Poppy Patchwork


My little bit of this big World

Sunday, 14 June 2026

Last week

 I've  stitched on Mollys second swimming badge, she is doing well. I have also added stuffing to George's dog Henry, he was rather limp and would not stand up, I love being able to do these task for them.


We met daughter at Dunelm for a coffee and a cake, I saw these silk daisies which I love, I would have liked an old fashioned milk bottle, this Kilner jar looks almost as good. I already had the field poppies and cornflowers, these being a favourite bunch of flowers for me.


Hubby took George to the park and village on Saturday, he loved the park, at the village was the local craft market, so it was busy, they did not stay long, hubby said George went straight to the flowers and pointed to this bunch 'for nana'



Here's a memory jerker, always when George visits, the drawer handles have to put up, I have told him often it's not the right way, yesterday he had free reign to change them all.


Another good book, read on my kindle apt, your husband tricks you into moving out, you still love him, he's got a younger woman, it follows the wife's story, then the other woman's with a great twist at the end. Book 39 read this year.



It took until Saturday morning for George to be well again, most of Friday he refused to eat much I did not worry because he was sipping water all through the day, it was a dull day, so indoor playing suited him. Saturday he was with Grancha (hubby) all day, he was a great little boy, played outside in the sunshine, football and his balance bike being the favourites. Sadly I woke up in the early hours on Saturday and had George's bug, not at all nice, I did get up late on Saturday and just sat around, but I was so tired I went back to bed, George was OK with me being in bed, he kept coming to check on me, passing me my drink, much the same as I did to him on Thursday, plus lots of cuddles and him stroking my face.

We missed our Gala at the castle again this year, I do like to go, it's a proper family day, George has always loved to '999' section with fire engines and police cars, they always have so many children's rides, the adults rides are in a different field and only open later in the day. Hubby is out all day today, which is fine I can have a very lazy day, I might drive up to see daughter and little ones, to hear about thrie trip, much depends on how I feel. 

I almost forgot we missed a good local show a tribute to Robbie Williams, we passed our tickets on to friends who loved the show, hopefully we can catch it again.

  1. Swimming badges, and gymnastics and everything else badges - I loathed sewing them on, but the children were always so proud of their achievements, rightly so.
    Bless George and the flowers - what a thoughtful little boy.
    Hope you are feeling stronger now. Take care.

    1. I don't mind, I often stitch on a neighbours son's badges to his scout blanket.

  3. How lovely that you get to do those things for the children. George loves you and decided that you definitely needed those flowers.

    God bless.

  4. Glad to hear that George is better but sorry you've caught his bug, I hope you're feeling better soon. Well done to Molly on her swimming achievements, there's no stopping them once they're off.

    1. All three have had swimming lessons since babies, so pleasing to know they are becoming safe in the water.

  5. Sorry to hear that you caught the same bug as George, but glad you are on the mend. I too find it really satisfying to do small repair jobs to keep things in circulation.

  8. Poor you picking up those germs. I hope you are starting to feel better. Shame you had to miss both the Gala at the castle and the tribute band. Let's hope that you will be fit and well next time.
    Well done to Molly for her second swim badge. Such a good thing to learn early.
