Oh yeah, every time I wash my clothes at my mom's I have to hang them on lines since she doesn't have a dryer, and if the weather allows it then I love hanging my clothes out on the laundry lines outside in her garden. Especially in spring and summer. It just gives a very nice feel and scent to the clothes when they've hung in the soft breeze like that in my opinion. Even more so out by my grandparents cabin by the sea. It's a bit tricky to explain, but when the laundry has hung outside by the cabin they take on this scent of salty water, pine, rosehip and honeysuckle that I just ADORE. It's just such a nice and nostalgic scent to me. It brings back so many fun and lovely memories of time spent there through the years~ Also, my favorite fabric softener has the scent of honeysuckle and sandalwood, and it smells A-ma-zing!
Yes 👍 back here in the Philippines, we still do hang our clothes in the laundry line. Makes the clothes smell like sunshine 🤗🌞 Btw, a red barn inspired soap would be nice 🙂 that barn of yours is really cool ☺️
I’m Australian & we have a famous clothes line called “The Hurl’s Hoist”. It’s an umbrella shaped metal frame with multiple clothes lines on it like a spiderweb. You can raise & lower it to catch the breeze (& keep your clean clothes safe from contamination by your kids & pets running around the backyard). You can also turn it by a wheel on the centre pole so you can stand in one spot & fill the whole thing without having to move around & around. Growing up we used it partially as a jungle gym 😂
I love that you home school. I do, too. I'm on year 19 of home schooling my 5 kids. The oldest is a Wildland Firefighter and volunteer structural Firefighter. My second oldest is in college, my 3rd graduates high school this June. My 4th is finishing his 9th grade year and my youngest is finishing 5th grade. ❤❤❤ I love that you are teaching yourself with your kids as well. You rock!
I had a clothesline for most of my childhood (mid-nineties and early 2000’s!). I have vivid memories of hanging clothes on the line. As a baby I even had a swing that was attached to it! And then as I got a little bit older the neighborhood kids and I would hang sheets from it to use as theater curtains and put on little shows for our parents 😊 ugh such good times!
Line: about 99.5% of my life. 😂 I'm Puerto Rican, even with a dryer, I prefer what our mother's way. Line, even in rain, under a roof, of course. 😂 🤷🏻♀️❤🇵🇷
Tbh as someone who lived in Alaska and Oklahoma, winter in the north is 1000 times better than in the south for me. Im absolutely biased because i love Alaska, but the snow changes everything. We had a big pile outside our house every year that my dad would throw us in and all the hills in our neighborhood made it really fun to sled down them.
I hang clothes on the line all the time because my kids have stained shirts constantly and the sun works wonders! I also cloth diaper and hang the parts that can't go in the dryer. By the way, I learned that crunchy clothes can be caused by using too much laundry detergent. My clothes and towels are so much softer now that there isn't a bunch of detergent residue in them.
Clotheslines have been in and out of my life for all of my 52 years. My husband just built me my most recent one here in Alabama about a month ago, and I am loving it. Can't wait to see how much electricity it saves by not using my dryer. The soap is beautiful as always.
We know how you feel Katie!! Here in Montreal they say we have 2 seasons - Winter and Construction 🤣... it goes from insanely cold to hot and humid ... tons of snow followed by tons of orange cones!!
OMG I've been watching you since before Lily was born, time goes by so quick. I enjoy your positive attitude so much it can take me out of a funk so thank you for that.
I must speak up. Winter is my favorite time of year. The sadness you mentioned you feel during winter, I feel that same way during summer. I hate it!! 😢
If the stamp improves after the first few stampings, you could stamp the end pieces so that it's mostly primed when you get to the full size bars. Not sure how much of an issue it is; just a thought I had 😊 beautiful design!
Katie - you need to watch Garden Answer here on YT. Laura is ammmaaazzziingggggg. She has a huge property and part of it she is building from scratch and she has planted over 5000 bulbs over the last 2 years.
Yes, we had a line. I was raised very old school. We loved the job of handing Mother the clothes pins. 😆 We eventually purchased machines. It's brings back great memories, especially if there was rain. The collective would race out to get clothes before they were drenched.
Growing up, I remember we tried a laundry line in Virginia, but not was too humid! Now I live in QLD Australia, and line drying is the norm here. Unfortunately my chronic illness doesn't allow that often, so I have a dryer and use it regularly. The Summer sun is also way too strong here, and when I have put laundry on the line, it has gotten sun bleached really fast because our line is in full sun. So I use folding clothes airers on our covered patio when I don't use the dryer.
