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.

I have a little plaque that says " You may touch my dust but please don't write in it" LOL

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!).
