this week in pictures
No embroidery this week because I’ve had company and a pretty bananas week all around. I went to Brooklyn Flea over the weekend. This is the view of Manhattan from the Williamsburg waterfront, where they host the flea market. While I was there I bought this adorable towel now hanging in my kitchen. Look atContinue reading “this week in pictures”
black on black
I wear all black a lot. Maybe it’s a New York Thing or maybe it’s a Rae Thing–at this point I’m not sure I know the difference. But I do know that I felt cute in this outfit. It’s a little hard to see, but there’s super cute pleats on my top, which added aContinue reading “black on black”
game of thrones outfit inspiration: daenerys
If you don’t think Daenerys won Game of Thrones last night, you weren’t watching the same show I was. Her strength, beauty and general badass-ness totally came through last night when she showed some slavers what was what. Dany is a gorgeous woman, and she can dress for every occasion. We’ve seen her in lovelyContinue reading “game of thrones outfit inspiration: daenerys”
everyone was going (embroidery no. 8)
This week’s quote is from Cannery Row by John Steinbeck. I loved the characters in that book, and I love love love the parties they throw. The whole town shows up and to a raging party–but was anyone actually invited? It doesn’t matter. It’s the talk of the town, and everyone is going. See more ofContinue reading “everyone was going (embroidery no. 8)”
home improvements
My mom is in town, and it’s been so great! She has graciously been helping around the house and that’s meant lots of cleaning and errand running, and also lots of huge improvements to every day life. I’ll post more of the whole apartment later, but check out the before and after of this notContinue reading “home improvements”
game of thrones outfit inspiration: jaime
Well Jaime definitely didn’t this week’s episode of Game of Thrones. In fact, he lost quite a bit. But he lost the episode in such a spectacularly gruesome fashion that his moments stuck out to me the most. Jaime spends most of his time in his white cloak and armor (or in mud when he’sContinue reading “game of thrones outfit inspiration: jaime”
this weekend
No new embroidery this week, but I did update the display! My mom is in town visiting and the week was full of errand running and getting ready, and now that she’s here it’s full of fun. We are working on my apartment in between running around the city. I got some fabric to makeContinue reading “this weekend”
in cold blood
Our book club book this month was In Cold Blood by Truman Capote. Have you read it? It’s a really amazing, in-depth account of a horrible murder of a family in Western Kansas in 1959. I’m an editor, and I actually interned at the Kansas City Star, which comes up often in this book. IContinue reading “in cold blood”
game of thrones outfit inspiration: arya
Arya, also known as The Coolest Person You Wish You Were, is back and wins this week’s episode of Game of Thrones. We find her on the run after she escapes from almost certain death by bargaining with a man who will kill whoever she wants. I love Arya’s spunk. While sitting down to dinnerContinue reading “game of thrones outfit inspiration: arya”
