For all of you who commented on my sense of organization. It is something I learned while doing woodworking. There is a place for everything and it takes far less time to keep it neat and tidy than to chase around turning everything over looking for that "lost" item. When I am working on a quilt I do get a bit messier but I clean up a bit before I knock off for lunch, and then I clean and vacuum and clean up at the end of the day. Nothing is worse than coming into a room that is torn up and trying to get going. I think of the cleaning as part of the quilting process. I should get a picture of our stove, and post it with all the copper cookware that I clean and shine up so it is presentable. We use it every day.
