Green mood, color mood...

Well here it is... it was only a matter of time that this would appear.

Frog hooded towel

The hooded towel collection would not be complete without a frog.  I stuck to a soft green.   For some reason light green has become my color of choice.  I would not call it my favorite color, since I have never claimed to have a favorite color.  It is more of my favoring certain colors.  As I think about it, I tend to like muted earth tones like grays, blues, browns, greens etc.  But I have been in moods of more vibrant tones of yellows, oranges, pinks, reds...  I will attribute the whole purple and lavender mood I sometimes get into, to my sister.  She once gave me lavender corduroy short pant overalls, which were very comfortable.  That lavender got etched into my mind as being a comfortable color.

There were three or four choices of greens.  I want this to be my primary hooded towel frog color.  Deciding on the eye color took a while too, the eyes are not the normal black.  I was going to make them blue or even a green but finally decided on a dark brown.

Monkey towel

The towel(in the picture below) I made last year, the first one that I placed ears onto was a monkey.  It will be a one of a kind since I will not be attaching ears in the same way.

I decided to lower the position of the ears.  Still haven't decided if I will change it later, but for now that is where they will be.

Start of my Spring 2009

I am still here!  My posting have been few and far apart.  But they are about to start again, as I begin on my newest addition.  Hooded towels.  

The first hooded towels that I made were in 2007. They were gifts for my friend's two sons.  I have always thought hooded towels were a great thing.  You can just set it on your head and your hands are free to do other things without worrying about dropping the towel.  The towels I made in 2007 were just plain towels with a hood.  Last year when making another gift, I added ears to the towel.  

I was out shopping earlier this year and saw striped towels and thought... tigers! It was at that moment I knew I was ready to embark on creating them for Little frog.  I excitedly got a bunch of towels in gray and yellow.  And started on creating the tiger hoods.

More hoods to come in the next few days...

Dino attack!

You ask who would wear a dino hat?   It seems there are people that will.

The more I look at this Dino hat, I think it looks better in the blue green color.  Maybe I should think about making a purple dino.  Haha, maybe not.

Is that a smile? Maybe... maybe not.
