It was great to read this thread! I thought I was the only one who wanted to give up cleaning to just sew (or read!). I try to knock down the dust bunnies now and again, but sometimes when the sun is shining in that big picture window, Oh-Oh! I really need to declutter. My son told me to rent a dumpster and call him when it's here! He would get rid of everything! My husband one time decided there was too much stuff in the basement after we had moved my mom in with us. He started pitching boxes (without knowing what was in them). Unfortunately, he pitched one of my mothers that had some antique figurines in it that now would be well over 125 years old. And since I only went to basement to do laundry, I didn't notice they were gone for years until I remembered them and went looking. I think in 44 years of marriage, that was the maddest I ever was with him! Gotta just love these guys! Now I wish he was able to go pitch some stuff, but COPD pretty much keeps him sedentary.
