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.

Stubborness

I refuse to feel guilty for having a heated discussion that has upset her. I read once that some people are passive manipulators, and I think mum is one of them, if things go against the grain, she reacts with tears and people give in out of guilt. I don't, I can't. When it comes to my children, I want to bring them up, they are inextricably linked to my principles and ideas which when the grate with others, just grate. I am stubborn I know but I'm also compassionate to others feelings and views, but there comes a time when I have to defend myself and this is one of them. If mum continues to completely reject and of my wishes when it comes to looking after the kids, I don't know what I can do. This doesn't have anything to do with dad not being there, it just means she is a little more vulnerable, but how long can this be an excuse?

I had to vent that.