I love the spring flowers that grow out of bulbs and their mini variety. Crocusses, daffodils, Hyazinths, ... it's my favourite part of spring to see the start to bloom. Edit: Love the soap and the stamp
I know what you mean about winter. I have S.A.D. I think you mentioned you have it too, but you didn't call it by that name. I've been soaping all winter to get my mind off the horrible weather up here in Ohio and the passing of my mother 2 years ago St. Patrick's Day. You did recently mention you no longer use that tip, lol. :) Hey, it is the perfect tip for that & marshmallow fluffy stuff, etc. Love the soap & I have noticed that the weird thing amongst soap makers is still going on. I am on day *I don't even know right now* of building a my first landscape soap, LOL! I have the hugest embed & had to build up my mold. Literally. If it turns out well, I'll post a picture. :) Have a great night & hold your family tight. Time passes all too quickly.
I love the outdoor outro/intro! It is just soo cute 😊. Also fit great with the soap, but I think it could work for most of your soap videos. Would love to see more 😊.
There's nothing quite like the feel and smell of line dried sheets! Towels I prefer in the dryer, but I don't mind line dried clothes. I planted dahlias and lavender in 2 large pots the previous owner of our house left. There's about a dozen dahlias that have finally sprouted! I'm sure I over planted, but 🤷♀️. And might I say that this soap is adorable!
I love your backdrop of the barn, pretty yellow flowers, and green everywhere. True Texas country. I have family in Cheek and love, love, the feel of driving around there. Thanks Katie! This brings back so many memories, ; )
You have grass, breeze and bulbs... and we got both rain AND snow yesterday... My grandparents had a clothesline in Wisconsin. I plan on hanging one in my office to dry dyed yarn. When we get a new house where I can set up a dye studio, I'll be putting up several of them!
In Australia you only use the dryer if it's raining and you can't wait for a clear day to do laundry! Every single house comes with a clothes line, and if you live in an apartment, chances are you own a fold up rack called a Clothes Horse! Unfortunately it isn't shaped like a horse, but they do the trick. Clean linen is one of my favourite scents, and fluffy clouds in a bright blue sky are a perfect match, that's exactly what i see in my mind when smelling fresh laundry. Love it!
Here in California our first day of Spring was nice, sunny, windy. Next day pouring rain, snowing up in the mountains, and it's suppose to stay dreary a bit longer. I'm looking forward to some warm and breezy days.
I hang out my washing always on a line as most of my clothes can’t go in the dryer. I can’t stand it when we have rain weeks on end because I can’t dry my clothes. I pretty much only use the dryer for towels if it hasn’t stopped raining. It’s the best feeling after a shower fresh towels from the line sometimes they’re even scratchy ooohh it’s so lovely. Cheers cherieK 🦋🌈🐿🇦🇺
You have got to go to Mrs. Lee's Daffodil Garden. Take your little ones. You will get some great pictures. It's in Gladewater which should be an easy day trip for you. The soap is beautiful! What do you think about placing the clouds on the sides of the frosting horizontally.
In Australia it's normal to put your washing on the hills hoist washing line. I struggle with chronic pain so outside clothes are either I'm having a good day or my husband put it out. Out sheets are normally hung outside. Soon I'll be doing all our winter blankets. I'm lucky my dogs don't think washing is a toy. Lol
I grew up helping my grandma put things on the line during the summer. I also use a line some as an adult. The only item I would rather have in a dryer is towels they're softer that way.
So pretty!!! Also Katie you’re making me miss Texas spring, so much. I have hung clothes to dry, but never on a line. I’d love to put one up when I eventually own my own home, assuming I don’t run into any regulations against it. I only recently learned that some places in the US do not allow you to line dry laundry out of doors!
Oh I feel the same way about spring and summer ! And I think that is precisely WHY halloween and new year's eve are my favorite holidays of all. It gives me something to be excited about in the gloomiest months of the year in my country 😁 planning and decorating just keeps me going through autumn and winter
I live in Aotearoa, (New Zealand) and hanging clothing out side to dry is the standard way to dry out clothing. also i woudl recommend using less (like half the mount) of laundry detergent if yours feel crunch when you dry them on the line.. :) that soap though its so cool looking and i bet it smells wonderful. ♥♥
When I was younger my mom put up a line to dry clothes. My family is from Jamaica, so most people there dry their clothes on a line. Also, when I would visit my aunt and uncle in Long Island, NY from Canada they didn’t use their washer and dryer in the summer. So, I washed by hand and dried clothes on a line. I’ve done that on my more recent trips to Ghana. Love the smell and that soap. 🥰
I have some linen sheets, and those kinda have to air dry. I'm just glad we have a big pvc pipe thingy to dry them on- it was originally intended for pool towels, but I think it got used for that maybe twice? It's just our outdoor laundry rack to me now!
