I am taking a drawing class. A fashion illustration class, if you want to be specific. I’m really enjoying it! I feel like drawing is a great way to communicate, especially when I’m thinking of clothes people could wear or rooms they could live in. I’m really excited to get some classes in and practice, practice, practice. WeContinue reading “fashion illustration class”

moma and what i wore
I had SUCH a fun weekend. It was full of date nights and museums and a marathon brunch (more on that later). My favorite museum is the Museum of Modern Art. It has a lot of paintings that I like–and how fun is the design exhibit? On Saturday we checked it out, and this isContinue reading “moma and what i wore”
embroidery display update
I have finally added my latest embroideries to my embroidery display! I am slowly but steadily filling the space above my bed. I love having them in my home–I love any handmade item in my home. I think it adds originality and personality, and I’m of course also proud that I made them myself. I’mContinue reading “embroidery display update”
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)”
embroidery display
No new embroidery this week–instead I got everything I have already done ready to put on the wall above my bed. A few weeks ago I was struggling with what to do above my bed, and I think this might be my new solution. To get the hoops ready, I first had to paint them.Continue reading “embroidery display”
screen printed cards
You know when you’re really frustrated or super excited and you just hit your keyboard in a rush of emotion? That’s what inspired this screen printed notecard. Also my love of punctuation and the way people swear in comics, of course. Since I took a low-tech screen printing class at the Brooklyn Brainery I’ve beenContinue reading “screen printed cards”
odd thomas talks to elvis; i screen print him
I’m reading Odd Thomas by Dean Koontz and loving it. Odd is a pretty normal guy–he works as a line cook, hangs out with his girlfriend, and can speak to the dead. Not that they talk back. But they do show him things, and he helps them when he can. Odd tries to use this giftContinue reading “odd thomas talks to elvis; i screen print him”
family art project
I went home for the holidays, along with my siblings, their significant others, and their kids. My dad told us this week that we had a few projects to do before we could leave town. It would be like summer camp, he said. But for Christmas. Christmas Camp started with family breakfasts where we learnedContinue reading “family art project”

I am trying to do a lot of things for my home this weekend, since I found out my office will be closed for a while and I’ll be working from home A LOT. (Sandy flooded my office, you guys. womp womp.) I will share more apartment pictures soon so I can show you whatContinue reading “art”
hurricane what? (also, screen printing)
It’s impossible to write/think/breathe without first talking about Hurricane Sandy. I can’t stop looking at pictures of flooded streets and damaged houses, and I really hope people are getting the shelter and help they need. I am one of the few who is doing well at home, with the power on. I am very grateful,Continue reading “hurricane what? (also, screen printing)”
