After the busy day of gift sharing and good food and family time, I find time to draw late at night after the house quiets. Stitched on an index card. Watercolors.
The red and white ones caught on in the 1930s through the 1950s because a colorfast red thread was created, which didn't bleed in the wash. Funny, I had clothes that bled in the 60s and 70s.
Exploring my grandmother's button box, I found a curved needle and a metal button and started playing.
“We dance, we dance. You hold the thread of my soul. You spin, you spin. And you unravel the part from the whole. We laugh, we laugh. I'm so far from where I began. I fall, I fall."
(Maggie Stiefvater)
If you look closely, you can see the string of web holding these two leaves onto one of the trees beside my driveway. You may have to view it in Lightbox in order to see the thin strand.
(Thank you so much, everyone, for your kind words and your prayers for Annie. Your kindness is treasured)

A spool of greenish-gray thread on the scanner. For thread-level detail, I recommend an original-size view of the lower right corner.
This wasp will ambush its prey immobilize it with a swift powerful sting. It will then drag the prey into an underground lair and will lay one egg. When the egg hatches the larvae feeds on the prey. Adults feed on flower nectar and small insects. They are not aggressive towards humans but I don't think I'd want to annoy one.
After noticing the interesting shadow a piece of floss made under artificial light, I experimented with white thread on white paper. I rotated the paper in the morning sun and watched the shadows change. I tried a couple with black thread, and liked those better, then tried colored thread. It was so interesting to see how the shadows looked so different than the string that made them.
"Threads" by Patti Deters. Vibrant strands of yellow, orange, pink, and blue thread are stretched and interwoven, creating a striking pattern resembling a woven fabric. The string lines flow boldly across the image, giving a sense of dynamic movement.

Ha Giang, Vietnam. Those cloaks and colors of a different world, enveloping all of those thoughts and sentiments that begin to unfurl. It's a sight to behold, those times of old, right before your eyes as they unfold. It is lovely, as the joy you see, to be there with this sight and have it as you leave.

Even though my Ordinary Object set is finished, I will continue to photograph those simple things that interest me. I love spools of thread and this large beehive like cone of thin yarn (is there a name for it?) caught my eye at an estate sale and I bought it. I found the entire shape of it so simple and sculptural it has found a place on my desk and I will be photographing more of it.

They are two brothers getting the auspicious threads on their shoulders, which well be there with them life long, of course to be replaced from time to time.
Our Daily Challenge - Order
Really battled to come up with something tonight.
Made to order?
Just saw that I misread the challenge as 'order' and not 'in order' - sorry!
Part of Rae Lakes stopped me with this view. I loved how these water plants created an illusion of threads of hair spreading across the body of water reflecting the backdrop of the pines and Painted Lady and Glen Pass far behind them. The tranquility certainly called for a break and appreciation of what was before my eyes, but I still had to make it to the campground. The rain clouds traveling over the peaks looked quite uninviting.
“Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect.”
― Chief Seattle
These flat strips, about 30" long, are fashioned with an eye on each end and an eye in the middle. As you face the loom, they are installed vertically in a line, going the width of the fabric being woven. A thread passes through the center eye of each heddle. In a simple weave, heddles raise or lower every other thread in a weave with each pass of the shuttle. A wall-sized peg board in the back of the mill held a supply of various lengths.
Sometimes the hardest part of sewing for me is getting the needle threaded. This time I did without any help. Thanks goes to Diana for some inspiration. Taken with a Canon 60mm USm Macro lens. Type L for a better view.

I found this leaf hanging on my window pane by a very thin spider's web, a lone, clinging survivor of the storms that came through last night. It's been here all day.

"The man who believes that the secrets of the world are forever hidden lives in mystery and fear. Superstition will drag him down. The rain will erode the deeds of his life. But that man who sets himself the task of singling out the thread of order from the tapestry will by the decision alone have taken charge of the world and it is only by such taking charge that he will effect a way to dictate the terms of his own fate." ~ Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian, or the Evening Redness in the West
