The Humble Poppy (part4)

December last year (2013) we had decided on doing somethink different, too our humble poppy.

Our humble poppy

Somethink spiecal to mark the one hundred years, since the start of the First World War. . . 

My mum and I decided to add gold to them.... 

Some of the group of knitters, wasn't sure about if they were taking part nor was sure on adding gold!

So while they were deciding on shall they or shall they not!

A small group of us (me, my mum and three lady's) had already decided that we were doing them...

Once we got Christmas out the way.. The five of us started knitting... It was a slow start to say the lease.

Then about February time my mum and I decided to add gold 100 . Our only trouble was were or how to find them... In the end my Auntie in Canada went to her local craft store I think its Michaels ... She found these....

Us ladys were all doing great.  Then tragedy hit my family... Which most of you will know about by now.   But for those who does not know my Aunt that I have just wrote about died mid August.. Totally out of the blue!!

So as you can all guess for my mum and I, we totally stopped knitting... It wasn't till the start October when the two of us started again...

We are both still knitting to meet demands for poppies! The other lady's did their own design with adding gold...

This is my mums and I poppy....

I will keep you all posted on how we get on

Second Quarter

What is happening to this year, seem to be flying by so quickly... Which is not so good!  I should right now working on my forth quarter. But instead I am starting to write my third quarter post... Before we will know it be Christmas!!!! 

So here is what I got up to during April, May and June...

April

 

April is the month of one of my aunts birthday.. She also like the others like the Art Deco style...

May

May has a few more birthdays in than April...  

The new home card above I made for my Aunt and Uncle. Who have moved into their new place! 

I have to say this is one of my favourite cards I have done... 

I think it is because I love all things to do dragonflies and butterflies.. I made this card for my cousin in Canada who loves dragonflies too...

 I made this one for a friend I call uncle. He loves gardening and a glass of somethink.

Made for some one I know who loves bunnies!

This one was for a close friend of the family....

June

Not a lot really happen in June, it was full of me work hard and no playing/crafting... I made the cards back in May...

The pretty card above, I made for a friend at work. 

 One of my mums friends, a close family friend. Hadn't been well in June... So I took one of my gold bags and jazzed it up. With an owl and cute flower... Then I filled the bag with sweets e.g.. Milk bottles, dip dap and other treats.

This car theme one I did was for one of my male cousin's in Canada.

The cute cat theme one was made especially for my cousin in Canada! 

Made this for a good friend of the family I call Aunt..

Sorry if my writing seem distant, maybe its me will try hard next time!! 

See you soon!
