Thank you I have put writing on the back of some pieces using the ceramic paints but it is difficult so I am going to wait till Gemma gets the special pens she uses at wedding so guests can sign the glazed plate and will put Private David Sinclair's story on the reverse

congratulations. here knitters have been busy across the country making poppies. One of my friends sent 4 poppies to the Australian War Museum in Canberra & staff put 62,000 of the million they received in the ground (imagine putting stems of 62,000 woolly poppies!) She was in Canberra after the poppies were on display so wandered around & saw one of her poppies near the path as they had a distinctive green yarn centre! sandra |

there are dozens if not zillions of patterns for knitted poppies, it's a cottage industry! Non-knitters can even buy knitted poppies from Etsy!

Megan, the plate is gorgeous! Has Gemma been able to get the special pens? Sandra, what an amazing tribute by the knitters. I found some photos online. It's heart warming to see evidence that many still care a hundred years after the war and the sacrifice has not been forgotten. |
