Hi everyone, I finally feel like spring is coming. The sun is shining and almost all of the snow is gone. yah!! So I have started my spring cleaning. Today is top to bottom of the bedding for all 3 beds. And.... gave the dog a shave today from noise to tail and everything in between. Man, I love spring :)
Does anyone else have the spring bug????

I started my spring cleaning this week also. I have taken down curtains and pulled up rugs. I had it all hanging on the line thursday. My tulips are coming up and all is right with the world... SPRING IS COMING!!!!!!

I've got the spring bug but not that one! Horrible cold just came upon me yesterday at work. Thought allergies but it's not. Hopefully will be gone tomorrow so I can get your spring bug!

I started last week. Had no choice as we had some renovation done in the basement and everything is full of dust now, from ceiling, walls and curtains.
We are finishing the main floor today and then, we're off for the summer youppi!

Well, from previous posts, I have started my cleaning - in the basement because of all the water. I am glad to say that I am in a much better frame of mind THIS Saturday as opposed to LAST Saturday. All of the rugs are dry, furniture has been moved back, the design wall is back up and truly, I only have about 1/8 of the room to finish cleaning up. My daffodils are 7-8 inches tall, the black birds are chasing away my other birds from the feeder (sure sign of spring here) and I am longingly looking at the gazebo! Yeah, I feel like cleaning....wait, must have that other bug....(who feels like cleaning when there is quilting to be done?)

Spring?? What spring??? he he he..not up here yet....but soon...I hope!!!!

I have the spring cleaning bug and have three ladies scheduled to come and do it on Monday.

what spring? we stiull have 3 feet of snow. Lots of ice so have to be careful going out to the car. In the towns snow is melting lots faster than out here in the country. I have some pressing to do on my arrowhead blocks for the swap and then into the bag they go to be mailed to bookworm. also a pkg to get off for a lady making quilts for soldiers. Anyone else want to help her out she "opened her big mouth" is the topic. missgigglewings.

I need a 'START' button.

Amyjo, Sorry you all still have snow, it was 80 yesterday here in Quitman. The flowers are blooming all over the place and the tulip trees are beautiful too. I just finished a quilt top to send to Donna ( miss gigglewings) have to get it in the mail soon, along with my celestial swap blocks.As for the cleaning I try to keep up as best I can so I have more time to play in the garden .

Same here started washing windows, walls and ceilings, we live in a RV so doesn't take as long to get all done
but it sure feels good to see it sparkle

Hey isn't that Cheating! Wish I could Cheat too
8-)

My big goal is to collect a car full of "stuff" to take up to church for the young women's garage sale next weekend. They are raising money for camp, and it's a great way for me to get rid of more of the stuff I really don't want so that I have more room for - hold your breath - here it comes- FABRIC, of course :lol:

Now thats the way to GO! smaller ! 8-) My Mom was from AR and I remember her every year Spring clean, Draging everything out in to the yard and start fresh top to bottom!
My Hubbys from NW just can't get IT his Mom never did Spring clean, I think its a Midwest/Southern thing COOL!!! 8-) I sure miss my mom! PS My Dad was Painter so If Mom wanted Paint it was done too!

I am on the same page as KathyAire, except it's next Thursday...lol

I cleaned my front yard up yesterday.
I worked in my basement last week cleaning and getting rid of stuff which I don't know why we saved it anyways.

I do!!!!!!!!!!! I actually FEEL like cleaning. REALLY weird for me, lol!

I think you should re-direct them to my house! LOL

LOL right answer!!!!! enjoy more sewing time :-)

I'm up to spring cleaning also and the stuff I don't want is going. I'm sewing spring tops also. Need to make a tablecloth for picnic table. Spring purses are getting made. Hello spring. It's been a long winter.

Just cleaned and reorganized the pantry. Cleaned up the sewing room. Worked on the office. Garage needs a thorough cleaning and the Jeep needs a scrubbing. Nothing like having a party to get jobs done one has been putting off!

