It's been a while since I've frequented Flickr as I've taken very few photos in the past six months.
However, I've raided the archives for a few shots - here's one from a trip to the île de Gorée in Senegal in June 2009.
Looking back to the Tapestry of Dreams Parade in the World Showcase at EPCOT, Walt DIsney World. We enjoyed this parade and wanted to flash back to Parade of Dreams. (Note: This was taken with a Kodak Advantix Film Camera on our first Newlywed Vacation, so no exif is available).

Unbelievably this tapestry has taken me 35 years to complete. It was bought for me by a friend as thanks for painting a fairy tale mural for her two young girls...who are now grown up with children of their own!
The closure is a drilled pebble button. The straps were woven on an inkle loom.
(This project followed the instructions for a tapestry box or bag woven on a cardboard box, as written by the marvelous Sarah Swett in the Jan/Feb 08 edition of Handwoven magazine.)

"Nature uses only the longest threads to weave her patterns, so that each small piece of her fabric reveals the organization of the entire tapestry."

This is a tapestry depicting scenes from Norse mythology. It was part of an exhibit at the Museum of Nature and Science in Denver, Colorado.
Maker of earth and sky
And everything before our eyes
Your word formed life and light
Within the crucible of time
The genesis of all mankind
Our lives a tapestry of grace
Your hand has weaved together
In You no thread will ever fray
This hope is ours forever
Your work of art a mystery
Beyond all earthly measure
Your love for us a masterpiece
Jesus our hope always
This is what I did in breaks of studying during the week
I've moved offices at County Hall and this tapestry is nearby. Made in 1966 by John P Wynton it hung at the former County Hall in Newcastle until the new buildings in Morpeth were opened in 1981. It features scenes from both Northumberland and Tyne and Wear, including the Northumberland coat of arms, Alnwick castle, St Nicholas's cathedral, Grainger market, Bates colliery, Tyne bridge, Civic Centre, North Shields fish quay, Tynemouth Priory and St Mary's lighthouse, Cambois power station, Hadrian's Wall, Cragside, Berwick bridge and the Cheviot hills.
Hardwick Hall is one of Britain's finest Elizabethan houses built for Elizabeth, Dowager Countess of Shrewsbury, who moved in to her latest creation in October 1597.
Bess of Hardwick, as history recalls her, rose from humble origins to become on of the most powerful people in the court of Queen Elizabeth I. She married four times, each time gaining more wealth and her fourth husband was the Earl of Shrewsbury, one of the richest and most powerful of the English nobles of the time.
For many years the Shrewsburys were responsible for the guardianship of that unhappy Queen Mary Queen of Scots. The dynasty created by Bess included many powerful descendants including the Dukes of Devonshire, Newcastle, Portland and Kingston.
The house itself stands in a commanding position overlooking the surrounding countryside next to the ruins of Hardwick Old Hall. The original Old Hall may have dated from the 14th century, but the ruins you can now see were, curiously, built only a few years before the 'New' Hall alongside.
The story is that Bess had a furious dispute with her husband, the Earl of Shrewsbury, and in 1584 had to leave their home at Chatsworth. She came to the Old Hall at Hardwick and largely rebuilt it as a place for herself to live. However, when the Earl died in 1590 her finances became much more secure and she immediately began the construction of the 'New' Hall. The Old Hall was abandoned and gradually became a ruin.
Stylish decisive zigzags for a nice modern modest interior (or on a mug even). In the idea stage there were waves, lol...
making progress. I realized today this is a visualization of the organizational structure (or lack thereof) of my brain.
