Hello There,

I have finally fixed my lovely poppies which came all the way from home broken, missing bits and looking altogether straggly because a lovely parrot had her way with them and enjoyed tearing them apart!! Just like a child, she didn't break all of them apart (so that I could have thrown them away with an easy conscience!). No, she decided to tear one piece of each leaf and poppy so that most of it was standing but with missing beads; I quite remember going into the dining room only to find her sitting on the dining room table surrounded by red and green beads - she was having the time of her life too :-)

I have finally dismantled each petal and leaf, fixed them, added more to them and hey presto - one poppy arrangement is now finished....... I always sleep easier somehow when I know there's nothing pending on my desk. Now on to my current project .............. !
