Thread-waisted Wasp (Ammophila procera) - Scherman-Hoffman Wildlife Sanctuary, New Jersey
These guys are part of the digger wasp family, and use those long legs to hold their prey (until immobilized by their sting), and then drag it back to their underground lair where the female will lay her eggs on it for her little digger grubs to eat. The adults feed mainly on nectar, with butterfly weed being one of their favorites where they might even find a tasty caterpillar for the kids.
Who let all these guys sit together? Michael throws in his two cents to Chad, David and Tim (the last two tried to dress like they were from New York to clash with our rustic retreat setting).
I saw Chinese thread books online and fell in love. I was doing a zentangle project…and decided to combine the two. Origami and I are not the best of friends…yet…so I had to make SO many boxes to get what I wanted…and ended up with 3 books. The boxes open in different ways and are stacked on top of each other to hold thread, pattern pieces, small scissors, buttons…etc. SO much fun!
On Thanksgiving my Aunt Sheila gave me yarn, pattern books, knitting needles etc. It had all belonged to her Mother, my Grandmother, Elizabeth Maryella (Crago) Rugg. She passed away in 1987.
One of the things she gave me was a ball of size 30 crochet thread with a doily and hook still attached to it. Grandma had started this doily. So I was able to finish the doily with the thread and hook that my Grandma used to start it! This is so exciting to me! I looked through the pattern books that she gave me to see if I could find the pattern Grandma was using but I couldn’t. Grandma’s last round was about 1/2 finished. So, I finished that and improvised the last three rounds.
I’m really happy with the way it turned out. The finished doily will go back to Aunt Sheila for her family room. I hope she likes it as much as I do.

This observation deck is somewhere in Madison. Today, it was open to the public.
As for where it is, check out the "Where am I?" thread in the Madison group.
It's been identified in the thread, and it's on the map now.
This is also the next shot in my 365 project.

I went to buy thread for a project and forgot the fabric at home. Ack! They had a bout 5 different purples and about 10 different blues. Not a bad match. Innocent Crush must be burned into my memory. Haha.
Spider I saw this morning hanging by a thread, almost as if he/she was abseiling!
Thread is just about visible!

A thread-waisted wasp, Ammophila nigricans, seeking flower nectar. Baker Wetlands, Lawrence, Kansas, USA, August 18, 2021.
For my SIL for Christmas 2009, a felted tote and companion bag -- the tab-top tote from Bev Galeskas' Felted Knits.
Photo here is BEFORE felting, Altoid tin added to give size perspective, especially relative to the post-felted tote.
Companion bag is a tube, seamed at the bottom, with a short handle which is knit and felted separately and then threaded through one of the tabs on the tote to provide an easily accessible place for cellphone, keys, etc to lessen the necessity of rummaging through the bag.
Yarn is a loosely spun single-ply worsted weight in two colors which I inherited from a "former-knitter" acquaintance.
When this bag emerged from the washer after felting, Marie and I both gushed, "I want" -- guess there's another of these in my future.

I was handed this vintage thread by a friend of a friend. It comes with some cross stitch rose patterns, with a few lines of text in German. I'd guess that it dates from the 60s, maybe 70s?
I inserted one plastic page from the DMC thread bow system in the binder. This holds all the skeins for my current project.

This photo is from an art exhibit during a conference, ACM Creativity & Cognition 2024, held in Bridgeport Art Center, Chicago. This kinetic art work, Threading Space, was developed base on AxLab's research in building and controlling mobile robot devices on everyday surfaces, but to make them control stretching threads to explore how reconfigurable physical threads could transform our future space and cognition.
While the original work of Threading Space [1], exhibited in Ars Electronica Festival, was developed to deploy the robots on floor and ceiling surfaces for full-room scale experiences, the exhibit at C&C [2] created a miniature version of this, but making the whole structure levitated in the mid-air (by placing on a transparent acrylic), which revealed a new aesthetic expression to the technology, and art work.
