Please meet Mrs. Miniver...
Lovingly and firmly Needle felted in wool..
She stands 11 3/4" tall, hand painted glass eyes, hand stitched cotton tea stained apron, and horsehair whiskers.
I have needle felted her a few radishes for her to carry in her apron.
I hope she gave you a smile.. Thank you for visiting.
She is available on Ebay
OMG Penny, she is GORGEOUS! You have such a feeling for these little creatures and we need this spirit, to keep us sane and happy! Hope your week starts happy and fun!
ReplyDeleteWell,well, well....have you no limits? NO...you do not. As long as this world is populated with creatures great and small, your imagination will take off beyond our expectations....dear friend, YOU BLOW MY MIND.
ReplyDeleteHer little radishes, is this NOT THE CUTEST? Her little apron, her "tablier" is precious and Tea Rat thinks it wise that you TEA-STAINED it! Very precious, and it is now harvest time...my goodness, already? Mrs. Miniver, do you also pickle your vegetables to keep them during the winter? Do you can them? I bet you have many skills! teeeheheheheeee
Oh Penny, another "coup de génie" (a stroke of genius) that has given me a huge smile, as I think about going back to school tomorrow. Martina is correct in saying that we need this spirit you weave out to keep us SANE and HAPPY in a world of stress, schedules and unknowns!
BIG HUGS and so many thanks for this magic!
WELL MRS. MINIVER! You Do can and pickle! OK, Tea Rat here...I want to place an order for two dozen jars of gerkins, three dozen jars of peas and four dozen jars of pearl onions. I will be simmering a lot of stews this winter for Rattus and myself, and I wouldn't trust any other green grocer but YOU! Besides, that little apron of yours is SO CHIC....teeeheheheee
ReplyDeleteThank you Penny! OH! I just read on the Bay Area....we are calling Ruben's sister!
Oh Penny ~ Your needle felt characters always touch my heart . Mrs .Minerva is a wonderful example of joy, she truly make me feel happy just to view her. Once again your talents and the happiness you bring amazes me !
ReplyDeleteOwwwwwwww what a sweet bunny.....lovely week enjoy.....love Ria...x!
ReplyDeleteMrs Miniver is great! I KNOW how much work went into this felting, having tried my hand at it.Of course Dimity would love to ride in that apron, it's perfectly cozy for a mouse. I am sure Mrs. Miniver will find a home quickly, she has the perfect demeanor for a hare, and would be of great service with garden chores.
ReplyDeleteMrs Miniver is so darling! I love her gary and white coloring with her cute little white paws, pink nose, the apron with the blue buttons and carrying the radishes!
ReplyDeleteSmooches to the adorable stuffed rabbit!

Oh my Penney - she does make me smile. What a little charmer...love her radishes...just makes her complete in every way. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteHello Mrs. Miniver. Oh Penny, she is delightful. The eyes and whiskers look so real. The radishes add a special touch, and I smiled when I saw them because my dad used to have a garden and would plant the most delicious radishes. Your posts always bring a little sunshine to my day, Penny. Thank you for that.
ReplyDeletelove,

She is simply adorable..I think she would be so cute living at Downton Abbey with Mrs Patmore in the kitchen:)
ReplyDeletePenny,
ReplyDeleteI sit here with tears of joy and happiness as I appreciate your creative talent and genius. Ms. Miniver is beyond amazing, she appears real with those wonderful radishes in her apron. Her size is perfect for someone to adopt and love her forever. Penny you delight my senses and always surprise me.
Sorry I was late to respond, I took a weekend break from blog land, we were with close friend staying at their Westport CT amazing home.
Hugs and Happy Monday,

OK -- I take back everything I've said about all the others being my favorites. THIS is my favorite of all time Penny-ness! She is simply glorious and I adore all the additional detail! Bravo!
ReplyDeleteI also think I may be late in thanking you for comments on the Gypsy. I've been traveling and you know how that goes!
Glorious. Viva Mrs. Miniver!
She's adorable! That's just How I carry my vegetables!! (well, I use the bottom of my shirt... I don't wear many aprons....) We got plenty of horse hair around, if you run out of whisker fodder! :)))))
ReplyDeleteDear Penny,
ReplyDeleteHow DO you create such magic? Mrs. Miniver could not be more perfect! Thank you sharing your special talents with us; the world is a better place because of them.

Just when I think I've seen it all...you come up with more adorable creations. Oh, this is just too sweet, Penny! :)

Hello Mrs. Miniver! Are you getting ready for fall little rabbit?I hope fall is coming your way because the bunnies at Rabbit Hill are hunkering down for they know cooler weather is coming. LOVE THOSE RADISHES!!!!
ReplyDeleteSweet Penny, thank you for coming to comment! WHEW am I ever exhausted. The first week of school is a killer on the feet and even the kids are tired! There is so much to do and learn and I'm so glad that Monday is Labor Day!
Big hugs to you dear friend, Anita
Penny, what an utterly, completely adorable bunny!!!!! Beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteI had thought to just drop by, and thank you for your comment, but when I saw this ... WOW!
Thank you most kindly for your comment on the horsey painting. I must say, I am in that strange painter state where I can't really see it objectively.
And Bruno and I both thank you for your kind words - he really has had a rough week.

Good morning, Penny,
ReplyDeleteIt is a pleasure visiting here :)
I just feed Bruno his morning hay, and I was so glad to see the lumps and bumps have almost disappeared.
