Friday Folksy Finds - More Mice

Having found my lovely little Fiona by Peach Plot I was inspired to look at other designers' mice on Folksy and found many more wonderful mice.  Becca has been encouraging me to make some animal headed dolls for a while and when I can get back in the workshop maybe I will.

Still locked out of the cabin workshop, Becca is a head of schedule but still working frantically for her final show and the the cabin is a bomb site.  My trusty old sewing machine has moved further and further down the table and is now back in it's case on the floor.  When she is ready it is going to take a week just to get rid of the dust.

But back to my many more mice, I hope you enjoy this mischief of mice.

All Things Ottoline

This little hand stitched lovely is by All Things Ottoline and stands on a vintage cotton reel. The shop is run by Erica Jane Waters and there is a website, www.allthingsottoline.com. Erica describes Madeleine the ballerina as a Ville Mouse and there are others on her website but sadly no more on Folksy, just Madeleine.

Wild Things

At the right age Becca would have adored this little pinnie by Kirsty Hartley of Wild Things. Sadly again this is the only item on the shop but the details and design are just so sweet, the pockets are little paws with tiny pink claws.

Moonstruck Miniatures

These amazing miniatures are custom made cake toppers for wedding cakes.  Again, the only item for sale by Miriam Lacey up in Glasgow but the shop offers custom mice and explains how you can customise you mouse topper.  The detail is fantastic and apparently every hair is punched in by hand.

The Hunny Bunny Company

There are lots of plush and knitted dainties on the pages of The Hunny Bunny Company and plenty of knitted mice but I just love this little message mouse.  They look beautifully made and the details are gorgeous.  There is a menagerie in the shop just have a peep, there is even a knitting knitted mouse!

Witty Dawn

You couldn't have a mouse page without a wonderful retro mouse by Dawn Witt of Witty Dawn.  This lady has a cornucopia of vintage fabrics and wonderful creatures and cushions using retro cloth.  I have my eye on a 50's fabric leaf cushion but am trying to resist.  If you are looking for a gift with a vintage twist take a look at this shop.

There are so many more mice on Folksy it was hard to just stick with five, if you are a musophile have a peep and enjoy the multitude of mice.
