Well...it's 5:30am and I still haven't been asleep. I did sleep a couple of hours night before last but I was up all day yesterday and all night last night. I'm still wide awake! :( Richard will be heading out the door in a few minutes and Hunter will be getting up in a few minutes. Andrew will run me to town to the grocery store later today too.
I'm still working on my Illusion quilt. I should have the top completed this evening and ready to quilt. I will probably do the binding by machine since I am pressed for time.
I also need to bind this quilt. It is a 4 patch flip that I quilted last January but never got the binding on it. I need to get the binding done on it as it will also be a gift.
I connected a few more hexie sets. My stack is slowly growing.
Here is my little tub that I keep by my seat to work on my hexies. Nothing fancy but it has a lid and I can grab it and go if needed. I try to keep what I need in it to work on them. You can see some hexies, pins, straw needles, threads, scissors, thimbles, my glasses, and for some odd reason there is a pen and my fitbit in there! LOL! I guess the Fitbit should be on my wrist not in the tub with my hexies. :(
I am also working on my Step 2 for Bonnie Hunter's mystery quilt. I started out doing these sections a different way and then just found that it was taking me longer so I changed over and started doing them this way. Right now I am almost finished sewing the brown (which would be her "black") on the neutral rectangles.
I also whipped up some pumpkin cake donuts with cream cheese icing. I made these yesterday and they are completely gone now. Believe it or not but I didn't have the first one of them.
I had a doctor's appointment the other day and long story short....I need to exercise and lose some weight. :( I have some old hip and leg injuries that have been giving me some problems along with my back. I have arthritis in the all but most of the pain is from the extra weight being put on them. I also need to build up the muscles in my hip/leg area. :( Not what a person wants to hear but it could always be worse.

I wish you were able to get some sleep, Kristie. You certainly are getting a lot done, but you could probably benefit from more rest and less productivity, if your mind and body would cooperate!
Illusion is coming along very well.
That is a beautiful 4 patch flip, too.
I have a very similar little box for handwork that I use in the evening or grab when I will be on the go. Handy, huh?
Wishing you well in your efforts to find better health. Always a challenge, and I am dealing with some of that myself.
