G'day!

Hi! My name is Kersti and I just love the excitement of a new shiny project. Sometimes I even manage to finish them! Born and bred in Melbourne, Australia I spent some time in Dublin for my sins before moving to sunny(?) Edinburgh where I’m teaching the kids all about the dangers of using the good scissors.

I’ve enjoyed these books, and you can purchase them on bookshop.org from independent retailers. I’ll get a penny or two if you do.
