Poppies 2

Poppies 1

I drew a winner for the Extra Curricular giveaway – and that person was CΓ©cile – hooray! I'll be in touch with you soon, C. Thanks everyone for entering.

We have some brand new poppies in our garden. They've been trying to open for weeks, and then this week they suddenly came out – looking very beautiful like Spanish dancing dresses with lots of ruffles.

These poppies are extra special because they grew from a handful of seeds a friend gave me at the end of last summer. After I planted the seeds, nothing at all happened until a few months ago when these glorious poppies started gaining in strength.

I did some more miniature embroidery work to celebrate.

I hope you are having a good week so far!

    Your poppies are beautiful Melissa … they surely DO look like spanish dancing dresses. When they go into seed heads & dry you will be able to sprinkle them all over your garden. Your embroidery is gorgeous too πŸ™‚
