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.

On the window sill

My mum pretty much always has something edible 'ripening' up on the window sill, whether it be a shop bought mango, some home grown plums or strawberries, there is always a treat on offer. It truly reflects the seasons too, and I may even post a regular piece to demonstrate the point.

So at the moment on the window sill is....


A homegrown cucumber from my aunty, and one from my allotment, some damsons from the roadside and a trio of figs from the front garden.
