Snow Snow - Dog in the Pond!


Wow have we had snow today. It started at 10am this morning (We did have a little bit yesterday)and stopped at 7pm tonight. Blizzard conditions as well. I am so glad I went Christmas shopping yesterday morning and got most of my presents ( just a couple more to get) and I went and did some food shopping yesterday afternoon so no need to go out today. My husband had to cancel a magic show because he couldn't get the car out of the driveway or down the road.
Our dog Chops thinks its great to have the snow pouring down on him - he has been in the garden so many times today - good job really because Trevor doesn't want to have to take him out for a walk ! Its now very icy out there.
Chops did think it would be fun to stand in the pond ! On Solid ice of course. He weights 4 stone so it must be thick.
It looks like Narnia in our back garden. Me thinks it might just be a white Christmas here in Buckinghamshire !!!!



Stay safe and warm everyone.

Textile templates

Playing with Photoshop today. My first attempts at combining two images.One is a fashion template and the other is my piece of textile work.


This is my original textile piece that I scanned in.




This is it combinined with a fashion template.



And another one where I repeated part of the work and then combinined it with the fashion template.


And some more.







Would love to have one of the dresses made up. What do you think?
I love using Photoshop but it would need a lifetime to learn how, and I think I actually prefer making the textiles.
