Doing the background

Well, my girlfriends and I were supposed to have our yardsale today, tomorrow and Saturday. Today was cancelled and most likely tomorrow will be cancelled as well because of the rain. My car is still full. Refuse to empty it and load it all back up. If we don't have it tomorrow, the girls and I may take a trip to Gettysburg for lunch or the outlets or something. Just get out for the day. Saturday the weather looks nice, so I hope it goes well for the sale. LOL, it just hit me. I wonder if their cars are full too. One of us is going to have to make room for the ride..

Today was such a dreary day. A great day for hooking! I was able to work on the background some more. I did the small flowers, but after taking the picture and looking at it, I may change the colors. Not too happy with it. But..... I will give it a couple days and see if I change my mind and leave it the way it is. I need more background to get the full affect. I say that to everyone else, and people say it to me, but I never listen lol. I will this time. My arm is tired, so I'm quitting for the day. Hard to believe it's Thursday already. Sure hope everyone is enjoying their week! Be creative, even if it's something little....

Oh Beth, I do like the background. It's the little flowers that are gold purple and teal I'm not sure of. They are next to the gold honey comb flowers. May change up the colors on those.

Maybe use the darker red color of the big flower instead of the purple? The gold ones look nice.

Well, I looked at the colors you mentioned and I am not seeing a problem;) I like the colors in it. I never change out colors until the background is all filled in.
Then I also lay it where it will be displayed to see how the colors look in that lighting and then if something seems off or pops too much, then I change it.
