Recession buster Christmas

We're making sure we're extra good this Christmas because we don't want to miss out on any of the goods. This year will be a recession buster Christmas for sure with a smaller budget even though the Aussie dollar is really strong against almost all other currencies and the economists are telling us to buy, buy, BUY! Cam and I picked up an artificial Christmas tree (sad I know) for $10.50 on ebay.com.au. Shipping was nearly $30 but it was still cheaper than what I've found in stores so far. I'm making some homemade decorations and created these little Swedish Dala horses out of felt and string.

I'm thinking of putting some up in my etsy shop here and taking them to sell at craft markets - here's a packaging idea.

Knit Wit clutch/purse - Magnus in turquoise and green

Here's the newest addition to my etsy shop and from the Knit Wit collection. This cheeky little purse is made from 100% wool yarn which I knitted and then washed to get a felted wool. It is lined with remnant upholstery fabric and appliqued with a leather Magnus horse. This little ditty is perfect for that warm fall or winter outfit and goes with anything and goes anywhere.

More Knit Wit items from the collection will be added soon.

Introducing...

... Magnus! The new line of cushions from Revision Design. In true Revision fashion 90% of the materials used for Magnus are repurposed items. Magnus is made from remnant upholstery fabric and leather and is inspired by the Swedish Dala horse.
