I'm a Picmonkey

I have been playing with a new photo editing software called

PicMonkey

coz I'm not too crash hot at taking photos

and

I NEED to fancy my photos up with a wee bit of

photo shopping!

It's a bit of fun and a bloody good time waster.

In other news

the clothesline has finally been erected

and

the pavers have been laid!

The new clothesline area is going to make my life far less complicated

(I just know it)

I have also been chipping away at a pretty frock!

If you haven't ever noticed (I secretly hope you haven't) my dresses are generally

made up in my head!

I then use an assortment of vintage patterns

to create a dress that I feel looks good.

I usually shave a bit off here and add a bit there, lower bust darts here

 (we are saggier breasted in the 21st century compared to the perky numbers we sported 40 years ago)

and take an inch or 3 off the necklines

(I think our necks are larger these days too)

Lets just say -  its all part of my wonderfully erratic crafty process.

Hope you're enjoying life.
