Ignoring The Housework Monday

I hereby introduce a new worldwide law. Monday is a no housework day.

It's compulsory.

I'm going to be finishing off the binding on Molly's quilt instead.

How about you ? What nice things are you going to do today?

Sigh. I am, unfortunately, going to work, thereby ignoring the purple merino & bamboo calling me from the spinning wheel. It's okay, though. It made me late almost every day last week and I resisted the call of the housework for most of the weekend!

I'm so pleased you've told me it is now law - I don't need to feel guilty for reading my daughter's book for half the day then! (It was The Deep by Helen Dunmore, by the way. The third in the Ingo series - very good - even it is meant for children!!!!)

[Sarah]

Really, really, I don't have to do all those yucky chores? I love all the florals together on Molly's quilt. Very cheerful!

[saraeden]

Thats one law i will gladly abide !!
The only problem maybe Monday is supposed to be my housework day so i can spend the rest of the week sewing .... but i wouldnt want to break the law now would i !!

Ive been helping teach kids sewing this afternoon !!!

I have a ton of housework and a ton of "my" work. I am having a hard time motivating myself so this blog is serving a really great distraction!

I'm in! This will apply to every Monday, yes? :0)
Gorgeous quilt! Love the dotted binding; it really brings it together.

I keep telling myself I need to get started on cleaning, but I guess seeing as there is a law against it... I will bake cookies and finish up my daughters apron.

Oh, I so wish I could go with no housework but as my 3 yr old said to me today "pops is the thinker, mammy does the washing up!" ho hum

I have the same rule for many other days of the week too! I am working on floorquilts. I bought the book by Ellen Highsmith Silver...."Floorquilts"....Fabric is "Decoupaged "....to canvas, then finished with acrylic varnish....Great way to use up fabric scraps....results are gorgeous!

I will be quilting a baby quilt tonight. It's a gift for a friend. Can't wait to see this quilt in full. Such pretty fabric!

Oh! That binding is the perfect, unexpected touch to that sunny quilt. Good for you. The housework can wait.

Love the spots around Molly's quilt. Lucky Molly I am sure i saw another quilt you made her, does she have more than one?

[Mama Urchin]

This definitely sounds like a good idea.

[Claire P]

OH BUM! I wish I'd read your post before I cleaned the bathroom :(
I had best go and sew something quick to make up for it!
PS, I wish I could quilt :)

[Stasia]

Now THERE'S a button I'd put on my blog! Hear, hear!

Why bother clearing up dust when you're just going to be buried in it eventually anyway?

Have a CREATIVE day!!! (Awesome quilt!)

[janet clare]

you could have told me that BEFORE I hoovered the upstairs...

[Kyla Nicole]

What a fantastic idea! I'm going to ignore the housework, catch up on some swaps, and take care of my very ill hubby...Come to think of it, I'll be just as busy X]

IHM - If it is an international law, I'm not going to argue! I'm working on the lid for a new messenger bag for my sis and that's soooo much more fun than doing the dishes. They are not going to run away (yet) anyway!
Your quilt looks lovely!

[jenny]

boo hoo! I saw this too late and spent the WHOLE day ironing! But I will know now for next week! Ha!

[sarah]

Wow, what a beautiful quilt. She is going to love it forever.

Monday needs to definitely be no housework day because that's all I end up doing when everyone is home on the weekend. It was so nice out today that I did do indoor outdoor work.

[Gina]

That gets my vote!
Love the colours in that quilt - some gorgeous fabrics.

[robyn]
