This past weekend hubby had to work all weekend which is fine...Overtime is great when you haven't seen any in awhile. :0) While he was working I did laundry, lots of laundry. All the bedsheets, towels, etc. I do laundry daily and I really don't like to, so I did all of it Saturday so that I can spend a few days not doing it.
Last week we were finally able to put up our second clothesline. I like reading Amish books, in them they do laundry once a week and they have alot larger families than I do. I have done laundry everyday for years, not always but for years. The stories got me to thinking of how big their clotheslines are etc and then I thought why not 2 of them. So hence my want for another clothesline.

See now we have 2 and I was able to do 9 loads of laundry Saturday and put it all away.... Today I did some from this weekend and then I won't again till Friday. I think I will wash Fridays and Monday's. Monday's will be the iron day and the weekend clothing wash.
Saturday I made a batch of homemade laundry soap as well. I haven't since May with all we have had going on I bought some while I was in a hurry. But I missed my homemade and finally things are slowing down to make a batch I loved the soap before we grated it on the counter with the light from the window.

Do you use a clothesline?

What lovely clothes lines! I wish I had a clothes line - and I plan on having one once we have our land. There is nothing like sun drying your clothes! And they smell so good too! Did you make them or buy them? I am hoping to make ours as I've heard it is so much cheaper!
ReplyDeleteI love making our own laundry soap. I use Zote too! I love the smell of it and everything always comes out so nice and clean!
Hope you are well. THANK YOU for the link you emailed me! Hope you are enjoying a blessed day today!
Emily,
ReplyDeleteThey are homemade except the line. I buy the line that is plastic coated wire it lasts much longer and doesn't stretch.
And since I am a do it yourself kinda gal even in skirts. I use all the power tools and have for years. I made both of these myself with recycled wood leftover from barn building, house building, and scraps people were tossing.I actually have made all our clotheslines throughout our marriage of 17 1/2 years each time gets better.
Even the white paint was free it was here when we bought the place. I need to buy a small can to paint the new posts though. I like uniformity and white poles look better.

Yes, I do!
ReplyDeleteMy husband made me one this summer and I just think it is the best gift he could have given me...better than diamonds :)
I use it everyday. I wash daily and the clothes just seem to dry so much better and last longer when they are dried naturally by the sun.
Blessings,

Maria,
ReplyDeleteI agree! My hubby gave me an ironing board once for Mother's Day. I needed one and he knew it. I love presents I can use or need. He gave me diamond earrings once, I love them don't get me wrong sweety, since I know you'll read this. But I am practical I love things I will use and are useful and I like it to be simple and basic.
