Here is Mrs. Harris and Nikki feeding the hens.
Wheeeee, free wheeling down the hill!
Fresh apples for an apple pie.
I am intending to turn these into pdf files as mentioned earlier, but time has once again run away and it's not been done. Lots of rough sketches for more Mrs. Harris & Nikki. These were worked in running stitch and a little chain and satin stitch, she stands approx 8" tall from her wellies to her hat and is worked on a buff coloured polycotton fabric.
I am considering selling these three embroideries if you are interested, my email is in the sidebar.
(I also am working on an applique with her hanging out a patch work quilt and am getting out my paints to do a painting of them, so watch this space!)
This week I am a winner...yay! Paper and String were having a giveaway and here is the package I received. Exciting eh.
and this is what I chose....4 bundles of felt and a large packet of fancy buttons.
Lush or what. I was allowed to choose £10 of goodies from her shop and what a shop!
Here is the link http://paper-and-string.blogspot.co.uk/ go and have a looksie, lots of lovely, yumminess lurking in there.
To end this post here is a photo of Nikki doing what she does best, posing!
Sheep are not for chasing, but for sitting on. haha. See you in a fortnight, take care.

The pictures are just adorable - I really like that you have made them in one colour - they look quite oldfashioned, but so quirky at the same time.
