Bio
Born: 13th March 1969 in Edinburgh
Star sign: Pisces
Where do I live? An beautiful island called Lismore
Who with? I live with my gorgeous man - Yorick, and my beautiful boys Ruben (currently 14) and Tom (10) and we also have cat poppy, cat Bashy and cat Spyro.
What do I do there? Water veggies in the polytunnel, loads of mopping up, picking up clothes, cooking and washing dishes. The rest of the time I'm in a blissfull state in my studio making things out of wool and designing the next must have (in my head!) and a lot of cycling to and fro
My favourite Books: Right now...empowerment books like "The power of now" and "The Secret", but also John Fowles "The Magus" and "The kite runner" and I love the "Tao of Poo"
My Favourite films: Babettes feast, Wings of desire and The colour of Pomegranites.
My favourite music: Bach cello suites for designing, Dolly parton for making (especially her album Little Sparrow), Teddy Thompson and loads of other stuff!
What did I do before moving to Lismore?
* Went to school in Edinburgh (South Morningside primary then St. Mary's music school and then George Watson's)
* Went to Brazil for a year, fell in love, learnt Portuguese and spun a lot of wool
* Studied foundation in visual arts in Manchester poly and then went on to study BA Hons in textiles at Goldsmith's college
* Made felt hats, sold them at Camden market and then eventualy Liberties and had Ruben in the midst of it all - moved to Pathhead
* Tom came along and I stopped making hats. sung lots of Jazz, taught Brazilian and samba singing, recorded an album and started singing with La Boum
* Tom went to school and I set up Mogwaii
* Moved here in 2006
There you go!!
