This article is brought to you by Brown Paper Stitch, my business that makes your wardrobe pawesome by embroidering your pets on clothing.
I’m in full stitch mode over here. This past week saw little sketching and a lot of custom pet portrait embroidery. I have several shirts in my possession. And while all of the garments and patches in my studio are in some stage of work, I was able to complete (and send) a set of kitties on a flannel shirt. It was my first embroidery on a buffalo plaid shirt, and my second on flannel. .
I find it hard to just sit there in silence and work (as I’m sure many of you do). So I am constantly on the hunt for what to watch and listen to. Some weeks are more successful than others. And this week turned out to be pretty great. If you’re in the same boat as me, here are some of my recommendations.
(Some of) what I watched and listened to while I stitched:
Class Action Park, HBO Max: This short documentary film (it’s about an hour and a half) is about an amusement/water park in New Jersey that existed from 1978 to 1996. It was run by a bonkers guy who had ideas for all these crazy rides that weren’t safe—to say the least. The movie has a Tiger King vibe with an eccentric guy in charge of the park.
The Vow, HBO Max: I remember when Allison Mack was arrested on sex trafficking charges for the cult NXIVM. (I think that was 2018?) This is a documentary series about the organization and wow! It is shocking, sad, and very good.
Tom Brown’s Body, podcast: I am endlessly fascinated by people that just go missing, never to be seen from again. Produced by Texas Monthly, Tom Brown’s Body is the story of the mysterious death of a boy named Tom Brown who disappeared one night in Canadian, Texas. There are three episodes available now. (New ones are released on Tuesdays.)
