May Daily Photo, # 23 Teeny Tiny

Background is once again my grey ironing board!

I reckon the eyes of needles have got so teeny tiny over the years :))))

Was reading my Bible last night when the bookmark thread unfurled :( Makes me think of spiders.

Hoera,

na 5 maanden heb ik eindelijk weer toegang tot mijn account . Ik pak de draad weer op en ga ook jullie foto's weer bekijken.

Hand woven with natural dyes in Williamsburg. All natural except the urine they use to add so the thread would retain it's color over time.

Brass.

Hand fabricated.

Brooch.

It was screws for tonight's photography session

Actually, I want to attempt to sew a dress for summer. Never been good at sewing though. In fact, 9 times out of 10 the thread knots up and I need someone to bail me out by putting the thread right again... so might be a "bit" of a challenge!

I'm starting small though... tonight I made a sunglass case. Nice and rectangular :)

Spent way too much time with thread today.

My son is a fly tier. Much of his bedroom is devoted to this pastime. Among his supplies are several dozen spools of thread in all shades of the rainbow.

Our Daily Challenge: Pastime

Thread sewn into a print and then scanned.

This sweet little spool of thread was in a kit I found at Value Village.

Baler twine hanging from the old barn roof.

Here they are, the nipple colour finalists. if you don't feel properly represented here (and I'll admit I was buying them for Old Man Hanson who is clearly caucasian with olive undertones), please feel free to email me (feel free to include pantone numbers but not photos thanks)

Visiting the DMC factory in Mulhouse, France. DMC is one of the world's leading thread manufacturers.

All our threads are made in France since 1841.

...and thats not easy when you are so young

Isn't it pretty? On the blog today.

from my apartment

Random threads from a few things I've been working on today. They look surprisingly nice together!

This shows just some of my thread collection.

I recently won an embroidery competition and the prize was £100 worth of threads. Help.

In honor of Thread the Needle Day, why not make this sweet little spool to help thread your sewing needle? Make it on my blog!

Just part of Jenny Beasley's thread collection which is all organised into these wonderful thread holders, made and designed by her friend Chris.

1/8" acrylic used as the "thread" on the statue. The curl at the end was heated first, then wrapped over the painted sections and holds in place via friction with no adhesive

A very old reel of thread - one of those I still have with the traditional wooden reel.

As found in an old military sewing kit.
