This is mostly for Ashley who thought snakeskin leggings would be hilarious. She’s absolutely correct, of course, they really are quite amusing. They’re also very comfy, walking in them is indescribably awesome. It was funny, I tweeted about them the other day and almost immediately got an @ message from the manufacturer telling me that […]

Stained glass quilt
By Caitlin Jane in daily grind, making stuff is goodI hung my first quilt-the sampler-in my bedroom to block out early morning sunlight. It streams in and lands right on my sleeping face. The way it hits the quilt is so pretty. I used a vintage floral sheet for the backing of this quilt. There are a couple projects I am currently working on, […]

Live free or die, indeed
By Caitlin Jane in daily grindThere’s been a lot of excitement in the city I live in, Toronto, over the weekend. I’d largely ignored most of the G20 hype until Saturday night when friends started posting comments on facebook, angry with the destruction of businesses and police cars. By Sunday a lot of that anger was redirected towards the police […]

Good customer service
By Caitlin Jane in daily grind, GripingI bought a new coffee pot and mug a couple weeks ago at Starbucks. The coffee pot is a Bodum-my old one was falling apart and Starbucks has ‘green’ versions. Literally, green. The mug too, it was recycled glass and looked great. Until yesterday, that is, when I poured in water to make tea and […]

Caitlin with a C
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, daily grind, friends, haha, we have funI was watching Liza Minnelli’s live show, Liza with a Z, filmed in 1972-the year I was born. It was directed by Bob Fosse who was a genius when it comes to movement. Of course, I was loving it very much, it’s the music of my youth and it was Liza…I mean, LIZA! I was […]

‘Nother cool thing
By Caitlin Jane in daily grindRemember I wrote about the Google ‘next’ button a while ago? And the ‘subscribe’ button? Amazon’s gone ahead and topped those. There’s an ‘add to wishlist’ button for your browser now. It automatically adds whatever piece of amazingness to your wishlist so it’s one stop shopping. Love it.

Welcome to my world.
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, daily grind, kitty, loveTurdy is still in the pond. While I haven’t seen him with my own eyes, by all accounts, he’s there. I’ve spent the last couple weeks loading up my tumblr account. I got a page the second I heard of it so I have a great url, but until I am 100% comfy with it, […]

Playing catch up
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, daily grind, haha, we have funIt seems, in hot weather, I let a lot of things slide. Don’t worry, Treyci and Jana, I haven’t forgotten about you or your acorns. Largely, they’re done, I just need more caps-which seems to be a problem right now. There are lots of things I’ve been meaning to blog about and now’s as good […]

Shhhhh
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, daily grindThe fish continue to entertain me. I know this will sound terrible, but I think I love them more than I love Rose. Well, maybe not, but once they start letting me pat them, that will be true. I love how weirdly unpredictable they are: after the little red fish died, they didn’t eat at […]

Thursday, May 14th
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, daily grindA day in my life. I don’t normally work on Thursdays so I get to do whatever pleases me. Today I signed up with Daring Kitchen, but I won’t get the next recipe until June so I am not under any real pressure with that. However, I am considering making the gnocchi recipe from May […]
