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.

Birthday treats


I had a lovely birthday spent with family. I was very spoilt and did very well this year, including some gardening treats that will be very well loved over the coming months....including my asparagus shears (Sheffield steel no less!) and pruning shears.



I also received a book which seems really interesting, it's a Flavour Thesaurus, which pretty much is what it says it is!


...and to top it off, a little pair of Echinacea (White Swan) seedlings have appeared in my propergator since I was away.
