The second time I met the Bloggess, she talked about Neil Gaiman's advice about doing an audiobook, "pretend you're good at it." I found an interview on glamour.com where she talks about it. ... Read More
I bought three copies of the Bloggess's book, hardcover, ebook, and the paperback version. I immediately lent out the paperback version to someone who hadn't read it and never got to read the bonus chapter. A friend made a comment about my cross stitch being mentioned in the book and I had no clue what she was talking about so she sent me a photo.

Thanks to The Bloggess I have had a lot of people coming to my site to get their free cross stitch patterns. I hope you all enjoy! I figured there was no time like the present to remind you all about my Etsy shop. ... Read More
On the two occasions that The Bloggess has made her way to Illinois, I've made her a cross stitch (read more about this here and here.)

I scoured her website looking for the perfect thing and I decided to go with a quote from Copernicus the homicidal monkey. ... Read More
Today I headed into downtown Chicago to see Jenny Lawson, aka The Bloggess, at the Printers Row Lit Fest. I have been on a huge cross stitching kick lately so I decided to make her one. I had a very difficult time choosing my favorite post, but decided to go with Unicorn Success Club. Her book reading was hilarious and the Q&A was great. Afterwards I stood in line for the book signing shaking from the anxiety of presenting it to her. I received the greatest gift I could have asked for, Double Unicorn Success Club status. ... Read More