Laundry lines from April to October. November to March is winter time here, clothes would just freeze. Hanging the clothes on the line my my favourite chore, there is something very relaxing in it for my brain because I have to sort the clothes to hang them in a specific length order so they wont rub on the top of my shed, since the line passes over it. Also on very hot summer days, the clothes dry faster on the line then in the dryer. And it's free to use the clothes line. When we were looking for a house, the ability to have a clothe line was mandatory for me and it was a plus if there was already one present.
In South Africa we still hang on lines. I especially live to hang them the day after we have to trim some of the grass from the pasture that overgrown into our yard.. The fresh smells as I get to be in the sun is always very calming
Those clouds😍 I line dry *nearly* all my laundry (except socks, don't have the patience for that) but even knitwear that needs to dry flat I try to spread out on towels outside. Just because of how fresh and clean and nice they smell! Most perfumes give me headaches, so I only use unscented detergent and can't get 'sunshine and wind' from a bottle... as a bonus I save energy and have less contact with chemicals. Thankfully I live in a place where there aren't any poisonous bugs to worry about and this is considered normal behaviour😅
I'm from Australia & now live in Czechia, & I've always hung my clothes outside, either on a Hills Hoist (an Australian icon), or lines or a clothes horse on my balcony. I would have thought the Texas climate would be great for outside drying. You can avoid the stiffness if you put your line or rack in the shade.
Yes I still hang my clothes on the line because I don't own (nor do I want to own!) a dryer! Sun dried clothes are just lovely, they smell great and feel fresher somehow. I've always found dryers make things feel crispy rather than drying things outside. Here in the UK we get maaaybe a good 6 months of outdoor drying buy my inlaws in Australia do it all year around!
Yess!! Fantastic!! I actually have a garden now so can't wait for nicer weather so I can hang washing outside...atm it's still pretty cold and rainy here in UK
Just adorable, and the colours are perfect. My grandmother used to have an old-fashioned 'umbrella' to hang clothes from, and I agree the smell is wonderful, but the anxiety around the weather maybe less so...
I absolutely LOVE hanging my clothes outdoors! Did it for many years. I am in an apt for now, I do have a clothing hanging rack and I do Stull periodically do it. As for the outdoor intro, YES Please!!!!
My mom grew up on a farm in Tennessee, but moved to California when she married my dad. We had a big backyard, so there was always a big garden and fruit trees and clothes line to hang our laundry out on. And she still hangs her clothes outside today. Love the way they smell.
9:46 Me too! Katie!! Me too! I've been so down in the dumps and even though it's been quite chilly the last few days here (west TN) we had some absolutely gorgeous days recently!!
My mom would hang clothes out on the laundry line when I was a little kid to save money and the clothes always smelled so clean and fresh, especially the sheets. I loved having fresh sheets on my bed that hand been hanging in the sun earlier in the day. Going right now to purchase this soap, I'm so excited to get it.
As someone who lived in Hawaii, I missed having 4 seasons. It's basically summer all year (which I'm not completely complaining about) but it's like a 10-15 degree difference. Don't get me wrong, I LOVED being able to hike all year round. But I missed snow or at least cold weather at Christmas. Variation is nice for the soul.
I've never put laundry out to dry but every couple of months my family puts our blankets out in the sun for a day and they always have a warm sunshine-y smell after. Love this soap :)
This is an adorable soap. I love the tip you used for frosting, perfect for clouds. I used to line dry all of our cloth diapers when the weather and time allowed.
My mother swore that was why neither of her kids had diaper rash. (bro and I 60's babies) Said the sunshine deodorized and the bleach killed the badies. 👌
Friom the UK and line in spring, summer and autumn when the weather allows! dryers are like a 50/50 chance of someone owning one, but in summer most hang clothes on the line! definitely feels and smells much better and less of a need to air the clothes in airing cupboards! the outside world did that :D
I didn’t have a dryer until a couple of years ago, but it’s still really expensive to run it, so I often do a midweek laundry that I hang outside in my patio, and I hang all my clothes on the line from the moment it gets warm up until they don’t dry fast enough again. I feel like it’s good for the clothes and also very good for avoiding static on many materials. Plus the smell, as you said, divine.
