Lucy the Knitting Mole

I'm so excited about the new moles that have arrived at The House of Mouse this week. Their little feet and hands make me giggle, and there is something about the black and pink colour combination that I just love. The moles join the hedgehogs as new creatures to come and live with the mice in our shop. I hope you like them! 

Lucy the Mole loves to knit! She's always clicking her needles, making something new. Nothing makes her happier than a new ball of yarn and a whole day to sit and knit! She would make a great gift for anyone with a healthy yarn obsession!

My Creative Space - Finding a Warm Spot

Three little Terry Mice have found their way into a cubby hole on my bureau: Just like real cats, they've snuggled into a cosy little corner. Don't they look cute all huddled in together? :-)

Spider-Mouse and Venom

In the chill of the night, at the scene of a crime, like a streak of light he arrives just in time: It's Spider-Mouse! Since he was bitten by a radioactive bug, spinning webs and catching bad guys are what this little mouse does best. As long as you have Spider-Mouse beside you, you have nothing to fear. This super-cute mouse is the perfect gift for your comic book geek!

Venom Mouse is arguably the most notorious of Spider-Mouse's arch-enemies. From his deathly black costume to his sparkling white teeth and super-long tongue, Venom Mouse truly is a fearsome creature. You wouldn't want a friendly lick from this little guy, that's for sure! This terrible little mouse is the perfect gift for anyone who loves Spider-Man and comics, or even those who root for the bad guys...

Gizmo the Mogwai Mouse

This little Mogwai mouse is so cute and fluffy, how could he possibly be any trouble at all? As long as you follow 3 simple rules, he'll always be your friend: Never expose a Mogwai to bright lights, never put it in water, and never feed it after midnight. Do any of these things and you're in for a whole heap of problems: Spawning evil gremlins that will reek havoc on your village!

This cute little Mogwai Mouse is the perfect gift for any fan of the Gremlins movies!

Gizmo Mouse was hand sewn using felt, fake fur, silks, beads, glue, monofilament and he is stuffed with polyfil. He stands approximately 2.5inches tall (6.5cm)

What a pair of cheeky monkeys!

We are a bit mad on monkeys here at home (as well as mice!), so when we discovered we were having a boy it seemed natural to give his nursery a monkey/jungle theme. I have been slowly picking up fun things from Etsy to decorate his room with ever since. I think my favorite little ornament has to be "monkey friends" by my sweet friend Maria from HeartshapedCreations.


My little monkeys arrived in the mail yesterday evening beautifully packaged, and although I didn't think it was possible they are even cuter than their photographs. I am amazed by all the little details that Maria put into them! If you don't already know about HeartshapedCreations then I highly recommend you visit her store, she has wall-to-wall cuteness for you to enjoy.

Here are a couple more of my favorites!

Cody the Computer Geek Mouse

Cody lives for perl, php and regex. Nothing gets him more excited than grokking the gimp! Cody's hero is Ratbert and his one wish would be for caffeinated cheese!

Cody Mouse was hand sewn using felt, ribbon, wire, paper, glue, monofilament and stuffed with polyfil. He stands approximately 2.5inches tall (6.5cm) His costume and laptop are not removable.

Robert Burns Mouse

Robert Burns was a Scottish poet. It was a pleasure to make this little custom mouse for someone recently. A little homage to the writer of pieces like "To a Mouse" and "Of Mice and Men"

Gene Simmons from Kiss Mouse

A few days ago I got one of those custom order requests that just made me go "Yay!!" A returning customer asked me if I could make her a Gene Simmons from Kiss mouse! I loved the idea! Here is how he looks all finished.



I am thinking about adding him to my store as a regular, although that will have to wait until my computer is back from the shop so I can use Photoshop make the pictures look better. I am still using my sloooow laptop at the moment, although we are expecting to get my main computer back any day now.

What do you think of Gene Simmons Mouse, do you think he should become a regular in my store?
