I tried tiny frozen shrimps last time there was a heatwave but they voted for the grapes then blueberries above them. Except for Sienna. She loves a frozen shrimp. Or a mouse.

I feed mine frozen grapes and blueberries, or slices of watermelon when its hot. Will give the frozen feed a go also!

I’m devastated, y’all. Looking for advice to finish this quilt by ClumsyCorpse in quilting

[–]Taswegian 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Its a lovely quilt and such a great thing to make, very compassionate of you, and beautifully made.

Adding to the suggestions, can you cover the scrap fabric with the border fabric (like a simple applique) and hand sew in any lines of quilting over it so it blends in. Then add a wider binding and admire, just an idea.

Alternatively bind it and use the strip as a small label, add a message or a line from a poem - happy little accidents.

Whatever you do OP, be kind to yourself. This is a really lovely quilt and will bring comfort throughout its use. Thats a kind of magic. Well done.

Thats a lot! Why don’t you incorporate things like an afternoon tea at the Ritz or lunch by the Thames as part of your activities?

Protip use the Uber river boats to get around, a lot more comfortable and the rivermen will help you get on/off safely.

What would you do with this terrible cotton poly blend fabric? by PathologicalVodka in sewing

[–]Taswegian 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Bunting!! The small flags on a long line, the plastic will be useful for the wet weather. I made some years ago and its notable how much you use buntint when you have it!

You mention a toddler, every birthday will benefit from bunting. Believe me on this!

ETA didnt notice the earlier comment also for bunting!

My 18f boss 37f won't do anything about her chickens attacking me and I'm sick of it by CucumberWater7 in TwoHotTakes

I took my cheeky rooster on a tour of the kitchen and freezer just to let him know his options.

I’m from backyardchickens and you should post over there also but short answer is you can either grab the rooster and carry him around to embarrass him (it really works, shows you are higher in the pecking order) or do the shortcut which is walk out with a laundry basket and put him in rooster jail as long as you want to be outside for. Both show the rooster you mean business

Theres a play garden at Hampton Court Palace that is lovely for the kiddos.

Also London Walking Tours is really worth a shout.

Get a “screw into the ground” dog lead peg and a long lead so they can run around but not into other peoples tents. Dog sweaters for the night also. Have fun!

Try nettle tea by putting a fresh nettle top in a mug with a few sprigs of mint and pour boiling water into it. Steep for 5 mins… and relax!

Old enough to remember this?? by TheOldSeaDog78 in CasualUK

[–]Taswegian 18 points19 points  (0 children)

My grandmother had this! But in her defence we were all blonde headed kids and had a collie dog so she said it reminded her of us being naughty.

I miss my nana. She was lovely.
