On the worldwide web we found the website of Ann Wood, a lady who likes drawing & colouring, crafts & sewing, just like us. She gives workshops, has a webshop and puts free patterns online, also just like us. We immediately fell in love with her Very Nice Mice and downloaded the pattern. So no pattern from us on PDF today, but go to Ann Wood's website and you can download hers right away!
