A bit of a balls up!

Hi everyone! when I started sewing about a year ago I also learnt to juggle as another lockdown skill(very fun btw!).
I actually bought some balls online back then but now realise how easy they are too make.

They look great! What did you fill them with? Plastic pellets? Rice?

Can you juggle with four balls? Three I can manage no problem, but i just cannot find the rhythm needed for four.

Similarly, when it comes to music, my brain malfunctions when attempting to play in 3/4 time.

Good idea! Would make great door stops if a bit bigger. Or pattern weights.

Was a bit of a spontaneous project so ended up using some very old sushi rice I found at the back of a cupboard.

I can do 3 with a few trick variations. I'll have to try push myself and try 4 and 5 balls.
Regarding music, try playing Pink Floyd's Money in 7/4 and your brain will melt :)
