The beautiful bracelet you see in this photograph is from South Africa. I bought it from a young deprived girl who has made it her self. In South Africa everyone makes something and sells it. This is how they get their pocket money...

Thank you for all the visits, comments and faves.
Have a wonderful Sunday !
Day 307/365:
I'm so glad I keep so many of my flowers once they have dried out...always come in handy, especially when I can't think of anything else.
I love Christmas. It's my favourite time of the year: a season of kindness and generosity, friendship, laughter and love. It is also the time of the year when we get to deck the halls with beautiful decorations.
I have a Christmas tradition. I bead Christmas baubles for a select group of friends every year. Each of these baubles is 15 centimetres in diameter and contain hundreds of sequins, varying in number depending upon the complexity of the pattern and the type of sequins I use. Most sequins in these baubles are 5mm in diameter, but there are others that are slightly bigger like the butterflies whcih are 8mm and some which are smaller, like the small flowers which are 3mm. Depending upon the colour of the sequin, I will use either a gold or a silver pin to attach it to the bauble.
These baubles are smaller than some others I do, however because they are complex patterns which start from the outside and are worked outwards in ever decreasing circles, each bauble takes approximately 2 to 2 1/2 hours per side.
It is however, a labour of love which I do to pass the time throughout the year.
The theme for "Looking Close on Friday" for the 15th of December is (a contrast between) "light and darkness". I usually photograph my hand made Christmas baubles in situ on the tree, which I did do, but this year for something different, I also photographed a selection of them on a mirror against a black background, little knowing that this would be perfect for the theme for this week! I hope that you like my choice for this week's theme, and that it makes you smile!

I may have ramped up the pink a bit💕
When it was my birthday last year, a very dear friend who enjoys photography as much as I do, and knows that I collect beautiful and vintage pieces, gave me a wonderful selection of antique ribbons, buttons, buckles, lace and other fine notions. She also gave me three follow up tins of similar delightful gifts for Christmas. Those wonderful gifts have inspired me to create a series of still life images showcasing them along with spools of brightly coloured cottons from my vintage bobbin collection.
The theme for "Looking Close on Friday" on the 5th of April is "pink on a white background", and I immediately thought of my bobbins of pink cotton in various shades. In this case, the wonderfully rich pink vintage grosgrain ribbon used in the image comes from my own collection of antique notions and dates from the early Twentieth Century. I have accessorised it on a 1930s white embroidered lace table runner with a selection of Dewhurst's Sylko reels of cotton in shades of Rose Pink, Pale Pink, Salmon Pink and Light Pink which date from between 1938 and 1954 and an Edwardian miniature reel of multicoloured pink cotton from Coats. I hope you like my choice for the theme, and that it makes you smile!
Belle Vue Mill, commonly known as Dewhurst’s, was built by Thomas Dewhurst in 1828. It opened in 1829 as John Dewhurst & Sons and was one of Skipton’s largest spinning and weaving mills. The mill’s position next to the Leeds Liverpool Canal meant that raw cotton could be shipped in by boats from Liverpool. Finished goods would then be sent back the same way ready for distribution. Coal to power the machine’s steam engines was also delivered by barge. In 1897 Dewhurst’s was bought by the English Sewing Cotton Co. It continued to produce Sylko, one of the mill’s most famous products. It was produced in over 500 colours and sold throughout the world. Sylko cottons are still available at haberdashers today.
In 1802 James Coats set up a weaving business in Paisley. In 1826 he opened a cotton mill at Ferguslie to produce his own thread and, when he retired in 1830, his sons, James & Peter, took up the business under the name of J. & P. Coats. In 1952 J. & P. Coats and the Clark Thread Co. merged to become Coats & Clark's. Today, the business is known as the Coats Group.
The Cardrona Valley has had a 'bra-fence' since 1999 when overnight a number of items appeared on a fence. Passersby then added items to the fence until hundreds of bras were strung out along the fence. In 2015 the fence was rebranded and taken over by the Breast Cancer Foundation. To date over $30,000 has been raised, along with awareness of a great many people who have passed by this location. October is breast cancer awareness month in this country including a nationwide Pink Ribbon collection today.
When it was my birthday a few months ago, a very dear friend who enjoys photography as much as I do, and knows that I collect beautiful and vintage pieces, gave me a wonderful selection of antique ribbons, buttons, buckles, lace and other fine notions. She also gave me three follow up tins of similar delightful gifts for Christmas.
Those wonderful gifts are what has inspired me to create this series of "Embroider my World" images featuring my vintage bobbin collection. In this case, the wonderfully delicate vintage lace come from my own collection of antique notions, and the beautifully embroidered scalloped ribbon from India comes from the same aforementioned friend, but was given to me as a gift by her several years ago. I have accessorised them on a 1930s embroidered doily with two Dewhurst's Sylko Geranium coloured reels of cotton which date from between 1938 and 1954.

Once again, I left my pic until the last minute and couldn't think what to do. Checked the weekly theme for inspiration. It's colour and colour which gave me this idea. I needed some thin red ribbon and didn't have any (or couldn't find it) so I coloured some pink ribbon...sorted...the ribbon and the photo.

Outubro é o mês da Prevenção para o Cancro da Mama.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month
For early diagnosis is of utmost importance, screening is essencial. Make sure to remember that to your mother, aunts, sisters and friends.
This is in memory of my grandmother who would have been 101 today! This is also in honor of my mother and sister who are both breast cancer survivors!

October is breast cancer awareness month so I take this opportunity to remind all (yes, men can have it too) to do the self checks and have the scans. Early detection is pivotal to a better outcome
Something close to my heart, as many of you are aware, Di, my wife, is a 26 year survivor.
To all those who have done the October Challenge this year, thanks for posting some great images and your comments on my images.
Let's do it all again in 2026!
I come from a line of warrior women who have fought and endured breast cancer. Aunts, cousins, my own mother.
As a teenager, I watched it go undetected and strip the very mind from someone I loved. A result of old ways, disregard for changes in the body, and lack of education on the dangers.
My own mother walked this path, not three years after having triple bypass surgery. She did it with grace and determination, and beat it.
Now, it’s my turn. I am fortunate that mine was caught early and that I have doctor’s who sprung into action immediately to make sure it doesn’t progress further.
🌸 Knowledge is power.
🌸 Get your yearly mammogram.
🌸 If you have a history, go for genetic testing.
🌸 Check the girls on your own regularly.
Early detection can save a life - and it might just be yours.
This is not a journey I wanted to be on, but I will face it with hope and determination. I will not waste the lessons learned in trial, the strength gained in perseverance, the blessing of seeing God work in this.
I may have cancer, but cancer will not have me.
My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. Psalm 73:26
