Our New Clothes Line

I've been the absent blogger lately. I've been spending my blogging time learning how to create new headers in Picasa. Priorities I know, but I've been having fun and will now be able to change out the blog more frequently.

In other news, the husband created a clothes line that I can put up and then take down when I'm done. It's great. I washed the sheets and hung them up on Saturday and they smell so wonderful. I'm going to try to this more frequently because there is just something about line dried clothes. Now I'm dreaming of fancy clothes pins. I can only find the spring loaded ones. Anyone know where I can get the old fashioned kind without springs?

I have always wanted to line dry my clothes, but we've always lived in apartments. I have a clothes rack and my sister-in-law made fun of us because this rack took up a lot of room in our small CA apartment and took forever to dry. Then we finally moved into a house with our very own yard.

I didn't put one up last year and then I found this article on reasons to line dry. It convinced me and the husband graciously created one for me.

line dried sheets.... sigh. maybe those clothespins could be found at a craft store? preschoolers are always making reindeer crafts out of them.

line drying is the best. I grew up with EVERYTHING being dried on the line (including towels and jeans, during the winter) so grew to hate it. But, I do love the smell...and the economy of line-drying.

I'm pretty sure a craft store will have clothes pins, but make sure they're quality and not just craft-worthy. Bed Bath and Beyond maybe?
