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.

Erecting the tree and getting festive

I've held off putting up the tree to avoid the kids being bored/used to it before Christmas actually arrives. As we've been spending so much time indoors, we put it up on Friday. Hugh is clearly excited now and knows what is going on so he helped me with some of the decorations. I feel truly ready for Christmas now, I have done pretty much all of my shopping, now I just need to finish some homemade gifts then we can head down to mums on Thursday for the traditional Finnish Christmas celebrations. Yippee!
