This morning I was pinning Chloe's poppy on her dress and she said, "That's not how my teacher does it." She then proceeded to explain the brilliant 2nd grade teacher method:
In (through the fabric), out (making a new second hole in the poppy), in (3rd hole in the poppy - just through the poppy this time, not into the fabric). The black center hides the pin weaving through the red poppy.

Now if I want to take my poppy off I have to remove the pin completely, pulling from the head of the pin. Sweet.

I love traditions. What a wonderful one.
what a welcoming dinner table!
love the poppy tutorial.
Oh, I forgot about the Winter candlelight dinners! I have got to try that.
Both your girls asked Avery if it was dark or light at our house last night when they called. (Thanks for the call, by the way, she was delighted!) It was dark, and now I think maybe we need some candlelight to go with it.
I have no pinning skills whatsoever.
I need to make a candlelight dinner soon.
I love the poppy trick. I have lost mine over and over and over this year. Maybe I can hold onto one for two more days now. Thanks, Chloe!
The candle-lit dinner is sitll a beautiful idea. You wise lady.
I love those poppies! We don't have those here, but I think we should. Great pinning tutorial!
I also love dining by candlelight.
Wait! Wait! Teach me. What are the poppies for? Have I missed a post? And what about the candlelight dinners? Did I miss that, too? Please, Barb, teach me.
By the way, the poppies remind me of the cute button covers. I'll never forget that photo of Chloe.
Yes, I just lost mine today - unfortunately a day before the remembrance day. This has become a very special day for our family, living here in MOntreal, we are fortunate to be able to remember with everyone else. Even the girls are wearing them.
the winter dinners WILL happen at our house this year. thansk for the reminder.
the poppies are so sweet. what are they for?
Loving the poppy! Wishing I had one for church on Sunday! I will get busy! Thanks for the pinning tip!
I am going to try the candlelight dinners! Thanks for the reminder - can it be winter again already?
Ah, the art of pinning...it always brings me back to my senior prom trying to pin a corsage onto my date. Cute poppy, though!
I'm going to try a candle light dinner the next time my husband and I actually have coinciding dinner times.
