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. […]

Moving on
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, daily grind, loveShannon and I moved on December 1. We actually traded spaces with a cooperative circus school, we went from about 3,500 square feet to about 1,000 square feet and the transition has been difficult and cathartic. We got rid of mountains of stuff, not only ours but furniture from the woman who had our old […]

Skating
By Caitlin Jane in daily grind, GripingAnyone I’m friends with in real life or that follows me on twitter knows that I hate summer. I hate the sun blaring down on me, I hate sweating when I’m not doing anything, I hate overly air conditioned buildings. In winter I can always add a sweater or another pair of socks. In summer […]

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?

How the mighty have fallen!
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, daily grindI sure wish I had been there when it crashed to the ground. I mean, not under it, HA HA! but near by. Yes, I know what you’re thinking: Caitlin must live in one classy building if people can afford to throw away such beautiful couches. Well, it’s true, I do live in a class […]

I grow weary of this world
By Caitlin Jane in crochet, daily grind, GripingWhat a productive week I’ve had. I got my arm finished-that only took 1 year of procrastination-dealt with internet thievery and finished my new quilt top. Ooh, and I got a shower radio for $5. Here’s the top, in situ: It’s not finished, not even close. I need to make the back (which will be […]

Trying to stay upbeat
By Caitlin Jane in daily grind, love, seriously?This morning was hard, saying goodbye to Shannon. It’s very quiet here without him or Ari crashing around, but it means I can do some serious cleaning and listen to the radio as loud as I want to. I won’t make this any longer than necessary: there’s no cream here for coffee and I have […]

Burnt Out
By Caitlin Jane in daily grindYesterday morning I spilled my freshly made coffee on my hand. I use a filter thing that sits on top of my mug and I’d just filled it with boiling water from the kettle when it tipped over, landing on my left hand. Luckily I was standing right beside the kitchen sink and our water […]
