About me



I'm a half Finnish designer who has since taken a break to bring up my children. I used to work in Graphic Design, but now I prefer working with textiles and illustration. This blog is about my allotment and garden. I have been gardening for many years and grew up watching my mum and dad do the same. I began my allotment in Jan 2010 in memory of my father who passed a way just before then. I also love cooking and finding inventive and delicious ways to make my produce into meals. I'm growing with my experiences, and welcome any helpful advice! Sometime soon I hope to use my garden as inspiration for my art.

Obituary

Earlier this year, Dad took me aside to show me a newspaper clipping from the Guardian. It was of an obituary of someone with exactly his name, he chuckled and said 'funny isn't it'. Of course I raised an eyebrow and gave a smirk while thinking 'dad you are so obsessed with death it's ridiculous'. Well not so ridiculous, only a strange coincidence. Dad was always a bit of a hypochondriac, probably so much so he could have googled the name to check the symptoms!

Perhaps he had a sense something would happen to him?
