While hubby's away

I am reorganizing my closet to hide all my stash. I've bought one of those hanging shelves for the closet and am moving all my cookie tins of floss there. I might even have room for something else; like clothes.

Ahhhh, Cheryl! You won't know where everything is if you put it away in a cupboard! How is my buddy, Dakota?

Gillian, this is my philosophy!!! LOL! I have a mug on my desk which says, "Please don't straighten out the mess on my desk. You'll confuse me and screw up my whole world."

Ah, but the clutter is only moving behind the closet door.

Pining; with the kids in school and all rain over the last 2 weeks, he's bored.

Now why didn't *I* think of that?!?!?! It would be great to hang on my wall or side of my monitor here at work! If I could find a place for it. :)

Maybe it can go next to my comic of a woman handing a man a resume and he says, "She has an unusual resume--I've never seen one in cross-stitch before!" I think someone posted the link on here cuz it's from the Wall St. Journal, which I don't read.

I have that one cut out and in my binder of things that make me laugh! WSJ is a great read.

Many moons ago, when DH was a working guy, I stitched a sign for his office. It said "Proper Prior Planning Prevents PissPoor Performance"!The Ps were all red, and the rest a nice bright blue. It certainly got his clients' attention when they came in wanting a project done by yesterday!

There's a quote I particularly love that I used to keep on my desk -- "A lack of planning on your part does not necessarily constitute an emergency on mine."

I'd love to make that into a cross stitch chart.

Okay Jere--Enough already. I had the very same quote hidden in a corner on my desk at work and used to drag it out and wave it at anyone who went into hysterics with me.

This is getting weirder and weirder and even more spooky.

I had it as a rubber stamp, and whenever someone dropped a file on my desk with a project due that same day, I slapped that stamp on the "due by" tag. If he complained because it wasn't done 10 minutes after I got it, I had that to show the office manager as my explanation for why it wasn't done yet.

Okay, did you have "Illegitimi non carborundum" -- my father said that was Latin for "Don't let the bastards grind you down."

I found some pretty letters in a Family Circle magazine (this was years and years ago) and worked out this in satin stitch for him. Since he died several years ago, it now hangs in my garage. I love it.

That is sweet!

No, I didn't have that in my desk. I've heard it, or maybe I've read it, but didn't have it at hand. m You're father must have been a great person with a terrific sense of humor.

No, I didn't have that in my desk. I've heard it, or maybe I've read it, but didn't have it at hand. But it definitely would have suited me at times.

Well, he wasn't a particularly great person, but he did have an interesting sense of humor...

Well, I've discovered that I can't hide all my stash! I had thought about moving my binders with all my charts to the upper shelf, but I decided my clothes have to be somewhere close to hand!

But all my floss boxes are neatly stacked, most are labeled (GAST, WDW, etc) and the top of the chest that houses the beads and some of the fabric is nicely adored with a few painted boxes (perfect for hiding new stash until it can be put away correctly. You can almost see the floor too.
