Christmas in July

This may sound crazy but every time I get a new design project started it’s like waiting for Santa on Christmas.  With the artist that we are currently working with it’s even harder than that to wait. Stephanie Corfee is amazing! Don’t believe me check her out, Stephanie Corfee’s site http://stephaniecorfee.com/.  I have found myself lost for over an hour reading her blog and looking at her etsy shop, http://www.etsy.com/shop/stephaniecorfee.  I know I sound a little obsessed, maybe I am.  Can you see why??? These are the happiest feet I’ve ever seen!

Stephanie is the creator of “Grow”

I am so fortunate to have Stephanie as part of the Green as Wee Grow artists.  I actually find myself giddy thinking about the endless possibilities that lie ahead when working with Stephanie.  She has a free spirited style that makes me smile. I think what first drew me to Stephanie was the color of her pieces, it’s almost like they are giving off light.  We have two of her pieces hanging in our house, one in my room and one in my daughters.  I find it impossible to look at these pictures and not have a smile on my face.

With how crazy this world is anything that can make me smile when looking at it is worth being around.  Babies & toddlers have that same effect on me.  There’s something about the chubby little legs and arms, the toothless grins and the laugh that form the most irresistible little people! Being around these little crazy beings always makes me feel hopeful.

So what could possibly be better than to have Stephanies art work on clothing for these adorable little people, I’m guessing not much! We are in the works to have at least 3 new Stephanie designs added to our Green as Wee Grow collection!

Can you say excited, like waiting for Santa!

The Daily Green

Today’s small change is all about smelly clothes.  I know a lot of people who don’t feel their clothes are clean unless they smell like Bounce, Snuggles or Downy.  Unfortunately these smelly, soft products are an Eco no-no!  

Here’s something to make you green and smell clean!  Method fabric softener.  My personal favorite is fresh air, ahhhh the smell is clean and lasts on your clothes for days.  Method fabric softener also gives your clothes a super soft feeling.  Now I know your wondering why is Method a great company?  The main reasons are that they use natural, vegan, biodegradable ingredients and are 100% cruelty free.  Method can be found at Target and also on line at  http://methodhome.com/

A Green Start

Green as Wee Grow has been a few years in the making.  My husband and I consider ourselves pretty “green” .  We buy organic food, clothing (when available), our cleaning products are all plant and water based etc, etc.  We are trying to leave the earth as we found it or hopefully a little better. 

Green as Wee Grow is an organic baby & toddler clothing and bedding company that was thought of in 2003.  Then it was just an idea that I was always toying with, but never thought it would amount to anything.  In 2006 my daughter was born and things changed. I was searching, hard, for organic everything for my new baby.  I wasn’t finding what I wanted or needed.  During this time  I came back to my “idea”,  I thought if I am looking this hard for organic clothes other people are too.

Our goal at Green as Wee Grow is to bring organic baby & toddler clothing a little closer to main stream we want people to look at our shirts and say “those are amazing & they’re organic”, not “oh, at least they’re organic” .  We want our clothes & bedding to be affordable so that everyone can benefit from organic cotton.
