Ribh's D'Coopage

@Aussie-Chookmum : I wanted to sneak a 4 leaf clover into the edging for you to find but I couldn't make it work. I tried though...

Thank you for the thought

Good evening folks the quiche looks awesome and so does the rug.

Very wet thanks Bob

I made a successful quiche with my girls eggs. Deana's weird wrinkly eggs were very heavy but only a single large yolk and the shells were very thin. Still yummy though.

The pastry looks grey green because I used 1/4 hemp flour. It's not off, I promise!

That looks amazing! Nice job.

It's soooooo cuddly! Thank you Ribh. I'm keeping my knees warm even as I type View attachment 1912044

Another beautiful rug!

I was thinking about how many generations of my family are going to use that rug and hear the story of the truly special lady with the chickens in Australia. These really are precious gifts. I am going to make certain it is called a "rug" as well. Thank you so much for sharing your gift with us.

Yes, @Ribh you're changing our language over here! My mother was wonderfully confused by the “rug” idea, which I found quite amusing as she has a bunch of Australian cousins and spent 3-4 years in New Zealand as a kid (at least two grades of elementary school!) She did ask “if that’s a rug, then what do they call the rugs that go on the floor?” Like carpet that doesn’t go wall to wall and has finished edges? I do love all the Aussie slang... but since they changed the work Visa requirements here and my friend was forced to return I don’t get to hear them much anymore!

My girl was wondering the same thing

Well, just to really confuse the issue a floor *rug* is also called a rug ...or a mat. A long one for a hallway would be a runner. I think we use words more in the British way than you do, certainly more so when I was younger. And when you read as much as I do you pick up words & incorporate them into your vocabulary ~ like mithered. Go ahead; ask me what it means...

I am so happy you are all pleased with your rugs & enjoying them. It was truly a blessing to me to make them.

Well, that’s all the same here... but we call the “lap rug” a blanket or a throw...

And okay, I’ll bite....
