Hatchlings - Day Two

The babies moved a little bit! Although they still seem to be hanging around the clutch area. They've darkened a tad, but I doubt it'll be noticeable to anyone who hasn't seen them in person. Here's a picture of the babies on day two:


You should click on the picture to get a better look. I'd LOVE to get a really good close-up of them, but my camera won't cooperate. It's on its way out, I'm afraid.

I'm contemplating offering the babies a piece of carrot. Kai's mother told me that they'll eat the peat moss while they're young, so I'm not sure I should start spoiling them just yet. I plan to get them a really big pickle jar (or a critter keeper if I can get one past Kai) in the near future. They have to grow a little, though. I don't want anyone getting lost in the move!

In other news, I started a purple and cream Crochet Flower Hot Pad. I'm making it to go with my mom's birthday gift, if it turns out okay. The design is really attractive, and I especially like the examples on Ravelry that have orange centers. I think I have a skein of orange cotton around here somewhere, so I'll probably be attempting that next.
