Death Pellets.

.

That's what these are.









What you can't see is that they went 20 feet in all directions. Michael told me he was going to go outside and take care of the oil in the van (What a man!), and I was putting things away in the house. The bottom fell out of this jug of pellets I was carrying, and life as I had known it was changed in an instant.

You should have seen his face when he came in.

It probably looked a lot like MY face when it happened.

Wednesday, being rainy, gave us another day to have a sewing marathon. Look at this cool little machine. I got the "I want ones".





A bobbin winder. But it did not shut off automatically as it was supposed to. I hope we can get it figured out.





And poly-satin underskirt, all made up, but in need of hemming.





My bodice is coming along.





The taffeta overskirt. Gathering, endless gathering...





These colors are gorgeous! She's going to look like liquid chocolate, flowing across the ball room.





Hmmmmmm... Time for some hot cocoa.

  4. Jennifer,

    Aren't they awful?

    If this world survives much longer, all the worry about global warming will be replaced by worry over how to live with 12 inch deep pellets covering the globe and beginning to orbit the earth.

  5. Linda,

    Pellet guns. Airsoft. All the rage. The first time one of my oldest boys told me he and some friends were shooting each other, I was difficult to convince these were anything but multicolored BBs.

    But the kids dress up and shoot each other with them. The photos from the other day are from one of their games.

    It's enough to make anyone want to dress up, isn't it! Fun.

    oh, so pretty...

  8. Kim,

    I found we have to manually stop this one, but I still like it.
