So, how much of a sewing nerd am I? 
This is how much:  this photo is my "homepage" image on my BlackBerry and it lifts my spirits every time I see it. 
One of my thread drawers. 
Yep. Colored threads make me happy.

Shanghai prepares for Expo 2010 - The Big Picture - Boston.com


Amazing photos... a stunning display of muscular nationalism in the form of architecture both new and demolished.  The vestigial architect in me is simultaneously awed and dismayed.

And even though close up (see last photo in series) the British pavilion is exquisite in it's concept and execution, all I could think of when I saw the first two photos was "Wow.  The Brits have a giant hedgehog as their national image."

Here's some funny eye candy.

Steampunk and monkeys.  What's not to like??  Chet Phillips of Chet Art did an interview with Felt and Wire.

Obediah Krinklenut??  What a perfect name.

Good hunting!
