I Performed a Miracle :-)

And I have pictures to prove it !!!

I recently watched a tutorial on youtube from jenmarissa, showing how to make a laundry board.  At first I didn't take much interest in it, because I don't really have a laundry problem.  However; when I walked into my parents room and saw my Dad's dresser, I was reminded of his weakness... folding laundry and putting it away.


Almost immediately, her tutorial popped into my head.

So I made a laundry board, and I have to say...
I LOVE IT. I totally want to make one for our house when I get back.  I love how it makes everything the same size, and everything fits in your drawers just right.  It is easy to make and easier to use.

Here is the MIRACLE:

Before... I had already taken everything off of the top shelf.
 FYI: The top shelf alone was 2 black garbage bags full of shirts...WOW

After, I can hear Angels singing The Hallelujah Chorus :-)

So there you go, I am a laundry board convert.

Flats and Handwashing Challenge...Day 7

Finally, the pictures  I promised.  These were taken with  a camera phone, not too shabby.

Here is the Bucket Washer that I made.  I didn't bother scraping the dried cement off of the outside, but I assure you, the inside is squeaky clean.

Almost clean.

Hooray for Rockin' Green Orangevana....smells soooooo good.

"T-shirt" Flats Hanging in the sun...I had to run out 5 minutes later,,, Hurricane season has not given me a break this week.

Thank God for a drying rack.

The 2 rows of snaps on the Bg's helped keep the diaper from drooping below Ivan's tummy.

Fb's drooped a bit.

We did it.  One whole week of Flats and Handwashing.
I was tempted to cheat today, Sundays are non stop for us and I woke up feeling crappy, but we did it... how could I give up with just a few more hours to go.

This was a definite learning experience and  I am very thankful for the convenience of modern cloth diapers and washing machines !!!
