This woman has been working to color the silk threads used in her weaving by tying plastic strips around the threads like tie dye. During our baseline survey in Bati, Takeo Province - Cambodia.
While running errands in Dover, Delaware, I came across this event celebrating antique cycles. The competition involved riding the cycle about 100 feet, getting off and threading a needle, then getting on and riding back to the starting point, where a timer waited with stopwatch ticking.

I spent a few hours yesterday getting the loom threaded. Reed is threaded and now I can tie on and start weaving!

(Es). Encuadre de fotografía más amplia. Se ha recortado solamente la parte central del grupo de hilos de una futura tela de araña. Se ha modificado intensamente el contraste, la definición y las luces medias y bajas para dar el mayor realce posible al fino hilo que se ve mucho más débil en la toma original. No se han aplicado retoques que no sean generales al plano completo, no tratando así áreas aisladas como podría ser el propio hilo.
(En). Portion of a more wide photography. There has stood out only the central part of the group of threads of a future spiderweb. There have been modified intensely the contrast, the definition and the medium and low lights to give the major possible embossment to the thin thread that meets much weaker in the original capture. There have not been applied retouches that are not general to the complete plane, not treating areas like that isolated since it might be the own thread.

Hope my partner likes it :)
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?
I am hopeless at wasp I.D. but I am guessing this is a Thread-waisted Wasp (Family Sphecidae). Any I.D. help much appreciated! [Lower Blue Mountains, NSW].
EDIT: Thanks to Maurice for identifying this as a Hatchet Wasp (Evaniidae).
The thread holder that did not work for transporting thread (lid that won't stay on) is great for a table-top organizer for my non-tradional threads.
We are passionate about thread. Thread has become a specialized instrument for creativity and stitch express. It can play a supporting, technical role or be the star of the show. Check out the chart on page 9 of the book Threads – The Basics and Beyond.

The very bottom is a cherry blossom and leaf combination, making it 'hazakura.'
This is a simple sewing spool rack which I made for the wife after her complaining that she has to 'paw' through a plastic box of loose spools to find the one she needs. This rack will hold 42 spools of thread, plus a small shelf on the bottom where she can place some of her bobbins, etc.
