Hello blog! It’s been a while, hasn’t it? There’s basically no point in apologizing anymore; the secret is out: I’m a flaky blogger. (Is that too many colons in a row? Is ther...
If you’ve ever been on the Subway in Toronto, you’ve probably noticed that some of the older, non-renovated stations still boast some gorgeous type. I recently found out that the TTC actu...
Remember that one time I said “hey, I’m going to start blogging 6 days a week!”? Yeah, me either. I’m unfailingly horrible at blogging consistently, which is why I’m con...

Happy Friday! The Lost Type Co-Op is one of my very favourite places to find free/by donation typefaces, and Abraham Lincoln by Frances MacLeod is no exception. I mean, just look at it! It makes me ...
Welcome to another Font Friday! I hope you’ve had a lovely week. Today’s typeface comes from Behance and is one of my favourite free decorative faces that I’ve come across lately. ...
I’m warning you right now, if you’re not a computery sort of person or completely fascinated by the inner workings of my decision process, you’re probably not going to enjoy this po...
Happy friday! Here’s a new (free) font to spiff up your collection! You can download Cassannet (via Atipo) for free if you tweet about it. They also accept donations. Gosh, it’s pretty.
Whoops, it looks like in my haste and excitement about my new cover letter that I made a few mistakes when posting it. Here’s the real version. xo
If you follow me on twitter (and if you don’t, you really oughta), you’ll probably remember that I’ve been going on and on (and on) about a certain cover letter that I’ve been...
{source} One of the major perks of moving to Vancouver was supposed to be the mild, better than Toronto weather. Not so, it seems, as I’ve received more “I’m sitting on a patio in ...
I decided to start a new feature here at Crook and Villain called Font Friday, where I’ll be sharing my favourite fonts (free and otherwise) that are available for purchase or download around t...
I’ll be the first to say, I loved Pinterest. It felt like such a great way to collect and curate inspiring content, and had the fringe benefit of being a pretty good social networking tool for...
The other day I decided that I simply couldn’t live for another solitary minute without making and eating an omelet, and since I (a) normally don’t like omelets and (b) don’t know h...
I couldn’t possibly let today go by without immortalizing it on my blog! I didn’t do anything that special (unless you count an accidental nap this afternoon which I’m sure I’...
This kind of made my night. Strangely accurate. Sorry things have been so quiet around here…if you follow me on Twitter you’ll probably have noticed that I’m slowly falling apart....
To wrap up Valentine’s day, I asked one of my dearest friends, Olga from the always enjoyable Get Thee to the Punnery to write a little something about her past Valentine’s experiences. ...
These are kind of the greatest ever. See the whole set here!
As I’m newly single and well on my way to becoming a reclusive cat lady, I thought what better way to celebrate valentine’s day with some hope for us all: glamorous ladies and their cats....
I’ve been wanting to start doing “What I Wore” posts for a while now, but I hadn’t ever gotten around to it. I was planning to take a few pictures of a little art project I d...
I’m really happy to have another lovely lady here today, Emily from Postridiculous. She blogs about everything: fashion, design, video games, photography, funny anecdotes, animated gifs…...
I am both excited and delighted to have my lovely pal Anya from Willow & Zoe here today. She always finds the cutest things, so I was delighted when she kindly agreed to put together a she + him...
Although I don’t have a Valentine this year, I still kept bookmarking all the pretty cards that caught my eye. Here are some of my favourites! I think they’d be pretty swell to get, ev...
I’m pretty happy with how this Venndiatry print turned out. I had some technical issues making it, but it turned out alright in the end. I really, really need a better computer though. My li...
or, lets face it, distraction. I love it when she comes to visit me during “work hours”. (she used to be terrified of my desk chair, and wouldn’t come near it.)
A lot has happened in the past month, including an epic move, break-up, new job, apartment furnishing, cat relocating, etsy store opening, and unpacking until I swore that I’d never ever move a...
off to work at my new job! wish me luck! here are some super cute pictures of the Meeblet. (I’ll stop one day, I swear.)
Meebo, while often a tiny, menacing creature, is often very, very cute. Exhibit A: she really enjoys sleeping in the bathroom sink, and sometimes even chases her tail in it. I know. Also for your c...
Ugh. On the weekend I went to Staples to pick up a desk chair and was talked into having it built and delivered to me. Flash forward to today, and I’m STILL waiting for it to arrive. I want t...
