Macro Monday theme of the week is “Needle and Thread”

 

Old Watermen's Walk, City of London

When my husband's mom passed away several years ago, she left behind a tin with some sewing items. This thread is one of the items. I have never seen a spool of thread with two strands like this, so found it interesting. I wonder if it may have been used for embroidery. She never sewed much, but possibly her mother did.

I placed the thread on the back side of a small quilted wall hanging that I made...a bee printed shirting fabric was used for the backing.

 

Thanks for views, comments and favs :)

The threads that connect us to the world are our survival strategy. They are created and destroyed by us and by others. Fragile like the threads that the spider weaves, they are the measure of vulnerability, persistence, the entanglement of life. And in the poetic reflection on the self, the will, and the world, we will find this fragility in another perfect poem by Carlos Queiroz (1907-1949) Aranha, a masterpiece of Portuguese poetry.

Puffins were on the ledge directly below one of the viewing stations - close enough for shots but difficult to get an angle. I leaned out and over, trying not to give in to vertigo and waiting for gusts to blow vegetation out of my shot!

The Macro Monday theme for 1/30 is screw. This choice fits the three parameters of the theme for MM. It also has garnered the most views and faves. I like the other three for totally different reasons, so I think I’ll dither for a bit before choosing.

 

Btb, I had an incredibly difficult time getting any of these to post. I finally discovered a work around but I’m hoping that my iPhone and Flickr app learn how to play nicely together again— SOON

For Macro Monday - March 16, 2020 - Needle and Thread

 

Week 10 of 52 weeks challenge

   

In the Tulsa Botanic Garden...

In July 1984 on Wyoming’s Sherman Hill, a westbound Union Pacific grain train waits at Dale Junction, Wyoming, on Track 3, as an eastbound reefer train sits over on Track 1. Crossing over from Track 1 to Track 2 is a hot westbound led by a DDA40X and two SD40-2s, with the head end brakemen from both stopped trains on the ground making an inspection of the train threading the needle.

Die Theodor Zeise GmbH & Co für Schiffsschrauben wurde 1868 im (damals noch selbstständigen) Altona a. d. Elbe gegründet., Später war sie in einigen Gebieten Weltweit führend. In der Schiffsbaukrise 1979 ging sie in Konkurs. Die denkmalgeschützten «Zeisehallen» beherbergen heute ein Medienzentrum mit unter anderem einem Programmkino und Restaurant.

The Theodor Zeise GmbH & Co for ship propellers was founded in 1868 in Altona a. d. Elbe (still independent at that time), and later became a world leader in some areas. In the shipbuilding crisis of 1979 it went bankrupt. The heritage-protected "Zeisehallen" now house a media center with, among other things, an art-house cinema and restaurant.

"Macro Mondays" theme "Needle and thread"

 

Thank you very much for your views, faves and comments!

I really appreciate it !

Spider passed through.

Humankind has not woven the web of life.

We are but one thread within in.

Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves.

All things are bound together. All things connect.

For 'Macro Mondays' theme of 'Complementary Colours'.

 

A very obvious subject for this weeks theme.

No trouble in finding the the reels of thread - too much choice really when I looked one of M's collections.

The 'orange' is one of Dewhurst's TRYLCO terylene threads and is described as 'Flame' coloured.

The 'blue-green' is a Coats' DRIMA polyester thread of no specified colour.

The needle - the bigest I could find cos I had to thread it, has obviously seen better days.

And I have put everything back where I think I found it - there will be trouble if I haven't. !!

Like thread through a needle, the westbound RIO GRANDE ZEPHYR passes through Tunnel 29 just east of Cliff siding, west of Denver, on June 30, 1979.

Along the scenic Oregon Coast lies two large offshore rocks, one of which contains a natural rock arch. On this autumn evening, the sunset aligned with the arch full of golden light over incoming ocean waves.

For Macro Mondays "Spiky" theme.

Happy Orange Perle Cotton Thread with needle for Hans.

As the RS71 approaches Ronkonkoma station, the engineer slows the train to a 5 MPH crawl as they pass the KO 2E signal. NYAR freights with plate F cars in the consist are restricted to 5 as they pass through the station, presumably due to the presence of platforms on both sides of the tracks.

For MM theme; "Needle and Thread".

 

(Sewing an Amish Bonnet, is such a relaxing pastime - ruffles and all.) HMM!
