A new embroidery!

This is my latest project!  Well, one of them anyway.... this is something I have wanted to do for a long time.  I found a beautiful oval frame at an estate sale last summer.  I wanted to embroider something that had an antique look to it.  I love love love the regency period .  ( Sense and Sensibility...)  this is a Kate Greenaway I scanned and then blew up  several hundred times then I put it on a light box and copied it to my fabric.  I am going to embellish it and I have changed a few other things......but I am happy with how it is coming out .  I am terrible at faces.  I just cannot seem to get them right which is why I chose this as a model.  The face is exactly what I love!!  So I am going to do the hat next.  I cannot wait to do the flowers around the brim!!  So so fun.  then I think I will do some flowers around the edges... not sure.... yet!  I always design my own stuff so this is strange to do something someone else designed but I love the picture so much I'm really enjoying it!             I received my new fabric from Aneela Hooey!!   .....If you don't know her you should this is her blog spot. ( link below)  Comfortstitching.....  I got her fabric from Moda fabrics.  She is a heavenly designer... everything she touches is beautiful.  I got her fabric collection called Sherbert pips! I think this is her first fabric and I pray not her last!! check it out  well, time to start dinner.  A long day of raking and  my back is killing me!!!!! I guess I better sit and embroider a bit!!!  Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!!!
