from the hands of miss chris

What have I been up to? Well, I've been making Ribbon Dish Doodads like crazy! Instead of going with random combinations, I hand-selected the bags to coordinate with the ribbons I have. Here are some of the results!
Sunbeam Bread Bag from Lancaster PA. This one makes me smile!
Gallery 141 bag - great colors for Valentine's Day! (Downtown Lancaster, PA.)

"go green" with a Dollar Tree bag from Harrisburg, PA.

Lose those winter blues, courtesy of Lowe's (grey) and Best Buy (blue), both from Lancaster, PA.
And last but not least, a little purple from Stop & Shop in West Springfield, MA. (thanks, mom!)
These and more are available for purchase in my Etsy shop - http://www.designsbymisschris.etsy.com

Want me to make some for you out of your OWN bags? Please let me know, because I would absolutely love to!  :)

happy creating,
~ miss chris

Art in the Ballpark


Last Saturday I partcipated in Art in the Ballpark, a benefit fundraiser at Clipper Stadium here in Lancaster, PA. The event raised money for a the Antonio Forte Transplant Fund.



It was a beautiful day, in spite of how chilly it was when we set up at 6 am. :) And it was fun to fill up my tables with my new product lines.


Bracelets and hair clippies,
One table was almost completely filled with all my plarn creations.





dish doodads, a wallet, and even a market bag -


all made out of plastic shopping bags!

It's also fun having more color on my tables. I love seeing such bright colors. Don't the face scrubbies and cotton balls look cute in their mis-matched pyrex bowls?

 

Usually I hang scarves and market bags on the frame of my tent for some vertical visual interest. However, sincewe were set up in the baseball stadium concourse, I didn't have my tent. So I hung them on a drying rack instead. People can't seem to resist touching the scarves!




It was a great event for a worthy cause. Thank you to everyone who came out and gave us their support!

Pretty in Purple, Part 2

So, earlier this month I wrote about making a purse for a friend at work. Well, she asked if I could make a wallet to match, and of course I said yes!


Once I started crocheting, I decided to make two opposite wallets. One is purple with green trim (like the purse), and the other is green with purple trim.

I wonder which one she'll pick?
