Today I bought new cotton threads and they're so cute :3 The colours are really earthy!
I can't wait to start working on them!! Dunno... maybe I can make some YoSD/LTF cardigans? (+ a hat will make a nice cobination..).
Anyway Sonomi looks so cute here..!! XD ❤
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!
In honor of Thread the Needle Day, why not make this sweet little spool to help thread your sewing needle?
I made a jig which allows me to cut threads on a wooden box and this was the first attempt at trying it out. The box was turned from cocobolo for the body, african blackwood for the base and briar burl for the lid.

Drosera filiformis is one of the many carnivorous plants that occur in the southeastern US. This is a close-up of one of the filamentous leaves that has glandular trichomes that secrete a sticky solution that acts as an insect trap. I used backlighting from the sun to get the starburst effect for the sticky blobs.

My superstar work colleague Pav threaded my eyebrows for me today. It took 2 minutes and looks brilliant! She learnt how to do it from a relative who lived in India. It hurt... but it was worth it :)
For the Wall of Thread, I considered pegboard, and then at the craft store got SCHOOLED by a longtime crafter. "Don't ruin your walls, honey. Try Cardboard," he croaked. So I shopped, and there it was: Foamcore Board. BRILLIANT! Pictured is one length of foam board (20X30inches, 1/4inch thick, bronze, $1.29 a sheet!). It's attached to the wall easy peasy with a quilter's straight pin (they're xtra long) every 6 inches. Pins for holding threads are in 2inch increments -- this section will hold 24 skeins wide (depending on how close set pins are) and 3 down. This is lightweight (and in other thicknesses if you use funky fiber or heavy yarn), comes in many colors, and is totally modular -- perfect! These babies can even go into a portfolio and, voila, when I teach I'm completely mobile! BAM!
I made this using a white silk yarn and some dmc cotton perle thread... it was an easy pattern but a lot of little pieces until it came together :o)
