Admittedly it's not a huge update, but I'm keen to not overdo it. My plan is to sew for only an hour a night, and no more, because my physio and massage therapy bills are ridiculous. As in, my health fund stopped paying benefits back in June kind of ridiculous. I love sewing. Love it. But it shouldn't be causing me this much pain.
Hopefully this plan will work. Normally I'd do a big hit of sewing just once a week. I've got a freezer almost full of dinner leftovers, which should give me more time to spend sewing each night, right? Plus the crap TV viewing season has started, so there'll be much less TV being watched unless it's a) the tennis or b) the cricket. And I can listen to the cricket on the radio, so ...
More mini-updates will come soon, including some more Boxes for Sockses and pencil cases.

ReplyDeleteI was doing a lot of sewing at one time (dressmaking) and suffered incredible pain in the shoulders/arms. The Doc injected the muscles with anesthetic to try and help. In the end, one or two sessions with Bowen Therapy fixed the problem - I really recomme3nd it

sounds like a great plan. Smart. Things have to be sustainable.
ReplyDeleteFor what it's worth, I back Janet up in the Bown therapy idea. Not that i have experienced it myself but have seen friends with back problems have great success with it.
oh pencil cases. i dont have one of those... i think i will need one. but only if it doesnt hurt. take it easy xx
ReplyDeleteYay for you! See, "Clear the Decks December" does have an upside. I knew there had to be one somewhere!
ReplyDeleteI have been hanging to buy a box for socks :) Cant wait to see them!
ReplyDeleteWell done on finding your work surface.... wish I knew where mine was!
ReplyDeleteMmmm, boxes for sockses! And the pencil cases are very cute too.
ReplyDeleteHope you can find something to help you manage the back pain.
Beautiful work!
