Poppies

Today was the day that the school kids put together a Remembrance Day presentation at school. I realized late in the game that they need poppies. Being that we never go out anymore, there is no donation poppy box in sight, and like so many other years, I was caught a day of two before the day they were needed, poppiless.

So this year, I made poppies!! And I’ve got to say, I really like how they turned out!

Rowan’s bananas. Rowans bananas. Rowans bananas are bananas.

They are far from perfect, and they’re a little bigger than average, but the kids were SO happy with them! Rowan even requested I make one for his teacher, which I thought was cute. They were so quick and easy, so why not?

The idea to make them and sell them for a donation crossed my mind, but I believe someone else in the area already does that (?) so I won’t unless there’s actually a need/want, but I was happy with how they turned out, and the kids were too.

Crisis averted. Poppies acquired. Craft scratch itched.
