agree with daisy, the floor

I take my pics outside because I can't get far enough from them for a decent pic inside. Just too small an area.

A great modivator for cleaning...My other modivator is when I know I am having company...boy I can whip this place in shape fast. All I have to do is put away my fabric and sewing stuff...

Just take a close up, or bring it outside and hang it over a rail. And most of us have something we'd prefer doesn't make it into the picture, so relax! You are not alone.

Been there and still do that :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I don't visit friends to check their housekeeping skills...same here...just want to see the quilts!

Count me in as a member of the clutter club, but not for long. As we were getting ready to evacuate for Irene, I looked around and thought, this looks like the hurricane has already been through here! We were safe and untouched, but when I visited neighbors who were without power, I couldn't help but notice how tidy their homes were. So ... yesterday I started a major clean up and toss out. The curtains and blinds came down and got washed along with the windows. I actually threw out my sofa and rug and the coffee table which seems to serve only as a catch all for junk. I am determined to have a tidy and clutter free home, little by little!

Funny - I started taking my photos outside on the deck so I wouldn't have to clear a space inside :D :D :D

If anyone else is like me, the ONLY thing I notice is the quilt. I don't care about what's in the background or if it's "messy". The quilt police have been permanently retired from my house :)

I am the same way. DH can't stand it he will tidy up for me. The bad thing is I don't work outside the home. :oops: I will have my sewing stuff pulled out and it is all over the house. I gave up my sewing room so my DD'S could have their own rooms.
