Photo A Day July 20--Eyes

Eyes--tried to take pictures of cat eyes, but they moved too fast. Looked for other eyes, even considered one of my old photos that was hilarious... but couldn't locate it.

Then, at quilting at my friend Sandy's, I spotted her clock. Ah! Calavera eyes! And yes, they really are two different sizes...

The life of a quilter's cat is a terribly hard one. More evidence over on Flickr...

Yarn, fabric, books... yes, I am addicted. My 12-step program includes knitting like a mad woman and making lots and lots of quilts.

A sign that I have truly arrived at a knitter's nirvana--knirvana?--Webs, in Northampton Mass. Always a must-visit when I go home!

Photo A Day July 15--Finger

This is the bobbin case for my sewing machine. It's got a "finger" just above the latch, which has an eye in it. Hard to see, but it's t here! Threading the bobbin thread through the eye of t he finger puts extra tension on the bobbin thread, a very useful technique for quilting with two weights of thread.

Sorry to get all technical here--if you'd like to see "my" finger, check out Flickr!

Photo A Day July 13--Open

This blossom couldn't be more open--I think its next stage is "fallen apart." I love this bush!
