mice are nice



I've been busy stitching tiny mice.  They look really sweet in grey with pink ears...


And they are lots of fun in assorted colors, too.


I used a pattern from this book, and packed up mice for gift-giving with copies of my favorite mouse-related books: Tumtum & Nutmeg by Emily Bearn, The Mousewife by Rumer Godden and Mouse Tales by Arnold Lobel.


I made an adjustment to the pattern and added a bit of extra fabric to the base, so these tiny pocket-friends are also finger puppets.


 Someone around here is fond of this blue one. This mouse will be staying at our house...

    Hello! I made a very small felt mouse a while ago. I didn't use a pattern, just drew my own mouse-shaped body, and added two pink ears, and a long grey tail. It turned out really nicely. My Mom has it sitting in front of her computer monitor, now! I love your idea to make a mouse puppet! So cute!! ~Janet in Canada
