Learning more everyday

I'm still on my way to a frugal lifestyle!  It's fascinating all I've learned in one short week.  This week I learned about freecycle.org.  It's a site where folks post things they have to give away or need and the two can connect.  I posted a request for old wool blankets, clothes, fabric and/or yarn to repurpose into new items, some of which can go to charity.

This week I also made my own laundry soap!  So fun....the jury's still out on if it's cheaper....for sure it's the same price.  I think it all depends on how much we use....I'm tracking this, so time will tell.

We also joined the local library this week, and it's amazing how much libraries have changed since the '70's!!!!  So much more of a resource......and they have KNITTING BOOKS.  Oh my, it's a whole new world!
