My parents sent us a parcel of black passionfruit and walnuts from their orchard (they arrived at the perfect time as I've been obsessively eating fruit lately which is unusual for me but may be an autumn thing?), and over morning tea I found myself marvelling at those passionfruit colours again, like I do this time every year. I found the same colours in my thread box (dark maroon, golden yellow, cream and black) and did a spot of embroidery on linen. They really are so beautiful together, don't you think? Nature knows a thing or two about design. 

I hope this finds you well and enjoying the start of autumn or spring, depending on where you live. Thanks for all the nice comments about the winter jacket yesterday- I have a few more to add to my shop update tomorrow.

This is my favourite song today, even though I don't have a stepmother.

    The colours are astounding me here down South too, and the birds as they feast up for the cold months ahead. Your sweet, delicate threads are touching as always.

    Just the thought of being able to grow passion fruit in your own garden baffles me! They are so exotic to me! But I do love their taste and the warm yellow/purple combination, too.

    Yum the embroidery looks divine!
    When I start eating fruit obsessively (out of character here too) its usually because I am pregnant. Other half always marvels at my fruit eating capacity with a new life in my belly.

    haha- yes jamara- that was my first thought too! (i’m pretty sure i’m not, though). through both pregnancies i had dreams like swimming in orange juice and being at a party with a giant pineapple just for me. 😉
