I know that guilt!!!
Before I decided to get down to making bears properly I filled my "Mum at home" time with housework .... 16 years of it in fact!Of course I wish my sons would take more responsibility nowadays , but in the end - our house is a HOME ; and no amount of dust or clutter will squeeze the LOVE out of it!!!

Gosh that was quite profound! LOL!

Cheryl I am guilty too I put lots of things before cleaning my house , bears , dolls my dogs and my daughter (not in that order of course lol)Life is to short I had an aunty who passed away a while back but her house was always immaculate and she was such a fanatic that when you got up to leave she had the dust buster out vacuming the couch you had been sitting on while you were still there! I never ever felt comfortable at her house beside dust bunnies don't eat much and I'm an animal lover lol.

Ahhhh, Lynda, such a wise boy!

My son once said 'dust is like the clouds Mum - always there' (he was going through a Mr Myoggi phase at the time!).

Ohhhh, I LIKE that, Heather! I'm going to use that--"my house isn't dirty, it just has character!" That's great! Maybe I should make a magnet of that saying and put it on the fridge....hmmmmm.

Besides... dust adds character.

Houses that are totally immaculate and clean often feel sterile too. Not always, but often... and then people are afraid to touch anything or sit down or use that waaaaaay too clean restroom. :)

Oh, I'm so glad that I will have company in making dust pictures! I've always thought that living and spending time with loved ones is more important that cleaning. I'm so glad you shared that poem, Sandra--it's just so right and so beautiful. I also like Erma Bombeck's saying: "Cleaning the house while the children are growing is like shoveling snow when it's still snowing."

well cheryl,that makes two of us,heres my favourite poem

"Mother, oh Mother, come shake out your cloth, Empty the dustpan, poison the moth,
Hang out the washing and butter the bread,
Sew on a button and make up a bed.
Where is the mother whose house is so shocking?
She's up in the nursery, blissfully rocking.
Oh, I've grown shiftless as Little Boy Blue
(Lullaby, rockaby, lullaby loo).
Dishes are waiting and bills are past due
(Pat-a-cake, darling, and peek, peekaboo).
The shopping's not done and there's nothing for stew
And out in the yard there's a hullabaloo
But I'm playing Kanga and this is my Roo.
Look! Aren't her eyes the most wonderful hue?
(Lullaby, rockaby, lullaby loo).
The cleaning and scrubbing will wait till tomorrow,
For children grow up, as I've learned to my sorrow.
So quiet down, cobwebs. Dust go to sleep.
I'm rocking my baby and babies don't keep."

Lol, fab idea, I think I may join you in the dust pictures. My mum gave me a magnet in my stocking one Christmas 'You can touch the dust, but please don't write in it!', but I don't think she has much room to talk :oD
