Fruitful Fusion Blog — collaboration

I've been a little quiet here, due to some changes, family issues and Ramadan. We saw the end of Ramadan, which meant a lovely Ramadan Wool Club 2023 reveal. The minis (shown above) from our collaboration of five dyers, created a lovely unintentional fade!  Celebrating the end of Ramadan also meant "family time". My Mum has been in hospital for two weeks now but she was able to come home for a few hours on Eid day. It was nice to have her spend time with her grandchildren.

Some of you will already have heard about the collaboration with Ellen of KaLokShekEllen and Verity of Truly Hooked. We're having lots of fun putting together a delightful celebration of Autumn! For an Autumn baby, I seem to be more attached to warmth and sunshine. I'd have to put that down to travelling a lot as I was growing up and probably also, living in warmer parts of the world. But I do love connecting with the seasons, whether it be in the food I cook, seeking out seasonal hints with the children when out walking, or the colours I...
