i almost like the set-up picture better than the macro ~grin~

OK, I know it's only one needle, but I couldn't think what else to call it. :)

This is one of two needles used for the saddle stitch in the sheath below.

These thimbles belonged to my Grandmother; the one on the right is very battered and worn with several holes. Judging by the damage it looks like punctured fingers from sewing were a routine hazard even with a thimble!...Ouch!!!

The weekly theme is blue

# 61 in my 100 x challenge - using my nifty fifty.

I will have no internet access again this weekend so Flickr will be taking a back seat again. I'll catch up when I can.

Sewing machine in action, sewing face masks at home.

My grandfather worked with these tools for the Detroit

Department of Transportation repairing torn seats on Street Cars and Buses in Detroit, 1920-1950's).

Threading the needle took longer than taking the picture. Eyes! Not what they used to be!

For BDCC monthly challenge - At home -still life - Contemplate a familiar object and give it your own spin. Work with controlled light to demonstrate shape and form.

I haven't done much high key lately. For this I used a tripod to enable me to keep the ISO low and not worry about the shutter speed. I used natural light with a window to the right and reflector to the left.

For Looking Close on Friday - Blue on Black Background

Blue threads on a blue scarf. The embroidery silk belonged to my mother-in-law.

I am spending less time on Flickr these days so apologies if I don't get around to commenting on all of your images or if I just leave a word or two or maybe just hit the star (I really don't like to do that without leaving a comment but sometimes needs must)

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend and wherever you are in the world please stay safe!
