It's probably having a stop off in Holyhead for a few days - hope it reaches you soon Acorn - we're all on tenterhooks with you.
Life's too short for ironing.

@Ploshkin it had better not reach @Acorn or I'll be asking questions!!!  ;)

Word is on the street! I even went to the local auction and asked the lady who makes the chips!!!! That sentence only makes sense when you know that Mrs C runs the little sub sub sub PO and young Mr C, her son, owns and runs the auction!!! 0_0 If that parcel is within 5 miles of here I will get it.

Here at last is my cushion cover from the lovely Lowena.

I needed a new cushion pad, as mine were a little sad.

There you go.  You just need the location of the image itself, with the img tags around it and none of the rest of the coding.  So the img tags go around https://i.imgur.com/hteVxEF.jpg?1 to get this into the post.

I might look as though I'm talking to you, but inside my head I'm sewing.

I can finally reveal my gorgeous cushion made by Ella's fair hand ....



Combining a heavyweight chenille type upholstery fabric with glorious batiks and picking the blue from my lovely curtains in our lounge, it now sits in pride of place on our sofa!

Thank you soooo much Ella, I love it!

@Francesca I contacted Royal Mail and have done all that I can but no joy. You can claim the postage back if you have proof of posting but apart from that I'll have to make do with an apology.  :'(
Gutted.

I feel gutted for you too, @wrenkins - you were so looking forward to your cushion cover - but how thoughtful of @Francesca to be making you another one. <3
