Manuka 1

Manuka 2

There's one sweet manuka plant in our garden, and I used it as inspiration to embroider these stems on some dark berry-coloured linen. The plant gets pretty bashed around in the wind, but it seems quite hardy, thankfully. I've always loved manuka trees- we used to have a big one by the front door in a previous house. 

This week I've been feeling grateful for the spring sunshine and light. Watching The Bridge (Swedish version) and eating almond chocolate at night. Reading a book about tuatara.  Enjoying being home with the children + teenager. Doing a little spring cleaning. (only a little, mind you.)

    Isn’t the Bridge (Swedish version) wonderful? We are looking forward to the new series coming out. (Kim alias Martin) mentioned it in a clip I watched a few months back so we just have to wait….. And your embroidery is marvellous. Where do you get all that lovely linen material from?
