Behold, my dining room table. Blocks of soap on top of my table waiting to be cut.
Soap curing on my dining room chairs. (I don’t think the freezer paper is curing. It’s just storing.)
Marmalade and syrup and conserve.
More marmalade. (Lemon-lime marmalade. And lots of it!) I told people it was very tart and now they’re afraid to touch it.
What’s this mystery bag?
OH NO! The scary lye!
And more jars of canning and jars of candles.
Really, Suzanne, do you ever CLEAN UP? Umm, well….. No, please let’s not even talk about the coffee table.
Or the big cheese pot on the counter.
Or the dishes.
By the way, just in case you thought my chickens laid pristine eggs, here are some dirty ones.
We’re expecting company this weekend, so this fiasco is something of a problem. They might even want to sit down at the table. They might be put off by the lye! And I seem to be all out of storage space in my pantry. I had a dedicated crafts room to keep my crafts supplies. But somehow this gigantic wood stove took over!
My little Rossy (he LOVES it when I call him Rossy, okay, so that’s not true) has grown up and moved out of the house, and before you know it, he’ll be heading off to boot camp (in June). And yes, I felt like sobbing and clinging to his ankles when he moved out and yet—
He’s entering the military for a six-year enlistment. (Read his story about joining the Navy here if you missed it.) By the time he gets out of the Navy, he’ll be 25. As much as I would like for him to come home and live with mommy, I kinda doubt that’ll happen. I asked him if I could enroll him in kindergarten and we’d just START OVER but he didn’t even think that was funny. And looky here at his empty room.
I THINK IT MUST BE MY ROOM NOW!!!!!
The upside of children growing up and moving on to their own lives (must they????) is that you get THEIR ROOMS!!!!! That almost makes up for that nasty GROWING UP and going away part.
Oh, sure, I’ll be so happy when he comes back to visit and I’ll even…….
…..clear off the bed. But not till then! Because….
…..I have a new room! (And a clean dining room table. I set up a “pantry annex” in Ross’s room, too, for all my extra jars. And a soap-curing station!)
P.S. I just wanted you to know that my house is like yours–messy. Or maybe not like yours. Maybe yours is clean. In that case, please forget this post ever happened. IT WAS A FIGMENT OF YOUR IMAGINATION.

Hey Suzanne, I’m with you on this one!! When it gets too cluttered I clear it out, but until then I’m happy in my mess. We have 4 bedrooms, and if my 2 kids moved home today there wouldn’t be any room for them because their old rooms have been designated for other uses. Oh – my cats get on the cabinets and table, too.

Call your mother every half hour, be careful, lock the doors,dont answer the door past dark, dont pick up strangers, eat your broccoli, change your sheets, brush your teeth…. :hissyfit: I think they call this sepertion anxiety. :shocked: Your a bigger woman than me Suzanne, your calm! 8)

scorwin says:
My house is very seldom cleaned up and never “spotless”. I decided a long time ago, it was either having animals or a really clean house and animals won hands down. Now that I have horses and am gone from the house a lot, things just don’t get done. Whenever I’m engrossed in some craft, it seems the rest of the house goes to pot and there’s craft stuff all over everywhere! Not another room is under construction with work men coming and going and dust all over so what’s the use of cleaning now. I sit in my new kitchen which I am keeping spotless (for now!) because it’s new and I’m happy. Of course if I’m cooking, I also make a mess. I’m very unorganized when I’m cooking. People just know they have to give me a couple days warning before they just “drop by”!!!!!!!

It is my belief that creative people automatically have clutter. Take a look at someone you know who doesn’t seem to be interested in new things, and you will find a person who doesn’t own a stash. Cluttery people are more interesting, I think, especially you, Suzanne.

Oh boy – CAN I RELATE TO THIS ONE! Sometimes I get really depressed when I see how spotless some of my friend’s homes are. We’re under construction right now too and that’s a good excuse, but I don’t always have an excuse like that. I always have to think of my mom who made her house a HOME that was used and lived in. She was not ashamed of her clutter and our friends always felt “at home” and comfortable. She was the best cook in the whole world and it didn’t matter that the house was messy. At least it was always “clean messy”. Keep up your wonderful blog – I read it every day!

I always wondered why my mother-in law’s house seemed so pristine. Then, one morning several years ago, I stopped by unannounced to drop off an ice chest she wanted to borrow. I discovered her secret. SHE HAS A MAID!!!!!!!! Once a week. Changes the linen, does laundry related linen, dusts, and does all the floors. How about that.

