i am the one who knocks (embroidery no. 15)

Well, guys. Today’s the day. The series finale of Breaking Bad. Today we’ll say goodbye–and good riddance–to The One Who Knocks. (See an embroidered version of him here.) I have never enjoyed a TV show more than Breaking Bad, but my emotions can’t take any more of this. These last few episodes have been nonstopContinue reading “i am the one who knocks (embroidery no. 15)”

superhero sweatshirt

It’s no secret that comic books are my new favorite thing. But I fell in love with some comic-book-inspired Philip Lim sweaters last year, before I read my first one. They are cheeky and cool–and just fun, right? Unfortunately the real deal was over my budget. Philip Lim did come out with a Target collaborationContinue reading “superhero sweatshirt”

project life: wedding

Since I can’t stop talking about the wedding even a week later, I was stoked to work on some project life pages over the weekend. I used mostly pictures from the actual day of the wedding. It was easy to create a color scheme that way since there was a lot of white and black.Continue reading “project life: wedding”

the sandman (vol. 1)

Graphic novels are my new favorite things. I guess it helps that I’m starting with some of the best–maybe it’s all downhill from here.

I had the best best best time this weekend. It was a beautiful wedding. The weather was perfect. The people were wonderful. I am so full of love and not quite ready to re-enter real life. But Monday morning came on time anyway. So for now, I’ll just look at everyone’s pictures over and overContinue reading “snapshots: wedding weekend”

what’s in my bag, traveling edition

I meant to take a picture of my traveling outfit but in the rush of actually traveling, I forgot. So here’s a picture of me surreptitiously taking a selfie at the airport. Here’s another. The rest of my outfit is jeans and leopard print flats. I am pretty stoked about my small personal item carryContinue reading “what’s in my bag, traveling edition”
