Tofata is an acronym for Two Old Farts And Their Animals, just in case you were curious about the name.

In addition to my creative pursuits and business ventures, I’m a person of diverse interests. I find solace and inspiration in the great outdoors, frequently hiking the scenic trails of Wairarapa with my faithful companion, Molly and my husband. When we not on the trails, we enjoy a leisurely stroll with her, relishing the simple joys of life.

Reading has always been a cherished pastime, and you can often find me engrossed in a good book. The rhythm and energy of Rock ‘n’ Roll dancing are another passion of ours, adding a touch of nostalgia to my life.

The art of patchwork and quilting is a form of artistic expression for me, and I take delight in creating beautiful, handcrafted pieces. Sewing is another avenue for my creativity, as I work on various projects that allow me to bring my ideas to life.

Last but not least, tending to my vegetable garden is a grounding and rewarding experience. Growing and nurturing the bounty of the earth connects me to the natural world and provides a source of fresh, homegrown produce.

My life is a harmonious blend of creativity, business, and the simple joys found in the everyday activities I hold dear.

Join me on this creative journey.
