Case in point ...this beautiful hand twisted clothesline, unearthed from the depths of a bin in a hispanic dollar store in echo park. Ninety nine cents of crafty, thrifty, homey, cutesy, sunshiny, usefulness and so much more pleasing, and less expensive than a standard nylon cord. The soiling of my favorite sweater was the final straw that brought this clothesline dream out of the box and into reality, there is nothing like necessity to inspire action.
Hand washing my favorite clothes remind me to take care and pay close attention to the things, (and people) that I love.

I'm very jealous you have a garden (and some sunshine) to dry your clothes in!
Don’t be jealous!
Just get some pretty house plants, a line hung in a window (plain old elastic, string, laces, what ever you find) and... voila! instant make shift garden sunshine, in which to dry your clothes. Where there is a will there is a way.
I love this perspective on hand washing...it's my new laundry mantra! Close attention means being here now. Yes, ma'am!
