See it looks even better. Do you think some light green or grey would make it too dark? This is going to be great once you finsih. Hey are you doing the rail fence?

My thoughts exactly.
I wish I had the courage to do this :D

Who needs courage...it's only fabric, not brain surgery!!! It can always end up as a dust rag, right??? :lol: Thank goodness my mistakes won't kill anyone and the cat still wants to sleep on it ;)

maybe when you get a fence in it will seem right to you.
if you haven't done the stitching yet try a lighter shade of
green for the big tree in front of the building. just lay s different color against what you already have.

I love it - what I see is a house in front of a snow covered mountain. When you're finished if you don't want it, send it my way, I'd love to have it.
