Housework? Seems like I've heard of that. Not sure what it is though. :D

Yes, I'd much rather quilt than clean house.

I keep my house clean. I used to be a total clean freak. But I decided it didn't need to be that clean...lol

As long as I can see the floor and look out the windows, I can clean tomorrow....haha

Love your saying, Jazzmyn:

"If you come to see me come anytime.....If you come to see my house make an appointment."
I recently just told my friend something very similar.

There is so much more than a clean house to be remembered for.

I think quilters are passionate about this topic.

I, too, used to do a bit better than I do now. What helps me is taking note of how little time is actually involved in basic things. Both of us have a habit of drying off the sinks, faucets and shower right after using them every time, and they always look okay. Dishes for two people can get shoved into the dishwasher in under 5 minutes and the laundry is a rude and repeated interruption, but really only takes a few minutes at a time. It helps a whole lot to buy fabric that needs to be washed. I usually put it in with a load of like-colored clothes.

I like to cook if it's quick and good, so keeping up the kitchen seems normal. If we didn't use it, it would become a dumping ground.

The big bugaboos are the occasional/seasonal chores. The freezer is an embarrassment. Windows are washed outside maybe every 5 years if we notice the need, and only the ones downstairs. So far the neighborhood association hasn't run us off. (I hope they're not following this thread! :o)

One of my favorite quotations:

"Our house is clean enough to be healthy, and dirty enough to be happy." ~Author Unknown

I hear ya! Actually, I used to be Super Housekeeper. Back in the day, I took alot of my identity from how my house looked (go figure) & I just felt better about the world when my house was clean. But, then I got a new DH & house, my health took a serious turn towards the non-cleaning side (for real... my orthopedic surgeon told me "No more scrubbing the bathroom floor on your hands & knees" & I didn't have to be told twice... LOL!), & quilting (& this board) moved to the front of the line. So, now my house is messy. And while it bugs me sometimes, most of the time when it starts to get to me, I go into my sewing room & forget all about the rest of it... LOL!

or two. lol

My favorite saying: You can eat off my floor - you're bound to find something. lol
