Thank goodness for feeling like myself again. And an extra thank goodness for all of my friends and their comments and emails!
I have a tip for any cat or dog owners out there who might be having hair issues. I'm diligent about vacuuming and Febreezing but I did a little internet research on Friday and combined a couple of ideas that worked like a charm! And it was fairly easy, too. I filled a spray bottle with one part water, one part liquid fabric softener and sprayed both my couches. After letting it soak for a few minutes, I put on a rubber dish washing glove and rubbed it all over the couch - the cat hair balled up and it was easy to pick it off. There wasn't much to pick up which made me feel better about my housekeeping skills. I also sprayed the carpet and let it sit before I vacuumed. I figure I'll hit the couches once or twice a week and use it on the carpets every time I vacuum.
It feels good to have a clean place. I even washed nearly everything in my laundry basket - including a couple of sweaters and other things that have been there for awhile because they need special attention. I wish I could have inspired myself to work in the craft room, too, because it's such a mess. I hate even getting on the computer because the clutter is overwhelming. It's more a storage space than a craft room and, even though I tell myself I'm not going to do it, it's so easy to just toss anything that doesn't go in the other rooms on the computer table or just out of sight of the door. Terrible, I tell you. I got a really cute toy sewing book from my brother for Christmas and I'm itching to sew but haven't because...this room is unbearable. I don't know, maybe I'll find the inspiration this weekend - or maybe I'll just get fed up. Something.
Anyway, speaking of that...I can't sit here any more. Yuck.
Hope everyone had a great weekend!
If you want to have some help, or even just company to tackle your craft room, let me know. Organizing is one my very side businesses.
