Midge is finishing up her curtain by pressing it. It is ready to hang in her new kitchen!
Armoire, chair, garbage can, sewing form, brown basket: modern Barbie repainted. I added real cork to the inside doors and used shortened pins as tacks. I used wood for the work bench. I bought this armoire used and the little shelf was missing. I was disappointed it was missing when I got it, but I actually like the wood better. It breaks up all of the white.
Sewing Machine on top: vintage Galoob
Sewing Machine, Basket, supplies in armoire: Re-ment
Ironing Board & Iron: Gloria repainted. It came with the washer and dryer set. I made a new ironing board cover in a nice cotton. It is a great set and I recommend getting it and repainting it. Cannot wait to show you Barbie & Midge's laundry room :)
TV: vintage Barbie
Mug: Re-ment
Patterns, Cutting Board, Photos: printed on my home printer
This is just a temporary diorama. This floor and the walls will be for Barbie's bedroom. I still have to add molding and wall art. I have to find a permanent place to store Midge's sewing nook. It may end up being a corner in Midge's bedroom. That is just a sparkle in my mind right now. Such fun things to imagine!
I've gotten into the habit of bringing along some light painting stuff when I'm out about early or late. In this case I was waiting for something that never happened, I did a few laps up and down and got this one I was happy with.
The NC Coastal Land Trust hosted its Flytrap Frolic in the Stanley Rehdar Carnivorous Plant garden. This is the first time I have seen the Thread Leaf Sundew (Drosera filiformis Raf.) in the garden. This species is supposed to be expatriated from New Hanover County (plants.usda.gov/core/profile?symbol=DRFI), so it was a special treat to see it. Perhaps it was planted from a cultivar? Regardless, its a beautiful plant.
These appear to be listed as "Significantly Rare" in North Carolina (www.ncwildflower.org/plant_galleries/carnivorous).

The 2 yellow ones are vintage crocheted thread holders approx 3". They were used to hold darning thread and has a felt circle lining the inside lid to hold your needles. I crocheted the red one making it a little bigger to hold tatting threads for taking along with me to crochet on the go.
Shine bright like a demon.
I often put a lot of efforts on my avatars during the weekend or when I'm doing something fancy so since I was invited to an event on a sim with those blue and golden lights, I wanted to fit in. I therefore went for a crazy wicked double style. Double cause you can notice that I removed my crown and my black face tat at some point. I added special effects to it cause I wanted to give the impression of spitting fireflies. Well that was not too bad in the end ! Sometimes I get inspired and I end up looking like a crazy wicked monsta. A monsta but always a beautiful and creative one ! Well, beautiful in its ugliness ;-).

It is not unusual to find dedicated rooms within hospitals, asylums or other sanitary facilities. This time I stumbled upon a textile workshop. Threading machines, spools and fabric were still all over the place and this particular spool stood near the window, bathing in sunlight, as if it was trying to get a glance of the outer world while waiting for its azure prince to come to its rescue.
- Treatment: Pre-treatment in camera raw, curves, some constrast and color layers, color and texture overlays.

Yesterday my wife found this insect on our deck coffee table. I initially identified it as a Northern Walking Stick Nymph but when I look at my macro photo noticed that some aspects of the insects; body were off. First, it had a true bug head and piecing mouthparts, like an assassin bug. Second its' thorax was shaped different.
I then decided to compare it to a Water Scorpion. However it didn't have a breathing tube and the antenna were way too long and thin. I was stumped but then remembered there was an Assassin Bug that was really delicate looking. I did some searching and identified it to sub-family, the thread-legged bug (I can't find a way to I.D. it to species).
It isn't surprising I've never seen this insect before. Thanks to my wife's sharp eyes and the bug right on our coffee table, I may never have seen it..

Inspired by the ancient Chinese legend of the red thread "when children are born, invisible red threads connect them to the ones whom they are fated to be with. Over the years of their lives they come closer and eventually find each other, overcoming the distance between, and cultural and social divides. A disk may be connected to another, as a “couple”, and each pair is made from a single thread. Every coil is pierced in the center by a sewing needle."

In the last few weeks I have spent so many days and hours immersed in children's portraits and group shots, candid expose shots of life within a classroom, band rehearsals for the school play, musicians playing, children performing and capturing it all for various different people and reasons, that it was nice to take those two lens' off the camera and pop the macro lens on and take simple, unplanned, shots of some threads left over from sewing lying beside me on the table as images downloaded onto the computer.
For me, today, it's nice to just look at something simple, not worry about exactly how in focus - or out of focus - a shot is and whether I've got the hair just right for that chid, or the essence of caterpillars walking across a stage.
Today simple and stark is just what I need.
Today, unprocessed is what I need. Straight out of camera.
