The fraying must be from the cheap Wal-Mart thread - in fact, this was in a sewing kit I got from Wally World for like $ 1.19. Needles, thread, scissors, yeah, the whole bit ... I'm confident that it's of utmost quality ...
The funky background color (it is actually white - but I kinda like this) must be from the LED flashlight I used for illumination.
Recently I swapped some fabrics for colorful threads and zippers. My husband had to add two additional rows. And now I've got even more wonderful rainbow:)

With eyelids heavy and red,
A woman sat, in unwomanly rags,
Plying her needle and thread"

Urban Threads Dark Fairytales Mermaid, I stitched this for my niece for her birthday. Blogged here: lisasteatime.blogspot.com/2014/07/anas-mermaid.html
I took this at my grandma's house the other day. I found her crazy sewing room hidden in her basement...there was a whole wall of thread!

Baseball balls someone left for free in the lobby of my building. I've never played the sport. But it reminded me of the good times spent on our school field playing Catch.

I am not 100 % sure of the ID on this insect but this is as close as I could find in my field guide.
Slight wind blowing when I took the shot so the image is a little soft.

2008 - Day 8
Yes ladies and gentlemen this is another HDR sunset/sunrise from Ocean Isle, I've taken three of them in the last month and I know there getting old but combined I've had something like 40 favorites on them. But, this will probably be the last one that I do for at least a year because at this point I'm taking pictures for a book and not entirely for me. But who knows, If I get bored I'm sure I'll do it again.
Anyway, I got up this morning way too early, I think there should be a rule somewhere that you can't wake up until after 6, 5:45 comes way too early for normal people to be able to function. There was a huge rush this morning to get out of the house, it didn't really help that I got yelled at for leaving a few bits of trash on the floor. I also had to run out to the car, grab my 18-70mm and my camera, run upstairs take the 18 pictures that it took to get this picture and the other one that I discarded, then pack all of my other things into my bag and run out into the cold wind. Of course in this rush I forgot the laptop, my watch, and the memory card connection piece that would have alowed me to give Noah the pictures that he wanted.
But, I got in the car without realizing all of the things that I'd forgotten, and was unable to sleep during the hour that It took to get to school, because the seat back was straight up because of all of the crap that I had to take with me to school. It's a little crazy really, when you think about it, to have to take my D200 and all of the extraneous crap that went along with that in one bag, my 30 pound bookbag, My 2 notebooks that wouldnt fit in my bookabag and my Canon XH A1 + Tripod and metal case to school. Luckily not every day though.
Once I got to school, dropped all of the extrainious bits off in mrs. Faulks class and came into Mrs. Cullipher's classroom I experience a surge of happiness because Cullipher hadn't gotten there yet and I was 10 minutes late. That could only mean one thing. She wasn't coming! But of course as fate would have it, as soon as I sat down to enjoy the contented feeling of having nothing to do, she through the door!
But who said life was fair?
Before I go on though I'll say that I have nothing against Mrs. Cullipher, she's a great teacher and it's too bad that she's leaving at the end of the month but I think that no matter how good a teacher is and no matter how much you like somebody, you just need a break every once in a while. Working non-stop for weeks and weeks straight is enough to drive one absolutly insane.
But again, she showed up and we read Macbeth for a while. The story is getting alot better and there's alot more suspense now because we're moving to the end of the story but I'm still lost in the dialouge. It's deffinatly not something that I could read by myself, If cullipher wasn't there explaining almost every line then I would have failed every test and quiz. I'm just really glad that we're going to finish it soon.
English ended and we went into Gergles Government class where we spent about half an hour discussing the primaries that had, and were going to take place. It makes for an intresting class because he's a democrat and I'm a republican and I speak up alot in class so we get into it a little. I only wish that I had somebody my age that I could talk like that with, intelligent conversation is not something that is found very easily at Waccamaw Academy. There are others though, like Sarah and Noah. But that's about it. Besides the teachers of course.
I just hope that Hillary Clinton dosen't win the presidncy because America does not need to become a socialist nation. I'm sorry but I like to think that the money that I make will stay my money and I wont have to shell out roughly 60% of my income to fund programs for people that are too lazy to get off their asses and go to work. But please don't get me started on that subject, I'll only tick people off more. Although I think I've already done that judging by what Stefano wrote in the "Who are you voting for" thread in the Teenage Photographers group. And I quote...
