a 38-year-old mom of two wonderful boys, Simon (4) and Oscar (2). Originally from the Netherlands, I’ve been living on a picturesque old farm in Loupiac, a charming village in the Lot region of France, near the Dordogne, for the past 10 years. The farm has been in my husband’s family for generations, and together with our kids, we enjoy the peaceful countryside life.

While my husband is the green thumb in the family, maintaining a beautiful vegetable garden that provides fresh produce year-round, I’ve found my passion in something a little different—crocheting! It’s my creative escape from the busy life of raising kids, tending to our animals (we have chickens, donkeys, geese, and rabbits!), and running a bustling summer campsite.

A few years ago, I had a fun idea to start crocheting fruits, vegetables, and mushrooms—only the healthiest things! My creations are perfect as playful toys for kids or as quirky decorations for the home. Each piece is lovingly handmade, reflecting my love for simple, healthy living and the joy of crafting.
