We drove all the way around Toronto today on 2 separate missions. Number one was getting medicine for sick fish. Donna’s got some form of fungal infection and my first plan is to put salt in her water. It took a while to figure out what size pond it is, I didn’t want to over […]

Hey, ladies, it’s shower time!
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, friends, loveWent to my homegirl’s bridal shower today. It’s only the second one I’ve been to in my entire life so I never know what to expect-much less what to bring. This one was an easy one, no games or ribbon bonnet-WOO WOO-and finger sandwiches, fruit skewers and cupcakes. Wine spritzers. I love drinking-everyone knows that-and […]
Felicitations!
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, love, toys, we have funToday was Ari’s 6th birthday. I think it was probably her most eagerly anticipated birthday yet, and has been talked about for almost a year. The day went very well, Ari helped me bake and decorate her own cake this morning: Served on my grandmother’s wedding china, yes. I am no cake decorator, that’s for […]
When I stay busy I forget…something…what were we talking about?
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, daily grind, dollhouse, love, making stuff is goodGillian had posted an Etsy link in a comments thing about dollhouse miniature food and it’s so cute, I love it.

Typing was the hardest adjustment-I worried for a while that my s and w keys would be broken, but they’re fine. It’s been well received by everyone-literally everyone-who sees it in real life (and not […]
Impending Hallmark holiday
By Caitlin Jane in loveIt’s almost Valentine’s Day and I haven’t got any plans. I haven’t bought any candy (well, ok, I have bought lots of candy but nothing for my beloved) or cards or flowers. I haven’t made dinner reservations. We are child-free this weekend and you’d think we would have planned something, but no. At least, not […]
Proof I might be crochet crazy:
By Caitlin Jane in Art!, loveThe #1 ribbon was awarded to me for putting my shoes on fastest. On top are a love note from Shannon and photo booth pictures of Ari and her bff Tyler. Strapped to the side is a photo of Shannon with another note stuck to it.
Lately
By Caitlin Jane in Art!, crochet, loveI’ve been feeling super crappy for the past couple days and I don’t know why. All I want is to be at home with the people I love. Even retail therapy hasn’t been helping. Home is not only where my heart is, it’s where my yarn stash is. I’ve made 2 more toys in the […]
A-Musing
By Caitlin Jane in loveWhen I was a little kid nothing got me more excited than getting something in the mail. Usually it meant that Christmas was coming (my English relatives would send stuff so early it was torturous) or my birthday. But it always meant that someone, somewhere was thinking about me and went to some effort to […]
