Postman just delivered a package with THREAD festival brochures in it. And my picture of a pincushion is featured on it! Yay!
Needles Eye Tunnel was a bit scary to drive through. It felt like I was threading a needle. Needles Eye Tunnel is one of three tunnels located along the Needles Highway (South Dakota Highway 87) which is part of the Peter Norbeck Scenic Byway in Custer State Park, South Dakota. At 8'4" in width and 11'3" in height, this tunnel is the narrowest of the three tunnels along this highway. In fact, it is the narrowest tunnel in the state. If you find yourself in this part of South Dakota, do yourself a favor and take the time to explore this beautiful park.
The assignment was to create a cover and spread for a magazine inspired from two distinct fashion designers. My inspiration was Valentino and Christian Lacroix.

From thedailylumenbox.com Rollei Retro 80S shot at ISO 50 with SMC Takumar 28mm f/4 and No. 2 close up lens on Pentax Spotmatic F. Developed for 5:30 at 72° F in Cinestill Df96 monobath.
Modern weaving machines use thousands of cords to lift the warp threads of the cloth such that a pattern emerges. The machine this picture was taken from shoots the weft thread using solely air!
I needed some darker red thread to finish this little project. Since it's already dark, photos will have to wait until tomorrow. These reds feel so Christmas-y to me! Even thought this project isn't at all Christmas! :)
Recently I swapped some fabrics for colorful threads and zippers. My husband had to add two additional rows. And now I've got even more wonderful rainbow:)

I'm taking a fabulous class which involves a lot of hand stitching and a wide variety of threads. Some people collect different threads like others collect fabric! The different displays of everyone's threads was beautiful for sure. For this shot, my camera was set at f1/8 and I focused on one spool of Perle Cotton, letting the others blend and meld together. cy365 335/365
did this for personal. Sure was fun..may never be finished..
very old bone buttons, covered buttons, paper tape measure, doily,
old thimble, dog charm, shell buttons
My needle-working skills are minimal but just up to making a minor repair to this pair of trousers. I can see close-to very well but the needle threader helps to get the cotton through the eye of the needle.
The two carnations in the back are vintage and the one in the front is another project I've started but haven't quite finished! I found a similar pattern to the original ones in a vintage booklet so made the melon orange one in the front. My version is not as fluttery as the original, I'm not sure exactly how it's constructed without taking it apart. The instructions I've found is a pretty simple pattern and seems to help if you have variegated thread. I found some on ebay perfect for the flower size. I think it may be a modern day size 30 thread.
I love watching slugs and snails, specially when they do more unusual things like a spot of abseiling. From back log, 2013!
For 7DOS, unusual pov. Taken looking down at a folding colour chart (for embroidery threads) positioned on a mirror.
I took a 33 mile long dirt road from Blue Mesa Reservoir over Blue Mesa and down into Big Blue Creek, and I did not see another vehicle on the road. But I spent 15 minutes stuck in traffic--an enormous herd of sheep. I could not see the front of the herd, or the back of it--they just kept coming, streaming across the road. I finally lost my patience, and creeped forward toward the stream of sheep, and they parted around my vehicle.
I saw the shepherd's trailer, but the shepherd was not around. I was curious to know how many sheep were in the herd that seemed to have no beginning and no end.
As the sheep entered the spruce fir forest, they broke into a series of lines, and that is when "threads of wool" came to me.
He, who every morning plans the transactions of the day, and follows that plan, carries a thread that will guide him through a labyrinth of the most busy life.

When we moved, I no longer had this nice "behind the door" spot for the thread rack so I cut it in half and it now sits on the work table behind my embroidery machine. It originally held embroidery, serger and regular sewing thread as well as a few spray cans. In its new form, it only holds embroidery thread.
The new version can be seen here:
