Looks amazing. How long did it take ? My wife recently finished a quilt cover that's patch work and embroidered, and it took a year... A YEAR - I'd be bored after an hour.

About 10 hours... probably more! I have a patchwork cover I'm doing. It may be finished by 2019. I started it 2 years ago (to be fair, although it is a big job, it is currently the in between project).

I've just been out bidded on eBay, back to the drawing board.

Jesus said, "It is finished." With that, he bowed his head and gave up.Even Jesus has no idea what it is.

I don't know how you all do it - huge amount of time, and it looks great. People ask my wife why don't you do alterations or custom embroidery etc... because no-one will pay given Primark rubbish !!!

I've just bought some smoked salmon,reduced in price. Do i have to eat it raw? I don't fancy eating raw fish.

It's ready to eat as it is.
I also recommend it with scrambled egg.

I love the look of your cushion @hopless500

I love smoked salmon.... but if you don't want to eat it "raw" (it's smoked so it's not raw), then chop it up and chuck it over some freshly cooked pasta, the heat from that will be enough to "cook" it.

Actually that's better than my suggestion.....

I make my own gravlax - cured as opposed to smoked... Sooooo good...

Picked up a whole side of salmon for a fiver on yellow sticker in the co-op on boxing day. No prizes to guess what I did with it. And it keeps really well in the fridge too. Only just finished it last week. Actually, it's nicer once it's had a chance to mature a bit.

That sounds lovely, but I do not like too many mushrooms, thank you.

So you've been invited then?

I've just filled up the screenwash reservoir on the car, the stupid thing kept 'bonging' at me every time I used it, and telling me it needed filling.
After 2 weeks of ignoring it I finally gave in and filled it

Are you aware potsy that your avatar at first glance looks like a character from Trumpton? I always have to look at it twice.

I'm not watching the rugby either.

We saw the pictures....

I have just discovered my kitchen

Do you still remember how it it works, I mean the bits that aren't the washing machine?
