  1. Rachel,
    Just wanted to say “Thank You” for your generous offers. I sure appreciate them.
    I learned to make a scrubby from your pattern about two years ago. It came out
    ok. I wanted it for the kitchen for dishes. It worked. Since then I had an acquaintance
    show me one just a little thicker and have made many since. But you got me started
    with clear direction. I do need clear directions. I’m still a beginner. I have always had
    trouble following directions. So clear and precise is so necessary for me.
    Thank you again. I love your website. Thank you for your kindness. Marianne
