Day 117 – OCD

You can only imagine how much this drives me crazy.

Half of the facecloths come out of the dryer wrinkled like the one underneath.  The hem is closer to the top and causes the top to wrinkle and it is near impossible to straighten.  Correct – I refuse to iron facecloths!  But they do not make a nice neat stack in my closet when folded – I enjoy nice neat stacks! We had our last set of towels for 5 years before sending them to the basement bathroom….think I can live with these that long?  Pretty sure the Sears staff would look at me funny if I returned my new facecloths because they wrinkle.  Would you bring them in to exchange them if they were yours?

Day 89 – New towels

As my facebook friends know, I was  in the market for some new towels.  Ended up going with all one colour this time. Also, had to get both bath towels and sheets because there were not enough of the towels.  Hubby said folding alternating colours was just too much work.  But they are not near as cool looking in the closet as the old alternating brown and beige ones.  I’ll find a pic of that from my project two years ago and post in a few days.  Those ones have moved down to the basement shower.

For now, these are the new blue towels.  So nice to have fresh soft towels.  I am going to avoid fabric softener to see if that keeps them soft.

This is the lint that came from one load (it took two to wash them all).  Pretty much a facecloth size of lint.

I had a shower and used one tonight….and came out looking like cookie monster!  Apparently all the lint did not come off in the dryer.  But I refuse to rewash towels I have already folded so we will all just have to suck it up for a few days and use linty towels.

Have a great week.
