I was in the shower (with my new radio!) thinking about that last post, thinking about the friendship that ended and thinking about why it ended and when it ended. It’s 2 years and it’s time for me to come clean: It ended at the same time I was going through a miscarriage. Even typing […]

I’m not good at this stuff
By Caitlin Jane in loveSo I will quote the amazing Neil Gaiman: “May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you’re wonderful, and don’t forget to make some art — write or draw or build or sing or live as only you […]

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 […]

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 […]

Veronica’s house
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, friends, love, we have funI spent about every other weekend at this house from the age of 4 through to about 14. It’s probably the most influential house of my entire life, more so than any house I ever lived in. This is the house I think of when I smell pancakes frying, use a white board, look at […]

What we done did do
By Caitlin Jane in love, we have funWent swimming, we sure did. Some of us, at least. The water was crystal clear and cold as fuck, just like I like it. Little Bluff is my very favourite fresh water place to swim, I guess. Don’t look too closely at my love handles, I promise I am working at making them smaller. Then […]

May 11, 2010
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, loveTurning 38 is much worse than turning 37. It’s been a hell of a year, lemme tell you. I’d write the details, but it’s my birthday and I want to stay in a good mood. This year I got the biggest gifts-a Mustang and a refrigerator. Yep. And flowers, the prettiest bouquet I have ever […]

Proof.
By Caitlin Jane in friends, love, Old crapI’ve always been this cool. And here’s how you can tell: I went to see The Who in 1989 when I was 17. It was at the CNE when the Grandstand was still open, that’s where the Blue Jays played before the Skydome opened. It was an amazing place for concerts, it’s also where I […]

It’s not yet, but almost
By Caitlin Jane in clothes, friends, loveEven though I have another week until I turn 38 (THIRTY-FUCKING-EIGHT-ZOMG!!!?!1) I’ve gotten lots of birthday love so far. Not just the most incredible (and apparently jealous making in some) car in the world, but a stunning necklace from Ashley. And some beautiful lamp work beads that I need to figure out what to do […]

Happy (early) birthday to me
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, love, we have funI was not expecting this, especially considering I don’t even drive. At all. Not even G1. Very exciting, indeed. It’s 1973 Mustang and it’s pretty much huge. My first whip. Thanks and love to Shannon, who else?
