Chris
I am so happy to hear it worked for you. I tried it and it was horrible. I don't think it was done right. I had a curvature with arthritis they had a hard time getting it in. I had it removed on the 4th day and only that long because it was a weekend.
Congratulations
Dawn

A gypsy sit upon I I think it is called. It helps my back pain.

Not latest because it was in the original plans, but itis the most helpful:

My husband built me sewing 'table' with 2 unfinished kitchen cabinets from Home Depot. He cut off the toe kicks first, but since I'm short, it was still just a bit too high with the added counter top. So, I sit alittle higher in my adjustable chair, and he built a platform that my foot pedal sits on, to accomadate my shorter legs

I'm going to try my darndest to attach a photos, here goes:

A new mattress/boxspring may be the answer to my achey-breaky back. Thanks for setting us straight on the TENS unit and women's Deep Breathing! :-) Hopefully the new mattress will cure his snoring! HAhaha

Just last night my DH finished installing the last drawers on an IKEA counter that is my new cutting table! I LOVE it. It's the perfect height, I don't have to clean off the dining table every time I want to cut, and best of all, twelve drawers for all my stuff. Next is my design wall. I have held off on a sewing table, because I'm going to try sewing standing up. The cutting table is large enough for my big cutting mat, and my machine at the end. But if I do go to a table, I'll need a good chair and one of those gypsy sitters. That's pretty cool.

So may good ideas. But the best one was the chocolate.

Gerrie, As I sit in the chair reading the comments, I really hadto laugh because I must get dressed and start sewing! This is not a good way to spend the whole morning. This quilt is just waiting for me to finish it!
