???????Tis an old deserted homestead
On the outskirts of the town,
Where the roof is all moss-covered,
And the walls are tumbling down;
But around that little cottage
Do my brightest memries cling,
For twas there I spent the moments
Of my youth, lifes happy spring.
On the outskirts of the town,
Where the roof is all moss-covered,
And the walls are tumbling down;
But around that little cottage
Do my brightest memries cling,
For twas there I spent the moments
Of my youth, lifes happy spring.

| homemade citrus soap |
Due to the need for frugality around here and of course my non-stop need to be making something, I decided to try my hand at homemade laundy soap. I already have a whole lot of bar soap from the soapmaking extravagana a few months ago so ?I found this recipe online. If you think you dont have time to do this you are wrong. Its ridiculously easy, you just have to aqcuire something called washing soda, which I bought at my local conventional supermarket.
All Natural Homemade Laundry Soap
hot h2o
1 bar soap
1 cup washing soda
essential oil
-grate the soap and add to a large sauce pan, cover with hot h2o and whisk until dissolved
-fill a bucket or very large bowl with 2.5 gallons of hot h20, add disolved soap and stir well
-add washing soda, stir well until disolved
-cool and add 15-20 drops essential oil of your choice
(* the recipe says that the detergent will gel up after it cools)
I made 1.5 x the recipe and it filled 2 of my extra large Ecos laundry soap containers (6.21 liters each), all for around $2.00 and a half an hour of my time.
Not bad at all. ?
