I think I'd make both ends of the towelrack show so you can tell more what the green is, and something darker for the border -- maybe a darler green or blue ...

 

Cara- do you think we are all driving you batty today on purpose ?

 

Not driving me batty one bit....like I said, I'd never get anything done anymore without my "creative consultants"

[busy-bee-lmt]

Morning, everybody. I ended up turning off the computers yesterday, because there was so much lightening and thunder going on. But, guess what, only a VERY FEW drops of rain out of all that blustering. Grrrrr!!!

My two bits on the pattern, Cara. For me there isn't enough contrast between the peach in the wall and the yellow in the duck. How about a real light blue and a dark blue or maybe a real light turquoise and a dark turquoise for the wall. Then you could leave the yellow border the way it was, because it helps to make the duck pop. BTW, when I was in nursing school, my friends and I did a skit to the song, "Rubber Ducky." Your pattern set off all kinds of good memories.

Have to keep this short, as I have a doctor's appointment today. And I have to be fasting, which means, of course, that I'm starving already. Happy crocheting.

Linda

Good Morning. I've been reading all the posts and catching up! It's another stormy morning and I'm staying in today.

 

Cara ~ I love the Duck pattern and am honored to be one of your "creative consultants."

 

Theresa, so glad you're joining us.

 

I'd better get busy; bye for now.

[Skysmom]

Hi again. I'm having a hard time getting into "Happy Housewife" stuff this a.m. and would much rather be here having fun!

 

Cara ~ It is so neat to see your designs come to life. The duck is so cute...maybe he could be "Just Ducky."

 

Hi Amanda, good for you for finishing your Penguin!

 

Julie ~ You get the award for the best avatars. Now, if we could just get rid of Krystal's.

[Misa]

By George I think I might have it! I added all the suggestions together and here's what I came up with:

And Mary has hit upon the perfect title! Y'all are brilliant!!!

[Skysmom]

Cara ~ I love it! The towel works great and I really like the "random" wall tiles, too. And there is even a smilie!

[JulieKay]

PERFECT !!!!

[JulieKay]

Thanks, Mary

Yea, I have been working on getting rid of Krystal's avatar .....believe me .

 

I just like goofing around with them and changing them, so it's never boring in here .

[QueenOfCrochet]

That's perfect. Great job Cara.

[busy-bee-lmt]

That's Just Ducky, Cara!!!! Hehehehe!!! He's perfect.

I knew you just needed the right stimulus to get cracking, Julie. Good job.

Congratulations, Amanda!:cheer:yay

The doctor's visit went well. Antibiotics for the sinus infection. Got a "good job" on the diabetis. Need to see a psychiatrist on the depression management. One of my better visits in a while.

[judianne]

Cara, I LOVE "Just Ducky"!!

[sewnsew]

Oh Cara I love it. It looks so cute. I may have to try it out with Heather if it's okay

[hseger]

Cara it's perfect!!!

Go right ahead Donna! I have to finish 1 or 2 WIPS yet.

[Krystal16]

Love Just Ducky! Keep it up, Julie - even I'm getting sick of Arnold...

[JulieKay]

Krystal

 

BEST NEWS I HEARD ALL DAY .

 

 

 

That's what I'll do , I 'll wear you down. You have to look at that ugly little mug everytime you see your messages on here. Maybe YOU will get sick enough of him to take him out before I have to .

 

I'M still allowed to change avatars every day .....

[Krystal16]

Sorry, Julie - I've learned that sometimes life has to be difficult for me to enforce my own rules. Arnold will definitely stay until I see that Woven Blocks posted with 12 squares and its border.

 

C'mon - aren't you the LEAST bit interested in what he's turning INTO?

[JulieKay]

Krystal

I may need new glasses, but from what I can see, he is still just as ugly and obnoxious, only smaller .

[Krystal16]

Oh, but that green, green grass in the bottom corner should help you to see that better days are coming!

[Aussie]

Morning everyone,

 

Cara Just Ducky is perfect, well done.

 

Amanda congrats on finishing.

 

Linda Im glad everything went well at the docs.

 

Julie did you finish another block while I was sleeping.

 

Krystal is Arnold going to change into another picture. How clever is that.

 

 

Well I didnt do much last night. About 12 squares then I went to bed around 10.30pm. Earliest I have been to bed in ages, I was obviously tired.
