Hello, I’m Emma…
My husband and I live in the rich soil of my childhood hills, working hard, laughing lots and living a simple country life with heart. We welcomed our first child in Winter 2014, a sweet baby girl named Eleanor, our blossom. Another baby girl, our peach Harriet, arrived in the Winter of 2016.
Most days I can be found baking up a storm in our farmhouse kitchen, sewing and crocheting little creations, collecting eggs from our generous hens or digging about in the garden.
I am a professional photographer by trade, a creative soul, born in the spring of ’86 and addicted to tea. I learnt to sew perched next to my mum as a little girl with my cat on my lap, fascinated by the gentle fold of the fabric, the slice of her sewing shears, the hum of her machine, and the creation of something beautiful from your own hands. I learnt the value of the seasons, of a good Autumn break, of harvesting what you sow from my farming father and grandfather. I spent my childhood running under spud irrigators and stomping on a wool press. I am a proud farmer’s wife and farmer’s daughter.
I began blogging in early 2008 after stumbling across this amazing community of likeminded creatives: I had found my place. Since then I’ve traveled a bit, seen a lot, learnt even more.
Welcome to She Sows Seeds, where I share our country lifestyle. Join me whilst I sew, grow, bake and make…
