A family meal with my in-laws ... and very nice it was too.
My mother-in-law can probably be described as being an artistic eccentric, and these are the beads that adorn the conservatory doors ... functional in the summer for keeping insects out, and decorative in winter.

This image is a little blurry. Wasps tend to be in constant motion so it is hard to get a clear shot. I was surprised to learn this was a thread waisted wasp. The abdomen is not as long as some but it does have a very thin waist. I will look for this wasp again next year and try to get a clearer image.
Identification
Thread waisted wasps are distinguished by their long abdomen and stalked (petiolate), giving the body a "thread-waisted" appearance; middle tibiae with two apical spurs; body may be all black (sometimes tinged with metallic blue or green), black and red, yellow and black, or white and black.
Most species nest in the ground, usually in areas that have sparse or no vegetation; some species construct aerial nests composed of mud; a few species nest in hollow plant stems or abandoned bee burrows in logs.
Food
Larvae feed on the paralyzed bodies of a variety of arthropods (the host varies according to wasp species) provided to them by adult wasps; common hosts include spiders, grasshoppers, and caterpillars.
Adults feed on nectar from flowers and extrafloral nectaries, honeydew, and body fluids of their prey.

Children from 2½ to 6 years love repetition. Threading beads on a cord and taking them off again is always a pleasant occupation which will hold the interest of the child for long periods.
Bead threading is a favourite pastime with young children. The 24 big wooden beads have large holes, and there is a two-inch, stiff tag on each end of the threading lace.
Age : 2½ to 6 years

This basket of thread once sat in my mom's sewing room, but she deicided that she could no longer keep it. Before it got tossed in a dumpster, I had to take a photo of it.
