Maybe you are like I used to be and don't know what a treasury is and don't know what Etsy is. Well, never mind. Just click on the links and find out!
Well, I'll give you a hint. Etsy is a place to buy handmade goods (as well as supplies for handmade goods and vintage items) from individual sellers. A treasury is a collection of items, usually with along a theme, put together by a member of Etsy (could be another seller or just a buyer) to share with other members.
I hope these will be a blessing to my readers!

Thoughts on Learning and Critical Thinking
Read widely,
. . . . but don't believe everything you read.
Listen carefully,
. . . . but don't believe everything you hear.
Look around,
. . . . but don't believe everything you see.
Think hard,
. . . . but don't believe everything you think.
If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. ~ James 1:5
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. ~ Proverbs 9:10
When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul; discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee. . . ~ Proverbs 2: 10, 11.

A good reminder, especially for maidens at home
And if ye have not been faithful
in that which is another man's,
who shall give you that
which is your own?
~ Luke 16:12

Things To Keep In Your Laundry Room
A large trash can or waste basket (well, not one of those huge outdoor things). Laundry room trash is mostly dryer lint, which won't start smelling if you neglect to empty it. Save yourself the trouble of emptying the trash frequently by using a larger trash recepticle.
Plenty of extra trash bags. You shouldn't have to fetch them from a distant stash very often.
A pair of scissors to snip loose threads and remove tags from new clothing.
Small containers (one for each member of the family) to collect things found in pockets.

Well, maybe the ironing board cover is more urgent than I thought. . . .
See Challenge: Do Something Laundryish for the background to this post.
My ironing board cover does have a hole in it but I can live with that. Yesterday, though, I was cutting out a baby item on it and layed the fabric out over the hole (I usually try to avoid it if I can but sometimes I forget).
As I cut around that end of the pattern piece I knew I had to be careful around the hole. I thought I made it okay but then the fabric felt a little thicker than before. . . . Yep. When I lifted up the piece to check, there was a neat little cut!
I had better be extra careful from now on or I will need a new cover long before I am able to make one!

Challenge: Do Something Laundryish
Anything. Well, anything outside your normal routine!
It might be cleaning (the laundry room), organizing (the laundry room), mending, stain removal, putting up a clothes line, sewing (clothespin bag, ironing board cover, etc.), decorating (the laundry room, of course), reading (about the subject, naturally), making laundry soap, or laundry itself. Or maybe something else I haven't thought of. It just needs to be in keeping with this month's theme of laundering!
Anybody can do this, even little girls!
I may be cleaning in the laundry room (I'm the family laundress). It needs major help. Not very interesting but it needs to be done! I will be glad when the extra stuff gets moved out of the laundry room and I can have my space back. Ah, well, we can't always have fun (but just because I'm not having fun doesn't mean you can't!).
Please share what you have done (or a part of it) as well as some of the things you plan to do in the future. You may share in the comments or leave directions to your blog posts.