I’ve never hung anything outside, but I do still hang my office tops straight out of the washer and then turn on a fan to air dry them. They last much longer. I just tried your soap today for the first time, and it is AMAZING. I love watching soap making, but I have always hated using actual soap. Didn’t matter what type or brand, it always made my skin feel gross. I got a set of your sample bars and tried one tonight. My skin just feels soft and clean. I’m pretty excited - I can actually use your soaps now instead of just watching you make them, lol!
if it takes 1 or 2 stamps to get the thing to work - you should stamp the end piece samples and then your bars per slab. also curious on yellow or dark blue color stamps if you redo it.
Katie, the info for today's video is for another video. I really wanted to find that glitter. Is it: Radio Stars Holographic Biodegradable Glitter Mix? :) Love this soap. Yes, I used to hang my stuff to dry as a kid.
Oh my gosh the kids have gotten so big!!!! I was here when will was born so I'm a little shock I've been watching you for 4 years it doesn't feel like it!
Have done the line often. But I draw the line at towels and delicates including socks. Generally the stiffness in clothes goes away after a few moments of wear, but not tolerable for all items 😂.
When we would visit family in Puerto Rico, we would only dry our laundry on a line. It was fun. You had to get used to the fabric feeling different but, I loved helping pin up the close on a line. Unless it started to rain. Lol
We used a clothesline when I was growing up. It's definitely a nice experience. The more wind there is, the less stiff the clothes are when you take them down. You NAILED the soap!! It is so gorgeous!! What are the darker blue dots in the frosting?
Thank you! Those are blue jojoba beads. I got too distracted by the frosting and talking about my flowers to actually talk about the fun thing IN the frosting. lol Jojoba beads are just a gentle exfoliant with more character than apricot seed powder or coconut husk powder.
Oh yeah, every time I wash my clothes at my mom's I have to hang them on lines since she doesn't have a dryer, and if the weather allows it then I love hanging my clothes out on the laundry lines outside in her garden.

It's just such a nice and nostalgic scent to me. It brings back so many fun and lovely memories of time spent there through the years~
Also, my favorite fabric softener has the scent of honeysuckle and sandalwood, and it smells A-ma-zing!
Yes 👍 back here in the Philippines, we still do hang our clothes in the laundry line. Makes the clothes smell like sunshine 🤗🌞
Btw, a red barn inspired soap would be nice 🙂 that barn of yours is really cool ☺️
I never thought I would ever say “I have barn envy”. Gorgeous property and absolutely love the daffodils 💕
I’m Australian & we have a famous clothes line called “The Hurl’s Hoist”. It’s an umbrella shaped metal frame with multiple clothes lines on it like a spiderweb. You can raise & lower it to catch the breeze (& keep your clean clothes safe from contamination by your kids & pets running around the backyard). You can also turn it by a wheel on the centre pole so you can stand in one spot & fill the whole thing without having to move around & around. Growing up we used it partially as a jungle gym 😂
I love that you home school. I do, too. I'm on year 19 of home schooling my 5 kids. The oldest is a Wildland Firefighter and volunteer structural Firefighter.

And then as I got a little bit older the neighborhood kids and I would hang sheets from it to use as theater curtains and put on little shows for our parents 😊 ugh such good times!
This soap makes me so happy. I love the grass, I love the clouds, I love it!!

😂 i get you! 🇵🇷
Another Boriqua here. Always line dry at Abuela's house!
I got in the habit of line drying in California, but now I live in South Dakota, and it is too cold a huge portion of the year! 😥
I'm Romanian and I agree with you.
Yes, me too here in Mexico. Better for the environment too
The clothesline is very, very cute! Another cute idea for that soap would be a little kite. 🪁
Tbh as someone who lived in Alaska and Oklahoma, winter in the north is 1000 times better than in the south for me. Im absolutely biased because i love Alaska, but the snow changes everything.

That frosted top color is gorgeous!!
We know how you feel Katie!! Here in Montreal they say we have 2 seasons - Winter and Construction 🤣... it goes from insanely cold to hot and humid ... tons of snow followed by tons of orange cones!!
I live in Czechia, & it's the same. The minute the weather is over freezing, every road & town square gets dug up...
I love all bulb flowers. They are so beautiful and easy. I also have issues with the light. This soap has some of my favorite colors.
I love those clouds! It reminds me of Toy Story. Something to keep in mind for your Pixar-inspired collection. :)
OMG I've been watching you since before Lily was born, time goes by so quick. I enjoy your positive attitude so much it can take me out of a funk so thank you for that.
