After almost 3 months of work, with the new 65-foot tall poles put up, then have their two sets of crossarms attached and the old electrical conductors or power lines lifted up from the original 1960s poles up onto the top crossarms and insulators... the new and shiny aluminum cables are finally being threaded through the sets of pulleys that are temporarily placed on the second set of crossarms.
The new set of three-phase electrical power lines will still need to be placed and tied onto the new pin insulators... then after all that, these new lines as well as the newly installed transformer at Entergy of Mississippi's North Brookhaven Substation will be put into service, distributing electrical power to the large industries in the area.
This is a part of Entergy of Mississippi's project to replace the old wooden poles on this line with taller ones as well as installing a second set of three-phase electrical power lines or a second circuit as the crew calls it, delivering more electrical power to the ever growing Rex Lumber Company Mill which was drawing way more power than the current grid could handle and with a newer transformer installed over at the nearby Brookhaven Substation, the Rex Lumber Company Mill can operate more efficiently without putting too much strain on the rest of the system.
This project is being done by a subcontractor called Shelton Energy Solutions... a Limited Liability Company (LLC) that is based in Alexandria, Louisiana.
I needed a photo of "texture" for my Psych of Visual Communications HW this week. I ended up taking this shot of the ends of my scarves at around 3:30 in the morning.
Picked up this lot of vintage threads and notions at an estate sale today. The threads are the prettiest but there's a whole box of notions in the silver box. Paid $3 at an estate sale.
My mother made me one of these about 40 years ago as a Christmas gift. I would still have it if not for the 1979 tornado in Wichita Falls, TX that decided someone in Kansas could use it more than me...grin So I made this one yesterday....
I have three fine threads used together as one in the warp and the weft of this project. 2 of the three warp threads in each dent is handspun. A fine commercially spun boucle is the third.
The weft has two threads of commercially spun fine weavng wool combined with one of the boucle.
Buttons on collages don't look finished to me unless they have thread on them. So I usually thread mine before I stick them down.

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.
We make a small stitch on the opposite side of the button and then bury the thread. details on next photo ;)
In this photo it shows the box in the open state. I really like the way this works and am excited to make more boxes.
thrift store score. 30 little balls of DMC perle for $2. Some are used, obviously, but some are still pretty complete! I'm calling it a success.
This is a table topper that I crocheted from a freebie Coats pattern using DMC Traditions thread. I'm quite pleased in how it turned out even if I'm not pleased with how the pattern was written.
If life is a thread, than we are given the choice to accept it as it comes, or to make our own home-spun thread for it. I know what I'd choose! / Als het leven 'n draad is, dan hebben we de keus het te accepteren zoals afgeleverd, of integendeel ons draadje zelf te spinnen. Ik weet wel wat mijn keus is!
