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?

Lucky Me!

I have been featured on a wonderful new website called "Meet and Greet the Artists!" There is a lovely interview about designs by miss chris, and pictures of some of my work. Click here to take a look:

The website also has a tab for current sales and promotions, which contains a link to my back2school sale on www.designsbymisschris.etsy.com.

A huge thank you to Margaret for her vision in putting together a great website, and in allowing me to be a part of it. I'm a very lucky girl!

Be sure to leave me a comment and let me know what you think of the site!

thank you,

Custom Gemstone Necklace



I was cruising through the custom requests on Etsy last week, and one for a gemstone necklace caught my eye.

I put in a bid, and it was accepted! After emailing pictures and rearranging the stones as needed, this necklace is the final result.



The necklace contains an array of gemstones: Amethyst, Quartz, Garnet, Bloodstone, Smokey Quartz, Carnelian, Amber, and Magnetic Hematite.

I also made a matching 2 inch extender, to make the necklace more versatile. She wants to be able to wear it everyday!




Now it's on its way to its new home in Hawaii. I hope she likes it!  :)

My Recent Treasuries on Etsy

Several months ago, Etsy opened up one of the treasury sections for people to create lists anytime they want. This pleased me, since I never seemed to be able to be online at the right time to create one before.

Here are some lists I've created.
Clean up your act!
Lots of yummy soaps and related accessories

In case you can't tell, I had a blast putting these together! It's amazing what people can make by hand, don't you think?
