Mellow Fruitfulness

My son and I took our dog a long walk tonight.  I love that time of day when the sun is setting across the fields; the light is so beautiful.  We remembered to bring a bag with us and collected some lovely, juicy blackberries.  As my son said, the stings from nettles (there always seems to be some around blackberry bushes) and blackberry thorns are a price worth paying for being able to collect this beautiful fruit.



Most of this batch of blackberries is now cooking in a cake in the oven.  I shall gather a lot more to make some jam soon.



You've probably seen them enough by now but I thought this latest pair of Mimosa earrings went with the blackberry-blue-pink theme of this post.  I like them in this colour way, very soft and romantic.

Best wishes,
Frivole

      Thanks for the info! I have that Workbasket book & I see that it's the mat on the cover. Never noticed it till I saw your on the blog. Guess I'll add it to my list of possible future projects.

      Great! Lucky for you, it's always a nice surprise when we find out we actually already have the book we're looking for!

    Hallo Joelle,
    die Ohrringe sind wunderschön. Auch die Decke unter den Brombeeren ist sehr schön. Wo finde ich das Muster?

      Hallo Johanna, the pattern is from the book "Tatting Patterns" by Workbasket.
