Hello my Flickr friends!!!
Red Lady and Teddy Bear were in the middle of a sewing course. Teddy Bear wanted really badly to learn how to sew… He had so many shirts without buttons !! Red Lady is very good with a needle (see yesterday’s picture). She loves to sew and can teach anyone how to sew a button for sure! So since, both of them, Red Lady and Teddy Bear, were on quarantine together (they both were in contact with Yellow Lady and Mr. Kosmo who were on a trip, but not together) it was a perfect timing and perfect activity to keep them busy.
All of a sudden, Teddy Bear heard something! It is a well know fact: bears have a great sense of hearing and can hear almost everything!! In fact, the Army thought about using them as spies during the WWII but since there have been a few causalities when trying to understand what the bear was try to tell with his roar, the project was abandoned….
Teddy Bear was hearing a very, very low noise and a very particular one : the sound of toilet paper roll flapping on the wind ! Yes, Teddy Bear was positive: somewhere, not that far from the quarantine dome, toilet paper was flapping on the wind…. like a beautiful white flag….
Without hesitation, Teddy Bear run very, very fast in the general direction of the noise! Yes, TOILET PAPER for everyone!!!! He was ecstatic!! It is not that they had no toilet paper left, but you can always stock more!! There is no such a thing as too much of toilet paper for two persons in quarantine! And even if you have too much toilet paper, you can always use it later, after all the Covid -19 panic!!
Teddy was running like crazy and he was the first in line at the store! He grabbed as many rolls as he could…not even waiting for the clerk to put all rolls on the shelf! He had a huge pile of toilet paper rolls in his tiny hands (keep in mind that the toilet paper rolls were miniature, and yes, I made them myself!!! Super easy to make and I didn’t use any toilet paper to make them!!!!) and he was about to go back to his quarantine dome but…. People in line looked very angry!! Teddy Bear got all the toilet paper there was in the store! Just few minutes after the pile was restocked… Everyone was super mad and pissed at Teddy… The situation looked very dangerous… The crowd was getting bigger and bigger and everyone was pointing fingers at Teddy Bear ….
So, without hesitation, Teddy started to run, very, very fast carrying all the rolls back to the dome and Red Lady!!!
Without any air to breath (he didn't wear his mask so he had to hold his breath for the whole time !!), he made it just in time!! The crowd was behind him and they almost got one of his paws, but Red Lady quickly closed the quarantine dome and they were safe again! Only after, Teddy Bear realized that, he lost one precious roll of toilet paper and all of his buttons he wanted so badly to sew back on his shirt….
The moral of the story: you may have all the toilet paper in the world, but you will never know what you may lose in order to get it!
Today is an orange day at Color My World Daily and we celebrate buttons at Crazy Tuesday Group. And of course, we love teddy bears at the fabulous Happy Teddy Bear Tuesday Group!!!
Die Herausforderung in dieser Woche lag im Lichtaufbau.
Zum Ausleuchten der Nadel habe ich einen Blitzkopf mit Snoot und Honeykomb Aufsatz verwendet und über zwei Styroporplatten das Licht gelenkt. Der Blitzkopf stand links unten hinter dem Objekt - ca. im 170° Winkel zur Kamera. 6 Fotos wurden mit Focus Stacking zusammengefügt.
The challenge this week was the light construction.
To illuminate the needle I used a flash head with snoot and honeykomb attachment and directed the light over two styrofoam plates. The flash head was located in the lower left corner behind the object - about 170° angle to the camera. 6 photos were assembled with focus stacking.
This is a free work especially for the Macro Monday challenge | Dies ist eine freie Arbeit speziell für die Macro Monday Herausforderung.

For Macro Monday's "Inspired by a Song"
I've chosen Sam Mendes song 'Stitches'
I've always loved the chorus for this song
I'll be needing stitches
Tripping over myself,
Aching, begging you to come help
And now that I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches

Needle and the thread,
Gotta get you out of my head
Needle and the thread,
Gonna wind up dead
Needle and the thread
Shot for Macro Mondays, theme "Needle and Thread".
Using an expired suturing set from my doctoring days, I tried my rusty techniques on this slice of bacon. The final result was not bad, considering...
I am still having fun with thread (this time embroidery thread on the table with the beads and the metallic thread is in the needle.
Taken with a Canon FD 50mm 1.8 lens on reverse macro ring on a Canon 1DS Mark III and edited in ON1 Photo Raw Max 2024 adding a minimalist preset.
I want to thank each and everyone who took the time to visit my little space here on Flickr and perhaps gave a like or a comment on my image.
Hiding the end of yarn in my granny square. Making a blanket and it´s lots of yarn just waiting to be hidden away. Not my favorite when it comes to crocheting, but hopefully the end result will be good and warm. HMM!
This is a stacked focus macro shot I took today because I need to learn this technique. #MacroMonday #NeedleandThread

I thought of calling this "sew far sew good" but refrained from that. I decided to leave the silly titles to Matt Not too pleased with this...saw a much better version elsewhere!

... the meaning?
perhaps the fashion symbol in Milan...
perhaps the Milan Underground which colors are yellow, green and red...
perhaps the Sforza snake, the symbol of Milan....
perhaps all this in this awesome majestic sculpture placed in front of Ferrovie Nord station in Milan.... a happy touch of color...
Needle, Thread and Knot (Italian: Ago, Filo e Nodo) is a public artwork in two parts by Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen in Piazzale Cadorna, Milan, Italy.
Commissioned by the City of Milan as part of the renovations of the Milan Cadorna railway station, and unveiled in February 2000, the sculpture is made of stainless steel and reinforced plastic, painted with polyester gelcoat and polyurethane enamel. The "knot" is placed in the middle of a fountain on the middle of the square while the sewing needle is on the footpath in front of the train station. According to the artists the needle pulling thread through fabric is a metaphor for a train going through a tunnel. The thread wrapped around a needle also "paraphrased" the city emblem of a snake coiled around a sword. According to the City of Milan it is also meant as a tribute to Milan's influence in the fashion industry and the three thread colours (red, green, yellow) represent the lines of the Milan Metro.

Handy to have - the top of the needle is split so the thread can be pushed down into the eye. A great alternative to squinting it through sideways.
