We are turning green!

It is time for our 3rd annual "Going Green for Christmas" event here at J&K Designs. It dosen't take much to contribute a lot to help out. We have been working at creating news items all the time that can used in a green manner, helping save money and the environment.Items like our new Growels

(green paper towels),our cotton scrubbies with nylon for that extra clean or our reusable facial cleaning items and bath items.

Our items are designed by us and many are handmade.These make great gift ideas and we love to create those custom items as well! You can check us out on Facebook in our Going Green album. Let us know what you think, we would be happy to hear from you!

Spring & St.Patricks Day Free drawing

It seems like the holidays have just past but now it's spring here in Arkansas, St.Patrick's Day is just around the corner and summer not far behind!
Many might wonder who the little girls are that I always have in my header pictures. These are my two grand daughters, Ivy & Beatrix. They are the children of my two daughters, whom I have named my business after. Jenny & Kelly, the J&K of J&K designs! Being a grand parent is a whole different experience and one I wouldn't change for the world! I love these little girls and both they and their mom's give me a great deal of my inspiration!!
We hope to be soon introducing our next new product "Growels", your new green alternative to paper towels.I will be sending a set out soon to our first tester and I will be looking for 2 more to help out. Once everyone has a chance to use them and see how they work and I get feed back then I will begin to offer them online and on face book.We gave up using paper towels about a year ago and while it was a bit of a change to say the least we have become very accustomed to it. It saves money, and helps with paper waste as well!

In honour of the day we have a free drawing for one of new home banners. This one is decorated with cute Shamrocks and "Happy St.Paddy's Day in the center.This would make a great gift for some one or to hang on your front door!No purchase is required and you can enter until March 10th. Then we will have time to mail it out to the winner in time for the holiday!What fun. I love making these and have many ideas for these. I will add them to the web site hopefully soon.
Enter the drawing here!

 I wish everyone a wonderful week!

Going Going Gone Green!

 Going Green is becoming something we have been hearing a lot about and will probably hearing a lot more of in the future.We have many items  at J&K Designs & I try to make sure that all of them are items that are useful and reusable. At home I have been making an effort to reduce recycle & reuse items as well. In an effort to help out with this in a wider realm I have begun offering these new crocheted items on line. These dish clothes, scrubbies, make-up removers, mini face poofs & bath poofs and other items are all able to be used, washed and used over & over.

This is especially true with the make up removers. When you use the regular kind, it is usually one or two uses and then in the trash. With these reusable ones you can thrown them in the laundry, wash, lay them out to dry or throw them in the dryer.

 All of our make up remover sets & bath poofs come with a cotton muslin bag for washing. This is great for keeping the make-up removers from getting lost in the laundry and for the poofs from gathering lint from washing with the towels!




 As well all of our "Going Green" Crocheted items come in a recyclable box so it will save on waste as well. If you have not tried any of these types of items you are missing out. The dish clothes & scrubbies are great in the kitchen,& wash well. My daughter uses the make-up removers, and says she is able to use them several times before she has to launder them and that they work great!
We are offering Ready to Ship at the moment and will be offering custom order by the end of January. I will keep you posted.
I will be adding new sets and single items each month as well so you will have a great selection! If you are looking for a great items for your kitchen or something for yourself this is the place to look. http://www.jkdesignsar.com/handcrocehtedknititems.html
I am working on the kitchen area and hope to have the custom area open by the end of January and more items added to the Kitchen RTS section as well.
Please check out all of our departments for other gift itemshttp://www.jkdesignsar.com/
We are looking forward to a great New Year and know that 2011 is going to be an awesome year!
