Eye of the Needle


Well I had no new pictures for today so yesterday I was wandering around the house camera in hand. I was looking for something, anything, to take a picture of. 

 Karen is sewing some soft toys for Christmas presents - I can't show you the finished articles as certain people may or may not be reading my blog.  So I decided to take some pictures of the thread.  
You know I took 50 shots until I got one I was happy with lol.
  
Anyway this is them.

 I've linked up today with

These are fantastic! I think it is so much fun to find something we consider ordinary and make it look like this through a camera lens. Great job, Ellie!

Sometimes it's really hard to find something to take a picture of, especially when the weather outside is not so inviting...! You made a wonderful choice Ellie! And maybe you can show the finished toys after Christmas!

I love the second photo -- the needle, the wood, the thimble, and the thread -- all lovely.

The thread is such a pretty color, but what I love is that thimble hiding over there in the corner. Reminds me of my grandmother who had such a lovely thimble collection. Have a great day!
