What is this little guy? Its body is about 1cm long, and the antennae nearly equal that. It was rapidly crawling around a terracotta pot in my garden in Seattle, Washington. The leaf in the picture is a rosemary leaf.
Updated: Identified as belonging to the assassin bug family, Reduviidae. Exploration of that family online suggests it is a thread-legged bug.
This embroidery thread belonged to my grandmother. It was passed on to my father, and then to me. I'm looking forward to making some great embroidery with it.
I saw Chinese thread books online and fell in love. I was doing a zentangle project…and decided to combine the two. Origami and I are not the best of friends…yet…so I had to make SO many boxes to get what I wanted…and ended up with 3 books. The boxes open in different ways and are stacked on top of each other to hold thread, pattern pieces, small scissors, buttons…etc. SO much fun!
I made this in about a day when I didn't have a laptop to play with. I bought the #40 sized thread at a charity shop for probably next to nothing. I don't usually like varigated but it seems okay in this. It almost highlights the little bits and pieces.
I think the instructions said 0.6mm hook so I used that (I got a big set of tiny hooks down to 0.05mm or something from ebay). I was really unsure it was actually going to turn out to be 10cm across but i think it is just about and probably would be moreso if I bothered to block it.
whipping waving threading through existance of vegetables on the corner of streets with the same name oh the quiet little intersection in the trees you can almost pretend 19 isn't one light away.
At the "Cymru/Wales" section of the Smithsonian Institution's 2009 Folklife Festival on the National Mall in Washington, DC.
I love it when the thread is 50% off at JoAnn's. That's the only time I buy thread now. Then I buy a handful and revel in all the different colors. I love you, colorful thread.
It looks like something kind of futuristic -- and scary -- but it's actually just the casing for the bobbin of my new (yet old) sewing machine. It was also the source of much frustration the first time I tried to use it.
Definitely didn't need to worry about losing the way with all the thread marking the path many pilgrims walked!
tons of fun stuff in here... bias tape, seam binding, ricrac, even a bias tape maker - came with the sewing machine & other stuff from the estate sale
CN Tower at Bay/Lakeshore. Saw this wicked contrail, and had to hurry to get my camera out. Unfortunately, I had no tripod and the picture is slightly blurry because I literally had to whip my camera out and shoot to get the plane in the frame.
