Laundry time

I had heard of wool dryer balls years ago, but never tried them until my mom gave me some two weeks ago. Even
then I wasn't sure how I'd like them, I pictured the sound of tennis balls banging around in the dryer making an awful lot of noise.
(Plus I don't enjoy staticky clothes, I don't like to fold them or wear them.) Being a gift, I thought I would give them a try and I was excited too. With 7 of us it's not hard to find laundry to do. So the first day I did 5 loads of laundry and was impressed!
The moment I turned on the dryer I was pleasantly surprised with how quiet they were and I had 5 balls in there....and, No static. But I had yet to do towels...the next day a big load of towels went through and when they came out of the dryer I heard a little static crackling, but when I folded them they were good. 
Over the last two weeks the only static I have noticed is right when I pull them out of the dryer with nylon fabric (does anything help with that?!) and my baby's fleece jammies, but when i went to fold them they were just like when I use dryer sheets. So as of now I'm sold! There's only 3 in the picture but my set came with 6 and I use all 6 for each load. I think the more you have the better they work.

coming up

Okay next Saturday the only new soap I'll have is the Lavender soap not the berries and twigs , they aren't ready yet. Plain Sandalwood Vanilla Berries and Twigs are soon to come, I'm making soap this afternoon too... so if there is soap you like let me know so I keep making it. The ones I don't sell well I might stop making unless someone likes it. Also the deodorant still using, still great, I'm going to post a variation for those who have sensitive skin. I haven't tried the lavender oil but as soon as I need to make more I will.

Laundry Soap

Today was the first day at the market! It was good weather , and I did well for the first day. If you are in Logan, every Saturday at Merlin Olsen Park there is the Gardeners Market , come and enjoy! It's were I'll be every Saturday I sell 20% Shae butter soap, Shae helps to not dry your skin out as much as other soaps (only $2.50 for a 4oz bar). Also, Laundry soap. For Laundry soap: 3 C. Borax 2 C. Soda Wash 2 C. Baking Soda 2 C. Laundry bar grated up Mix all in a bucket, it does about 90 loads of laundry use 1/8 c. - 1/4 c. per load. The baking soda should help soften your water but if you want to add oxi clean, that should help if your clothes are dingy. I know there are a lot of different ways to make laundry soap (and you can use my bars in all of them) but this is what I use and like. Let me know how you like it! You can find all this stuff were they sell laundry detergent at the store, the soda wash I haven't found at Wal -Mart but you can find it at Smith'...
