So (family can skip this bit...), I'm Amanda and I live in Edinburgh although I'm from the US. I have a lovely husband, Steven, and two little monkeys, Jamie and Maia. Here they are:
As you can see, my children are very into their 'technology', taking naked phone calls from Barney and Thomas the Tank Engine respectively. (Steven taking naked phone calls not posted).
About 18 months ago, I started teaching myself to sew, mainly with the help of the lovely people over at Craftster. Curtains and pillows first (I was pregnant at the time with Maia and nesting big time), and when she arrived I started making lotsa, lotsa baby clothes. And then more baby clothes, and then some more. I started off with fleece, then knits (oh how the sewers amongst you will laugh that I started on stretch fabrics!) and then wovens. About 6 months ago I started selling my creations under the name Kitschy Coo at fairs and markets, and on my website www.kitschycoo.co.uk. An Etsy shop followed, then Folksy, and I'm now in some retail shops too, in the US and the UK.
So that's me! Thanks for finding my blog!
