I'm finding that the arthritis of my younger years has gone exponential & every bone/joint had been affected.<br />I'm hesitant to get "back on the horse", even though I have two small table looms to work on. Yr work inspires me.

Working smarter, not harder. Being as kind as possible to the body - because it is the only one we get. :)<br /><br />I like hemstitching, but it's hard on my neck.
