The thread ran this way and that way. it weaved up and down. At the end of this yarn it was caught in the eye of the needle and could not escape until it was sewn up.
The is a 2.5" thread bear crocheted from size #16 Finca perle cotton. His collar is also crocheted from the same size perle cotton and embellished with 3mm Swarovski crystals. He is fully jointed, has black onyx bead eyes and an embroidered nose. He is stuffed with polyester fiberfill weighted with steel shavings for a heavy-in-your-hand feel.

I love these old threads, especially when in such pristine condition. This is actually from a separate lot (and in a different shade) from the other orange Bear threads I put on my Flickr photostream a year or so back. What are the chances of turning up two such lots?

I took this for an assignment at uni.
For anyone interested, this tool used for cutting a 'thread' on a metal rod so that a nut can be screwed on.
This is a Thread Waisted Wasp, so named because of its very thin abdomen. Individuals in this species live by themselves, not in colonies. They feed on spiders and insects, pinching their necks with their strong jaws, and stinging them, which causes paralysis.
The victim's body is then placed in a mud cell and the wasp lays an egg upon it. The hatching baby wasps then feed upon this store. The clip was shot beside a waterfall, which accounts for the sound and the foam passing by in the background. If you click on the four-little-arrows full-screen icon in the bottom right corner of the window you will see the wasp much better!

This collection of threads is inspired by Bonnie & Camille's "Vintage Modern" Collection. I love their trademark aqua/red/grey combo teamed with the girly florals and gorgeous print coordinates. As soon as this was released I snapped up a layer cake, and I'm so tempted to sign up to The Fat Quarter Shop's 2012 Designer Mystery BOM because it's using "Vintage Modern" - so in love!

Zwei Charaktere, ein Schauplatz, sechzig Minuten. In dem an einen amerikanischen Einakter angelehntem Format "Thread Bear" überzeugten Kevin Gillese und Arlen Konopaki vom kanadischen Ensemble Rapid Fire aus Edmonton mit feinen Tönen und hoher Schauspielkunst. Format und Darsteller faszinierten das Publikum bis zur letzten Minute - trotz vorgerückter Stunde am Freitag, dem 23.10.2009 im Cairo und beschloss den zweiten Festivalabend.
Happy New Day. I'm writing here from our growing village in the mountains of Chirripo (Costa Rica)
I decided that the early I can start writing the better as I usually have ideas fresh from sleep still percolating in my consciousness. Plus I'm more likely to actually write something the earlier I do it.
So this morning I woke up with more clarity around how feeling is really at the core of everything we do and everything we communicate. It is the WHY for most every action. And once we know this we can optimize for it.
For example, lately I've been eating a little too much food and mixing my foods.. I enjoy the feeling of eating during the process, but then sometimes for hours afterwards I will feel bad. But until I actually optimize for feeling I can stay focused in the short term and continually eating even though the way I've been eating hasn't been helping me to feel consistently GOOD.
PRESENT FULFILLMENT VS LONG TERM PREPARATION
So here we already see the classic struggle between what feels good in the present and what feels good over the longer term. In my research it appears that our future and present selves are two characters entirely.
PRESENT SELF VS FUTURE SELF
The present self is a little more carefree and the future self, more conscious about how present actions will affect it. If you only focus on the future self, you greatly limit your ability to enjoy the now, and if you only focus on the now, you effect the future self a little recklessly.
