My mom is into cross stitching and she's about to start a new project. I was tinkering with my cam when I saw her threads and saw how colorful they are and how pretty it would look on photo. So here..

Giant spools of thread purchased for fifty cents each. I think I'll use the bright green on my table cloth skirt. Or maybe that teal color.

A blend of my own photos and photos from my favourites... all of these make me want to run upstairs and start sewing!

This had to be one of the most beautiful insects I had ever seen. I didn't even realise this type of insect existed (thanks to tr33lo for the indentification of it!).
In fact it was so beautiful I spent 15 mins crawling around on the hard, rocky Sierra Nevada ground trying to get a decent shot of it. It was very camera shy, and my knees hurt quite a bit afterwards!
My grandmother packed so many spools of thread into the sewing table and organizer. I don't know what to do with it all.
This thing is awesome. It's an automatic needle threader from Italy. I love the Italian patent number on the bottom of it. I still haven't figured out how it works though. I flunked the sewing part of Home Ec in high school.
In the northern part of the city of Kolkata one can see many such small factories which are equipped with loads of machineries that create sheets of cotton from the yarn of white cotton thread. Once the sheet is made it is sent to the various clothing industries to be made into the desired product.

Instead of using nails, I decided to install brass inserts used for carbon arrows. These brass inserts allow me to thread in various feet for proper footing. I have rubber feet, spikes, and my favorites which are the small game “Hammer Heads” shown in the picture. These grab and hold firm on most surfaces I encounter.
Joann's has thread 50% off right now. So we had to make a trip today as I am o-u-t, out.
So I have this issue with always leaving my camera at home at the most opportune moments. Not today, nothing exciting happened today. No, this happened to me a few days ago when we turned down our little road and saw one of the neighbor's cows delivering her calf. I didn't even notice that she was pregnant. But it was hard to miss when she was on the ground rolling around and then...my god, is it? Yes, yes it is. Hooves coming out of her...well, you get the idea. I've never seen a farm animal born before. So we watched for a second and then headed on our way. A few hours later I decided to head in to the bookstore (without my camera, stupid me) and the baby was born and laying on the ground with mama watching over. The sweetest thing. They were still out when we got back, but it was dark out. I haven't seen baby or mama since. They must be in one of the other pastures, because none of the cows have been out. I'm sure we'll be seeing that cute baby soon.
Alright, back to my shopping trip...I got some super adorable fabric at Joann's (their own label) and some templates for future quilts (diamonds and dresdon). But, I have other projects to get to first. Pooh.
This image represents what I know but don't think of enough. That is: if a photo doesn't work in color— try converting it to grayscale.
When you frame the Transamerica pyramid building in the upper window of the Golden Gate's North tower you have "threaded the needle". Sitting at home in Minnesota I had long admired this shot by others on Flickr and it was a goal of mine to create it for myself. The color version of this is horrid. Converted to B&W I can locally boot the contrast on the Transamerica building and get it to look like a pyramid. In color it just looks like... Well, take my word for it; it doesn't look good. It's starting to grow on me though. If I don't get a decent color version I can still go home with my head up.
