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.
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
Cover of 'Make Do and Mend', reproductions of official Second World War instruction leaflets, published by Michael O'Mara Books, 2007. On top: a Coats' emergency war spool; a packet of austerity snaps. The packaging of both of these was pared down to be more economical with materials, but manufacturers were frequently at pains to point out that the quality of the product itself remained of pre-war quality.

Autumn aster flowers are magnets for wasps like this Ammophila sp because so few other flowers are blooming. Weston Bend State Park, Missouri, USA, October 9, 2021.

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.

Silver Thread is easily one of the most unique looking falls I have encountered. It's a beautiful two-tiered 80' spill, which over the past 10,000 years has cut its way through vertical cracks in the shale that upon appearance, looks man made. After reading some material on the nps.gov website, I found that the only sculptor here was nature. Amazing.
Of course, you can't see that here :-) This was my take on the falls. I love panning and zooming and I thought this skinny waterfall would fit the bill nicely. It's my art dammit!
The image below in the comments is a 'regular' shot of the falls, but the perspective doesn't show too well the wonderfully natural sculpted walls of the chute. I was working on a better composition by wading in the pool at the bottom of the falls. That was....uh....after I slipped through the railings of the fence that keeps you on the trail, and out of the falls. I could feel the eyes burning a hole in my back. I nonchalantly tossed a glance over my shoulder knowing damn well I was busted. Sure enough, both hands on hips...head cocked...big 'ole Ranger hat on...'Nuff said :-)
HENRY POOLE IS HERE
I loved this movie.
After sending this off for a friend to see, they immediately pointed out The Blessed Mother. Yes folks, there really is a Virgin in the Pennsylvania Mountains! I knew there just had to be. So now, I'm expecting long lines of people.....My life is about to change...isn't it exciting?!

See this photo for a full explanation of needle-made lace.
This photo demonstrates the final stage of the process, detaching the piece from its backing. This piece was made using metallic thread which is very finicky, so I wasn't able to get the outline coverings as clean as I'd have liked.
These are hand crocheted potholders, some early and some recent, but all beautiful. I began to collect them when I found one for $2 at an antique store/flea market. I had already found a hotpad with soda pop tops crocheted in and I thought they went together. Having an inexpensive item to look for means I get to go to antique malls and look around. It's such fun.
Odessa - Oekraïne - Ukraine
Poster on the wall of the museum of the catacomb.
Odessa (Oekraïens: Одеса, [oˈdɛsɑ], Russisch: Одесса, [ɐˈdʲesːə]; Jiddisch: אדעס, Ades; Grieks: Οδησσός) is een havenstad in Oekraïne aan de Zwarte Zee. Het inwoneraantal bedraagt ongeveer 1,1 miljoen. Odessa ligt op de heuvels rondom een kleine haven, en is de op vier na grootste stad in Oekraïne. Het is de grootste stad aan de Zwarte Zee.
In 1914 was Odessa, met 600.000 inwoners, de vierde stad van het Russische Rijk, na Sint-Petersburg, Moskou en Warschau. De stad had een zeer grote Joodse gemeenschap, van 180.000 zielen. De bekende Russisch-joodse schrijver Isaak Babel was geboren en groeide op in Odessa.
In de Tweede Wereldoorlog leed Odessa erg onder de aanvallen van de nazis (behalve Duitse vooral Roemeense eenheden). De gevechten duurden van augustus tot oktober 1941. Ook daarna bleven partizanen actief in de catacomben. Odessa kreeg in 1945 de eretitel Heldenstad van de Sovjet-Unie.
