Crochet Flower Dishcloth Scrubbie

Cute, fun project that takes no time.  I bought a 6-pack of scrubbies at Dollar General for $1.00 and found a crochet flower pattern online to add around it. 

Great yarn to use for dishclothes...

I didnt follow the steps all of the way (I always change em up a bit to best fit me) BUT it was a fun pattern to create and I love the style of this dress.

My 1965 VW Squareback's Upholstery is Finally Done!




I started this project the end of last year with full intentions of making a patterns out of the old seats and sewing new bangin upholstery for my hot beast. Well... after I completed the driver-side seat I was so over it! Let me tell ya, it is not fun or easy! So, I ordered pre-sewn upholstery from jbugs.com in April this year and didn't get it until 3 months later! I finally motivated myself the beginning if this month to get it done. It took me two days to complete (in my spare time) probably a total of 4 hours. Not bad at all. The hardest part is stretching it on and securing it with the hot rings.











Injuries incurred:


1 cut with scissors on index finger


1 cut on thumb with finger nail


A bunch of sore muscles!





Results:


One happy lady!



See for yourself....
