Welcome to Drop Dead Quirky - If you've got a problem, yo I'll solve it... as long as your problem is that you need something stitched. Other than that... I don't know, no guarantees. I do make great cinnamon rolls, though.
Purveyor of pop culture stuff and nonsense (including, but not limited to, embroidered Kanye West tweets - As featured on Regretsy, Jezebel, The Village Voice, Gawker, Buzzfeed, NPR, Biba Magazine, Spin.com and the Huffington Post among other places- If your life isn't complete without one, please see the info below!)
Now, you can like me on Facebook - http://www.facebook.com/DropDeadQuirky
About the shop: I stitch things and stuff, especially pop culture references, old school hip hop lyrics and bad puns. I'd like to think that I can stitch nearly anything, so if you've got something you'd like to see translated into thread - tweet, facebook post, portrait, inside joke, outside joke, family crest, your favorite sea animal, boobs - send me a message and I will do everything possible to make what you want.
About me: I grew up in the craft stores and thrift stores of Southern California, I like to make stuff and experiment with art. I watch a lot of tv, I have an endless capacity for useless knowledge and an uncanny ability to always say the worst thing in any situation. I'm a mom, a wife, a voracious reader and I haven't seen my natural haircolor since I was about 14. I collect vintage Pyrex and traditional tattoos and am usually open to trading for either of those.
Embroidered Tweet FAQ:
They are hand-stitched and mounted in 5"x7" frame. They are currently $50 each plus shipping ($6 in the US, $15 outside the US) - **If you'd like a tweet unframed, which is just the stitched fabric, it's $45 including shipping in the US (international shipping is $3 extra)
Because the tweets are all done completely by hand, each of them are one of a kind. Additionally, because they're done by hand, you can pick any tweet that will make your life complete, and that applies to Kanye and non-Ye. (also, unless the tweets is from your personal account, I'm not open to adding or changing anything from the original text).
**PLEASE NOTE** most of my work is on fibers and I do have pets in my home (2 dogs, 2 cats and a 14-year-old boy), so if you are extremely allergic to any of those things, I would recommend against eating any of the pieces or rubbing them all over the sensitive parts of your body (no judgment).

I have a blog, too, because I guess I still think it's 2001?

I doubt anyone has bothered to read this far.

I mean, seriously, who reads through the whole "shop info"?
And if you are reading this far, what are you hoping to find? The secret of life? The secret of Nimh? The secret of my success? A great banana bread recipe?
Boobs.
