Okay, is it just me, or does no-one else sleep properly the night before a show?  I finally gave up tossing and turning at 5:45am and dug my laptop out here at mum and dad's.  We have to leave at 7:15 to get to Rivington, so it's not too bad, but jeez, I'm forseeing being a wreck in November with 2 shows so close together, I need sleep    I didn't sleep before Sheffiled either, but I thought some of that was to do with being in a hotel room

I usually have trouble getting to sleep because I'm trying to think of all the things I've forgotten! And then keep waking up because I'm afraid I'll sleep in
   Best of luck at the show!

Have a great show, Katy!

Surely the night before the show is for sewing on ears, writing tags, and finishing off that 'just one more bear' that you think you can squeeze in. Then, at 4 a.m. you have to make the decision
: 2 hour power nap V three cups of strong coffee! Or is that just me? The last show I did I very carefully packed 4 arms, 4 legs, 2 heads, 4 ears and everything needed to finish the bears in the hotel, except................2 bodies!!!!!!

Katy you are not alone!! I'm always a ball of nerves before a show (although I always thoroughly enjoy myself once it starts) and surprisingly it was even true for the online show I am participating in this weekend!  :o

Have a great show Katy!!!

Well it was another sale-free fair, but I did get some great advice, as well as some very funny stories from my neighbour across the aisle, Graeme from Apple Pie House, hey ho, onwards and upwards as they say!

Um, I was finishing bearth certificates on the morning of the fair on one of the tea tables  :redface:   Had to give up the night before to try and get some sleep, as I've not been getting much of late (should have just stayed up!)

Ahhh another late finisher here!  Writing tags at the show is usual for me, sometimes the tags get done only when the bear gets sold lol.. I'm not as hardy as Dawn tho, I'm usually stabbing myself with the needle because I'm half asleep by 11 and off to bed midnight at the latest. I'm of the school that if you have everything finished days before the show, then you need to make more
