appearence is everything

i having some trouble settling on a template and font. the default is just a little to light for me to see easily, but i don't want it to look too dramatic. on the other hand this is just different enough from the lowcarb forum that i'm kinda confusing myself. i did finally put in a link, but trust me, it was not a pretty sight. it seems i'm being forced to learn something new despite myself.

christmas seems to ganging up on me. i have this overwhelming urge to make christmas wall hanging, don't know why. the little partridge in a pear tree post card at http://qnm.com/webextras/feature186/is calling my name. unforturnately, when i enlarged it to make it a little wall hanging size, it just didn't work as well. everything was just too big. and i really don't want to redraw the whole thing to keep the bird small and the leaves big. so i think i'm going to try it was a post card and the little tree too. and i have an idea for a snowman looking up as snow flakes fall around him - embroidery flakes hanging from organza ribbons so that the flakes float and sway.

and then there are the gift quilts i promised patty and sarah. i'm thinking purple harmonic convergence for patty. it's going to be tricky to make it big enough, maybe a bunch of hc blocks rather than one big unit. sarah wants pink oriental. here i am totally clueless. oriental design elements not really being one of my strong points. and i suspect she and i just might not agree on just what constitutes oriental design. but i found some pink vaguely orientals that might work with something simple and strippy. we'll see.
