I have been spot cleaning the carpet for weeks. On my hands and knees trying desperately to get them out. In the mean time I have to move furniture, basically everything around the room to be able to get at the carpet to do the spot cleaning and then the rug shampooing. I am almost done! I have one more section to seam clean today. Spot cleaned the area last night.
Then I have to move all the furniture and organize. Can't wait. Haven't been able to see let alone use my machine in weeks.
Can't wait until it is all finished, clean and Sew-Perfect!
At least I will have some place to sew! :):) :)

I can bearly get into my small room now. It looks like every know natural disaster has hit it. Why is it when cleaning you make more of a mess than what it was befor you started?

Speaking of not being able to find anything...I was about to sandwich my baby quilt to put it together this afternoon and could NOT find my can of 505. So I had to run to Joann's and buy a can of June Taylor's Adhesive Spray (thank goodness for 50% coupons) I hope it works okay, as I've not heard good things about it.

granniebj, prayers are sent for you and your daughter and family, hope her health is restored very soon. I've always said my dirt and mess will be here long after I'm gone, so someone else can clean it up then. I try to organize and clean, but I always seem to have tooooo much stuff, and then add more. I also seem to have other things that need to be done. I retired 6 yrs. ago from full time teaching, but started working as just a math tutorial teacher that fall and only work half a day, 4 days a week. You would think I would have a lot of time to sew, quilt and just do whatever, also clean house, but nooooo, it seems like I have less time now that ever before. Oh well, the thought is always there and there is always tomorrow, next week or whenever. Like I said, this house and the housework will be here after I'm gone, so I guess just relax and enjoy retirement don't you think that's a great idea? lol I'm sure glad I'm not the only messy quilter, I seem to string things all over the house when I am working on something, and that's a large part of the time. Oh Well, I enjoy it, quilting that is.

Melinda, you'll find that 505 spray now that you bought another. I looked for my bodkins for two months. The day my new ones came in the mail sure enough one poped up out of the blue right where I looked a hundred times.
