Since we had a birthday party this Sunday, I didn't get laundry done. Monday I cleaned up from the party, and planned to do laundry, but somehow it didn't happen.
Today I finally did the laundry! It took: 49 minutes, 58.4 seconds. I thought I would time myself to see how long it would take. The week before I put away my kids clothes and a basket of mine. I still had another basket of mine and the towels that I didn't put away so I knew it would take awhile. My clothes, the towels, and washed blankets seemed to be attacking each other in the laundry room, so I had to sort those out. I put away 5 baskets of laundry and folded a 1 foot stack of blankets. I'm so glad to be done :0 ).
Yesterday, I still found time to look around the Pinterest boards, and found a link about how Martha Stewart fold towels. So since I was folding towels today, I decided to give it a try. I have to tell you........it didn't work for me. It made them more bulky and I need room to shove a lot of towels in a space because we don't reuse our towels a lot.
Here is my tutorial on how I fold towels:
Here you have the towel laid out.
Next fold the short ends together.
Then fold that side again in half
.
Now fold the top down in thirds, or...
....roll it up.
I like to roll my up and put them on a rack in my bathroom.
I bought this rack from Home Interiors ( now called Celebrating Home) at a party. I used it in my kitchen for awhile but it really didn't fit anything, so it hung around the basement for a while. After I saw people using wine racks fro towels storage I decided this would be the perfect thing to hold my towels. Now I have a whole shelf to use in the linen closet which is outside the bathroom, and I don't have to leave the bathroom if I need a towel.
Now I'm off to see what else I can accomplish today.
