Bike shop tried to tap a thread into some cut down forks to fix my bike, kinda stuffed it up. Just put this image here so I can post it on a forum.

I adore my little red riding hood cape. I had a beautiful bit of vintage fabric which I used to face the front and line the hood with. I made it in a class at Thread Den.

From a project now appearing on the Kreinik website, I used Kreinik Iron-on metallic threads on a styrofoam egg. www.kreinik.com/shops/Iron-on-Easter-Egg.html
I had my eyebrows threaded today. I'm trying to decide what's better, waxing or threading. I have such sensitive skin that waxing is not the way for me to go but threading hurt more than I thought it would. With threading the results are supposed to last longer and the hair regrowth is supposed to be finer.
of note -- I have 125 heddles on each shaft, but this project only uses 25 heddles on each shaft AND it uses the full width of the loom. So I had to thread every 5th heddle on each shaft to spread the heddles more or less evenly throughout the shaft (sometimes I threaded every 6th or every 3rd, it just depended on what I grabbed).

Continuing to use items plucked from storage as I organize my attic as subjects for photography.
Today it's small, Japanese spools of metalic thread lying upon a length of Tsumugi silk.
Note: You might wonder "why' I have such items. The answer is that they are just really cool, old, handmade things that no longer have a place in our fast paced world....but were once a common day item in the textile industry before everything shifted to plastics. They are very organic in that way....

A quick warm up at my sewing machine this morning...one continuous line contour thread and watercolors. 5 min. exercise.
The thread is Baroque, Ecru, size 10. Crocheted with a Boye size 6 hook.
I made this some time ago and don't remember where the pattern came from; at a guess, it's an old issue of Magic Crochet magazine.

Title: Thread Doodles
Artist: Cara Gulati of Doodle Press in California, www.doodlepress.com
Size: 8 1/4" x 10"
Materials:
- cotton fabrics
- Kreinik Filament 095
- Kreinik 1/16" Ribbon: 5525, 5505, 5540
Comments: I designed a block with curved seams, and laid the pieces on top of each other and quilted it with a Blending Filament 095. This is one of my favorite threads because it adds color without taking over. Then I used the block design in Corel Draw to create quilting pattern. Then I used the 1/16th inch Gourmet ribbons in red, yellow and purple to bobbin quilt the design. I didn’t put the ribbon into the tension mechanism because I like the way it lumps up and creates such nice texture.
