unnoticeable obsession with nail polish. It’s not something I’m proud of and I thought that coming clean in a public way might help. To be totally honest, I don’t really know how this happened, one day I had […]
