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.)
