In Our World There are so many fun creative projects on the go here at Clever Poppy! It's hard to pick my faves, but here are a couple to give you a 'sneak peek' on… I've been focused this week on designing an upcoming pattern for our super confident makers, which will drop in the membership on the 1st July. It's a flower stall brimming with colorful blooms, I'm dying to stitch it up myself so that's a good sign! Bess has been working on an adorable new set of wash-away embroidery stickers - this time the theme is 'in the garden'. If you like chickens, wheelbarrows full of flowers and cute packets of seeds, then this one's for you! I hope you've all got something lovely to stitch at the moment. It really is the best part of the day!
