Midnight Mohair Mouse

 

Little Giria is one of the midnight mohair mice I will be taking to Blackburn on Saturday 6th of July for the National Festival of Making Makers Market.

We will have quite a few midnight creatures as well as a range of dolls and small gifts. Our Imp Squeaks will be making their debut and all dolls will be at a special price just for the day.

The Market will run from 11am to 5pm with a talk from Patrick Grant and Esme Young from 3pm to 4pm. It will be a lovely day with lots of stalls and activities in the town. Come and say hello it will be lovely to see you.

This tiny pink mohair mouse with a pale pink eye and pink ears is wearing a lovely Liberty Tana Lawn called FairyTale Forest. The brilliant cerise underskirt with the paleness of the mohair makes the fabric pop with life.

This little mouse has rose quartz to her heart with rose petals in her stuffing. A midnight mouse with a rose tinted heart. She forms one of a trio of mohair mice that will be at the show. With little black leather shoes that have cerise stitching and laces her outfit is complete with a sampler pillow, organza ribbon and tiny buttons. I do so love making them. I am working on more embroidered mice for after the show and loving the work.

The roses in the photographs are from the garden. Big blousy garden roses are a delight to me and the garden is full of them at the moment. I am always torn between wanting to cut them and bring them indoors and leaving them to bloom outside. We have a new one this year called Alpine Sunrise and the flowers are huge with the most enchanting scent. The colder, wetter weather seems to be helping the garden glow. Everything is just bursting with blooms and flowers. We have planted lots of new perennials for the pollinators and we have seen so many different types of bees. Sometimes you can hear the buzz in the garden, it is so lovely. We haven't grown a lot of veg this year, turning the space over to flowers for the insects and we have been rewarded by so much colour.

Have a lovely weekend and it would be lovely to see you at the Festival if you can make it
