I hate housework, but i hate having a dirty kitchen worse. I have 5 kids at home, 4 are under 7. When I finish one end of the house the kids just move to that location and it looks like I still need to straighten up in there. Lots of kids...3 labs...big house...parts of my house are clean at certain times..sewing area is always in stages of projects i'm working on.

I like my house to be clean and my flower beds tended....but if I am making a quilt to give for a special occasion, everything else goes by the wayside til I finish my quilt.

You know at our age after 60++ we only have so much cleaning that really has to be done anymore, thank the Dear Lord the kids are grown and gone, and all we have left is the house to tend too, and now that there is no one to mess it up, except the dogs and cats, it doesn't get too dirty. Now those gardens and the weeds just don't know when to stop growing, and here in Fl. it's all year long, unless we have another cold winter like last year, hoping we won't. Would rather have the weeds growing, than the cold.When it's in your blood, it justcan't be stopped.
Well happy sewing/quilting & machine embrodiery you all. I do lots of that with my quilts.

I let mine pile up then take a week to mega clean. today I did my kitchen, got my table back! hehehe, been using it for quilting and decided all was to go to the sewing room I fixed up a few weeks ago! so now next is the computer room.

I will have it clean before my son does come home!(per last message, son is coming home in a few weeks from Iraq and want it clean, not military clean of course)>

oh and by the way I have an 80 x 14 mobile home, 3 derms, kitchen 2 baths. And it really doesn't take long to clean this little home. its just the clutter, which I noticed just today! now I am through, QUILTING TIME!!

I think I'm just the opposite. I can't be doing housework if I have quilting waiting.
:lol:

Right now, the quilting project has spilled over into the dining area and the laundry room. The iron is blinking to remind me that it's still plugged in, I have cutting spread out on the snackbar, and the table is covered with pieces waiting to be assembled. Let's not talk about the dust that has settled on top of furniture.
