Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Crafting

I blame Bejewelled Blitz for my sensitivity to repetitive stress. Years ago I would spend eight hours a day beating that mad game. It left me with all sorts of aches and pains in my right wrist and arm. This morning I have woken up unable to make a fist and with that awful dead finger feeling, because I spent around eight hours cutting out little 3d hot air balloons. To say I have an obsessive nature is an understatement. So what to do today now anything requiring dexterity is out of the question? Finishing off my display for the sale on Friday for sure. I took an old artist case and lined it with pretty collected papers and masking tape. Made a brand sign with stick on and felt letters, and now I'm going to paint the exposed cheap looking wood with a gorgeous paint called liquorice. I've gone a bit shabby chic and twee, but the sale area is so grim (college reception) I want to sit somewhere pretty. Here is a picture of it halfway through. Hopefully my new phone will arrive today so I can take lovely pictures of the whole set up on Friday. Quite nervous now. Hope I sell stuff.
