Laundry Room Tricks

Well now, what have we here?  Oh, it's a dryer sheet stuck to my pants.   At least I found this one before I finished dressing.  There have been a few times that I didn't know I had one hanging out of my shirttail or pant leg until Con spotted it.  I find them stuck to towels and sheets and underwear.  And I find them on the white tile floor of the laundry room.  Since the floor tile is white and the dryer sheet is white -- I don't always see them until I find myself skating across the floor grasping for the counter while swearing up a storm. They are a health hazard in more ways than one.

I shouldn't have them around at all.  There are many benefits to the lavender-filled dryer bags that I make and I do use them most of the time. They are a popular sales item.  Some customers have been buying them from me since I started making them several years ago.  They really like them, and I do too.

But  I just don't fully wean myself from the sheets because I often don't have time (ok, don't take the time) to replenish my stock of lavender bags for home. And rather than stitch up a batch for myself, I reach for the convenient dryer sheets ...  resulting in the "dryer sheet up the pant leg trick."      2 12 14
