I am lucky to have a friend with a sign business she saves all her scraps of vinyl (one side is sticky to adhere and withstand weather) so I cut a lot of pieces and this picks up thread and pins like magic.Otherwise she has no use for her scraps!!

I have wood floors and use a swifter usually. Do sometimes use the attachment hose on my upright to get into the corners and under some tables. Have a tiny vacuum to clean out my machines.

I recently thought my vacuum cleaner was not working at its best so I turned it upside down to see if I could spot the trouble. Well....I had vacuumed the sewing room and even though I do make attempts to hit the trash can, it was loaded with thread and bits of fabric and the brushes couldn't even turn. Since I got that cleaned up I think I will use my husbands little shop vac so I won't have to do that again. I'm happy for the suggestion to use a shop vac.

All the housework was mine - whether she lived here or when she moved out. Darling daughter does minimum housework in her own house! I sure did something wrong! -
