I go by my calender which says March 20th.  However, I have some new products that are screaming Spring and I just have to get them out to all of you!!  All the colors I have been working with these past weeks have really kept me hopeful for winter to depart. This slide show will feature my new crocheted soapholder with a matching washcloth!! Be sure and read my blog for the details of this soap holder listed under More News to the right of the slide show and why I believe using bar soap is just the best!!</p>

The soap holder is crocheted with two sides using 100% cotton and sewn together around a small sponge. The washcloth is knitted using 100% cotton.</p>
<p>Before I say anymore about the holder here are a few reasons for getting back to using a bar of soap.<br />
     1. The feel of a bar of soap in your hands is a very luxurious experience,very smooth and comforting, and even nostalgic for us a bit older who did use only a bar of soap for washing.    <br />
     2. As the warm water hits your hands holding the soap you start to smell the clean scent and then the soft suds start to appear.<br />
     3.You now can gently rub your hands together and while washing them take a minute or two and give your hands a massage. You have just given your hands a mini spa treatment!!</p>
<p>Now back to the soap holder. You can use this delightful holder to illiminate any messy soap dish problems which sometimes does occur using a bar of soap.  The sponge will absorb any water or soap and you don&#8217;t need another dish under it.</p>
<p>Lastly, I think the soap pumps are fine, however, all the antibacterial agents can be a little much and now that I have been using a bar of soap realize how nice it feels and taking a bit more time with my hands has really made a difference.</p>
<p>The washcloth is just large enough to cover your entire face, soft and yet rough enough to make it an excellent cloth to use when you want to exfoliate your skin; face, arms, entire body.</p>]]></summary><updated>2009-04-20T17:09:47-04:00</updated><published>2010-03-01T20:20:55-05:00</published><author><name>Rita Kontny</name></author><link href='http://store.yourflipflops.com/blogs/frontpage/1074952-a-great-soap-holder' rel='alternate'/></entry><entry><id>tag:db1@shopify.com,2008:articles/461902</id><title>Great time for a Wedding!!</title><summary type='html'><![CDATA[<p>A new slideshow showing you a few of my wedding designs!!
