Poppy installation update

Something quietly meaningful has been growing behind the scenes over the past few weeks, and I get to share what’s been happening.

The Auckland Felters' poppy installation is one of those projects that reminds me why making things by hand matters – time, care, generosity, and people coming together around a shared intention (in our case fundraising for the RSA). I’ve been genuinely moved at several points along the way.

If you’ve been following along, this is a little progress update… and there’s more to come. I’ll share again soon as things evolve. 🌺
