Wintery Day!

Hopefully no one has come to the shop in the last few days. We have another mini blizzard going on and on top of what we already have, things in Walnut are treacherous! Also, Cheryl has picked up an upper respiratory infection and finally saw the Dr. today and is on medication and is home resting. Such is Winter in Walnut!

In these days of economic distress, I thought it might be fun to share some ideas to help the family budget. Sowaseed-Prior Attire is all about saving $$$ and having fun, so hopefully you will come back and check my tips and ideas.

I found a really cool website that teaches how to make homemade laundry detergent. I made a batch yesterday and would like to share that information. Here is the website information: http://www.thefamilyhomestead.com/laundrysoap.htm

I did use the Fels Naptha soap and it smells wonderful! According to the writer of this recipe, your laundry detergent will only cost about a penney a load. MORE to SPEND in my SHOP...

Also a tip from my sister who has made this soap as well...Store the soap in half gallon or gallon jugs...the texture of the soap is sort of a watery gel, and you will want to be able to shake it up a little before using. I used empty gallon water jugs that I had.


Please let me know if you try this and what you think!
