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.

Pink for girls

When Freya was born I made a concerted effort to buy clothes that weren't all garish pink. Then the other day I noticed some of her clothes piled up, most of which were... pink, yes. It is quite hard not to buy pink as if you want to save money and buy in bulk, inevitably two out of three options will be pink so you are kind of forced into it. I have recycled a lot of Hugh's clothes, but I cannot deny I'm a sucker for a pretty dress as Freyja is a butch kind of girl, it's the only way I can make her look more like a girl!
