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?!

I appreciate the offers but please ***NO INVITES OR GROUP ICONS***
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.

My grandmother died over 30 years ago, and I inherited an old pine dresser that held her sewing supplies. I'm afraid to unspool these, the threads might fall apart.
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.
More of my hand dyed thread, this time to approximate a "Leafy" green. Fresh picked leaves included in the photo for comparison.
