Emotional fractals

Bless this house

I can’t stop laughing. Go to The Subversive Cross Stitch and you can buy gorgeous, heartwarming little hand-crafts, created in a classic motherly tradition … then outfitted with Pulp-Fiction-class sentiments. The artwork above is 75 bucks, and I’m seriously considering getting it for a friend, to hang in their office.

Indeed, these handicrafts were inspired by horrible office politics. As the artist, Julie Jackson, notes on her web site:

Subversive Cross Stitch began in 2003 as a form of
anger management therapy when I was dealing with an idiot boss.

(Thanks to Lonnie Foster’s Tribblescape for this one!)