Suzanne, thanks so much for this post! Makes me feel so much better. I agree with some of the others that creative people tend to have alot more stuff. It is a constant battle to keep it under control. I am lucky in that my husband is in the process of turning a small cabin my son was living in on our property, into a crafting place for me. Can’t wait to get everything moved over and be able to use it. The big thing will be to get everything organized. Makes it alot easier to work if you know where what you need is at and can put your hands on it quickly and easily. I do alot of different crafts, (even more since I have found your blog) and have alot of stuff. One of my things is working with leather which requires alot of stuff and space to work with it, so the cabin will be so great. When I see something in a catalog that I like I try to figure out if and how I can make it myself. I make alot of the gifts that I give as well. Everbody seems to like them and I like putting my personal touch on them. Well, I can see I am rambling, so I’ll just say thanks again and enjoy your company this weekend.

When my kids were growing up, we did a major home renovation that resulted in a fabulous HUGE L-shaped lunch counter in our already large farm kitchen. Shortly thereafter, I got into hand-painting and dyeing silk. It was quite normal to have jars of dye and other projects bits and bobs all over the lunch counter … making it necessary to eat at the dining room table IF THERE WAS ROOM THERE. My partner finally commented “we didn’t fix up this kitchen for your craft crap!” Oh? I totally thought we did! LOL!

Thank you, Suzanne! My home looks like that too. I thought it was just me. My floor is always dirty. It even has potting soil on it in the kitchen plant area and upstairs in the craft/growing room. I will sweep it when it gets really bad and bothers me, otherwise its usually dirty (no carpets here). I can’t remember the last time I washed it or dusted anything…
My cats are on the kitchen table too. We don’t eat there. (Does anyone?)

You made my day. My house always FEELS like it’s a wreck. Between 2 teen boys & a messy hubby + a big ol dog – it’s just a cluttered mess 24/7. And it drives me crazy – I feel like I can’t sit down & work on a quilt until the mess is at a reasonable level…it’s haunts me & stifles my creativity. BUT, on the flip side – my house is filled with love, fun, and comfortable places for my boys to hang out. When they are grow up & gone I have GRAND PLANS for their room to become my quilting studio. But until then – I’ll keep on using the kitchen as my ‘quilting studio’.
PS I want flushable kitchen!

Thanks for being real! That’s one of the things I love about your blog. I feel ya with the kids moving out thing. I had two move out together! At the same time! And I didn’t even get their rooms because we moved to a different house at the same time! (Long story…we were moving home to the States from Europe and they moved to our home town while we moved to take over the pastorate of a church in another city.) It’s all good though, and they come to visit often. If the truth be told, I kind of like the foot loose and fancy free thing that came after I adjusted to not having my girls living at home! :snoopy:

My daughter moved out, moved up the hill in our old place, got married, and they are still there. She likes being close :snuggle: , and mommy likes her there too! I am going to try your soap sometime as I would really like to do soap making plus my own laundry soap. do you make your own laundry soap too? We have a septic tank so we have to be careful. Mmmm, that tart lemon-lime sounds wonderful! Course I have to agree on one thing, when company is a coming, everything gets cleaned up fast here!

My other daughter is out too but there’s the chance she may come back so it still holds all the junk she couldn’t take. I’m looking forward to the day when I can turn both their rooms into bookshelves hahahahaha.

Please tell you son Ross that I respect his decision to join the Navy. I admire his courage and his conviction to serve his country, and I am forever grateful to him and the other men and women serving in our armed forces. I am very proud of him and I know you must be about to BUST with pride.

I had to laugh at this post! I have been cooking way too much lately and told my husband this morning that was it! I wasn’t going to mess up that kitchen again for a week…..
Then I saw a recipe for cinnamon rolls that was very different from mine (used 3 eggs) and I need to use up some eggs. So being the helpful soul that he is, he suggested we have scrambled eggs (more eggs used) and the sweet rolls for lunch/dinner. That worked for me.
Then the rolls were raising so slowly I decided they wouldn’t be ready so did another flour mess for pizza…then there was the shredded cheese mess and the cornmeal on the pizza peel mess and the pan for the sauce……….
The mess was so bad, I took a picture of it but I doubt I will have the never to post it on my Blog!
The kitchen is clean again and I will never mess it up again………
P.S. A few days ago I made an angel food cake and a lemon sponge cake that used the 12 yolks (all in the same day), then yesterday was bread-making day (3 loaves at a time). So you understand what I mean about kitchen messes.
p.s. 2. The sponge cake is referred to as a jam cake….bet your tart marmalade would be very tasty on it.

Put the jars of homemade vanilla on a shelf. Put the box of hand dipped candles in the closet. As soon as my son moved out we turned his bedroom into the computer lab/guest bedroom. I already have plans for the other kids rooms too!

Ross moved just in time for the summer organization of the new storage pantry. Which would free up the ‘use out of one’, located up stairs in the kitchen). I would love to have a room to store food, that I would not have to worry about bracing the floor joists. It can get full and HEAVY quick.
