Poppies are popping all over the garden right now- those papery red ones with a crinkly sheen. I love them. I made a small folk-style painting and got it professionally printed into card sets to give to friends at Christmas time.
And speaking of Christmas, I made my first decoration of the year- a grey dove with some embroidery. This is in preparation for teaching a class this afternoon, for an English-teaching organisation I've been volunteering with this year. The women we work with are recent refugees to NZ, and they are all really into making things by hand. Working on projects together, the women can practice their English and I love chatting with them- it's a great way to end the week. After a few sessions of making these, we'll use them to decorate a Christmas tree in our local cathedral. I'll be sure to show you how it turns out!
Have a lovely weekend, blogfriends.
