I have my leaves done

Great choice of fabric, really works well for those leaves

 

[katsdar]

Thanks, now what do you think of this? I didn't realize I have no tans, how crazy is that, so I have used what I have, and what do you think, should I change any colors?

 

[katsdar]

I think I need to change the sand, done working on it tonight, my light is not that good at night

Totally agree about changing the sand. Other than that looks really good

Just noticed I would put the island just a tad higher so there isn't that gap on the right side tree base.

That tree is pretty nice. I know computers are hard on colors but I like what you've got going.
It's freezing all over today. I left the house this morning to a crisp 9*. Aaarrgghhh!!!

I'm tempted to send in 12 - 12.5 cuts of beautiful fabric and call this one done!

Just kidding

I'm going to figure out what to do. The rail fence doesn't look especially pretty with a frame. I've got fabric left so I'm going to get creative with strips.

I got my first blue egg from Miss Smudge yesterday. When I picked it up it froze to my wet and very cold glove. I carried it into the house and had my darling man peel it carefully away from the fabric. When we got it off we saw that it had already cracked from end to end and was frozen solid.

Hope everyone stays warm or cool or whatever temperature suits your hemisphere!

Thanks for the compliment you know you can eat frozen eggs, sorry it was cracked, my girls egg production really dropped off, they are using their energy to keep warm, I didn't even go get eggs today, fed the chickens and that is as far as it went for me braving the cold. It is going to get to 8 over night and my bannies are still roosting in the trees.
