End of January sounds a great time to begin this sort of project. Something to cheer us all up and something new to focus on. I will be able to join in thanks to Dawn´s generous offer to send me a magazine. Will people mostly stick to the colours in the actual design or will you all be changing it to fit with where it will go in your house? I will change a lot of the colours so that it is more personal to me, I think, but when I have the pattern here I may change my mind.

I think for me I will be sticking to the colours it says, only because I am still new to cs so I don't want to confuse myself lol :oops:

I'm going to change the writing colour and the hair colour. The hair will be brown (same as me well it will be by the time I start doing this) and I'm going to do the writing to match the colour of the chair in my sewing corner a pretty purple colour :)

I have to wait until I actually have the pattern in hand but I do believe I will be changing some of the colors. Add more greens to it and maybe some brighter colors. Just have to wait and see how it looks when I pick the background color.
