Amigurumi Chick Scrubbies

Here's a batch of chick scrubbies that I crocheted. They measure between 6 1/2" to 7 1/2" around (depending on the size of the pot scrubber) and are about 3" tall. These chuncky little fellas are so colorful and durable, made from 100% cotton and stuffed with a nylon pot scourer so that they can withstand water and rubbing without falling apart or clumping up.

 

They can be used to wash your dishes or to scrub your face. Because they are so durable and sturdy, they would also make an excellent sloughing aid in place of a loofa. You can put them in the washing machine on warm (not hot) and either air dry or use the lowest setting in the dryer due to the nylon scrubbie inside.

I'm going to list these in my shop today and then make some bee shaped ones for the Honey Bee Festival.

My neighbor, Betty, who had the surgery is slowly, but surely, recovering. It just takes time! She got a good check up report from her doctor, even though she is getting impatient with herself. She's such a sweet person. She made me this flower arrangement today because she knows I've not been happy lately. I'm upset with the heat, my missing shade tree that is keeping my AC running day and night, struggling to keep it at 75 degrees in here (yes, it even kicks in at midnight) and my body is covered in mosquito welts. My left eyelid is swollen up (I look like someone punched me in the face) and my other eyebrow and forehead has welts - all from the mosquitoes. I'm not a happy camper.

Last night around 11:30 pm I heard some strange noise outside and saw the truck drive through the neighborhood that the city sends out to spray for mosquitoes. It's really bad, even people who not normally are bothered with them, are complaining. We've had so much rainfall that the mosquitoes are especially happy and plentiful.

Betty, my friend and neighbor, made a flower arrangement for me this morning. She has a big Magnolia tree growing out back and my friend, Bobby-Jack, brought it over for her. Apparently Bobby was going to bring me just one magnolia flower, but Betty made an arrangement with it. Wasn't that sweet? I wanted to cry. Heck, I been wanting to cry for a while now and this is my perfect excuse (know what I mean?)

Off to do some more crocheting and later I have to pick up some more well water from my friend, Arlene, who allows me to come over and get as much as I want. I also need more cat food for the strays. Right now it's actually kind of breezy and it looks like we may have a little rain...I love the breeze, keeps the mosquitoes at bay.

Here's Middi checking out the flower arrangement. I know I don't post about her much, but I love her. She's a good kitty cat. I just wish I lived in a place where she could be outside because I know she really wants to.

I'll just keep on crocheting and I must tell you how therapeutic that has been for me. Even if I never sold another thing, just the act of crocheting and creating something is a wonderfully rewarding and satisfying experience!
