This is my Poppy Page. It is in honor of my artist friend, Linda. She adores poppies & Celia Thaxter had poppies all in her garden! The green cloth that I used was Linda's mother's. I've cross-stitched for many years & I thought this would be perfect for one of my pages.
This is the back of the Poppy Page. It says "sunshine", "flowers", "fresh", & "green". This really means a lot to me since I worked for Linda as a floral designer for 6 years. Working with fresh flowers every day was such a pleasure, but hard on the feet! I learned so much from her! She is such an amazing person!
This is a close-up of the front of the page. The cut-outs of the poppies were actually a photo I took at Celia's garden when I visited Star Island in 2005.
As a side note, as of Monday night, I've lost 26 lbs.!!!! I am so excited!!! I've already talked to my WW leader & told her that when I meet goal, I want to become a leader! I will meet goal!
Oh Karen I love the poppy page. It is so charming. So you were a floral designer. That must have been a fun job.
ReplyDeleteYou are doing so good on WW, keep up the good work. I think you would make a teriffic leader. You have a very positive attitude.

Floral designing was amazing!! I got to work with some of God's most beautiful creations & it made me so happy to be able to create something that made people happy (well, most of the time...we had someone complain that purple & orange don't go together...does God know that?)
ReplyDeleteAnyway, thank you for the comment about WW. I really feel that this is something I need to do. I feel so strongly about losing this weight & when I see someone that is severly overweight or a child that is overweight, my heart just goes out to them. Maybe I can help someone.
We shall see.
Karen, you have such a giving heart. Have a gentle Sunday.

I love poppies, too! This is such a pretty page - your cross stitch is beautiful! Lost 26 pounds - wow, that is fantastic!! I've lost 10 and I'm going to keep right on going - I'm feeling so much better already. Wanting to help others enjoy all the great benefits of weight loss is a really important goal - I think you'd be a great WW leader!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Shari! You keep going! It's so important to be healthy! I've struggled all my life with my weight & I know how unhappy it's made me.
ReplyDeleteWe can do this, my friend!!!
