Getting through the Reeds too this little guy , was a little problematic hence the title.
Latin name
Acrocephalus scirpaceus
Family
Warblers and allies (Sylviidae)
Overview
The reed warbler is a plain unstreaked warbler. It is warm brown above and buff coloured underneath. It is a summer visitor to breed in the UK, with the largest concentrations in East Anglia and along the south coast - there are relatively few breeding in Scotland and Ireland. It winters in Africa.
Where to see them
In the summer, can be looked for in reedbeds in lowland central and southern England and Wales - it is rarer elsewhere. Sings from within the reedbed rather than from a perch, so often heard rather than seen.
When to see them
Mid-April to early October.
What they eat
Insects; berries in autumn

Most species nest in the ground, usually in areas that have sparse or no vegetation; some species construct aerial nests composed of mud; a few species nest in hollow plant stems or abandoned bee burrows in logs.
Larvae feed on the paralyzed bodies of a variety of arthropods (the host varies according to wasp species) provided to them by adult wasps; common hosts include spiders, grasshoppers, and caterpillars.
Adults feed on nectar from flowers and extrafloral nectaries, honeydew, and body fluids of their prey.
I captured this one while it feed on the nectar of this Spanish Needle, in the vacant lot next door.

"Untitled"
thread and paper
18" x 24"
Barletta's intricate "drawings" are meticulously hand sewn stitches into paper.
I changed the pattern a little, made it longer and used 2 elastics to hold it closed. Button is decorative.
Made with this cute tute- www.sewmamasew.com/2011/01/travel-sewing-case-tutorial/ I made it a bit bigger and with 2 elastics to hold it closed, but otherwise I followed the tute.
To be completely honest, I don't think this kit is going to work too well for me, but it's a cute little thing. It was mostly handwork, I made 80% of it on the sofa last night, after about 20 minutes with the sewing machine and iron.
Threading hair is an ancient method commonly practiced in Eastern countries, like Egypt and India. A cotton thread is pulled along unwanted hair in a twisting motion to trap hair in a mini lasso, plucking the hair at the follicle.

After turning the aluminum down to 22mm (0.866"), I cut threads at 1mm pitch.
Perhaps the more experienced people out there can give me a hint. When I ultimately tried this on a factory-made part, the threads wouldn't mesh.
The only variable that I can't measure/verify is the depth of the threads. I have one dinky reference from the library that says that 1mm threads should be .54127mm (21.31 thou) deep. Unless, of course, I'm misreading the very complicated diagram.
But yeah, definately tool porn.

I've seen these around on Flickr and the internet and finally have one to call my own! All of the threads belonged to my Nana.
This is Hardanger-like, but worked over three threads rather than the four most usually used in Hardanger-work. It is perhaps closer to the Danish Hedebo of the 1840s (Hedebo embroidery changed in style over the years) and the embroidery from the Malmö region of Sweden at the same period.

The soft neutrals and blues picked from the sea compliment the speedos, I mean the bright colors of the view on the beach. I couldn't resist snapping this photo, these guys were having so much fun strutting their "stuff".
You're welcome!

I had to mend my messenger bag after the strap fell out (again). I hurt my finger pushing the needle through a ton of layers last time, so I used pliers this time.
Note the neon orange thread.
Ever since I was a little girl I liked to sew. Even before I started school I was attempting to make doll's clothes on my Mother's treadle sewing machine. When I left school I trained to be a Home Science teacher and I originally taught sewing and cooking and related fields. I made most of the clothes for myself and the children. Later my hobby was 'applique' which I was almost as obsessed with as I now am with photography. I designed and made tops for women which I sold through a local boutique. These shiny threads are a remnant of those days. Now I only sew when I have to. No time really!
