Twist and Shout

Welcome to Twist and Shout! Come join in all the fun! Head over to 5 Minutes for Mom and find out all of the great prizes you can win over the next week!

I am Stephanie, mom of Aidan (5 1/2), Coda (almost 4), Téadora (2) and Dillon (1), wife of Nick and child of God. I am SAHM who loves to be crafty in my free time (what’s that?)! I love tie dyeing, hair bow making and digital scrapbooking. I spend my days cloth diapering, making homemade laundry soap, babywearing, sneaking healthy foods into my children, blogging and reading pretty much anything pertaining to babies, birth, breastfeeding, homeschooling and parenting. We are a family that loves to recycle, spend time out doors and eat green smoothies. In January we embarked on a year long journey of COMPACTING!

I am giving away a Custom Tie Dyed Layette Set, here is an example. It is #27 on The Ultimate Blog Party 2008 Prize Page.

My first picture of someone other than family wearing my tie dye! How cool!

Thanks Tabitha for the picture.

Here are the shirts prior to being sent to their new owner!

I went out on a limb today. And surprisingly enough the limb didn’t break.

I am a regular at DiaperSwappers. More often than not I have been frequenting the forums to add to my stash of cloth diapers and various accessories A few times I have sold some diapers that we no longer used or didn’t work for us. But today I tried something new. I decided to put some of my Tie Dye up for sale in the WAHM (Work at Home Mom) Wares forum. Holy Moly! I have gotten such an awesome response. So far I have sold NINE shirts! I am so excited. I am selling the shirts for not a large profit, because more than anything I just want to make enough money to buy the shirts and supplies and then I get to Tie Dye at someone else’s expense. As I continue to perfect my designs, I hope to be able to charge a little more…a girl can always use some extra money!

So thank you to the mama’s who liked my Tie Dye enough to buy it. I can’t wait to see those shirts on all your little ones!

to tie-dyeing. It is therapeutic. It allows me to complete something other than dishes and laundry. And tie-dyeing is awesome because there is a something to show for what I have done…a finished product.

When Kristy first taught me how to tie dye it was hard.  Not the actual tying or dyeing, but the fact that no matter how hard you tried, you really didn’t *know* exactly how the shirt was going to turn out.  If you know me and my ways, that was hard for me!

 I get all my tie dye supplies from Dharma Trading.  They have everything you could possibly need.  Plain white clothes, dyes, squirt bottles, syringes and on and on.
