Rebe has been invited to a wee friend's birthday party tomorrow. We put our heads together and came up with a present she will hopefully like:
A take along mouse house :-)

| it folds up and buttons with a little wooden button like a handbag |
 |
| the mouse house and Katie's mouse |
 |
| cooking in the kitchen |
 |
| relaxing in the living room |
 |
| running a nice hot bath |
 |
| mouse bliss |
 |
tucked up in bed :-)

I probably had way too much fun making this gift. I used lots of scraps of felt and fabric. The mouse herself is white felt stuffed with a little sheep's wool. I designed each room on paper then found the right pieces of fabric and machined them all together. The whole thing is backed on a firmer weave fabric to give it a bit of strength and durability.
I hope the birthday girl will get much joy and pleasure from it :-)
Oh that's so cute! I especially love the mouse in the bath :)
ReplyDeletelol, I have so many ideas now for these play scenes, thinking armadillo's and special agent cat head quarters and the like for my kids :-)
DeleteI saw this on facebook, it's so cute! May have to steal this idea, I've seen some on pinterest but this is the kind of style I would be able to achieve!
ReplyDeleteoh definitely sam, give it a go, I had so much fun making it :-)
DeleteThis is lovely, you are so clever, I would love to make something like this. xxx
ReplyDeletethank you :-)
Deleteadorable! So sweet :-)
ReplyDeletethanks x
DeleteMy goodness, that's adorable! What fun!
ReplyDeletethank you :-)
DeleteI am sure the little girl will love it! One of my treasures is a fabric book my mom made for me as a toddler. It had all kinds of fasteners to work out.
ReplyDeleteshe was thrilled with it, that sounds like a wonderful treasure! my mum made us a woodland scene, the tree zippered open, there were flowers to be tied or buttoned on, a velcro rabbit and a hook and eye owl. I was so delighted when she made one for our kids too :-)
DeleteOh I love it! I want to make something like that for my little guy when we go to church.
ReplyDeletegood idea, I'd say they'd be great for trips and things like that too, I wish I'd thought of it earlier and had time to make one for the kids before leaving for our holiday tomorrow...never mind :-)
Deleteoh my gosh! that is so sweet.<3
