A well written tutorial is worth its weight in gold. Gold prices consistently go up in this unstable economy. For knitting, crochet, and similar, there's the String Theory pinboard. If it's beaded, try Bead Lust. Plenty of great ideas, patterns and techniques can be found on Creative Pursuits. Enjoy! <3 =)

Take your favorite liquid fabric softener and soak an old hand towel or flour cloth completely with it. Wring it out and let it dry completely, then throw it in with your next load. This mega-fabric softener sheet should be good for at least 40 loads of laundry, stretching out softener use and lessening waste. In other words, save money.

Robinmarie Vabolis Fabric softener is made mostly of horse fat and chemical fragrances. I'm sure there's a nicer alternative that could be used in this same way. I may try it:)

fugitive247 @Robinmarie Vabolis Interesting. I wasn't aware of the components. I'm just tired of finding bazillions used dryer sheets, and winter will be here before we know it. Static cling discharge fries more electronics during cold months, ya know?

Robinmarie Vabolis Yes, those dryer sheets are a pain. I used to always find them in my pant legs and such, but only after I'd gotten to work or something. I've been using those Purex crystals, they're only 92% natural and no horsefat but I like it a lot. When I find a great natural recipe for this project i will let you know. :)

The "Bush Bar" is an effective way of storing an emergency strip of rope. It's thinner and easier to tie than other bars, while still maintaining a clean polished overall look. #DIY #tutorials

For narrower spaces, multiple lines could be strung according to size (ex. His, Hers, Kids).
