Yesterday I had a case of “The Mondays” and just got nothing done Today it’s catching up with me. I want so bad to sit down with a new pattern I have been itching to try and just crochet the day away. I almost did and I am sitting here battling myself in my head.
“Oh you can sit and just start the project”
“No, no I can’t! I have to vacuum the whole house, wash bedding, dust, clean the bathrooms, make a grocery list… (you get the picture) All while keeping up with my sweet Hailey.”
So folks, cleaning has won. It was a close race and I almost gave in. I just have this thing where our house has to be clean and welcoming when someone comes for a visit. Even if it’s someone that could care less how the house looks. So I will be spending the day cleaning and dreaming of crocheting.
Want to know the good part of all this?
1. The house will be squeaky clean which is a great and calming feeling.
2. Our visitor, my mother-in-law, is a crocheter and knitter! So I’m sure we’ll get some time to relax and enjoy some craft time.
We’re really excited for Hailey’s Gram to come tomorrow so I have no complaints… just dreams of crocheting. I’ll leave you with a picture of my little helper. She loves helping me make scrambled eggs for breakfast in the morning. She’s getting really good too!
Have a great day friends! The Windex and Pledge are calling my name

There are definitely some times when I need to clean, organize, sort and declutter before I can do anything else. It will be nice to get in some crochet / knit / craft time with your visitor!

I know how you feel Mary, I wanted to do some crafty things today, but have spent all day cleaning the house! It's lovely having a spotless/organised home though 🙂
Enjoy your well deserved craft time with your mother-in-law!

Awww, she's soooo cute! I can totally relate on the nagging voice that tells us to clean and do chores… when all we want to do is sit and crochet. I bought a pattern for these adorable ankle boots that I want to crochet for Emma, but so far I have yet to find the time to start them. Sad. 🙁
I've also developed a love for printables recently myself. I never thought to look for them on Pinterest–good thinking!
