Hi! I'm a creative stay at home mum from Finland. I graduated as a Finnish language teacher just before my maternity leave. Teaching has been my number one career choice since childhood, because I like to work with people and to use my imagination.

Cute things and bright colours make me smile :) My favourite animals are meerkats and poodles, meerkats because they're so tiny and adorable, poodles because my family had one (called Tytti) for 15 years.

I started to crotchet amigurumis about two years ago. I usually don't follow any patterns, and that's why I love to crotchet: you can improvise :) I like to try different kinds of crafts, for example recently I made a diy wallsticker for our baby girl, when she "moved" to her own room :)

I hope that here in Swap-bot I get to try new things, make someone happy with my art and receive wonderful things myself :)

I've been on a break for a while, but now that our daughter is a bit older, I'm trying to activate myself again on the swapping too :)
