Directly across from the entrance to the rest of the house we have numerous embroidery hangings done by myself and my mother they consist of things such as:
"boring people have immaculate houses"
"Housework is the pits"
"Due to illness I'm sick of cooking"
"you can touch my dust but please don't write in it"
etc etc
I like to think of them as warning signs - we're pretty neat people but the house is lived in - there's always shoes that are on the hearth instead of in bedrooms or books scattered about.
