For 7DOS, unusual pov. Taken looking down at a folding colour chart (for embroidery threads) positioned on a mirror.
Made as an added extra for a swap from the scraps of the cushion I made for the PTS4.
Some thread sketching on top.
Sadly, I have seen no Thread-waisted wasps this year yet, so this photo from last year will have to suffice.

Nothing special, feeling a little blah about this outfit.
Day 105 - Meandering through the treasure trove of crafty bits at my parents house I found some yellow in my mum's embroidery thread case. It is nice to find these little scribblings of her hand writing dotted around the house.
It's a wonderful collection of threads, neatly organised in a case which was designed and beautifully hand made by my dad. A perfect symbol of both my parents' extremely creative minds.
Despite the grey weather down here, lovely large windows let in some nice natural light.
of sorts!!! completely useless of course...but pretty!!! They say practice makes perfect...so I'm still practicing!!!
It took me months to locate a copy of this pattern for sale. It's a small leaflet called "Irish Crochet Heart Ornament". I think it's also in one of Annie's Attic's old bookmark booklets, shown with a ribbon woven down the middle of it somehow.
The pink thread was found at a thrift store now being turned into tatting

A mating pair of thread-waisted wasps (Eremnophila aureonotata) visits a Wingstem flower. The adults of this species feed on flower nectar, but the larvae live in a burrow dug out by the female and feed on a big caterpillar that she brings for them and places in the burrow.
I have never seen a male Widow Skimmer until this one and he was so far into the reeds, that I held no hope of having caught a decent picture, having to thread my camera's eye through a tight spot in all the vegetation. But I think this came out pretty OK. Kind of soft and not too much detail, but isn't he beautifully marked?
The fraying must be from the cheap Wal-Mart thread - in fact, this was in a sewing kit I got from Wally World for like $ 1.19. Needles, thread, scissors, yeah, the whole bit ... I'm confident that it's of utmost quality ...
The funky background color (it is actually white - but I kinda like this) must be from the LED flashlight I used for illumination.
A Thread gauge that my dad gave to me had to have the photography treatment in the kitchen studio!
A thread devised and standardised at Manchester in 1841
by British Engineer Sir Joseph Whitworth (1803 - 87). It is used in many types of engineering throughout the world.
Captured while out for a walk on the River St bridge to Lemieux Island last night. Taken hand held, but I might have to go back with a tripod someday and see what can be done. Nice target of opportunity. With no clouds, the sky was orange for all of about 3-4 minutes and then a duller blue/black.
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:)
Baseball balls someone left for free in the lobby of my building. I've never played the sport. But it reminded me of the good times spent on our school field playing Catch.
"With fingers weary and worn,
With eyelids heavy and red,
A woman sat, in unwomanly rags,
Plying her needle and thread"

There's something like a line of gold thread running through a man's words when he talks to his daughter, and gradually over the years it gets to be long enough for you to pick up in your hands and weave into a cloth that feels like love itself.

The amazing texture for this shot provided by Nasos3.
this is my new thread cabinet. cabinet made by my dad. my hubby found the antique yardsticks (that's the thrifted part!). i miter cut them and attached them to the front. i love the fun colors and it makes such great thread storage. blogged at www.tallgrassprairiestudio.blogspot.com
This is tatting I have collected over the years when I have purchased antique thread at thrift stores sometimes little bits of lace are tucked inside the balls. I assume someone meant to go back and finish the ball of thread and never did so I got it instead.