Well, I started yesterday.LOL Did windows , blinds and curtains. Today is basketball game( Yea Wildcats!!), and doiing some reading. Joints are sore from yesterday. I think I will have to admit that I'm just not able to do it all anymore and hire someone for the really hard stuff. I have never had someone else do cleaning for me, I don't even know all that they do. Right now, I'd like to toss everything out, and re-do from top to bottom, but it isnt going to happen.

You are my kind of WOMAN!!

I finished my spring cleaning this past week. The weather was so nice and I had time off work so it was now or never. I'm glad it's done. Now all I have left to do are my taxes. Then it's all behind me for another year!

Still snow on ground here. Fighting with the skunks this year, each night we place amonia soaked rags around porch so the devils don't make their babies near house. ugh

I love the "noise to tail". I have a little Chi that this really applies to!
Yes - I love Spring too, and yes, it always makes me clean.

Not yet. It is snowing this morning. Spring won't come until June around here.

Got my new clotheslines put up for hanging out rugs, bedding, and heavy everyday clothing - that does not need to be dried in the dryer!!

Will attempt to do some house cleaning pronto - it is in need of freshening up - curtains, windows, carpets etc... can't wait to smell fresh surroundings once again - including opening the windows and doors - let some nice breezes flow through the house -

My daffodils are up, crocuses are blooming, YES, spring is arriving in full swing.

I completed my spring cleaning a bit earlier than normal. My two SIL's were coming for a visit and I wanted a sparkly clean house. Windows, bedding, curtains, pictures, closets, ceiling vents, and the yard. They spent a week week with us and went home yesterday.

Two busy days at work Monday and Tuesday, and then on Wednesday .... ta da ... my Koala cabinetry is scheduled for delivery. Boy am I ready for that.

Lots of sewing time in the foreseeable future for me!

Yes, I've been drawing inspiration from www.flylady.net. But I refuse to shine my sink!

My spring cleaning is morphing into cleaning and painting because I am puting my house on the market for sale. Somehow it isn't as satisfying as doing it for yourself.

:lol:

have been cleaning this week..crocus are blooming and the daffadils are getting ready to open..with the 70's the next 2 days they will be ready for the cold weather coming in thursday..as long as it isn't snow i can live with it.. :-D

I have spring fever, however the weather is still too cool to do anything "spring like" outside!

That's my kind of spring cleaning.

Our Grandson is having a garage sale to help raise money for his Eagle Scout Badge so I've been spring cleaning for three weeks, it has really motivated me! So far I've cleaned out the kitchen cabinets, linen closet, bathroom closets and the one I was dreading the most, our walk-in closet. I donated dishes, extra pots and pans, baking stuff, kitchen linens and lot's of clothes I can no longer wear. Everything left over will be given to a church where people can take anything they need for free.

Oh yes, I got the bug several weeks ago. I have been pitching, sorting, organizing, and donating or what my mom would call, deep cleaning. Today I hit all of the bathroom cabinets and drawers. Two entire trashbags came out full. How did I get all of that stuff in there?

Can start yet have 3 feet of snow can't get to the clothes line and a little bit cold to wash windows

It may be officially spring but like amyjo said not in NORTH DAKOTA! Some of our snow has melted but now there's another storm coming & they don't know how much we'll (Fargo) will get for sure. Plus the flood will be arriving when it does start to melt so I'm waiting to clean. They've built the dikes to 44' & in 2009 in got to 40.82' & it is possible it may go over that this year. Just have to wait & see what Mother Nature has planned for us. Hopefully, a nice slow melt with no rain.

I have been cleaning for about 2 weeks now. Hubby and I are putting new flooring through out the downstairs. Lots or relocating, donating and throwing away.

Somehow, (and I am not complaining) I donated a couch and got a whole new living room... just went and purchased some new seating. The best part of this, is that I now have room for my treadles!!!! :)
