If you’ve read Saga (like you should!) you must love Lying Cat. She is sidekick to The Will and can tell when someone is lying. We all need some Lying Cat in our lives–but since I can’t get a hold of the original, I embroidered this. Here’s a closer look.

on the waterfront
This weekend it was so beautiful outside. Lucky for me, I got to hang out in the gorgeous weather in some equally beautiful settings. On Saturday I went to the waterfront in Williamsburg with some friends for Smorgasburg, a sort of food booth fair. It was delicious. And this is what I wore. Dress fromContinue reading “on the waterfront”
breaking bad (embroidery no. 13)
Today’s the day. The beginning of the end. I can’t remember the last time I was this excited about a TV show. It actually reminds me of when Harry Potter was coming out. The midnight parties, the internet message boards (remember those?), the guessing and wondering and talking in circles about how it would end.Continue reading “breaking bad (embroidery no. 13)”
the cuckoo’s calling parts 4 and 5
The Cuckoo’s Calling (kindle here) part 4 and 5 are combined because I accidentally finished it. I, well, wasn’t crazy about it. SPOILERS AHEAD. DEAD AHEAD. Well, we found out the murderer. And I’m kind of annoyed about it. Making the murderer the person who hired the detective feels like a cheat and a gimmick, notContinue reading “the cuckoo’s calling parts 4 and 5”
baby blanket
A few months ago we learned of the exciting announcement that my brother and his wife are expecting. And now I’ve promised my little baby niece a baby blanket. I am following the pattern for the chevron baby blanket from the Purl Bee, one of my favorite knitting/sewing blogs.
breaking bad and what i wore
Breaking Bad comes back this weekend. On Sunday, Aug. 11, we will begin the final episodes. I am so excited I can hardly stand it. I missed the boat on a lot of television until it was over. I love that I am watching this in real time and experiencing it with everyone else. PeopleContinue reading “breaking bad and what i wore”
saga-inspired interiors
I read Saga, vol. 1, for book club this month, and I just loved it. It’s so sharp and funny and beautifully drawn. My favorite character is Lying Cat, of course, but there are so many other great characters that it’s hard to choose: Izabel, a typical teenager who happens to be a ghost withContinue reading “saga-inspired interiors”
the cuckoo’s calling part 3
You know, it’s surprising we didn’t guess it was Rowling right away. She’s got a thing for crazy names. Hermione. Cormoran. In part 3 of The Cuckoo’s Calling (Kindle here), we meet the mysterious Rochelle, have a run in with Lula’s angry racist uncle, and Robin flexes her deception muscles. Strike is continuing his clueContinue reading “the cuckoo’s calling part 3”
