cool new toys...

Since Christmas is over, I was ready with new stuff for the digs. Last night I went looking for a better set of progress bars, since hot pink doesn't work with primitive colors very well. Found some great sites and this one from Yarn Tomato. Not only does she have 3 sizes and a whole bunch of pre-made bars in cool colors... She also has a little section to choose you own colors and make your very own. That's where I made my set of Goldenrod. **looky to the right>>>...keep looking***

Be aware that for now the numbers are in black and won't change so you have to stick with a color in the hexadecimal color code provided that shows the black numbers. Although I did email her about having an option for making them white so they show up on dark colors. I'd like a nice dark red set. Once you make your numbers..21 in all for 1 to 100, and save each one, you can then load them into some place like flickr or Picasa Web and stick them in your sidebar as a picture.

**Remember too that if you use these, PLEASE give proper credit to Yarn Tomato. You'll see at the bottom of the right column I have her listed and linked to her site. Lets give proper credit where it's due***

PS: I'll be back with quilty stuff too later on! Hope you enjoying your holidays!
PPS: I am bowled over at the wonderful birthday wishes ladies..you have made my day extra special!

Woo-hoo! Look at you, all dressed up! LOL! I think we're all ready for a nice change now that Christmas is past! And I think the black shows up just fine on your progress bars!

Lookin' good . . . . but when you start using words like 'hexidecimal' my eyes begin to glaze over *s*