I must speak up. Winter is my favorite time of year. The sadness you mentioned you feel during winter, I feel that same way during summer. I hate it!! 😢

Not sure if there's a new mic in use or what, but that audio is SUPER crisp! 🌟 And the soaps look great as always! 💙💛
Yay, thank you!
Yes, we had a line. I was raised very old school. We loved the job of handing Mother the clothes pins. 😆 We eventually purchased machines. It's brings back great memories, especially if there was rain. The collective would race out to get clothes before they were drenched.
I love the round tip. They look like shiny little marshmallow blobs. Such pleasing little friend fluffs.

I love the clean cotton scent . Been wanting you to do some. YAY KATIE!! Can’t wait to get mine!!
I agree…. Nothing like clothes dried on a line! Love this one! 😊❤
I’m so excited for this launch! Anything crisp cotton or laundry related scent wise just speaks to my heart 😂 Great job as always Katie!

We love using the clothes line in the warmer months
I'm in Queensland Australia and it's autumn and stinkin hot still. Last week we hit 39°c (about 102farenheit)
I'm totally over it! Bring on winter ☃️
I use laundry lines always...it saves on utilities and my clothes smell incredible!😇❤️
You have grass, breeze and bulbs... and we got both rain AND snow yesterday... My grandparents had a clothesline in Wisconsin. I plan on hanging one in my office to dry dyed yarn. When we get a new house where I can set up a dye studio, I'll be putting up several of them!

Ack! Radio Stars looks so pretty on this beautiful soap!! 🤩🤩 I love the sparkle of glitter so much that I can't hardly stand it sometimes. 😄
So pretty!!! Also Katie you’re making me miss Texas spring, so much. I have hung clothes to dry, but never on a line. I’d love to put one up when I eventually own my own home, assuming I don’t run into any regulations against it. I only recently learned that some places in the US do not allow you to line dry laundry out of doors!
Our HOA out here in Fort Worth doesn’t allow laundry lines…considers them an eyesore 🤪

In the summer we do. Winter we’d have to defrost them first. (Midwest cold)
Absolutely, I've done both. OMG those clothes are really scratchy. Thanks so much for sharing, this soap is so cute.
In South Africa we still hang on lines. I especially live to hang them the day after we have to trim some of the grass from the pasture that overgrown into our yard.. The fresh smells as I get to be in the sun is always very calming
Nothing smells better than bed sheets that have been hung outside to dry. That is my favorite smell!
Those clouds😍

Here in the UK we get maaaybe a good 6 months of outdoor drying buy my inlaws in Australia do it all year around!
I hang mine out all the time. They smell so fresh. This soap is so cute one of my favorites for sure.
I would too is we did not have 6 months of winter where I live.
Yes sheets dried on the like are soooo nice!
Yess!! Fantastic!! I actually have a garden now so can't wait for nicer weather so I can hang washing outside...atm it's still pretty cold and rainy here in UK
I’ve never used a clothes line before, but I do air dry a lot of my clothes, just on the back of a chair in the family room lol
I love the red barn and daffodils 🌸 so pretty with this beautiful soap. Def getting Bob Ross little happy clouds feelings 😍🥰 ☺️
Just adorable, and the colours are perfect. My grandmother used to have an old-fashioned 'umbrella' to hang clothes from, and I agree the smell is wonderful, but the anxiety around the weather maybe less so...
The anxiety is the main thing for me. We had a line when we were kids and we came out so many times to spiderwebs everywhere! 😅
I absolutely LOVE hanging my clothes outdoors! Did it for many years. I am in an apt for now, I do have a clothing hanging rack and I do Stull periodically do it. As for the outdoor intro, YES Please!!!!
My mom grew up on a farm in Tennessee, but moved to California when she married my dad. We had a big backyard, so there was always a big garden and fruit trees and clothes line to hang our laundry out on. And she still hangs her clothes outside today. Love the way they smell.
Hmm still to cold for flowers here! Your yard looks beautiful! Oh n the soap is great
Here in alberta we just had another snowfall ...
So jealous of your flowers 💐
Those are so cute and yes, I have hung many, many, MANY, clothes on the line ❤
That BB fragrance also holds its scent very well in cured soap. I love it!
9:46 Me too! Katie!! Me too! I've been so down in the dumps and even though it's been quite chilly the last few days here (west TN) we had some absolutely gorgeous days recently!!
I love the fresh smell when ,laundry has dried on a line. Can’t wait to do this. It doesn’t over dry here in the uk.
