Interesting Christmas gifts

I want a Charter Arms Pink Lady .22. They also come in purple, green, and blue.

Ooh, I like the pink .22 idea! I've seen pink BB guns at Tractor Supply that I think are cute. Also, in magazines I've seen pink toolboxes with pink-handled tools that I'd like to have.

Stellasami, I have some relatives who could use that foot thingy your son gave you. I think I've seen them (the foot thingies, not my relatives) in catalogs.

This is the one that I want.

Oooooh, looks like the kind EJ would carry. LOLOLOL

 

[redsquirrel]

Oh my goodness, Poirot made me spit tea all over my laptop!!!!

Mine's a Walther P22. It's pastel pink on the bottom, black on top. They made a hot pink, but it's super hard to find.

 

[redsquirrel]

Sounds sweet!

I tried to post a picture, but I use my phone and it won't let me, says it's too big.

 

[redsquirrel]

I found pictures. There was a bright pink and a pastel pink.
Is this what you have? If so, I'm drooling.

 

[missharleyquinn]

That's the one, Squirrel. They make a purple one, too, but my father in law knows I'm a fan of pink.

 

[redsquirrel]

That's a gorgeous gun. Looks nice and lightweight, too.

 

[missharleyquinn]

It is, and there's not much recoil while you shoot, which I am thrilled about. I hit my target 4 of 7 shots my first time shooting it! I know that's not great, but I haven't broken it in yet and am used to shooting 9mm and bigger.

 

[redsquirrel]

After checking this one out, I may have to rethink which one I want.

If Harley's weren't pink it would remind me of Dick Tracy.
Squirrel, the one you've wanted looks a little like the one I use to shoot rattlesnakes (without the pink). It's pretty old and has a history, which I won't share here.

I just had to get in on this one, too!
I think you owe several of us a laptop cleaning, Poirot!!

 

[missharleyquinn]

The mag drop is neat, too. It's the black underneath the trigger. Sig Sauer makes one similar to the one you've been looking at, Squirrel, it's a Mosquito. I eyed it (and drooled over it) for awhile. I haven't shot one, though.

My face hurts LOLOL. Not doubt about it, that was a good one! That absolutely was the last thing I was expecting to read in this thread.

Just wanted to update you all on my daughter's first project with her sewing machine. She made a tote bag and matching change purse for her best friends birthday. Was a very simple project to get her comfortable with the machine and I found the instructions on the internet. Only used 3 pieces of square cut fabric, designer masking tape (used as the inside liner), elastic band (used as the straps), and a zipper. Bought the fabric pre-cut in quarter sizes for $0.97 each. Total cost for entire project was about $12. Could have just bought the tote but this way she got to make something for her friend that was unique because she mix-matched the fabric pieces so the tote and purse are very colorful.

She was very proud of her work, as was I. I just hope she doesn't get carried away and want to make a set for ALL of her friends now.

Good for your daughter, cryin4days! I loved hearing that update!
