I promised a longer video for the Poppy Project and here it is!
From start to finish; over 6,000 poppies, countless volunteers, countless hours of work and planning, so many wonderful people both locally and from across the world all came together to help make Sue's vision of a poppy cascade from Bratton Fleming village church tower to commerate the 80th anniversary of VE Day a reality - and what a reality it was!
It has been such a truly lovely project to be involved with, I have met so many wonderful people and the community of Bratton Fleming hosted events on VE Day itself which raised £1,400 to be split between 2 charities which support veterans and their families - The Royal British Legion and Help for Heroes
Next week I will be writing a full account of the project on my blog and emailing my newsletter list so the people who aren't on social media will be able to see how the project turned out.
I have been genuinely humbled by this project, it turned out more beautiful than I could have imagined and am SO proud to have been a tiny part of helping it come to life - as you should be too 🥰

Last week I spent a fun couple of hours learning how to use oil pastels 😄
@pepper__pod was our very patient tutor and @ilfracombechocolateemporium was the stunning venue! (Gutted I forgot to get any footage of the amazing sea views we had!)
Can you guess which apple was mine? 😅🍎
If you fancy doing the same workshop, it is being run again at the end of February, click through to Peppers instagram for all the info! She has a link to book in her bio

IT'S HERE! @clairemontyknits NEW Card Deck has been released by @searchpress and it's stitches this time!
Puff stitches are my favourite so I couldn't resist hooking up stitch card number 30 in the deck - how beautiful would these squares be as a blanket? 😍
