First, I’ve been so enjoying our discussion about creative dry spells this week! Your comments have given me some great food for thought, and some ideas on how to mitigate future dry spells. Thank you so much, as always, for your most-excellent brains.
I thought we’d have something very self-care-oriented today, since self-care really is at the heart of keeping those creative impulses flowing. Deb Roby made this excellent video of stretches for crafters a while back, and I still use it from time to time. Try it – you’ll feel amazing afterward!
…And have a lovely weekend, my friends.

The second video will not play. The First is good. I have forgotten how good these basic stretches feel.
Sorry to be confusing, but the second image is just an image, not a video. I have to include it in the post for reasons relating to my page display. The first one, the video, is the only piece of video I’m sharing here.
Thank you! I feel better already!
I just want to say you have a great video. Alot of the stretches I do. Yes they do feel great. I like the tennis ball/dryer ball idea. I had two of the dryer balls but hid them because grandchildren wanted to play with them. I hid them so well that I can’t find them. Thanks for the great video.
Deb Roby is the maker of this video – I was just sharing it. I’ll pass along your thanks!
Thanks to you, I feel better, now I will have to get me a little and big ball. I feel better already
Nice reminder! I also do a strech during computer work that works well for crafting too. Squeeze your sholders together like you are squeezing a lemon between them – hold the squeeze as long as you can or at least to the count of 30 – then release. Great reliver of tension.
Ooh, that’s a nice one – thanks, Melba!
