After almost 3 months of work, with the new 65-foot tall poles put up, then have their two sets of crossarms attached and the old electrical conductors or power lines lifted up from the original 1960s poles up onto the top crossarms and insulators... the new and shiny aluminum cables are finally being threaded through the sets of pulleys that are temporarily placed on the second set of crossarms.
The new set of three-phase electrical power lines will still need to be placed and tied onto the new pin insulators... then after all that, these new lines as well as the newly installed transformer at Entergy of Mississippi's North Brookhaven Substation will be put into service, distributing electrical power to the large industries in the area.
This is a part of Entergy of Mississippi's project to replace the old wooden poles on this line with taller ones as well as installing a second set of three-phase electrical power lines or a second circuit as the crew calls it, delivering more electrical power to the ever growing Rex Lumber Company Mill which was drawing way more power than the current grid could handle and with a newer transformer installed over at the nearby Brookhaven Substation, the Rex Lumber Company Mill can operate more efficiently without putting too much strain on the rest of the system.
This project is being done by a subcontractor called Shelton Energy Solutions... a Limited Liability Company (LLC) that is based in Alexandria, Louisiana.
Sketching with thread....! I tried to use a continuous line but the thread broke! Experimenting with using watercolor.

Temari are decorations and were a game enjoyed by people in the New Year but have experienced a decline over the years. Actually, in recent years they have been enjoying a revival and I heard the became popular in foreign countries.
Today I presented my methods for thread drawing - using four different techniques for this simple piece - to the Harbor Art Guild in Hoquiam, WA.
I used four different techniques to create this image - standard lock-stitching on a home machine, darning on a home machine, fabric applique with fusible web, and hand-embroidery.
Xander loves when I swish this old piece of thread around for him to bat his paws at. And every so often, as seen at the end of this video, he gets the better of me and catches it.
A needle and thread can make fabulous designs to make the eyes wonder. This needle has the power to sew their life too.

One of the prizes on her Easter hunt was a sewing kit for making fancy hair pieces. She learned to thread the needle, make a start knot, stitch, gather, make a square knot, and make a finish knot.
Empicoris rubromaculatus, common name of this species is thread bug. A cosmopolitan assassin (Reduviidae). Found in my kitchen, Hobart, Tasmania. ~4.7mm bodylength.
This reduviid belongs in the subfamily Emesinae, all members of which tend towards thin bodies and very elongated limbs. Thus collectively called thread-legged bugs. Their forlegs are raptorial and not used for walking.

Antique Drawn-Thread Lace sampler that I found with my grandmother's things. She didn't sew so it must have been made in the late 1800's. Very fine fabric. Piece is a 5"square.
Giant spools of thread purchased for fifty cents each. I think I'll use the bright green on my table cloth skirt. Or maybe that teal color.
365 Days in Colour - 22/31 light blue. Spools of thread on a "new" spool caddy someone gave me. It came with the thread.

All the principles of heaven and earth are living inside you. Life itself is truth, and this will never change. Everything in heaven and earth breathes. Breath is the thread that ties creation together.
