One of the prizes on her Easter hunt was a sewing kit for making fancy hair pieces. She learned to thread the needle, make a start knot, stitch, gather, make a square knot, and make a finish knot.
Empicoris rubromaculatus, common name of this species is thread bug. A cosmopolitan assassin (Reduviidae). Found in my kitchen, Hobart, Tasmania. ~4.7mm bodylength.
This reduviid belongs in the subfamily Emesinae, all members of which tend towards thin bodies and very elongated limbs. Thus collectively called thread-legged bugs. Their forlegs are raptorial and not used for walking.

This embroidery thread came in a bag of vintage zippers from the thrift store. anyone interested in swapping some fabric for these? I don't embroider so I won't use these. There are 57 different pieces (not necessarily different colors) and some blank cards.
would love a FQ of Momo wonderland (like the butterfies). or try me if you are interested!
Giant spools of thread purchased for fifty cents each. I think I'll use the bright green on my table cloth skirt. Or maybe that teal color.

In response to a question on a thread, do I need a macro lens? These were all taken @ 50mm on three different lenses, Tamron 28-75mm @ 50mm and at the min focus of 0.33m. The 50mm f1.8 @ 0.45m, and the 50mm f2.5 Maco @ 0.22m (1:2). I've used the compact flash card for reference as it is a 'known' size.
My 50mm f2.5 is a bit outdated now and only gets as close as 1:2, most 'proper' macro lenses on the market now, Canon EF-S 60mm, Tamron 90mm, Sigma 105, Canon 100mm etc all can get closer and do 1:1.
Obviously the Tamron would get a bit 'closer' if it was at 75mm, but it still won't get anywhere near as 'close' as the dedicated 50mm macro.
This is a piece of Tatted edging I am working on. I am fairly new to tatting so it is going a little slow

Today I presented my methods for thread drawing - using four different techniques for this simple piece - to the Harbor Art Guild in Hoquiam, WA.
I used four different techniques to create this image - standard lock-stitching on a home machine, darning on a home machine, fabric applique with fusible web, and hand-embroidery.
