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.

50 liter / 13 gallons, softies and macro algae.

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.
