Houses

I got the houses put together with the yellow sashing. I don't like the lower right area but not sure what to do about it. The yellow is too wide there. Maybe I can fill it with quilting or applique something on there. The border looks quite dark in the photo but in real life it's quite bright.

I couldn't stop with the houses. I really like the wintery one on the right. It looks a bit Japanese with the long red flag on the side. On the middle one, I wish I had cut the red window off at top of the gold so it would look less like a dragonfly (which it is) and more like a curtain.
Tomorrow I'll make some trees.

New House

I have had a lot of help from bloggers on the mistake that I wrote about yesterday. The most common suggestion, which I will probably do, is to make more blue patches, or even many colors to make it look like it is a design thing. Great idea! Much better than ripping out.
On the New Year's Resolution front, aside from the general eat better, exercise more, lose weight, etc. which everyone makes and almost no one keeps, my resolution is one of Freddy Moran's rules. Never point out your mistakes. It is a bad habit I have. Totally not necessary or useful. The exception to that rule for me will be on my blog. There I get helpful advice, as in yesterday's post.



Meanwhile, I have made one new house and several trees for my forest. What can be more fun than that?
