...because you love yourself so much that you don’t want to keep hurting yourself for whatever happened. Whatever happened is done and cannot be changed. And we have to accept that and keep going with our life."

Bookmark I made for Emmy with a quote from our favorite sister book of all time, Shirley Jackson's We Have Always Lived in the Castle.
I love this one, but I had a false start on it before I got it right. It's the longest quote I've ever embroidered, so space and text size were an issue and needed careful planning. I also thought I could get away with doing it on felt rather than paper (I was just really hankering to embroider on some felt) but it looked horrible and I quit by "winged."
I bought the neat teal paper at Paper Source, and I hope you also like it because I had to buy a gigantic sheaf of it and will have to use it forty more times. I printed the text in Avenir (thanks to Evan) and then I followed the hand-sewing on paper steps.
The same trick works for images as with text! Just print them out and poke the holes. I forget where I got the rose drawing from, unfortunately, but I just Googled for "rose line drawing" and picked one of the simplest ones. (Thank you whoever drew it, sorry I'm a derp.) The teacup and the squiggle came from the internet too. I resized them to my liking before I printed, and it was perfect.
I embroidered the text with two strands of regular sewing thread and the decorations with one strand. It all came out really subtle but I like it that way.
I'm so glad I started doing this bookmark-making stuff, it's like magic.
"The automatic writing project started out as an activity among friends and locals. I would write a line someone else would write a line and so on... Then people would overhear us and ask if they could participate and write something too (which surprised me) of course I said "yes!" At that point I realized that lots of people have something to say. I started asking strangers to add entries, then I graduated to offering people $1.00 to participate, some people do not accept the dollar and some pay me a $1.00 (paying it forward). It's becoming quite a lovely, surprising and compelling project. People from many walks of life are participating: homeless, a news reporter, academics, doctors, drug addicts, lawyers, tourists etc... People have written things in my journal that they'd never say out loud, not to anyone. Some of it's so sad, some intriguing, hilarious and so on... At the end of the day, every one of these people understand that their entries are being uploaded to the internet and are comforted in knowing that they will be heard. I have no idea where this is going, but it's going just fine! FYI: English is not everyone's first language here. I will be illustrating the book/journal after the text is done. I hope that everyone who reads these entries learns something about people, mostly that we never know what someone else is going through.

Yesterday:
Came across those very well done 'maps of the mind' yesterday in my favorite collaborative art space, the reanimation library of pioneer works. Highly recommend the place. pioneerworks.org/programs/reanimation-library/ . The book is a gem: www.goodreads.com/book/show/695126.Maps_of_the_Mind

Psychotic protagonist of Harry Bingham's current best seller - Good reading for the local coffee shop. Truly a rarity these days - the printed word that is.
If only for that pesky digital device...
Hosted by Goodreads Indonesia at Pasar Festival, Kuningan. Great event, me, Nulisbuku.com and other writers + book lovers are having a great time!
This book is a detailed "biography" of the Douglas DC-8, which first flew less than two years before this book was published. It discusses all aspects of this first-generation American jetliner, emphasizing the Douglas Aircraft Company philosophy of producing the best possible airplane for both customers: the airlines and their customers. The Douglas DC-8 was a revolutionary step beyond the world of piston-powered airliners; with the enthusiasm of the early Jet Age, the author speculates on the future of air - and space - travel, at a time when anything seemed possible.
My full review is available on Goodreads, at:
Kim Dong-hwa is a Korean comic artist who made his debut in 1975. He developed into a comic artist who made intricate stories for adults. Warna Tanah (The Color of Earth) is an Indonesian translated version of Kim's trilogy.
At last, a second bookcase! Before some new furniture last month, the old one was getting full up. Once there were two, I had to think over the philosophical question of how to blend the spectrum across them for a while. Up and down then back up? But I made the right choice.
I've been reading lots more on my new commute, since moving. It's a wonderful addition to life. And I'm finally picking through the unread pile long housed here.
P.S. I like GoodReads now.

from Goodreads - The legacy of the ill-fated Titanic now is almost synonymous with the fictionalised love story of the famous movie. But what about the real couples aboard the ocean liner? Among the passengers were 13 couples on their honeymoon, full of hope for a future together.
In the case of six couples, both survived. Four couples saw the death of the husband and the survival of the wife. And tragically, three couples died. Each story is rich in personal and historical detail.
Read about the lady who wasn’t able to remarry because she had no proof that her husband died, and a mother who had a premonition that an ocean voyage for her son and his new wife would bring bad luck, and made them promise to avoid boats.
********************************************************************************************************
My Review - The sinking of the Titanic was one of the most disastrous accidents of all time. The sad part is that many of the deaths could have been avoided. That's the sad part of this story. If attitudes would have been different, it would have been a whole different story. It was just one big screw-up from day one from assuming that this ship would never sink to the closing off of decks where the 3rd class were riding. It seems that right from the start this was ship just for the upper class. Oh sure, the poorer passengers could ride if they could drum up the money, but they could not have the same things that those riding in 1st class could have.
I did like the book, but I was a bit disappointed that many of the stories were just about the wealthier passengers. They all pretty much read the same to me. Towards the last of the book is where a few stories come in about the honeymoon couples who were 2nd and third class passengers
From Goodreads - The Passage meets Ender’s Game in an epic new series from award-winning author Rick Yancey.
After the 1st wave, only darkness remains. After the 2nd, only the lucky escape. And after the 3rd, only the unlucky survive. After the 4th wave, only one rule applies: trust no one.
Now, it’s the dawn of the 5th wave, and on a lonely stretch of highway, Cassie runs from Them. The beings who only look human, who roam the countryside killing anyone they see. Who have scattered Earth’s last survivors. To stay alone is to stay alive, Cassie believes, until she meets Evan Walker. Beguiling and mysterious, Evan Walker may be Cassie’s only hope for rescuing her brother—or even saving herself. But Cassie must choose: between trust and despair, between defiance and surrender, between life and death. To give up or to get up.
********************************************************************************************************
My Review - you only pick up one book this year, make it this one. I'm not even sure I can exactly explain to you why. Saying it's an excellent read is not enough. It has everything I enjoy in a dystopian/apocalyptic novel. I was really blown away by everything. As I'm reading half the time I'm saying, "Wow, I didn't see that coming" or "You have got to be kidding me". It's suspenseful and exciting. The 5th Wave is one of those books that grabs a hold of you and doesn't let go. I can't wait for book 2.

“It is the boast of Americans that every child has the opportunity of school education, but it is true that many children—through no fault of their own—get nothing from education. Not education, but the right education should be our boast.” I highly recommend this short biography of an extraordinary woman. My Goodreads review is here: bit.ly/1qpMG6c
