5 More Days Left- Blog Giveaway!!

Only 5 more days left in my blog giveaway.   To enter, simply comment under my post here.  This is what some lucky person will win:

This giveaway will also celebrate another blog milestone!  Sometime earlier this week or last, I had my 300,000th blog visitor!!    I am glad I took my blog to WordPress last year, I love the ability to create my own header, link to other blogs, etc.  Thank you for stopping by and taking the time to read or see what I’m up to creative-wise.

Today, I decided to improve my creative harmony by organizing just a bit.  I started with my closet, which really needed it!  Now I can see all my clothes, and also shoes.  Wow… I have way too many pairs on hand now that I can see them in one location.  Anyone care to confess how many shoes YOU have??  LOL!

Creative pursuits today include some quilting…. some freeform beading…. and perhaps a little metal work.  Tomorrow in class I plan to forge a copper bracelet out of a thick wire, then if all goes well, I will try it in silver.

Roomba Update….  I have a love/hate relationship with my roomba.  I love that I don’t have to vacumn very much now.  What is driving me crazy about the roomba is that it gets stuck in places around the house.  First it wedged itself between my dining room chairs and now it gets stuck under an upholstered chair.

For some reason, this week the noise is making me cranky.  When I hear it go on, my temper rises, so I go over and make him stop.  My husband thinks I’m being funny.

Enjoy your Friday!!  Carla

Lazy Way to Clean the Floor!

My delightful techno-husband, Joe, and I visited some friends for dinner recently, and somehow the conversation turned to floor cleaning.  I wondered how they were able to keep their 5,000 sq. foot floor so neat and tidy?  The answer- a Roomba!

In case you have never seen one of these, it is a robot floor cleaning device which memorizes your floor plan, goes over it 3 times picking up fibers, and dirt particles; then  it go back to the base for re-charging.

By the end of dinner, I knew we needed wanted one.  It sounds too good to be true, but just in the off chance it saves me time and energy, we picked one up today at Costco, brought it home and set it up.

I’ll keep you posted if my new electronic floor cleaner actually does the job as advertised.  it is supposed to make the transition between hard floors and carpets with ease.  You can also program it to clean at certain times of the day.  Right now it is charging.

Hmmm… if this works out great, perhaps I can get the Roomba type which mops the floor too.  Hmmm…. I wonder if they make one that cleans toilets, too! LOL!
