I love berries but my absolute favorites are raspberries and blackberries. I had some berry colored felt balls lying around in a little bowl and I thought I have seen a great many textile strawberries being made but no raspberries. I took one of the felt balls, matching embroidery thread and proceeded to make french knots randomly placed over the surface. I added a tiny crochet stem loop so it could be hung from a necklace and a leaf. It is so simple but I love how it turned out. I made another purple one. 

I picked a plate of black raspberries from the wild garden area on the west side of my home last night. They were delicious !!




delicious!

Wow black raspberries, I thought they were early blackberries.

Yes I was going to ask about the black raspberries too.
Blackberries here in the mountains are classified as a noxious weed as they can infest the native bush. I do have a persistent bush in my garden though!

Margie! These berries are adorable! Little things like that make life so much nicer. Oh! How lucky you are, you just need to go out and pick some berries! I wish that I could do that too!
