Hello! My name is Amanda Murkar and I am the owner behind We Made It.
When I'm not working in the store, you can find me in my sewing room, with my animals (2 dogs and 3 cats!) or even driving a tractor on our farm! My husband Matt grows cauliflower for Metro and Sobeys so there is always lots to do!
I am a country girl at heart, I drive a pickup truck and I wear baseball hats! I always have a half-cold black coffee in hand.
When I get a chance, I LOVE to go fishing! If you ever hear country music playing in the store.... YEP! That's me! LOL
I sew, I make candles, and I'm the stores best customer ;)
I decided in December 2020 that I wanted to open my own handmade boutique so that I could not only sell my own items, but also offer a more affordable option to other local makers!
I have my own handmade business called Sew We Made It, in partnership with
Sew Sweet Handmade created in 2018 and run by myself and my partner, Eileen.
We Made It was named not only for the handmade aspect of our products, but also because we opened a business during a world-wide pandemic. We Made It through a lot of struggles and issues and came out with a beautiful shop with over 120 handmade, handcrafted and/or Canadian makers!
We offer items from baby products to plants, jewelry, woodworking, signs, decor and more. This is truly a one-stop-shop that downtown Cobourg desperately needed!
Thank you for shopping locally for handmade items!
