My superstar work colleague Pav threaded my eyebrows for me today. It took 2 minutes and looks brilliant! She learnt how to do it from a relative who lived in India. It hurt... but it was worth it :)

I made this using a white silk yarn and some dmc cotton perle thread... it was an easy pattern but a lot of little pieces until it came together :o)

an Eatern Sedgefrog with a white thread of some descritpion attached. This chap and two of his mates I saved from a trip to the dump as part of a tree lopping program in my backyard at Rothwell, Queensland.

beautiful handmade thread.

I came up with something I'm calling a "card cheat" for the London garters on pp. 142-144 of Textiles & Clothing: even though the original was probably woven on a rigid heddle loom, I decided to use card weaving to approximate these garters, as I had cards but no loom.

I did this with the understanding that the warp and weft interact rather differently in this kind of weaving, so the finished item wouldn't necessarily look exactly like the original, but I can get the same look.

Here, I show how I threaded my cards to get a similar pattern to the reconstruction shown on p. 144.

In honor of Thread the Needle Day, why not make this sweet little spool to help thread your sewing needle?

My neighbor's box of thread.

January 25, 2014. Not much I could do with this crappy shot.

Just another pattern inspired by my current bird obsession.

We finally decided today to get our own sewing machine.

Thanks to Buglady1104 for the ID. He was about as wide as a quarter, very delicate. Not a particularly beautiful bug but he was interesting. I found him hanging out on a sprite melon.

I'm jealous!

I guess spools isn't the right term, those are beach sticks. I shared my punch embroidery thread with my Niece who just took up crochet. She really likes making miniature bears, she seems to be a natural at it! I can't get specialty thread where I live, my stash has been collected from thrift stores. So we had a thread party. Me, my daughter and my Niece sat around the kitchen table and went to spinning www.sharonojala.com/2013/09/punch-embroidery-thread.html

Available now at your local Hancock Fabric Store.

I kind of like these unusual looking thread-waisted wasps for some reason so had to grab a shot of this one on goldenrod at the park. Focus mostly on the head but still not the best due to lens focus issues.

I bought this in size large, and shrunk it down to fit the space on my shirt...then added two amber jewels for eyes! I chose a tan color thread to match the button color.

Been a while since I was on flickr!

This is the best photo I could get with the equipment at hand (a microscope and a point-and-shoot digital camera) but I think you get the idea. This is the silver-plated nylon conductive thread.

It's not actually gold, the lights just make it look that way.
