Poppy Makes... Music - singing and playing - Happy Birthday

 

Today is my birthday, yay me! And I have been meaning to learn to play happy birthday on my ukulele. And this year I finally did and of course I made a Singalong/ Playalong video to go with that. It is a bit of a different video because, it is a fingerpicking song instead of the strum song you might know me to play. Don't forget to check out the rest of my ukulele videos, you can find the videos on my YouTube Channel and here on the ukelele sing-along / play-along page. Have a great weekend!

Poppy Makes... Music - I'm yours from Jason Mraz

Hej everyone,

Recently I have uploaded a new ukulele video on my YouTube channel. As you may know, I have been learning to play the ukulele for over the past 2 years. On my channel and here on the ukelele sing-along / play-along page, you follow me and my progress on how I'm am doing so far regarding my ukulele skills. I have been having so much fun learning all kinds of songs and that all on my own just using everything you can find on YouTube etc. There are so many good tutorials out there and it is so satisfying knowing you can really learn a new skill. In my videos, I will show you which strumming patterns I have used, which chords and the words to the song. I know these uku videos are not video tutorials as most my other videos are they are more for me and showing you that if you put your mind to it you can really learn something new. And I know I have still got a lot to learn on the playing and singing front but it is just to much fun and why not share what I have learned along the way. Besides I really love making these stop motion videos that I can't see myself stopping making these videos anytime soon. So please check out the video here on the ukelele sing-along / play-along page, or click the picture down below to go to my YouTube channel.

Hi I am Poppy

Hi there, maybe you have been following me here for a while or maybe it is the first time you have visited my blog. But since I haven't posted for a while I thought it would be a nice opportunity to kind of reintroduce myself. So I created Poppy Makes when I was 21 and I have always liked to crafting and baking. I like to be creative sounds so vague but it basically comes to that. I make video tutorials in which I show you how I make or bake something, which tools I have used, which tricks I have picked up along the way and these videos sometimes also include free printable patterns which I made myself. But I also make other kinds of printables like cards, calendars, mandala colouring pages etcetera and they are always free to download in PDF format. Of course, I like to scroll through all the pages of Pinterest, Instagram, just the web to find some inspiration and try to make or bake it myself. In the past two years I have picked up a new hobby and I have been learning how to play the ukelele. It has always been a dream of mine to learn to play an instrument. Although I can't say I am absolutely nailing this ukelele thing I have posted since then a couple of ukelele videos on my YouTube channel where you can follow my progress but also I show you in the videos which chords I use and strumming patterns. I am always open to new suggestions and ideas for a new video so don't be shy and come and follow me on any of my other social media channels or leave a comment down below.

love Poppy
