Every year I have to tidy up the "sitting" room so that it can be used for Xmas. From January to the end of November it is called the "linen" room and the chairs and sofas are hidden under piles of sheets, tablecloths, doilies and quilts. In fact, my husband forgot the colour one of the sofas as he hadn't seen it for months! This means first of all trying to find the time to get as much as possible washed and ready for selling. (I do have baskets like the ones below but I don't have a room this large unfortunately!)
If only we had the weather to hang it all outside like they do in India!
Then the remainder is stashed under beds, in the attic and in the garage. One day I dream of having a garage that looks like...................
Instead of like................................(actually this is tidy compared to our garage)
However, the trip to the garage today did unearth a box of linens that I stashed away last year and forgot about. Inside was a quantity of long white linen surplices that will be ideal for a choir or even more seasonally as costume for the angels in the Nativity play! So now, back to the washing machine and the ironing board!
