Captured Emergance and dyeing roving

I got up just in time to watch one of the monarchs emerge from it's chrysalis. Soooo coooool!!

My order of Merino roving came today and I went to work on trying my hand at roving dyeing. OOOOoooo....dyeing fun!! It's the only time you will hear someone say dyeing is fun....and mean it without being a depressing EMO. LMAO


MMMMmm look at the permanent staining....OOOoo...even on my fingers!

In other news, we are starting to learn "flying" kicks at karate class. I am concerned because I do not want to hurt my ankles and I came home with both of them aching from the last class. Any idea on how to strengthen the ankles? You'd think carrying 200 plus pounds would be strong enough...but noOOOOOoo....twisted ankle here I come!

Until next time...

Monarch #1 Emerged!

Loverly! This one emerged early this morning. By the time I got up he was already fully pumped and dried. Now he resides in the huge 175 gallon butterfly cage. Pretty!!

Until next time...

Zee Monarch readies itself for Pupation

Hey lookie here! One of the monarchs is ready to pupate! He has built himself a base to hang from.
He will probably turn into a crystalis tonight. I put a stick in the buttefly cage for him to do this on, but he chose the LID of the cage. Typical.

OH yeah and YAY photo feature is working again!

Until next time...

Broke already?! Sheez.

Well I spent my lot of money already and it is still early payday! LMAO! I payed for those dyed rovings from etsy (Bad Lime and Violet! Roving p0rn is bad for my wallet!!! LMFAO!!!). I didn't have much to spend in the first place. Today is rent day (ho-hum), and a instalation check for my new Louet will be cashed Saterday, then they checks for my WTI tuition and for the poly eggs are still out and uncashed. Humph!

I also bought a large 175 gallon colapsable butterfly cage from Educational Science Online for my anticipated polyphemus rearing. I got an email yesterday from the man I bought the eggs from and he said they were being mailed today. EEEeeeeeee!! By the time the cage arrives, they should be hatched and growing.

The bee in the top photo I found in the garden this morning. He was just chillin. Cute little critter as he was waving his antenne at me as I tried to get a clear photo.
The second photo is the three day old Monarch cat. His colors are clearly visable today and he has trippled in size...doubling every day!! It is AMAZING how fast they grow!!

Not lingering on the brokeness of my budget, I set myself to work on spinning the rest of the Aquaberry while watching the rest of season 4 of CSI Miami, and doing the dishes. Tonight, I go up a belt level to Orange from Gold at promotion. EEEeeeeee! Hopefully, the BF will get some video this time 'round.

Until next time...
