Can't Sleep.

It's one of 'those' nights. Well, those mornings really. I woke just before 5am and can't get back to sleep, so here I am talking to you.
Fortunately it's my day off work today, though I do have to call into the Onchan office for a short time. I'll call into the craft shop while I'm through there. :-) Maybe I'll buy something, maybe I won't. I've been very good this month and not bought stash of any kind, my only crafty purchase has been the new magnifying glass.
Before going into work yesterday I completed the animal print top. Here it is. :-)
I also had time to piece together two large off cuts of batting, a necessary task as I don't have a piece the right size and also prepared a piece of fabric for backing. I carried all three and the pins, downstairs with me when I got up, I'll get the table cleared shortly and start pinning.

Hope your day starts off better than mine did.

I find not being able to sleep really frustrating. It's one of those things the harder you try the worse it seems to get.
I was glad to read you finished your Butterfly Fling quilt. It looks lovely.

When I wake up early I usually have good intentions to get to my crafting, but that often falls away to blogland and reading the paper with my tea!

The new quilt looks great. I haven't been in the fabric stores either but am saving my pennies for next month's big quilt show. Only a couple of weeks til we fly!

You Mum should love your latest effort. I hope your brain gets out of the not sleeping mode soon. Mine's doing the same, but at about 2am.
