Who am I?

I am a 40 something nurse, wife, mother of two grown children(one by birth and one by marriage) and several fur babies. I live life believing everything happens for a reason and attempt to enjoy each moment. To be fair, I can’t sit still! I’m often asked where I get my energy from and my standard reply is simple- I’m just calming the crazy.

When I create, it takes me to a place where I get out of my head and feed my soul. I’m always trying something new. I love anything DIY; from common arts and crafts to furniture, camper and golf cart refabs. Follow me to see the fabulous and the fails. I hope somehow my story and my work inspires you to feed your soul fantastic! 💜

Caring for Your Tie Dye

Your Urban Granola Design tie dyed garment has been washed and dried prior to purchase to allow for rinsing of loose dye and setting the color. This will minimize any color bleeding but it’s a good idea to wash in cold water with like colors or alone for the first few washes. As you wear your shirt, it's important to follow appropriate laundry practices to keep your tie dye top looking its best.

A few tips to keep in mind include:

Continue to wash tie dye shirts alone, or with other tie dye items or similarly colored garments.

Run the washer using cold water.

Promptly remove your shirt from the washing machine after the cycle finishes. If the shirt sits in the washer too long while it is damp, the color could bleed. Not only will this cause the shirt to fade, it could also damage other items in the washer.

Air dry if possible. If not, dry in the dryer on a medium or low heat setting.
