All from Saucylouise. She's in Japan, I think (APO address) so stuff takes a couple of weeks to arrive. It's not a problem at all, but just putting it out there for swap people.
The thread is Olympus Emmy Grande and it is freaking gorgeous. I would like a ton.
The book on the left is Small and Easy Crochet Patterns by Kazuko Ryokai (ISBN9784413009683). It's adorable, but there's not a heck of a lot to it.
The other one, though- whoah. Crochet Patterns Book Motifs Edgings 300 (ISBN9784529042338) is amazing. The motifs are gorgeous. It's just chart after chart after chart after chart. The motifs are also shown connected together with charts given for the connections. I love this book and will get more like this one.
Thick threads hanging from the frayed edge of upholstery fabrics in the workshop.
A big thank you to Sam from St Morris Upholsterers who let me wander freely around his workshop and shop taking these photos. See also their Facebook page St Morris Klassik.
Got a change to visit one factory last night and saw these beautiful thread line up .these are natural silk threads
Dainty & delicate thread-like petals on these wild flowers really make them special!
They're all of 1/2" in size, with an even tinier visitor! Actually I didn't notice a second
visitor until now. Can you find it?
Now on facebook too!!! XD
Still playing with the convertible objects, this time I discovered that my rainbow hearts afghan can be used as a curtain too!!! Even if it's made of 100% wool (except the light green one which I had to complete with cotton sewing thread) it's laceweight. Looks spectacular in front of the window and makes gorgeous shadows inside! EX3

RogueOlympics has started again, with the first prompt being "As Sweet as Sugar". Also an entry for the Sweet Scenes category of the Adorabuild contest on Bricknerd. I did not have any ideas early in the week, and then didn't have much time when the concept did come. Still had fun assembling this fantasy portrayal of the joy a parent experiences having fun with their kids. 89 parts were used.
Extra images on Brickbuilt.
An image I took for a challenge "Inanimate Macro". I was pretty pleased with the final result, considering I don't have an actual macro lens.
The EXIF data is somewhat deceiving, as there was a reversed 50mm 1.8 in front of the mounted lens. This gives the macro ability and only provides a very shallow DOF. I might try this one again one day with focus stacking to get a better DOF.

A glass ampul containing virgin silk; an extremely fine ophthalmic suture material consisting of two to seven natural silk filaments bonded together by sericin, a natural adhesive. This ampul is dated 28-01-1964. The silk was held in the ampul to protect it from air and contaminants. To get to the silk, you had to snap of the neck of the ampul.
Postman just delivered a package with THREAD festival brochures in it. And my picture of a pincushion is featured on it! Yay!

entwined
[Threads of delicate merino wool and silk wrapped steel in vintage gold, entwined to form patterns of texture, light and transparency.
Threads interconnecting as unstructured stitches come together to create a soft metallic wrap.
Threads pulled through loops in a hazy, simplistic ritual that has soothed and calmed the mind, body and soul.

Bored in Albuquerque, NM, while on a business trip, I found this sewing kit in my hotel room...
A sewing needle is a long slender tool with a pointed tip. The first needles were made of bone or wood; modern ones are manufactured from high carbon steel wire, nickel- or gold plated for corrosion resistance. The highest quality embroidery needles are made of platinum. Traditionally, needles have been kept in needle books or needle cases which have become an object of adornment.
A needle for hand sewing has a hole, called the eye, at the non-pointed end to carry thread or cord through the fabric after the pointed end pierces it. Hand sewing needles have different names depending on their purpose.
Needle size is denoted by a number on the packet. The convention for sizing is that the length and thickness of a needle increases as the size number decreases. For example, a size 1 needle will be thicker and longer, while a size 10 will be shorter and finer.

Cotton crochet thread #10 was used.
They can be used as coasters, candle doilies or under a small vase or trinket.
All my threads, sorted into a rainbow. Hurrah!

I'm taking a fabulous class which involves a lot of hand stitching and a wide variety of threads. Some people collect different threads like others collect fabric! The different displays of everyone's threads was beautiful for sure. For this shot, my camera was set at f1/8 and I focused on one spool of Perle Cotton, letting the others blend and meld together. cy365 335/365
I needed some darker red thread to finish this little project. Since it's already dark, photos will have to wait until tomorrow. These reds feel so Christmas-y to me! Even thought this project isn't at all Christmas! :)
Here are 9 more photos from our fall 2017 camping trip.
These all have a ghost town feeling, and later I will post photos of the quirky art here at Tuscarora, Nevada.
Concrete foundations on the flat below Tuscarora must have once held ore processing equipment secured on these rusty bolts. It looks like the threads didn't survive the machinery removal.

My needle-working skills are minimal but just up to making a minor repair to this pair of trousers. I can see close-to very well but the needle threader helps to get the cotton through the eye of the needle.
The two carnations in the back are vintage and the one in the front is another project I've started but haven't quite finished! I found a similar pattern to the original ones in a vintage booklet so made the melon orange one in the front. My version is not as fluttery as the original, I'm not sure exactly how it's constructed without taking it apart. The instructions I've found is a pretty simple pattern and seems to help if you have variegated thread. I found some on ebay perfect for the flower size. I think it may be a modern day size 30 thread.
