Another small tip

[Sandy Jo]

Hope this is not a re-run of a tip already posted.

I have a (bad ) habit when working on hand projects,

especially the more complicated - for me! - parts

to forget to look up and focus on something more

distant every once in a while, and this results in some

fairly stiff, sore neck and shoulders muscles. So I thought

why not borrow a tip from sewing:

just fill an odd tube sock with a pound or two of dry rice

- not the instant sort-

then make a good knot in the open end, just to keep all that

rice corraled! warm the rice filled sock, usually

only a minute or so on the "High" setting for most

microwaves will do the trick, lay the warmed bag

across shoulders. Ahhh relief! and with no smelly,

or expensive ointment.

Hi Sandy,

That's kinda like what we do. We fold a hand towel in half (length wise) and sew along the edges and in way that makes 4 pockets (of course you fill each pocket before you sew it completely shut). You usually pop them in the micro-wave for 3-4 minutes. It's so nice on a really cold day or when I'm really sore.

 

Thanks for sharing that really quick and simple idea!! I like how it doesn't take a whole lot of time to make.

Your welcome crojulie, I like the pocket idea,
