Colorful Lizard

 Have you had one of those weeks that you work on things and want to tell everybody about it but you can't?  Yep, that is me this week.

I started another test pattern and I think I will like to work on it.  It has parts that aren't going as well as I would hope but with a deadline of 4 weeks looming, I have to keep at it.  Since it is another test pattern I can't share it yet.

Then there is the 12 days of Christmas swap.  The last day of that is to be something that we make  I have something in mind but once again, I can't share since my partner reads my blog.  I have given her a couple of clues though (evil grin).  I know she recognizes one of them, or the shape of it at least, but she hasn't guessed yet what the final project will be.  Of course I can't show you so I still have to search for something I can share with you.

At first it was going to be more progress on my Fleur UFO.  I fused down two more blocks but since you have seen these blocks before so no pictures of it.

Then I was going to work on the binding on  a couple of things but putting on binding isn't exciting.  Oh yay, I would take a pix of black binding.  No, I still needed to search.

Next blog I might have a pix of another Farmer's Wife block.  Saturday is another day of working on it.  I am also going to work on another project which I can start to share.  Some of you might remember my turtle that I did.  It was a Gooden pattern.  I have another Gooden patter that I am working on.  This will be a lizard.  Today I took a picture of my first attempt at what colors to use on it.  Here it is.  What do you think?

I'm debating on a couple of colors.  I like the pop or orange but I put it in the biggest part.  perhaps there would be a better color?  I like, however, how the orange is almost reflected in the opposite corner where I have a gold/orange fabric.  I don't have a fabric yet for the round circle that the lizard's foot is on.  I'm not sure what it is supposed to be so I'm not sure what color I want to put it there.  If I can't figure it out, I'll just leave it out.

Speaking of color, I decided that the front of the house needed a little pop or color.  Here is my first attempt.  I will buy larger flowers soon to put in there.  They will be plastic flowers or silk flowers so I don't have to water them.  lol.  

That's about it for this post.  What are you working on?
