A Little Mouse Stopped By to Smell the Flowers

A while I ago I was browsing some images on the computer. Some that would be cute if transferred onto a piece of cloth and primitively stitched. I'm not a good stitcher, but I still enjoy doing it and practicing. I'm improving!

I found this little image of a mouse with a rake. I thought it was so cute and decided to try it but make a few changes. I added the flower garden and decided my little mousie would be smelling a flower. He's a cute little guy. I also added one of my favorite Mary Engelbreit quotes. Words to remember! We MUST bloom where we are planted.
Oh, I also added a tail...they forgot one. Every mouse needs a tail!

I have also been working on my fabric picture. I have "wrapped" two sunbonnet kids and I'm now deciding how I am going to place them.I am thinking I might put her near a clothes line or in a meadow of flowers. Thinking, thinking, thinking..... I took a break (just for a bit) when I saw online the cutest prim sheep! Look at these! They are made with french knots!

These are from a website called Just Crafty Enough! Easy and adorable. Think of the possibilities!

Yesterday I was organzing my craft bins. I found some goodies that I forgot I had! I started working on some cute St. Patrick's Day crafts. Pictures to follow when complete.  Last year I had purchased a bunch of St. Patrick's goodies. All kinds of party favors left over. I found leprechaun pipes (candy containers) and mini mugs. I'm adding some decoration to them. I think they'll be festive. They just need a few more special touches :) I'm planning a St. Patrick's Day brunch with a friend and her dear Aunt who has hosted me in her in-home tea room several times! This wonderful lady has special room, built by her husband, just for her high teas! A beautiful sunroom filled with tea items (pots, cups, signs, lace, pillows, a lovely table--all very victorian)  The leprechaun pipes filled with chocolate coins and goodies will be cute favors when she visits my country home! I promise I will show you when I am done.

I hope you are all happy and keeping busy too!
