Bathroom Scrubbies

Let's write a post about cleaning. Isn't that exciting. I haven't blog in for-ev-er and I want to talk about cleaning. I'll start with the fun side of cleaning... knitting!Knitted Bath Scrubbies! I took this pattern, which is actually for dish scrubbies, and made them for the shower instead. Basically it is some kitchen cotton and a couple of bath loofahs that fell apart. The biggest part of this project was cutting the tulle and tying it into strips to be knit up. I held the cotton and tulle together and just knit a square. I made a little border around the edge by not knitting the tulle with the first and last stitches. These are actually pretty great. And they haven't gotten smelly, yet. It must be all the Strawberry Swirl and Sorbet Smoothie bath wash that Chiquita uses.

To me they look like watermelon and kiwi strawberry bubble gum. You know, the Bubblicious brand bubble gums. My favorite thing about Bubblicious Gum is that they have two colors in each piece. The thing I like the least about Bubblicious Gum, or any gum for that matter, I always seem to bite my cheek. You think I would remember that it's there. So, I just don't chew gum anymore.

Now I get to transition into the less fun side of being cleaning. I've been cleaning out my house. Everything is getting scrubbed, there are things going to Goodwill, but mostly everything is being packed up into boxes. Boxes? you ask. Have I neglected to mention that my little family is moving. Geez... you'd think I would blog more often. I've been busy. Chicklet is sleeping on my lap as I write this and I should be packing or cleaning, but I'm taking a break. Knitting has come to a complete stop, not that I would blog about it. (I have a ton of catchup blogging to do just in the knitting dept).

We are moving. We're leaving the busy, crowded life of LA and heading to San Diego. Moving out of our tiny apartment, that we needed to move out of now that Chicklet is here, and into a house. Yes, a house. With a backyard, a dishwasher and room for kids to play inside. And our own driveway. My own parking spot that no one else is allowed to park in and no one will yell at me for parking there. I've been living in an apartment for the last twelve years. I can't wait until I don't have to check my quarter supply before doing laundry. It's going to be so wonderful. After I pack everything, clean everything, move everything, unpack everything. Sigh, the joys of moving. I know you are insanely jealous.

There is one more aspect of cleaning that I've been having fun with. Exploding diapers. There have only been a few of them, but thank you Simple Green. It gets poop stains out of everything. Just thought I would share.
