I had a big sewing afternoon today, making the cutest hedgehog you've ever seen and half a dozen little felted mice.
I used some felted jumpers from my stash and the pattern is from HERE. It was a super easy pattern with very clear instructions. I wanted the mice to have a Christmassy feel to them, so I used an old winter/Christmas jumper that I had felted earlier in the year. I'm giving one each to my 'Little Stitchers' group on our final class this year, with each child's name written on a tag and tied onto a tail. I'm hoping they'll be well received and a cute break up present for each of them.
While I stitched, Bella worked on a secret santa present for her sweet friend and then set to work making her own mouse using the new pattern. Meet 'Lemon' :
It was a fun afternoon of stitching. I need to start working on some Christmas decorations this week, perhaps something from 'Fa La La La' Felt book or maybe THESE Christmas pins. Love, love.
P.S. Don't mind the man's vest that Bella is wearing in the photo above - it's one that I felted a while ago and she has refused to take it off all day.
