I can so relate to this , three weeks ago I decided to clean my room also , I was having a friend to stay who is a neatness freak .....never anything out of place in her room , Oh says me this will take a day to do ....five days later and a bag or two of stuff I know I will never use , neat as a pin , but I might add I have always kept my fabric's in colour's , I had a pile of mending you couldn't jump over so that went in one pile and has bee done some of t sat there for months . I did find some "Treasures" as my husband calls them , I had forgotten I had so I am excited gin about them and now that I can find things again I am so keen to get in there and sew again .
Husbands answer to the monster in my room is can my wonderful friend please come every three months !!!!!
