Inspired by Summer

The glorious summer garden flowers actually inspired me to add to my ever increasing scrubbie selections on Etsy and when Etsy Bloggers asked us to share a summer craft, I chose these flower scrubbie sets.  They come as a set of six as shown in these photos, and also in sets of two.

For those of you who crochet, here's a quick how-to for the flower scrubbies:
Cut 8 yards of nylon netting into 3" strips.  You'll get quite a few out of 8 yard pieces in two colors.

With a J or K hook, Ch 3, join with slip stitch.
Row 1:  Work 6 sc in loop.
Row 2:  Work 2 sc in each sc.
Row 3:  Work 2 sc in each sc.  Join with sl st.
Row 4:  Ch 3, skip next sc, sc in next sc around.  Finish off.

For anyone who crochets, it's super simple!  With a little expert help it's even a great beginner project.  Enjoy!!

P.........resenting: miesmama!

Creative, eclectic, and artistic, Becky of http://miesmama.etsy.com presents her unique items in stunning manners. She is the Etsy Blogger of the month and deserves the accolades she is accumulating. My "new" favorite piece of hers is a fabric wall hanging, surrounded by embroidery hoops and featuring her favorite flower, the cone flower. If you take a few minutes to browse through her shop, you'll see the cone flower theme in several of her items. This would be an eye catching addition to many styles of decor. Congratulations on being the Etsy Blogger and on your wonderful shop!
