I joked on Twitter yesterday about seeing this pillow from Ikea all over all the design blogs I read. It seems like it pops up on every post and in every house. I like this pillow, sure, but I’d also like to see some new, fresh pillows! What is cool about seeing this pillow everywhereContinue reading “that pillow”

S. (embroidery no. 20)
Jen and Eric of S. have no problem writing in the margins–this is one of the only things I’m certain of after reading S., J.J. Abrams and Doug Dorst’s mysterious book. S. tells many stories, within the text, in the margins, and on the web. Jen, a senior undergrad, finds the book the Ship ofContinue reading “S. (embroidery no. 20)”
house wish list
(Destruction’s house, as I see it.) One of my favorite parts of The Sandman is how different each of the Endless are–from each other and my expectations. Death is charming and friendly; Destruction is jovial and caring. Dream is many things, but lighthearted is not one of them. And Delirium is too many things all atContinue reading “house wish list”
i’m moving!
I moved to New York almost five years ago. I stayed for the usual reasons: the beautiful city, my job, and my friends. (And where else would I have gone?) It has been nothing short of amazing–the city and the people in it are the best. But in March, I’ll be moving to Chicago. IContinue reading “i’m moving!”
project life: a new niece
My Project Life catch up is continuing in the cutest way possible. We were lucky enough to welcome a beautiful baby girl to our family in November. My niece Dylan Henly Nudson was born Nov. 27, and these pages are all for her. I particularly like how groups of photos and project life cards areContinue reading “project life: a new niece”
trying out sketching
I am into words. I am an editor, I love to read, and I believe you need to write clearly to convey your ideas even if you’re not a writer or an editor. But words aren’t the only way to share your story. As I’ve seen with The Sandman and all the other graphic novelsContinue reading “trying out sketching”
beyonce (embroidery nos. 18-19)
Going to the Beyonce concert this year with my friend Laura was one of the best things that ever happened to me–no lie. We love Bey (but who doesn’t?), and it was so fun to see her sing. So as a gift for Laura before she moved into her new apartment, I stitched some BeyonceContinue reading “beyonce (embroidery nos. 18-19)”
the sandman, vol. 8: world’s end
It’s been a few hours since I’ve finished World’s End. It’s been a few hours since I settled in to listen to the stories of my fellow travelers. It’s been a few hours since strangers became less strange by sharing a part of themselves–by taking a few hours themselves to share a story. It’s beenContinue reading “the sandman, vol. 8: world’s end”
2014 book releases
My real life book shelf. There is so much to read. There are wonderful new articles on the internet every day that stretch my mind and teach me new ways to think about things. There is a never-ending supply of celebrity outfits to critique with the Fug Girls. There are already too many fantastic classicContinue reading “2014 book releases”
