    I use a clock radio that has the 1 HOUR sleep timer on it. I press it - sew during that hour - and when the radio shuts off I do something else for a few minutes... flip a load of laundry, run upstairs for food or drink, walk the tread mill for a few minutes...you get the idea.

    I agree - use it or lose it!
    I love the timer idea...Thanks

    Thanks for the pep talk, but my situation was different this morning: I am normally up at 5 am to go to Curves then off to work for 3 hours. So this morning I slept in until 7 am, went on the quilt board as I did 2 loads of laundry, went to breakfast as i read Jennifer Chiaverini's book "Sugar Camp Quilt", went to pay our Comcast bill, then off to JoAnn fabrics. I would say I got my exercise in today and I still am not done. Two more loads of laundry, hopefully get to see my grandchildren (I missed them yesterday, out of town), then to dinner for Valentine's Day. Yippee!

Everytime you get up to empty the bladder stretch, touch those toes(or knees)! Arms over the head....and stretch...Dont it feel good!? I think we get so caught up in sewing that we forget about us. Prevention on us and our machines, one wont work without the other. Turn the radio on...(micheal jackson) "ABC...Its as easy as Do-re-me..

    Ok now sit in sewing chair grab the seat on the left side with both hands and twist your upper half to the left...stretch....hold it....lets do the other side.....stretch...feels good. Ok now put the peddle to the metal and lets get these stitches-a-stomping!

    Have a great day! Happy Stitching!

    What a great idea, I just watch the clock and get up and move after an hour and a half, but I try to stretch more often, anytime. Setting the timer on stove so I have to get up and shut it off...1 hour...here we go!
    Dontcha hate the sound of that timer? They must make them that way so we get right up just to shut it up ;)
