I live in central Oregon with my husband, daughter and a couple animal buddies. My daughter was born in March 2007 so I'm learning to parent a toddler right now - whew! I love crafting! My favorites are knitting, sewing and paper crafting/mixed media.I have an Etsy site for my handmade things - www.violet.etsy.com , an Etsy site for vintage things and craft supplies - littlevintageviolet.etsy.com - and a blog - amandacowell.typepad.com
