I kinda subscribe to this theory:
I understand the concept of cooking and cleaning, just not as it applies to me. I read recipes the same way I read science fiction - I get to the end and think ........ Well, that's not gonna happen! I find it helps to categorize my chores: Things I won't do now. Things I won't do later. Things I'll never do. There should be support groups for women who can't put their dishes in the dishwasher dirty. Maxine taught me this lifestyle and I thank her for it! 8-) Also, my sewing room is small, it has a door, therefore I shove stuff into it that does not belong there, just because I can then...shut the door! :wink: |
The DBF has finally given up and let me set up shop on our dinner table; since we usually eat dinner in front of the TV it wasn't a huge sacrifice, but I find I'm doing a lot more sewing with it all out. That being said, I clean up in little fits and starts. Should probably do it more often since I don't have a whole lot of space!

That is one of the reason I have a maid. She does a great job of cleaning my sewing area and keeping my tables straightened up.

I don't consider myself a neat freak, but I do tidy as I go. Even when cooking, I will clean a spill befor it drys and hardens. When shopping,I will refold clothes others have unfolded, pick things of the floor. But I am getting better at that, I remind myself, I don't work there.

Therefore, if I wish to sleep in my bed at night, I need to clear off my bed before I go to bed, so yes I pick up, but my sewing area is not letter perfect.

Count me in as a SLOB!!
:roll: :lol: :oops: |
I clean before I can work. I leave after working because I work late into the night.
|
'Fraid I'm a slob too...but that's okay 'cause I don't have to please a soul but me! I have two sewing/computer/design rooms (and stash) as well as a 12-foot Gammill long arm in my living room...it's there because that's where I do my "living",ie,quilting!
So yep, color me a slob too... :-P |
Isn't that why they invented doors?If there is a path I can get through I am good.lol
|
I staighten up and put things up after each sewing session. Especially at night when I know I'm going to sew again the next day. Just makes it easier for me.
