When we moved, I no longer had this nice "behind the door" spot for the thread rack so I cut it in half and it now sits on the work table behind my embroidery machine. It originally held embroidery, serger and regular sewing thread as well as a few spray cans. In its new form, it only holds embroidery thread.
The new version can be seen here:

September 2011 ~ Updated yet again! We moved again and now I have a door to put it behind again. Here is a link to the current set up:

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.
A Thread gauge that my dad gave to me had to have the photography treatment in the kitchen studio!
A thread devised and standardised at Manchester in 1841
by British Engineer Sir Joseph Whitworth (1803 - 87). It is used in many types of engineering throughout the world.
Can't buy grandmas old sterling silver thread snippers and a 100 plus year old quilt made by a great great grandmother. Coats and Clark's cotton thread still on the old wooden spools. All priceless.
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!
With a backdrop of quiet winter, the sign of spring blooms bring promises of life anew.

Yet another selfportrait for that same assignment, except this one is sewn with thread! Into the paper! It took forever and I do not know if it was worth it!
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.

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 their 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!
Made as an added extra for a swap from the scraps of the cushion I made for the PTS4.
Some thread sketching on top.
Just an interesting shadow that I happened to see.
Added a texture layer of threaded paper to take the thread thing to a different level.
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.
Captured while out for a walk on the River St bridge to Lemieux Island last night. Taken hand held, but I might have to go back with a tripod someday and see what can be done. Nice target of opportunity. With no clouds, the sky was orange for all of about 3-4 minutes and then a duller blue/black.
