Oh my gaaaaawwwwwwd!

That is the most hilariously bad magazine cover I've ever seen. ZOMG! It is so bad that I can't wait to get my mitts on it and read it for the lols myself. I am so glad that I subscribe to Entertainment Weekly and therefore don't have to die of embarrassment by actually buying it in the store. Somebody at EW must really enjoy taking the piss.

If you haven't read Twilight and are an aspiring writer, you should really try them. Because if shit like this gets published, then damn near anything can. I know they're bad, but I can't resist reading them, mostly for the snark. I lent them out to a couple of friends, one of whom has not yet forgiven me. (From her email: "I just realized this was part of a series. I hate you so hard right now. The hardness I hate you with could cut a diamond.")

Bonus: someone made the sparkly vampire version!

Okay, and also my favorite news story of late: "Woman overpowers thief with tea and sympathy." Behold the power of tea! You couldn't do that shit with coffee.

The last cross stitch exchange I joined had a Little House Needleworks theme, one of my favorite designers. I was given Yuko's name and since she has let me know that she received her package, I can go ahead and post pictures of what I made for her. I'm amazed it only took about a week to arrive in Japan.



The back of the pinkeep has a little pocket for scissors and some shell rings to hang thread onto. It was kind of hard to get a good picture of the fabric color; the linen is 28ct Antique Green and it's a very light, mottled green.

I really enjoyed stitching for Yuko. We both have a love of all things pink! :) I'm very happy that she seems pleased with it.
