    I made a cross-stitch and hung it up that says: "A clean house is the sign of a misspent life."

    Your doggie looks just like my doggie and his brother is black/tan. Are they not the most adorable things?

    My sister-in-law told me if you don't move any of the dust it won't show up as much. Of course her house is always spotless. Mine is very lived in.

    Well, you can tell when I have been quilting because the house is a mess!

    Flip a coin...usually works for me...Though I am considering a large roll of duct tape, to tape my husband's mouth when we are among friends. Why, well this Sunday coming he has invited 10 people for a sit-down, full on Christmas in July.....AAARGH!

    So this week is weeding, tidying, dusting, vacuuming and NO QUILTING (well, maybe handwork in the evenings!).
