    All the Pretty Flowers

    Artist Lulie Wallace’s floral still lifes offer a fresh, modern take on the traditional subject matter. I love the balance of bright color and muted neutrals.

    And Not a Drop to Drink

    Perhaps it’s the ongoing drought here in Texas, but I find myself obsessed with watercolors. My favorites aren’t landscapes or portraits, but interpretations of familiar patters. These postcard sized watercolors of ikat patterns by Kristin Reger for Dublab chief among them.

    A Little Monday Fun

    One of TV’s funniest moments immortalized in thread by Laura de Diaz. I wish I had the patience to learn embroidery.

    Book Yearning

    I think Jillian Tamaki is my new favorite person. She is painstakingly recreating the covers of Penguin Classics (three of my favorites) in needlepoint. The covers are fully functional, too, with French flaps. I wish I had this kind of talent and patience.
