CURRENT MISSION

Inspire people to live simply, make their own things, and respect our lovely planet!

ABOUT ME

I might be best summed up as a Took-of-a-hobbit. I love to cook, walk, work on farms, play autoharp, and practice traditional craft (knitting, spinning, etc.).

I'm easy-going, happy to make new friends, bake delicious things (for you!), and would love to spend some time listening to your life story.

PHILOSOPHY

Do you do it, or does it do you?

language, birds, baking, knitting, barista talk, getting messy in the garden, standing and looking at clouds, constellations, nature, making food from scratch, listening, being kind of ridiculously zany on accident all of the time, braiding hair, anything 18th century, Scandinavia, speaking Swedish,

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I lived in Sweden, it was never dark during the summer. I'd try to explain how that feels but it's really not possible just by typing... so ask me in person and then we'll talk :)
