Welcome to Michelle Makes Stuff. I'm Michelle, a wife, mother, and ICU nurse who has finally gotten some time back in her life to return to crafting!
While I don't call myself "artistic" (I can't draw to save a life, good thing I have other life-saving skills!), art was always one of my favorite modules at summer camp, and I had the benefit of growing up with a creative, crafty mom who was always working on something new.
2023 was the year I learned to crochet, and 2024 has been the year I returned to tie-dyeing. I always loved trying to create spirals and pretty designs when I had the rare chance to tie dye growing up, and once I saw a video about ice dyeing, I knew I had to try it.
Using my previous experience and online resources, I quickly created multiple pieces for my family (the kids are OBSESSED), and realized how much more I preferred the softer, often almost water-color creations possible using the ice dyeing technique. Of course, there's always room for rainbow tie dye!
So here I am, venturing to share my creations with others. Contact me with any questions or requests. I look forward to bringing a little more color into your lives!
