I grated the soap with a cheese grater. The final mix is pretty chunky, not real fine and powery.
My first load is in the washer now. I'm excited to see how it turns out.

Homemade Laundry Soap
My sister Jennifer recently started talking about Homemade Laundry Soap. So I decided to give it a try. The recipe (found at http://modcottage.com/?p=117) includes 1 bar of Fels-Naptha soap, 1 cup of Borax, 1 cup of Washing Soda, and a 1/4 cup of OxyClean. And instead of dryer sheets I am using vinegar in my downy ball. Jennifer was having a hard time finding the Washing Soda. I found all the products at a grocery store called Garden Fresh Market.

Yahoo! So exciting! I will be heading to the store as soon as Joshua wakes up from his nap.
I can't believe you're making homemade soap! Next we'll have you baking bread and making quilts - no wait, that's my job! You are becoming sooooo domesticated. I love it!
