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.

My little man Hugh

Hugh has come on leaps and bounds in the past few weeks with his speech, what a relief as I was beginning to get a bit worried about it. I can pretty much have a broken conversation with him now and understand 2/3 of it. Although now I sometimes wish I didn't always know what he wanted as I'm now subject to repeated demands of whatever he fancies at various points in the day. It's quite strange that since he's had chicken pox, he's much clingier and whingier. I hope he grows out of that soon, and the tantrums as they've been quite a feature since he's been about 1 and a half. I put it down to his frustration at not being able to talk, but no, it's just when he doesn't get his own way! Pretty typical toddler. But, he still astounds me on a daily basis by remembering something from months ago, or forming a really good sentence, that makes me think 'you really are developing a little personality there'.
