A QUICK MID-WEEK HOMEMAKING TIP

I am in the middle of a really busy week for the family! We are preparing for my mother-in-law's auction on Saturday, but I wanted to post a little something while I had a minute!

I discovered a good homemaking tip for those of you who are into "saving money" by drying your clothes the old-fashioned way--on the outdoor clothesline!

I don't know why it has taken me all these years to discover this "no-brainer" idea, but anyway, after about 30 years of almost constant clothesline usage, it finally dawned on me how to avoid an annoying problem. T-shirts always come out with wrinkled clothespin marks after they've hung all day. The only way to rid them of the annoying little puckers and dents where they hung is to iron the pin mark out--or so I thought until last week.....

It finally dawned on me after all this time just how to hang the shirts to avoid this! Take the t-shirt and flop it over the line and place the clothespins at the underarm where the side and underarm seams come together. Any marks left will be "ironed out" by your body heat when you wear the shirt and even if they weren't, they will be unnoticed under the arm! Voila! How come nobody told me this all these 30 years? Hope you enjoy this little helpful hint! See ya' on Founder's Friday! Blessings, LORI
