I feel like I come late to the game to a lot of things. I just discovered Sandman–only 15 years after the first one came out. I am furiously trying to catch up on the Good Wife, which just started season 5. Last year I got really into Stephen King’s Dark Tower series, and theContinue reading “izabel from saga (embroidery no. 16)”

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)”
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)”
God bless you, but… (embroidery no. 12)
When a dome falls over your entire town, cutting you off from the rest of the world, things can get a little stressful. One of my favorite parts of the book (and show!) was watching how people handled that stress–whether it was admirable or terrifying. This embroidery is from Under the Dome and, well, hasContinue reading “God bless you, but… (embroidery no. 12)”
chapter 19 (embroidery no. 10)
I did something a little different for today’s embroidery. For those of us who grew up with Harry Potter, a charming part of those books were the illustrations in the American version at the top of each chapter. I had a small embroidery hoop lying around that was really the perfect size to fit theContinue reading “chapter 19 (embroidery no. 10)”
i carry your heart with me (embroidery no. 9 and happy mother’s day)
This one is for my mom. Most of you are familiar with this E. E. Cummings love poem, but I believe this particular line can speak to many kinds of love. I don’t live near my mom. My parents are in Atlanta where today I believe they are going on a motorcycle ride in theContinue reading “i carry your heart with me (embroidery no. 9 and happy mother’s day)”
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)”
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”
see synonyms at monster (embroidery no. 7)
For #familybookclub this quarter, we read Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides. (We’ll plan a video/phone chat soon to discuss!) In Middlesex, our narrator tells the story of a Greek family over three generations and a rogue gene that shows up in the youngest member of the Stephanides family and changes his fate. Our narrator Cal isContinue reading “see synonyms at monster (embroidery no. 7)”
