Good idea tranum - getting up and moving around. I try to move between my ironing board and my sewing area. But, I've started walking daily (except on weekends, I might skip it). I still find myself a little stiff in the neck area. So, I guess I'd better start stretching occasionally (especially turning my head to the left and then to the right). I'm still so enchanted with everyone's pictures of their sewing areas. Gives me inspiration to "keep it tidy" or at least tidy once I'm finished with one project. My second-most used item in my sewing room is the vacuum. I've actually taken it for my own use and only unplug it when it's time for the weekly vacuum of the house. But, everytime I'm done sewing for the day, I turn that puppy on and vacuum up the little strings. Makes me feel like I'm at least keeping something cleaned up! ha!
