New item - Dishwashing Set!





What a pretty way to display some kitchen essentials! This set includes a bumpy dishcloth, flower dishcloth, and a scrubby plarn dish doodad in a striped green ceramic container.

The dishcloths are made with USA-grown cotton yarn, and are both my own original designs. They are yellow, green, and turquoise. The dish doodad is made with turquoise ribbon and a yellow Dollar General plastic shopping bag.

The dishcloths are machine washable and dryable, and the doodad can be sanitized in the top rack of your dishwasher. 

Perfect for a hostess gift or housewarming present. This set is available for purchase in my Etsy shop: http://www.etsy.com/listing/65136321/dishwashing-set-hostess-housewarming

Happy Birthday to Me!

I decided to do something new this year, and celebrate my 33rd birthday this week with a blown head gasket in my car. Boo hoo.

So, I decided to run the biggest sale ever in my Etsy and Bonanza shops! Use coupon code "GASKET33" for a whopping 33% off your order!
www.designsbymisschris.etsy.com
www.bonanza.com/designsbymisschris

Don't delay, the coupon expires this Sunday, 12/12/10.

And needless to say, I think I'll go back to my old way of celebrating my birthday. One blown head gasket is more than enough!

Thank you,

New Upcycled Item - Vintage Skirt Purses!

The other day an idea popped into my head. Why not try making purses out of vintage wool skirts? They're already lined, and since I'm rather lazy when it comes to sewing, that was a bonus for me.

So I felted some skirts, cut and sewed them - and here are the results! They have pockets on the sides, perfect for your keys, cell phone, or anything you need easy access to. The flower decorations are actually brooches you can take off and wear by themselves, if you so desire.

I really like how they turned out. I have the purses available for purchase at Gallery 141 in lovely downtown Lancaster, and will be carrying them in my online shops soon. 

I would love to know what y'all think of them!
