What's that???
I iron a few things -...Ironing? What's that???<br /><br />I iron a few things - mostly the front button-bit of hubby's work shirts and a few of my own blouses. For the most part I find that a shirt looks about the same after it's been worn for an hour whether it has been ironed or not! Good thing hubby agrees with me :)Jenyfer Matthewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10769550148821002722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-39853107657032479882010-11-30T14:26:33.435-06:002010-11-30T14:26:33.435-06:00Jen - So do you iron garments after they line dry?...Jen - So do you iron garments after they line dry?

I have a great drying rack that holds a lot - BUT it stands in my room most of the time and isn't a beautiful thing. I do like line drying however. The clothes seem to last longer that way.Jenyfer Matthewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10769550148821002722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-60979882014332949212010-11-29T19:16:59.058-06:002010-11-29T19:16:59.058-06:00Leigh - Just goes to show that where's there&#...Leigh - Just goes to show that where's there's a will, there's a way. I guess we've all had to do things like that . . . not that I'd want to go back to some of them, but it didn't kill us, did it? ;o)Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-6089635101721745702010-11-29T18:10:48.677-06:002010-11-29T18:10:48.677-06:00Oh!

To dry socks and underwear, I would hang them from the ceiling fan and turn it on. Medium speed worked well. :)Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-64815704094311158332010-11-29T18:08:15.895-06:002010-11-29T18:08:15.895-06:00Susan - My bestest of best folding racks is a wood...Susan - My bestest of best folding racks is a wooden one I bought a thousand years ago at a farm auction. It stands almost 5' tall when unfolded and you would be AMAZED at how much I can hang on it. (I got it for $7!) I don't think they make 'em like that anymore.<br /><br />Jane - You can find a place for one, I just know it!<br /><br />Sue - Yes, it would be perfect in a kitchen. No room in my tiny kitchen now but maybe when we get the remodeling done. (That'll be right after we win the lottery.)<br /><br />APG - Right! All those "unmentionables" that "end up not holding (UP!) what they are supposed to." :o)<br /><br />Erin - Get a patent on it when he builds it. We all need something like that!<br /><br />Lorie - Thanks, Lorie. I like the looks of the "sleeping" garden, too.Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-9937550080685274472010-11-29T17:57:22.640-06:002010-11-29T17:57:22.640-06:00Yep, I think that was a great find.

Glad your daughter could make it even if it was cut short.

I have regular racks and have to stack and lean and undo, and redo. What a great invention. I tend to drape laundry on anything out of kitten range to dry it.