"Fuck you, you facist pig!"
Such nice words, arnt they? God I hate people who have no idea what there talking about yet try to pretend they do. But again, that's a looonnnng story.
Anyway, Third period was boring, although I did have noah's computer to mess around with so that made things a little better but not much I did have alot of fudge to give out though which made people become strangly friendly around me.
In math we had a really tough test on finding the radius and center of a circle. I came to the realization about three problem into it that I had no idea what I was doing so, after wracking my brain for some sort of an answer as to how to do it I finally decided that I was going to ignore the way she told us to do it and find another way. It actually worked out really well that I though of that becaues I answered all of the problems and in the end made a 87, the highest grade in the class.
What's funny though is that I'm not good at math at all. It's my worst subject.
So at least I ended school part of the day on a high note.
During lunch I talked to sarah before she went off on some wild prom tangent and got wrapped up in that. I don't see why everybody is so excited about that kind of thing. I don't think I'm even going to go unless they hire me to take pictures. Then I'll deffinatly be going, 1500 dollars speaks really loudly you know.
But, then the bell wrang, noah left and I was stuck talking to Sarah alone. Which is actually how I'd prefer it because she tends to ignore me when anybody more intresting is around. Espically Noah or Stephanie. But I broke out the video camera and kinda freaked her out. She dosent like cameras, espically when there pointed directly at her face and recording her every move. Then things got awkward because I found out last night that she started going out with somebody and, as good as that is for her, the fact that I kinda like her, and the fact that most of our conversations are so full of perversion that when you realize that you can't actually do that anymore, you're basically back to exchanging plesentries and talking about the weather. But hopefully she'll break up with him soon and things will get back to normal.
That sounds really mean dosent it? I don't mean it that way because she needs to be happy for once but I still have to consider my own intrests.
Anyway, they find it hillarious that I actually own slippers. But they are sooo comfortable.
After school I waited around for about two hours waiting for the game to start. I hung around with Ethan and Ciera for the majority of the time until after a little while they got incredibly annoying. I hope she dosen't go on the DC trip next week. I may be forced to make her "Dissapear".
God that's evil.
After that I took some pictures down at the gym, I didnt like any of them. So I think I deleted everything because I'm running low on space in my memory card.
The girls game started and it became apparent that they were going to get stomped. I think they won by something like 40 or 50 points, but I did get a few good pictures despite the fact that my flash was running low on batteries. I went to great lengths to get batteries but in the end I just took it off and upped the ISO which made for a bunch of grainy, unusable pictures.
When the boys game rolled around I had to film the thing. I don't really enjoy it anymore, it just gets tedious sitting there for an hour and a half pointing the camera back and forth at something. I really used to enjoy it but now its just gotten boring.
Who knows what my problem is.
But, it finally ended but I still had to wait half an hour before mom finally picked us up.
Getting home at 10pm is not something that I really enjoy... espically when I have work to do.
Kill. Me. Now.
I say that too often.
this is my new thread cabinet. cabinet made by my dad. my hubby found the antique yardsticks (that's the thrifted part!). i miter cut them and attached them to the front. i love the fun colors and it makes such great thread storage. blogged at www.tallgrassprairiestudio.blogspot.com
In the times before modern mowing machines, an overgrown cemetery wouldn't have been abandoned. That natural meadow would've been the story each summer, grown tall till the scythe came swinging in September. All that mattered was nature not taking over permanently. There was more to do than constantly tending the dead, and wouldn't all those lost souls like somewhere to frolic, anyhow? Many of my visits have little to do with bones, stones, souls, or sad stories. Life is the drive, mine and whatever I encounter on the visit. Today was the tale of spiders, wildflowers, weeds, trees, and me. It seems tragic to make these places all about the dead. As far as what's growing is concerned, there's nothing but life here. I'm getting better at seeing the same.
