My card is for this week's SCS Inspiration Challenge & was inspired by this Cosmopolitan Area Rug from Wild Wings.

The pattern in the rub reminded me of this new Basic Grey Sweet Threads Hero Arts flower stamp. I stamped it multiple times on tan cardstock & clear embossed.
I used Distress inks to create resist contrast. The base is stamped with envelope pattern for a bit more texture. I finished with a birthday sentiment.
Even though the background is a flower, I think it makes a great masculine birthday design.
Five minute project: Repurpose an old "box" fan to let a big heavy spool of thread (or wire) spin freely. Read more here.
Postscript: We had this thread hanging there. JellyBean decided to investigate. Final score: string 1, JellyBean 0. (How is even possible to get tangled in a single taut segment of thread?)
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.

This embroidery thread came in a bag of vintage zippers from the thrift store. anyone interested in swapping some fabric for these? I don't embroider so I won't use these. There are 57 different pieces (not necessarily different colors) and some blank cards.
would love a FQ of Momo wonderland (like the butterfies). or try me if you are interested!
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.
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.
With my first cup of coffee in had this morning, I hear this amazing crash! Have you ever had over 100 spools of thread crash to the ground?!
Still sitting where they landed, I haven't had the heart to pick them up!!!
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.

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.
