Dude!

I saw this card last time I was at Magic Pony but I was so distracted by miniature sushi and Southpark zipper pulls I forgot to buy it. Lucky for me it was still in stock when I returned this afternoon. Can’t say that for the sushi.

Has anything sillier ever existed? I can’t take it out of the plastic wrapper until I have a frame for it so I won’t get damaged by spit takes. Seriously, it’s pretty much the funniest card ever.

Well. See, I said card, not picture. Nope. As of right now this is the funniest picture:

Haha!

Ho ho.

I took this picture the other day because I thought I looked pretty. Usually I feel tired and unkempt. Especially right now during my work vacation. With no reason to leave the house, why would I brush my hair or put on makeup? Dress?

I mean, besides the fact that we eat out every other night. Easy to do without a kid. Right now half the clothes in my laundry basket are pajamas or pajama related.

And the heat isn’t on here yet. Let me tell you, it is chilly. I slept with a hoodie on last night, hood up to keep the old ears warm. The fish aren’t fans either, they’ve been huddled at the bottom of the pond for 3 days.

Ok, ok, so I lied

I spent last weekend in Kinkardink visiting with my dear friends Ashley and Scott (and their hilarious and sweet children) and remembered that the John Lennon piece wasn’t the only cross stitch I’d ever made. Nope, there is this one too.

Silly.

I’m planning on blogging more, I’ve got a great post about my latest obsessions brewing. Honest.

I made this

Posted by Caitlin Jane – 05/09/2011

When I went to Montreal with my sister a couple summers ago, we went to see an art installation by Yoko Ono about her life with John Lennon. It was incredible and had me near tears several times; what an amazing person she is. John, of course, was so great on all levels.

I’d picked up cross stitching (and put it down again, probably permanently) and after a couple small pieces, made this. The word are from his song “God” and the image of John is an iotacon.

How different the world would be had he lived. I believe that with every fibre of my being.

I finally put together the top for my yellow log cabin quilt. Yes, I’m loving it. I’ll need to order fabric for the back and then I’ll need to decide if I will quilt it myself or not. It is pretty big, 2m square, so I’ll most likely go with long arm.

I like how it looks like stained glass.

I’m also back into knitting after taking a long break. Summer never feels that yarn-y to me but when an acquaintance moved to Costa Rica to have a baby and gave me all her yarn and needles, I was inspired.

Life is certainly changing for us around here. Much quieter without Ari who is living out her dream of being full time with her mom. Lucky little lady has goats, ducks and a swimming pool full of frogs, what more could a kid ask for? ATVs? Got them too. It’s weird not having her and I have done some fun cleaning to fill my time. And we get to eat salad for supper so that is different too. The tv is on more but cable has been cancelled so that won’t last.

Things that annoy me

That the apps I use most are all blue. I really wonder why this is, why app makers all seem to love blue so much.

Yes, yes. First world problem, I know.

Mutant!

At the CNE, we wondered where her arms were. I guess there are worse things than having full glasses of beer for appendages.

My gym locker is

But for real, I like this locker because it’s in the top row and it is easy to remember which one I used.

So. Um.

When this pops up on your screen, that’s a bad thing, right?

It’s still good! It’s still good!

I know, starting a new project when so many others are on hold is generally a bad idea, but I scored some amazing vintage pillow cases the other day and I’m just too excited. There are 8 different prints cut into 5.5″ squares to be sewn into a diagonal pattern in a 16 x 16 grid. Luckily I didn’t use all the pillow cases so there will be a few left over to put on the pillows. I’ll back it with one of my full size vintage sheets and I’m thinking I might tie quilt it rather than machine. We will see.

I’m so glad to finally have a purpose for all this amazing fabric!
