A Little Mouse House



I try to make a gift for each of my kids for their birthdays. One has a birthday right before Christmas and one right after. I like the idea that they have something special made by their Mama. In the past, I have made little artist sets, bean bags, and a even a waldorf style doll.  


About a month ago, my daughter saw this Nursery Versery fabric by Heather Ross and LOVED it. She asked me to make her a round container and went about picking out the perfect fabric for the inside. Julie (my friend and shop owner) and I made lots of suggestions, but she wouldn't have any of it. This is a girl who knows her own mind.  : ) After carefully looking all around at all the bolts, she decided she liked this print from Cuzco by Kate Spain.


For her birthday I thought it would be cute to make a pair of little mice to go in her basket. They are a hit!  She has already requested two more smaller mice to play with.

  1. Cute little squeakers! And I love that she knew exactly what she wanted in a fabric. Pretty soon she'll be pushing you out of the way to sew it herself too :P
