Blood and spray paint

By in Art!, fucking weird man, love

Sometimes I think people must think I’m weird for taking pictures of the things I do. It’s true, I am strange, I guess. It’s the only explanation for these pictures. This is the sidewalk outside my local titty bar.  I noticed the blood a couple days ago and yesterday it had all been circled in […]

Sewing 101

By in crochet, love, making stuff is good

Ari had already done some stitching in her Casa school, but this was her first time doing actual hand sewing (at least with me). Her webkin kitty had burst her belly seam and required immediate attention: Oh, that’s pretty. Even my mom and dad pointed out my grey hair last time I saw them-although, I’ve […]

Happy family

By in kitty, love

I love that I got all three of the girls in one picture. They were all chilling out together last night and the camera flash didn’t seem to bother them at all. Unlike the red laser pointer that makes them all go crazy. Sorry about that. I told the women at my (last) quilting class […]

And on the table. These arrived this morning from my valentine. Nothing like cut flowers!

The 10 things thing

By in Blogroll, caitlin's crap, Griping, hmmmm, love

Since I was tagged twice to do this, I figured I’d better get the ball rolling. Mostly I feel like my life is an open book so there won’t be much new stuff in here or any real surprises to anyone, but I’ll try. (And the description of the process, from Ashley’s blog to help […]

The whole fambly

By in love, Old crap

This is what we looked like…a long time ago. My mom’s had short hair for so long that I can barely remember this look at all. I do remember wondering who she was for a while when she did cut it off. And I still have that kilt, I could go poke it right now […]

I am a quilting b

By in crochet, love, making stuff is good

I started a night school course at The Workroom in Parkdale-the quilting sampler course. I’ve done plenty sewing in my life, but I will be first to admit it’s all been pretty slap-dash. Quilting is the polar opposite of slap-dash, you need to be very precise, measuring, cutting, pinning, all those things I’ve never been […]

Yay for pom poms

By in crochet, love, making stuff is good

I was going to write a long blog entry about the year that is just wrapping up, maybe answer a bunch of questions like Gillian does every year (now that is dedication!) but I found myself losing interest in answering them around #5. I just can’t lie on those things and telling the truth could […]

Cuba, farewell

By in crochet, food, love

Since the Cuban authorities had other ideas about our vacation (Shannon called it 20 minutes, but it was really closer to an hour total on the ground there), I’ve had to figure out other ways to amuse myself while off work for a few days-other than wound licking. I’ve done some more knitting-the shawl I […]

Play/Knit list

By in crochet, love, making stuff is good

I filled my MP3 player with old mixed cds I made 10 years ago and it’s been making me happy. For example today, on my way to and from work here is what I heard: 1. ‘Homeboy’ by Adorable 2. ‘Girl You Know it’s True’ by Milli Vanilli 3.  ‘Money Can’t Buy Me Happiness’ by […]
