I've been working on this embroidery piece. I get the feeling that somehow my mood shows in any handy work I make. This one is specially mellow, like this winter time, like the warm feeling of being in the couch stitching this after putting my girls to bed at night.
I made this embroidery based on a illustration by Beatrix Potter. The little mousy's name is Hunka Munka, and the story says that she stole some doll's dresses to wear herself, cute isn't she? This is my 'theme declaration' for the Hoop up! stitch and send swap, so I'm open to any vintage illustration embroidery, or anything my partners think goes well with this lady mouse.
Some more pretty illustrations...
I wanted to add this pattern as a freebie but I wasn't sure if that would be OK, because copyright issues. Besides the fact that I wouldn't claim any author's right over it, and that it isn't an actual embroidery pattern, I thought it would have been nice to share it as a pattern. What do you think?? I leave it up to you. Just let me know, I can always add it as a freebie.
She is darling! So cute and I like CUTE things!!!
I like the movie Miss Potter so this is extra cute!!!

I just love that embroidery pattern....If you share it that would be nice but in the same time, I wouldn't want you to be in trouble....

Oh so cute! Would love to have the pattern, but don't know about the copyright thing? Hope you can figure out a way though.
Blessings,

Interesting crewel embroidery rendering of Hunka Munka. I wonder how's that they get to sell the pattern if it's a copyrighted image. I used an image form a book and used in a quilt for myself.
I'd love to take a look at your Hunka Munka embroidery.

I didn't embroidery it. I am working on how to figure out how to work out the pattern. Then get someone to stamp it on my canvas.I would like to get the embroidery pattern that someone offered. Thanks, Teresa
