My craft for today is homemade laundry detergent. It's alright you can call me weird. I don't know why I wanted to try it. It definitely cheaper and all natural (minus the Oxy-clean). It does clean just as well too. The recipe I used was:
1 bar of Ivory soap (grated)
1 cup Borax
1 cup Washing Soda
1/4 cup Oxy-Clean (optional)
You just have to use a couple tablespoons per load. I like it and it was so quick and easy to make (easier than a walk down the detergent aisle and deciding which kind to buy this time). You can use other bars of soap as well. You can find more recipes and info here. I used recipe #4.
And for all those you don't care about homemade laundry detergent (shame on you!), here's a picture of Sydney dressed in Matt's clothes.

I like the idea of making my own detergent...but what's washing soda?
The washing soda is made from Arm & Hammer - and it is totally different than baking soda.

and from Amazon (and it doesn't cost that much in the grocery store):http://www.amazon.com/SUPER-WASH-SODA-55-OZ/dp/B000QR8T78/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1217384667&sr=8-1
