Showing this project as well because you allow videos :)
I sewed this tablecloth bodice and linen bedsheet skirt a couple of weeks ago. It took longer than expected due to the hand sewn eyelets. But here it is finished :)
The pattern for the bodice is the same as the green one I posted yesterday.

Blue bodice and linen skirt :)
This bodice took a bit of extra time since I opted for hand sewn eyelets. The skirt was a trial run for my future expensive linen project. It's made from bed sheets that my mother gave me :)
Ps, the blouse is from H&M and is made from viscose and cotton.
Made a bodice from a table cloth :)
The blouse and skirt are from H&M. Both are super soft and breathe well in the heat.
Propagating Neptunia oleracea (Water Mimosa) ? Please help :)
Neptunia oleracea (Water Mimosa)!
Ever propagated it? Please help me out
I've gotten my grubby little hands on some rare Neptunia oleracea, but it rotted, molded over and dried out and died last time I tried to propagate it in different terrariums, aquariums and in jars.
I've got another shot at this, and I'm trying again using sterilized sheers, hydrogen peroxide dip, with & without leaves on the stem & with and without willow water.
Any tips and tricks? The plant has traveled from asia to europe and is not in great shape, and also lacks roots
My dudes. I finally found one.
I've been looking for Victorian mourning belts for 4 years since I first saw one online. I must have asked 20 different second hand shops and scoured the internet a hundred times.
It almost cost me a kidney, but the heart wants what the heart wants.
Luckily we bought two
Biophytum sensitivum. One got some sort of fungus and dropped all the leaves.
Sound on
Bombina orientalis ladies out and about this evening
We've got the OG green mom, her blue daughters and an imported T+ albino.
Our living room paludarium - All female Bombina orientalis
The tank is around 250 liters/66 gallons. It houses the OG green mom, her blue and mint daughters and an imported T+ albino.
Duster jacket with huge sleeves
I have felt an increasing need for a romantic duster jacket for this summer with huge billowy sleeves. This is my first pattern test. It's based off another homemade pattern for a dress that I just opened down the middle and added extra length to.
It was originally white cotton, but was dyed using Dylons olive dye pod for the washing machine. It turned out nice, but the threads were polyester an unsightly. I hand basted some green yarn over it. Not my best work, but it's usable.
Crisp water the day after maintenance day
50 liter / 13 gallons, softies and macro algae.
Our kitchen is lost to frogs and salamanders (maintenance day)
Bombina orientalis tadpoles are ready for metamorphosis. Mom is T+ albino and dad is axanthic. Waterchanges. Leaves are prepared by boiling. More cleaning. Paludariums with very shallow water are prepared for froglets and later on, efts. Then, you guess it, more waterchanges.
A friend accidentally purchased gravid firebellies that laid eggs. She gave the eggs to me to raise, because I already had lots of tanks with tadpoles and some experience with amphibians. Salamanders/newts are completely new to me though, so it's a fun experience to follow their development. So far they're eating moina, copepods, ostracods and blackworms/tubifex.
