This is my thread storage at my sewing machine (a vintage Bernina with a knee pedal instead of a foot pedal). Container found at the thrift store for $1.69. Don't know what its intended use might've been -- clear plexiglass on both sides and one side slides out. A handle on top.
Hopefully not too "Charlie Brown"! Part of 4 different style trees on this pillow. Free motioned with four different colors of green thread.

Today I spent some time putting a bit of work towards an art piece I have been chipping away at for well over a year. It's one of those where I really wasn't certain of the end. I couldn't see it complete. I just knew I had to start it because it kept whispering to me. I let go and just started, allowing it to go wherever it went. I still don't have a vision of the exact finished piece, but recently I have started polishing the mirror again, which always makes things a bit more in focus. This is a pile of threads that I pulled from some pieces of fabric.
| threads |
string the flaxen weft
with love on your fingertips
to create a new
fabric for this world
blanketing the hearts
that hold the heavy loads
strength in the warp
shoulders the burden
in the creating
is also the destruction
the pulling of threads
to unleash a new edge
a birth of time
folding over the weave
never losing
my line to you
Three Dorset Buttons, actual size about an inch across. Made using a brass curtain ring and a single length of buttonhole twist for each one.
I sew at 2 different areas and was tired of chasing my pincushion around, so I made one to fit tightly into a sewing drawer that I keep sitting on top of the cabinet. Works GREAT! The little thing on top has sand in it, for my needles.
