I admit it, I adore Martha Stewart! She simply knows how to do EVERYTHING, and makes it look so easy. So tonight, I am ashamed. She not only would be highly disappointed that I didn't take notes or DVR her multiple show examples of how to "Properly Fold your Linens", but I am sure if she showed up at my door right this minute, demanding to see my linen closet, I would be dialing 911 in 1 second flat!
Most of today I was racking my brain trying to come up with today's blog and this evening, while I wrestled our sheets the light bulb went off. I remember her instructions....once when she was reminding and demonstrating for us with an example, I even grabbed a fitted sheet and followed along. My fitted sheet never looked so good!
Tonight.....not so much :(
Crinkled, uneven, and sloppy! That would be what I ended up with. Actually, after I wrestled the sheets for 10 minutes, this was the best I had, and if I wrestled anymore I would be shoving them in the trash & heading out to Marshall's to buy brand new sheets tomorrow.
Sadly, I completely suck at all linen folding! Here is what Martha would have seen if she showed up....
Embarrassing, but true! I guarantee that if you randomly drop by and ask to see if I have mastered linen folding and demand to see my work, it's still gonna look like this. They ARE all clean and smell lovely, I just can't fold them correctly! Truthfully, I guess the only thing I have in common with Dear Old Martha is our genetic Scandinavian Pulla Braid handles...a.k.a love handles. They live under my shirts...even at my skinniest, they were there. Smaller, but there. That would explain the MOM jeans!
