From fairies at the bottom of your garden to 'the borrowers' we are obsessed with the fantasy of little people in a full-sized world. My 'downsizing' project, using model railway figures, food and everyday objects, is merely an extension of those thoughts.

For Our Daily Challenge: Things That Go Together
This is one of my first shots with my new macro lens, which just arrived today, a Tokina 100mm. The white thread and the highlights on the hat pins are blown, and I did not have time to reshoot. But I am pleased with the clarity of the first results.
Finally had the time to cut the thermal blinds out and sew them.
I knew it was going to be hard, but it was even harder than I thought. The 9 layer fabric was sliding out of the binding, so I discovered I needed to sew around five times instead of once, in order to get a better result.

Our Daily Challenge - Order
Really battled to come up with something tonight.
Made to order?
Just saw that I misread the challenge as 'order' and not 'in order' - sorry!
Sometimes the hardest part of sewing for me is getting the needle threaded. This time I did without any help. Thanks goes to Diana for some inspiration. Taken with a Canon 60mm USm Macro lens. Type L for a better view.

Loving the yarn still. After a couple years of this, I think I'm pretty happy with this body of work. Still so much to discover, to see what I an achieve. : ) Big fat embroidery. xo
The 100 x challenge
I took this one back in January along with a couple of other needle and thread pics but decided not to post them all together.
Agriculture is North Dakota's largest industry. About 90 percent of the state's land is used for crop farming and cattle ranching with about 24 million acres of cropland. On average, North Dakota producers plant about 7.5 million acres of wheat with production totaling 320 million bushels. North Dakota and Kansas are most often the top two wheat producing states.
The climate, rich soil and flat land of the Northern Plains are perfectly suited to the production of spring wheat and durum. These classes of wheat are planted in April and May with harvest generally taking place from late July through September. The time lapse between sowing spring wheat and plant head development is usually 65 to 80 days. It takes another 20 to 30 days for the kernels to ripen for harvest.
The soils are commonly the Williams soil series. The Williams series consists of very deep, well drained, moderately slow or slowly permeable soils formed in calcareous glacial till. These soils are on glacial till plains and moraines and have slope of 0 to 35 percent. Mean annual air temperature is about 40 degrees F, and mean annual precipitation is about 14 inches.
TAXONOMIC CLASS: Fine-loamy, mixed, superactive, frigid Typic Argiustolls
Depth to carbonates ranges from 10 to 30 inches. The soil typically contains 1 to 10 percent coarse fragments but ranges up to 20 percent. Stony and cobbly phases are recognized.
USE AND VEGETATION: Cultivated areas are used for growing small grains, flax, corn, hay or pasture. Native vegetation is western wheatgrass, needleandthread, blue grama, green needlegrass and prairie junegrass.
DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: North-central South Dakota, central, and northwestern North Dakota and northeastern Montana. The soil is extensive.

The third photo in my 100x project - using a macro lens. I've been meaning to do a needle and thread type pic for a while and today I took a few different shots, if I get desperate I may have to use the others as well at some point! In the others it was more obvious that the needle was threaded but I preferred the composition and the pastel tones of this one.
handmade embroidery handbag. A school project assigned to make an ordinary into something special. Stitched by using Perl's, beads etc.
Focus stack (12 images). Shot with two off-camera strobes (Leica SF60/Leica SF C1) . Flash A modified with MagMod MagSnoot, full extended, to camera right, above subject aimed at subject foreground. Flash B modified with MagMod MagBounce to left of camera as key light.
Shot for Barnack's Monthly Challenge in the Leica Forum; things beginning with the letter N.
For Macro Mondays: Three (3)
For Our Daily Challenge: Above the Rest (In this case, it’s the spool with the purple thread.)

Photographed using a Crown Graphic 4x5 camera and a Rex laboratories 4x5 Camera. I took the back off the Rex laboratories camera and took the lens off the Crown Graphic and stuck them end to end. This acted as a long extension to get this macro shot. The lens on the Rex Laboratories camera was a Kodak Ektar 127mm f/4.7 lens in a Graphex shutter. This was about a 6 second exposure at f/32. The film is Ilford Delta 100 developed in Beerenol (Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer).
Made different approaches on the HMM theme Needle and Thread, this one I like as well. Not sure what this is called, in Germany we call it : Einfädelhilfe.
If anyone knows pls let me know so I can tag it accoardingly.
Thanks in advance!
I always remember my mother would stitch some that had torn, as opposed to going out and purchasing a replacement ... sometimes, my wife does the same!!

A stitch in time ... as they say! I was working in my garden this morning and it was oh so cold I only lasted an hour! However, I was in luck as my wife had just finished stitching a little tear on Lewis's sweater!
