As to using the leftovers for stash, "mahvelis" idea! I just recently
cut up an old pair of my pants (imagine--they got a little small....)
and used them in a quilt for SIL for Christmas.

hehehhehehheh. I just had visions of us wandering through our house,
scissors in hand, looking for that perfect bit of fabric. NOTHING would be
off limits.

I couldn't wait for Spike and Giles to outgrow a set of dresses they had! I
loved the fabric, and wanted it for my stash!

LOL...and here I thought I was nuts (or as DH says, anal retentive). My
big thing is the wire hangers, which, of course brings "Mommy Dearest" to
mind. However, they are strictly for dry cleaners, not for my house.

Larissa, I hate wire hangers too. Do you replace all the wire hangers with
plastic ones when you bring the clothes in from the dry cleaners? I am
tempted to take plastic hangers in with my shirts (they do my ironing now,
be still my heart).


Larisa, who still gets a kick out of DH not remembering which drawer his
socks are in

We've lived in this house for over 7 years and I can still hear DH opening
every cupboard looking for a glass. Honey, they are right above the
dishwasher where we have kept glasses since our very first dishwasher 30
years ago. Different houses, same glass location.

We have been 20 years here and DH STILL doesn't know where to put things
away! He manages most things, but there are a few that may not get used
every day that he can never remember... Then there are the things we do
use all the time that he constantly puts away IN THE WRONG PLACE! AAARGH!

Gotta love him, it's the only way to cope!

ARgggghhhhh! Since when do we have too much time on our hands???? Are there
not too few hours in the day and days in the week to do all we have to do,
let alone all we WANT to do??

Don't you ever say that again. Ever. And correct anyone who says it to
you. I mean it, Roberta. This made you happy. Since when do we have to
apologize for that?

we don't take anything to the dry cleaners anymore, but I still have a
few wire hangers that haven't made it to the trash yet....not sure why
that is.

now there is where we have a problem....we just redid our kitchen and
dining room, so there are times when it can be me or DH looking for
something...lol..but at least all the food is in a pantry and not
scatterd all over the place in different cabinets sigh.

Larisa

if you are nuts, so am I. I also like all my hangers to be the same
colour, and all the stuff to be on the same orientation.... and if I
have multiple styles of hangers, I sort them so that all of the shirts
are in one kind, the jackets in the second, etc....

finished going through all DH's shirts. Tossed out lots that no longer fit
or he hasn't worn for years. Put the rest on the beautiful hangers, all
facing the same direction, and organized by color. He thinks I'm nuts. But
he didn't tell me to stop! To get back on topic, a couple of the tossed ones
will become stash :-)

Thank you! Tidy closets do make me happy. But I do feel a
bit -procrastinatory. There's a quilt simmering in the subconscious, needs
to be let out soon!

Anal retentives of the world unite! (Kidding! Sort of!) Marissa, you are
probably my DD1's long-lost twin. She's your age, she's my child and very
much like me. (I gave birth to her sister, but that one is almost entirely
DH's!)

The clothes in my closet starts with white short sleeve shirts and ends
in back. Then comes the long sleeve done the same way. After that the
short sleeve blouses again followed by the long sleeve. I'm sure you get
the idea.
