When I was taking out the garbage this afternoon, I noticed a BIG bag filled with thread next to the chute! Of course I had to take it with me! It was full of thread. Well over 100 spools. Mostly Coats & Clarks, and mostly on plastic spools so it can't be too old. I usually buy Gutterman, but I'm not about to turn away free thread!

The threads i use to make friendship bracelets.

Went to the fabric store the other day and found a couple of photo ops.

Practice the art of simplicity today by making an interesting photo from a minimalist perspective - Daily Shoot #ds64.

 

What potential does this thread hold in the hands of a skilled seamstress? This thread is from my Grandmother's sewing basket.

DMC variegated Perle 5 thread gives a lovely pearlised effect.

A mating pair of thread-waisted wasps (Eremnophila aureonotata) visits a Wingstem flower. The adults of this species feed on flower nectar, but the larvae live in a burrow dug out by the female and feed on a big caterpillar that she brings for them and places in the burrow.

Threads from a few things I've been working on today.

House of Threads in Copperhill, Tennessee

Practice run on this thread catcher pattern. Holy Moly the pattern has 20 pieces in a tiny 4 1/2 dresdan. I'm going to change that on the next one. Maybe 6 or 8 petals!! Photostream has close up of top. There is also a tab in the bag to hold small scissors.

For ODC-mended. Needle, thread, measuring tape....if I only knew how to sew.

In India a Festival called Rakhi is celebrated every year in August. This day in general sisters tie a sacred thread on their brothers' wrist and brothers vow to protect them from all troubles. In this case though, my little daughter got a thread from her granny...

This piece by Mark Garry was seen at Tulca Festival Gallery, Galway. Made from wood, beads and thread, it's simplicity intrigued me.

don´t loose the path

less is more

I'm off work today. Feeling poorly, so we need lots of sympathy flowing poor deebee's way. I didn't post last week at all - please forgive me! I've dug some old shots out for this week. This one is for Shiny Sunday (I know a day late, but remember I am poorly at the moment!). I took this last year for a brochure I was doing for an embroidery company. We didn't use it but I reckoned it was multi coloured and shiny. So this is my Shiny Sunday pic.

American Girl Scale

 

I found the scissors and tiny wooden spools at Hobby Lobby. I added the thread. I rolled some yarn for the yarn balls and poured real tea into her cup. The scissors so not open and are flat on the back. They came in a bag of sewing themed notions.

 

I found this tea set on the Queen's Treasures website. They carry really nice AG stuff that is usually less expensive than American Girl.

 

I came across a neat tutorial for making an AG sewing machine:

I love details and people's hobbies can be pretty.

We are tied with different threads of time. we cross over and certainly go parallel as destined.

 

I am a fan of Sci-Fi movies and 've watched the movie (Source Code) in recent time. and seeing the photograph this though was aroused! LOL

 

Cox's Bazaar, 2011

I have soo many crazy creative ideas but thanks to the people I live them I can only execute them if Im alone or im my room. So I glitter my face and shoulders, tied thread around my head, did my makeup :) got to love purple mascara, and stole Geoffs lamp lol.

 

Iv been feeling odd. I want to do more but Im not exactly sure just how to do it. Im bored of where I am right now in my life, time for some change and excitement lol.

At an auction I found a big bag full of colour coordinated sewing threads. Of course, I had to get them because of the wonderful colour combos!

workbox filled with cream threads, braids etc for dimensional stitchery.

putting my threads away properly

Oil Cloth thread Basket - approx. 2"T x 9 1/2" W x 2 1/2" D

Oil cloth exterior & interior purchased from CityCraft www.citycraftonline.com/

My thread is stored by type in plastic shoe boxes on a shelf inside a cabinet. This "basket" is the perfect size to sort my threads by color within each shoe box (ie this one holds all my red/pink polyester threads).

Used this tutorial - ayumills.blogspot.com/2011/10/12-gifts-of-christmas-blog-... but didn't add any batting or interfacing - the two layers of oil cloth provided enough rigidity for this purpose.

Such a cute, quick, easy & practical project.
