I'll bet lots of us do the same routine. I have an extra two bedrooms and both are used for the holidays by family. The quilting/sewing room gets a good clean up so the two beds can be pulled out only when guests are coming to stay overnight. However I can't quilt unless the room is neat anyway. My mother's voice on the tape in y head says do the house fist, even though she's been dead nearly 50 years.
