ABOUT ME
Hi, I'm Kylie, I live in Melbourne Australia, and Tiges and Weince is my business. I have 2 online stores, Etsy and madeit, and I am also the author of this blog. I have lots of passions in my life, which include illustration, surface design and printing, textiles, interiors, reading, fashion, handmade, travelling, and my 2 beautiful children Hudson and Charlotte.
I love anything that is bright, fun, eye catching, whimsical, classsic, and sometimes odd. I love being outside, I love being inside, I have a thing for flowers, I love the city of Paris, great food, and I love anything that makes me laugh.
MY BUSINESS
I have been running my business since 2008, it's always been something that I have aspired to do.
The basis of my business are illustration targeted towards children and babies. What I illustrate is translated on to different products ranging from prints for the home, cushions, door stops, wall art, and clocks, heat bags, buntings & just recently some jewelery. These are created and sold to customers all over the world.
I also have another business that keep me equally as busy. It's called Quirky and Quaint, and it is a party plan style business that sells handmade, and Australian design decor for kids. It's a business that is run by a mum, (me), that supports other mums. As well as putting a range together, I also provide other women to create an income for themselves selling this gorgeous collection. It's really important to me that I can potentially help other women create an income, and have the opportunity to stay home with their children, should they want to. Quirky and Quaint started 12 months ago (Sept 2011), and is now being independently sold by 11 wonderful girls, 2 of which are interstate.

MY BLOG
My blog is inspired by my love of illustration, drawing on my beloved MAC, putting together collections, loving interior design, sewing, reading, writing, and my kids. I try to write at least 4 times a week, but if I dont do it please don't hold it against me. and I love to discover other designers that inspire me. I am always reading books on how to improve my business, & would love to share my knowledge one day on my experience of working in the fashion industry for 12 years. Here you will read about my journey of the products I design, and their development, good and bad to reach the end result. I also love to tell you about what inspires me, what I am reading, where I am going, and what photo's I am taking. I am a visual person so there will always be something pretty to see.
