When we moved, I no longer had this nice "behind the door" spot for the thread rack so I cut it in half and it now sits on the work table behind my embroidery machine. It originally held embroidery, serger and regular sewing thread as well as a few spray cans. In its new form, it only holds embroidery thread.
The new version can be seen here:

September 2011 ~ Updated yet again! We moved again and now I have a door to put it behind again. Here is a link to the current set up:

Rectangular table mat I made in 2004. It has over 100 palm frond leaves. The border was not part of the pattern; I added it to keep the leaf ends from turning up.
Can't buy grandmas old sterling silver thread snippers and a 100 plus year old quilt made by a great great grandmother. Coats and Clark's cotton thread still on the old wooden spools. All priceless.
Recently I swapped some fabrics for colorful threads and zippers. My husband had to add two additional rows. And now I've got even more wonderful rainbow:)
Needle and Thread

I actually finished this today, but the sun had gone down and I have a project for it, so I will try and share the completed project tomorrow! More blogged here.
The pattern is Toast BFFs and was created by the talented Amanda and her talented friend Ahsleigh and can be found here: The Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery.
"With fingers weary and worn,
With eyelids heavy and red,
A woman sat, in unwomanly rags,
Plying her needle and thread"

The surface of the rose is worked in various shades of green. The golden leaves are stitched over with beige thread, but I might need to redo that part, as I'm not entirely happy with it.
With a backdrop of quiet winter, the sign of spring blooms bring promises of life anew.

Yet another selfportrait for that same assignment, except this one is sewn with thread! Into the paper! It took forever and I do not know if it was worth it!
I know I'm early, but this idea popped into my head today and I had to go home and do it!
I love the fabrics Hilary sent and had a lot of fun with them!

Ever since I was a little girl I liked to sew. Even before I started school I was attempting to make doll's clothes on my mother's treadle sewing machine. When I left school I trained to be a Home Science teacher and I originally taught sewing and cooking and their related fields. I made most of the clothes for myself and the children. Later my hobby was 'applique' which I was almost as obsessed with as I now am with photography. I designed and made tops for women which I sold through a local boutique. These shiny threads are a remnant of those days. Now I only sew when I have to. No time really!
Doily designed by Kathryn White. It's in the booklet Annie's Hooked on Crochet! April 2008.
I used Cebelia crochet thread and a size 8 hook
Just an interesting shadow that I happened to see.
Added a texture layer of threaded paper to take the thread thing to a different level.
I am not 100 % sure of the ID on this insect but this is as close as I could find in my field guide.
Slight wind blowing when I took the shot so the image is a little soft.
