One of my hobbies is tatting. I learned to shuttle tat a number of years ago but then discovered needle tatting a few years back at the Houston International Quilt Festival and was sold. If you have ever wanted to learn to tat I recommend Needle Tatting. So for awhile now I have belonged to a needle tatting group. While not terribly active at posting some are quite prolific tatters that I am in awe of. At any rate today while posting back and forth we got on the topic of weaving and I learned something that I did not know but want to try out, namely soaking the sticks in vinegar to 'rubberize' them. Won't be in the near future but something to keep in mind as one of my 'projects' is to weave a basket using pine needles from my son's yard.

This looks great with a bold color for the subject of what you are talking about. You can scan through it easily. You are so busy. I cannot believe that you have time to do this Blog. It is nice to have things we do in one place in photos and writing. Like a diary, or a Legacy of our own. I think this is what drives us to do something like this.
Your caterpillar is very cool. It looks like it has managed to eat a lot, but like you said, keep you busy. Too bad there is not a way to keep the base of the leaves wet, or get a longer stem of leaves and wrap them in say, wet paper towels or in the thing they use at the florist for flowers, the tube that holds water. Just typing and thinking.
Great Blog and many more to come, I hope.
