Summertime .....

.... and the living is easy....



This is one of my favourite songs and seemed appropriate for Jo's



However, as I live DownUnder and we are a rather contrary bunch down here, we are actually in the throes of deep Winter.

 So, instead of Summertime stitching, I give you instead my Happy Dance of my Magnificent Obsession....   

Winter Wonderland     (Well, it is a Shoe Horn Party! - lol)






I have had fun playing with some online photo editing programmes, the first photo has been created using Picmonkey and the second one using Fotojet.

... and here are the standard pics...






.... and just for dear Jo, in honour of The Tenuous Shoe Horn Blog Party - My Summer Holiday, today I started this design:


Have a fun Summer Blog Party everyone, 

hugs,

The shoe horn worked fine here, Kaye, lol. Great to see your Winter finish, it looks gorgeous with all its blues. And a great summer start as well. I love the bookmark that comes with the summer design.