My mom would hang clothes out on the laundry line when I was a little kid to save money and the clothes always smelled so clean and fresh, especially the sheets. I loved having fresh sheets on my bed that hand been hanging in the sun earlier in the day. Going right now to purchase this soap, I'm so excited to get it.
I love hanging clothes outside in the winter. When it’s freezing and dry. It’s awesome how it feels after drying in that weather
As someone who lived in Hawaii, I missed having 4 seasons. It's basically summer all year (which I'm not completely complaining about) but it's like a 10-15 degree difference.
Don't get me wrong, I LOVED being able to hike all year round. But I missed snow or at least cold weather at Christmas. Variation is nice for the soul.
I've never put laundry out to dry but every couple of months my family puts our blankets out in the sun for a day and they always have a warm sunshine-y smell after. Love this soap :)
This is an adorable soap. I love the tip you used for frosting, perfect for clouds. I used to line dry all of our cloth diapers when the weather and time allowed.
My mother swore that was why neither of her kids had diaper rash. (bro and I 60's babies) Said the sunshine deodorized and the bleach killed the badies. 👌
Yes, line dry those diapers.
Friom the UK and line in spring, summer and autumn when the weather allows! dryers are like a 50/50 chance of someone owning one, but in summer most hang clothes on the line! definitely feels and smells much better and less of a need to air the clothes in airing cupboards! the outside world did that :D
I wish I had seen this soap back when it was available! I would have loved it!
I didn’t have a dryer until a couple of years ago, but it’s still really expensive to run it, so I often do a midweek laundry that I hang outside in my patio, and I hang all my clothes on the line from the moment it gets warm up until they don’t dry fast enough again. I feel like it’s good for the clothes and also very good for avoiding static on many materials. Plus the smell, as you said, divine.
I use the clothesline in the summer - here in rural Minnesota it is not uncommon. Pretty soap! I actually liked it better without the stamp.
I live in Wichita Falls, TX for many years and always hung up the clothes. They dried so fast and smelled so good!
I’ve never hung anything outside, but I do still hang my office tops straight out of the washer and then turn on a fan to air dry them. They last much longer.
I just tried your soap today for the first time, and it is AMAZING. I love watching soap making, but I have always hated using actual soap. Didn’t matter what type or brand, it always made my skin feel gross. I got a set of your sample bars and tried one tonight. My skin just feels soft and clean. I’m pretty excited - I can actually use your soaps now instead of just watching you make them, lol!
Texas girl here but currently living out of state for grad school. Hearing you say “tump” was a surprising sweet little piece of home. 🥰
Love this! Sooo adorable! I'm sure it smells great!
I love this bar design. It's so cute!
if it takes 1 or 2 stamps to get the thing to work - you should stamp the end piece samples and then your bars per slab. also curious on yellow or dark blue color stamps if you redo it.
Katie, the info for today's video is for another video. I really wanted to find that glitter. Is it: Radio Stars Holographic Biodegradable Glitter Mix? :) Love this soap. Yes, I used to hang my stuff to dry as a kid.
Oh my gosh the kids have gotten so big!!!! I was here when will was born so I'm a little shock I've been watching you for 4 years it doesn't feel like it!
Have done the line often.
But I draw the line at towels and delicates including socks.
Generally the stiffness in clothes goes away after a few moments of wear, but not tolerable for all items 😂.
When we would visit family in Puerto Rico, we would only dry our laundry on a line. It was fun. You had to get used to the fabric feeling different but, I loved helping pin up the close on a line. Unless it started to rain. Lol
I started line drying last year and I love it. However, living in Oregon, on a small property, I can only really do it late spring-Summer.
Wonderful introduction. Beautiful daffodils.
We used a clothesline when I was growing up. It's definitely a nice experience. The more wind there is, the less stiff the clothes are when you take them down.
You NAILED the soap!! It is so gorgeous!! What are the darker blue dots in the frosting?
Thank you! Those are blue jojoba beads. I got too distracted by the frosting and talking about my flowers to actually talk about the fun thing IN the frosting. lol
Jojoba beads are just a gentle exfoliant with more character than apricot seed powder or coconut husk powder.
Thank you for the great video 🤩. I am really excited for spring 🌼🌸🌻
This is my favorite soap you've made so far 💖
I looooooooooove when you do fork textures~ I'd love to see more!
Absolutely LOVE clothes hung outside. ❤️ Haven't hung any out in a long time. I don't have a clothesline where I live now. 😢
