This had to be one of the most beautiful insects I had ever seen. I didn't even realise this type of insect existed (thanks to tr33lo for the indentification of it!).

 

In fact it was so beautiful I spent 15 mins crawling around on the hard, rocky Sierra Nevada ground trying to get a decent shot of it. It was very camera shy, and my knees hurt quite a bit afterwards!

My grandmother packed so many spools of thread into the sewing table and organizer. I don't know what to do with it all.

Scenes from my father's fly-tying bench.

This thing is awesome. It's an automatic needle threader from Italy. I love the Italian patent number on the bottom of it. I still haven't figured out how it works though. I flunked the sewing part of Home Ec in high school.

thicker thread used, they go so fast!

In the northern part of the city of Kolkata one can see many such small factories which are equipped with loads of machineries that create sheets of cotton from the yarn of white cotton thread. Once the sheet is made it is sent to the various clothing industries to be made into the desired product.

Anniversary gift to my wife, a portrait of us made entirely out of thread.

Instead of using nails, I decided to install brass inserts used for carbon arrows. These brass inserts allow me to thread in various feet for proper footing. I have rubber feet, spikes, and my favorites which are the small game “Hammer Heads” shown in the picture. These grab and hold firm on most surfaces I encounter.

Aaron loves shopping at Buckles. The girls that work there dote on him and help him not only look great, but feel great.

 

This older Cosmo Cricket line (I miss them) was the prefect theme for this page. I blended Slate PowderPuff ink around the circles to add depth and grounding. Machine stitching along the frame and vellum behind the photo to make it pop was also added.

I did this while watching Dexter, Last House on the Left and Bones. Kind of funny.

Completed this project within a couple of evenings, as the designer predicted. Overall, happy with the outcome, though I wish the pattern had contained more info -- would have been a much faster project. Planning to tea-dye these.

 

This is a volunteer effort for our local historical society to use in upcoming Civil War sesquicentennial events.

 

Will be making more but will use a different pattern.
