Cracking Wise

Egg-a-Go-Go Pillows

Do you ever feel like your brain is scrambled?

You’re completely fried from dealing with life and would rather curl up with some soft-boiled fiction.

Well, that and a little treat from Egg-a-Go-Go. Working out of an extra bedroom in her Somerville home, Sarah Coyne makes pillows with adorable, silk-screened and hand-painted animals. We’re not yolking — oops, joking — about the cuteness of her brightly colored birds. (Plus, she makes pandas, platypuses, and pigs.)

Hatching an idea of your own? Oh, this is over easy: The imaginative artist does custom work as well. Now you can cuddle all day with whatever creation has been egging you on.

See? Sometimes getting out of bed isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
