by Athena // December 27, 2012 // 12 Comments

FO Fridays: Tiny Shoes

by Athena // December 21, 2012 // 4 Comments
This was a complete and utter stashbuster. I really don’t know of any girl babies, and I just made this since I had the pattern book and the yarn. It turned out a bit meh to be honest even for... Continue reading →

Booking Through Thursday – Present Tense

by Athena // December 20, 2012 // 5 Comments
Any books you’re particularly hoping to be gifted this year? Any that you’re giving as presents this holiday season? – BTT Since Christmas isn’t really celebrated by my family, it’s low on gifts. I do like the holiday season. I... Continue reading →

by Athena // December 16, 2012 // 2 Comments
Hello everyone! Happy Sunday! How is everyone’s holiday season going? Last week, I mentioned I was a bit sick and I actually got worse so I’ve been doing nothing this whole week. Or more than my usual amount of nothing.... Continue reading →

Booking Through Thursday – Contemplation

by Athena // December 13, 2012 // 4 Comments
So … you’ve just finished reading a book. For the sake of the discussion, we’ll say it was everything a book should be—engaging, entertaining, interesting, thought-provoking. The kind you want to gush over. The question is—do you immediately move on... Continue reading →

Sunday Salon – Busyness

by Athena // December 9, 2012 // 10 Comments
Hello, everyone! I read one book last Sunday and it was Habibi by Craig Thompson. I will read a bit today, but I haven’t decided on what to read. It’s been a social week, but again, not a super productive... Continue reading →

Habibi by Craig Thompson

by Athena // December 8, 2012 // 1 Comment
Craig Thompson is probably one of my favourite graphic novelists. I enjoyed both Blankets and Carnet de Voyage, both of which were more memoirs of his life in graphic novel form. Habibi is more dark and violent than his other... Continue reading →
