When I talk about cleaning for 4 days before my art quilters' group comes, I'm not talking about vacuuming. My dilemma is always 'where to put all of the stuff'. I'm a visual person. Put something away behind closed doors or in a drawer, and I forget about it. Having 'stuff' out all around me in my studio is the way I am and it sparks my creativity. So when company is coming, it is time to round it all up, organize it, put it somewhere that I will remember, and start fresh with clean tables after they leave. It's a good thing I have company on a regular basis or I probably wouldn't tackle this mess. The basement has just one more table to clean off, and then we have to hope the weather is going to cooperate so they can come Monday.
