This Christmas Ornament Dishcloth is double sided.

The double sided effect on this Christmas ornament makes it feel like you are holding a brillo pad. The thirsty cotton yarn is great for washing dishes, and then that bit of Red Heart Scrubby Sparkle Yarn that is used to make the cluster stitches in the center of the bulb, gives you a bit of extra scrubbing power.

You may notice that there is a “Pink” dishcloth.

That is because life has taken a bit of a turn, on my side of the mountain. (I am one year out since my cancer diagnosis)  I was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. The test results are showing good things. I am in the middle of the treatment phase, but I will share my progress in my group on Facebook. In the meantime, I hope you will catch my “Pink” vision and crochet a pink Christmas ornament two, as a tribute to Breast Cancer fighters, victims and survivors. 

I want to give God all honor and praise for the extreme peace he has given me, during this time.

I am still sleeping well and my fear is nonexistent. I truly don’t deserve this gift. It is an extreme blessing, and I can’t thank him enough for this provision in my life. God is so good! Proverbs 3: 5 & 6 KJV
