MEET ME IN MONTAUK
So it seems like every time I turn on the TV, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is playing on one of the premium channels. We get the full channel line-up offered by our cable provider (since we are at-home people and never go anywhere, why not?), and yet I’ve watched this movie twice, [...]
Read MoreCATS AND CROCHET
Shall we? It’s been a while, I know. I know, I know. I’ve been writing over at xoJane.com lately, and I haven’t updated here at all. I have a new cat, since I for sure won’t be having any more kids. Say hi to Khaleesi, Mother of Dragons: I’ve also been recapping episodes of “Breaking [...]
Read MoreYou Didn’t Kill Me, 2011. Not Even Close.
First: this post is brought to you by the bottle of Two-Buck Chuck I bought to use as cooking wine but Jeff and I just opened anyway because it’s Friday night and what the hell (really terrible wine, btw). Second: seriously, 2011? Went by way too fast. Is this because I’m old now and every [...]
Read Morethe zeitgeist vs. copying
My very talented friend Cheryl Cambras posted a link to another talented artist, Yokoo Gibraan, whose designs are being ripped off and sold on Etsy. I won’t link to the stealers, but do a search on Etsy for “yokoo” and you will get not only items made by the artist herself, but items sold in [...]

Last week, the Ex-Husband got ahold of a Cintiq, which is this amazing monitor thing that you can draw on. And he spent a good amount of time turning photos of his favorite women (his girlfriend, Emily McDowell; his best friend, Shelby; and me) into portraits in the style of Patrick Nagel, an artist probably best [...]
Read Morei do not like these shoes (but maybe you do)
First of all, whoa. I can’t believe the post that shall not be named struck such a nerve with so many people. And I know when people read nerve-striking commentary, they will always filter the contents of that commentary through the lens of their own experiences, sometimes to the point of assigning meaning that the [...]
Read Moresurprises, everywhere
So when I’m not making over-priced hats, I’m enjoying time with my six-year-old son; or working at my day job (yes, I have one); or spending time with my partner-in-crime, Jeff; or folding laundry; or stressing the eff out while watching The Walking Dead (Do you watch it?! Most stressful show on TV, hands down); [...]

Read Morewednesday update: living in the material world
A couple of weeks ago I reported that my hands were in the process of detaching from my arms. Gladly, they did not, in fact, fall off. Instead, I spent a good 10 or so hours making a sparkling new hat in 100% wool. When I make a hat, I’m usually sitting on the sofa, [...]
