As you can tell by the title of this post that we have been battling sickness. Thankfully they have been of the short-lived variety. However they involve small children and massive amounts of time in the bathroom. The real downside was that it hit our household twice. Blech.
So with that being said, today's tip is to wash your hands often. It will help you to avoid illnesses and that leaves more time for quilting. Since you will be washing your hands often you may want to invest in a good moisturizer or a good moisturizing soap. Having a good moisturizer in your sewing area would be a good idea though. That way you can keep your hands nice and smooth and feeling good. Plus you get a little bit of a hand massage when applying and that can only help with keeping our fingers limber and from getting sore. I know it seems strange, but after having a job where I worked with lots of paper I noticed that my hands would be come drier and drier from handling all that paper. That has encouraged me to always be on the look out for good lotions and to avoid overuse of hand sanitizers containing alcohol as they will also dry out your hands. After all we really count on our hands to do a multitude of things, especially with our quilting. We need to take good care of them so we can enjoy many more years of quilting!
Hope everyone out there is avoiding being sick, but be sure to drink plenty of water and get plenty of rest anyway.
Happy Quilting!
