I’ve just scoured the kitchen floor, and I’m about to do the dishes (after lunch – why have left over dishes????) and that’s it for cleaning, for the day. When I say scouring, that’s what I mean – pail, brush, rag, hot water and spray bottle. I learned awhile ago from some other cleaning guru that floors can be cleaned better and sometimes faster that way than with a mop. I know that the floor is clean now because the water in the bucket stayed clean after the last go around with the sponge mop.<\/p>\n
I’m mortified by how dirty the floor was. Maybe it’s time to extend my clean sink<\/a> to the floor?<\/p>\n One of the problems is that the floor looked dirty when it was new — just an ugly design and color. Who decided that a yellow grey background with specks and a pitted surface would be a great floor covering design? But still.<\/p>\n I’m such a bad housekeeper.<\/p>\n I worked a little while on my nine patches last night. I think I’ll take a break from grant quilts for day or so and see if I can move that quilt along a bit. I’d like to have something to show for the challenge<\/a>, even if it’s only the nine patches pinned to the black fabric.<\/p>\n It’s interesting to have these piles of five inch strips and just pull three here and three there. I sew two together, sew two together and set the last two in a pile. After awhile, I pull my chain out of the machine, flip the pile of strips over and sew them onto the chain. Keeps them in the correct order.<\/p>\n Of course, I probably need to stop and iron seams and cut up the pieces sooner or later. Perhaps I should take up painting instead. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’ve just scoured the kitchen floor, and I’m about to do the dishes (after lunch – why have left over dishes????) and that’s it for cleaning, for the day.
