My darling friends have the most beautiful twin girls. One is talented organizer the other is a star ballerina.(I created these Fairy Dolls for them). Bea is making her debut on the stage as a little mouse in the Nutcracker. How exciting! As a little girl I took my ballet VERY seriously and I adore watching her success and joy as she grows into talented dancer.
Her Mummy who is one of the best Mummies you can imagine. She thinks long and hard of how to encourage and inspire her girls. But it was a bit of shock to her to find out that it was a first night tradition to give little dancers a pressie to say ‘break a leg’. Did you know that? I didn’t. So an emergency text was sent to me enquire if I had a mouse ‘in stock’. Well obviously ‘Yes’ normally – but the cupboard was bare!
I found a cute little pattern by Lucinda Guy in her book, Designs for Kids and quickly little Mousie was born. Now if I had more time I might have created a little tutu etc. But the pink stripes say something along those lines and I put a few beads in the base to make sure little Mousie sits nicely in the dressing room.
Now can I think of anything to make for a little organizer….?
What a very sweet little mouse. How about a crochet pen pot and notebook cover?
so so cute x
This is so sweet and I am sure was adored!
