A Mouse Tale


I'm not much of a sewer, but I do like to make little bits of things when the mood strikes. My mother got a sudden hankering for a little felt mouse and so I obliged. I found a good pattern HERE, though I had too much trouble turning the tiny arms inside out, so I decided flat felt arms were good enough for her.

I raided my not insignificant scrap stash for her skirt, and quilt and pillow pieces (still in the process of making her bedding). When I'm done, she'll reside in a 250-count matchbox, cozy as...well, a mouse.

  2. Hi Leah, what an adorable little mouse even with her own bedding. I like it when people do handcrafts. I also admired your beautiful crochet on top. When I was younger i did lots and lots of handicrafts. Once I crocheted a whole mouse family, actually two mouse families with family tree and everything! They are still here somewhere in a box. Perhaps a bit worse for wear from my grandchildren. Happy days with busy hands! T.
