Happenings from the Bush homestead

Save the toilet paper rolls! *lol*

My children got into my yarn basket this morning in search of the fuzzy yarn.  No biggie right?  They make things with it all the time.  But today,  the 2 yr old played with some of the yellow I'm using for the cloths.  I had a big twisted mess of a couple of balls of the cotton. 

I do not have a ball maker.  Sure wish I did.  I save the empty toilet paper rolls in a cabinet.  So I grabbed one and wound the yarn onto that.  Recycling at it's best.  *lol*  

A bonus with the toilet paper roll is that it stands up on end.  I like my yarn nice and neat.  And my needles nice and neat too.  But that's not the point.  If you roll the small balls of yarn like I did today, onto the rolls, they will stand up nice and neat in a row.  :)
