smile (1)I found my friend Rosey sitting on a bench in the park, stabbing a piece of fabric with a needle and a tangled web of brightly coloured thread.

I asked if she was mending something.  She frowned and said no, she was being creative; expressing herself through the medium of needlework.

It was… interesting.   Apparently, it was an embroidery depicting a pastoral scene of fields and flowers.  

“It’s, err, beautiful,”  I said, as I tried to work out which way up it was!

I asked what the red blobs were.

“Poppies of course,”  she said.

“Are they?”  I said.

“OK, if you must know I keep pricking my finger with this needle and they’re bloodstains.  But they look like poppies, don’t they?”

I left her to get on with her masterpiece!

    Must be quite a painful work of creativity for Rosey, is it not?

      I’ll suggest it, though I think she’s probably dumped it and started a new project by now!

      At least that’s one thing she’s good at! Having just read yours, I tend to agree with you Rochelle!

    Well done! Alas for Rosey, though: she’ll have a double woe from this craft. Her poppies are going to look rather impressionist if she ever washes the fabric.
