Easy Peasy Pink Face Scrubber Tutorial, Breast Cancer Awareness, October, and Pixie's Birthday!

Let's start from the end of the list and move forward.

Happy Birthday, my beautiful girl!  You don't know it, but you're 9 years old today, and that makes you an old dog.  Wait!  You don't even know you're a dog!  I love you, too!!!  You will get a cupcake today.  I know you love them, and I love you!!  Happy birthday, Miss Pixie Marie!

October:  Today is the first day of October.  Oh, my!

Breast Cancer Awareness:  October is breast cancer awareness month.  Ladies, check your boobies!  If you need a mammogram, get that mammogram.  Take care of your body and your body will take care of you!

Pink!  I resolve that during the month of October I will either wear or use something PINK to remind me and others that we need to get our boobies checked.  So, here's something PINK for you to make.

Easy Peasy Pink Face Scrubber
 Level of difficulty:  easy, beginner, easy peasy

I used sugar and cream 100% cotton yarn.

Use any brand you like, but you do need 100% cotton yarn.

I also used a size G/6 crochet hook.

Begin with a

chain 12
Row 1:  Skip 2 chains, 1 dc in each  chain  (10 dcs)

Row 2 - 11  - Ch. 3, 1 dc in each dc (10 dc)
(Your piece should be, approximately, 3" x 6")

Fold piece together and single crochet two sides together.
Leave one side open.

Weave loose ends into the scrubber.  Tie off.

Leave one side open and slip a small bar of soap inn the pocket.

Now,

use your new pink face scrubber 

and 

get your boobies checked!

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  Do just sit there, take care of those boobies!

What can you do?

1) Monthly self checks are extremely important.
Breast cancer can happen at any age and to both women and men!

HERE is a great link regarding self exams and the subject of breast cancer.

2) Mammograms!

Yes, I know they hurt!  Ouch!  And who likes to think of their boobies being flattened to the height of a pancake.  Well, just put on your big girl panties and do it!

3) Go in for your annual physical.  Okay, it's not fun, but it is one of those necessities of life.  Just do it. 

4) Spread the word.  Remind your family and friends to check their boobies and get a mammogram.  This is so important!  You can fight this cancer!

5)  Take care of yourself.   You are the only you we have.
