Been a while since I was on flickr!
This is the best photo I could get with the equipment at hand (a microscope and a point-and-shoot digital camera) but I think you get the idea. This is the silver-plated nylon conductive thread.
It's not actually gold, the lights just make it look that way.
I'm trying to keep up with the 365 project this year. I know that some days will be better than others. But so far I haven't missed a day. Friday I finished sewing the the purple bubbles and switched to green thread then I pretty much started feeling bad and spent the rest of the weekend on the couch. I did a little perusing of my antique sewing books and Miss P entertained me with some of her projects. I'm feeling much better now but still have a bit of a chest cough.
I hope to sew and watch Downton Abbey this morning.

This photo eventually used to illustrate another project for which I had no photos.
But you can totally hand-spin your sewing thread!
Juliette embellished this suit with two designs from Urban Threads, chopped up and arranged in software to embellish the entire front of the jacket. Love the curviness of the designs, the cut, and the piecing!

This embroidery thread belonged to my grandmother. It was passed on to my father, and then to me. I'm looking forward to making some great embroidery with it.
I saw Chinese thread books online and fell in love. I was doing a zentangle project…and decided to combine the two. Origami and I are not the best of friends…yet…so I had to make SO many boxes to get what I wanted…and ended up with 3 books. The boxes open in different ways and are stacked on top of each other to hold thread, pattern pieces, small scissors, buttons…etc. SO much fun!
I used to love coming down here for a look around. It was tangled, untroubled quiet and peaceful. It seemed time had stood still. Then inexplicably the tidy squad moved in and spoiled the restfulness, cut down the ivy, laid out the stones, bared the timeless tangles and it no longer held the mystery or even was the wildlife haven but when i venture a glance what is this? A plait of ivy stretching from tree to tree, as odd as the sticks laid across the bare earth? and the bones?

Love this mix of thread types - all in different shades of pink. Good for embroidery, crazy quilting.
