Made my own laundry detergent. For about $10, I probably have enough detergent for a year. And it smells good. Can't beat that.
Got the idea from Pinterest but got the specific recipe from ehow.
It's pretty much a 1:1 ratio of washing soda and borax blended with a grated bar of laudry soap (fels-napatha or zote).
I used 1 cup each of borax and washing soda and 1 bar of fels napatha. Put 2 tbls. of the mix into the washer for each load. This will probably last me for a few months and then I'll make more. The only boxes that Wal-Mart had were pretty big, so I have a lot left over. I put the mixture in an old plastic ice cream container I had.
If I would have known it was that easy to make, I would have done that years ago.
Oh, and the taxes got done today as well. Woo hoo! Look at me, finished two projects!
Next up:
1. Refinish the dresser
2. Make these two shirts I've been drooling over
3. Finish the quilts for the nieces and nephews
4. Make a coffee table
4a. Make Frames for my paintings and crayon art.
5. Start Remodeling the kitchen (this will probably end up as number 7, 8, or 9 because it's a big project).
6. Make outside patio furniture
7. Make farmhouse table
8. Make king size bed frame for possible new king size bed
9. Landscaping (this should probably be #1) stupid HOA, think they own everyone. The lawns mowed and de weeder has been layed down. And nowhere in the deed restrictions does it say I cannot have flower pots on the front porch, so they will be remaining there for the time being.
