Normally I try to do very little on the weekend. I prefer to lump around and MAYBE cook a meal. Well, today didn’t work out quite that way. First, we went to Dollarama and bought all kinds of treats. Ari and I made Shrinky Dinks. Remember them? They shrink? The set we shared was fruits […]

Nummy.
By Caitlin Jane in food, love, making stuff is goodI have had a sweet tooth for the last couple days. Or make that weeks. Must be the cold weather? Well, we’ve made all kinds of delicious treats around here, and most recently, I made brownies. Yes, from a package, but they were incredibly good. And, instead of the recommended walnuts, I added Skor bits. […]

Super secret project
By Caitlin Jane in clothes, making stuff is good, toys, we have funI got involved with a community project. I was sent a cheapo dollar store doll and I have to give her a makeover and send in a picture.

Art: Made for Me
By Caitlin Jane in Art!, making stuff is good, we have funI have been blessed, over the years, to be friends with artists who like me enough to make beautiful paintings for me.

Don’t Tell Mama
By Caitlin Jane in making stuff is goodNum. I inherited a giant zucchini (aka Big Man on Campus) this weekend and felt obligated to make something with it. Now giant veggies often do not taste very nice, so I figured on grating it up and making it into zucchini muffins, bread, cupcakes, something. As you can see, huge. And it’s well traveled […]

Come Fly With Us
By Caitlin Jane in love, making stuff is goodOne day I will publicly post the story of yesterday’s day trip. One day, when I feel like I will not be charged with a federal offense. Or two. This is a picture of the first toy I ever made. I wish I could remember her name! I designed it, and my mother sewed the […]

A is for Apple
By Caitlin Jane in making stuff is goodI made this very quickly. I tend to not do the finishing part very well and everything turns out crooked. Ah, I can live with that. It adds to the charm, I guess .

Dinner
By Caitlin Jane in making stuff is goodThe dinner blogging is usually a task I leave to someone else (mostly because he does the cooking and I do the eating, it would be like posting someone else’s art) but today, I am the mistress of the kitchen. My own kitchen! And I never cook at home, never, ever, ever. Here goes: 1. […]
