LOL, Jelly will top beads any day.
I thought you might have a few beads around.
Miss working with them.
Did you know that if you boil all the meat off a snake, and put them in the sun, they make a wonderful bead, with a natural opening?
My friend Mary made mine, we had to kill the snakes, they wanted in the house.
Rattlesnakes and I do not agree on our living quarters.
She would throw them in the chicken pen, after killing them and let the chickens eat the meat, then boil the bones to clean them and string and hang in the sun.
If it was fresh and fat, she dressed and and froze the meat for visitors, who wanted to eat it.
Not i.
The jelly came out good! I like the purple better than the bronze. More of a grape taste.
Snakes? Shudder I leave them alone if they’re out in the woods or non poisonous. if they’re in the yard and deadly, they’re toast. We have copperheads, rattlers, moccasins/cottonmouths. And yes, they’re on the endangered list. They’re definitely on the endangered list if they’re in my yard!
Never thot about making beads out of their bones. Never even considered eating them! Yuck!
Yes to the reg beads! I have tons! LOL
Have been sewing, think I told you, for my baby sister’s baby, due next month. Haven’t sewn in a while.
Don’t know anything about rain barrel drain systems. Had rain barrels when I was a kid. You could get in a lot of trouble playing in them—I remember that! LOL
