Matt Smith's The Doctor Mouse

This little Doctor Who Mouse is the 11th regeneration of The Doctor: Matt Smith. He has braces, tweed jacket and of course a little red bow-tie. He carries his own little sonic screwdriver and even has Matt Smith's characteristic floppy fringe.

This mouse is hand sewn using felt, silks, ribbon, beads, glue, cardboard, wood, monofilament and he is stuffed with polyfil. He stands approximately 2.5inches tall (6.5cm)

My Creative Space

This week I received another batch of mice from Naomi in the mail. Amongst them was a special little surprise for me: an Anna Mouse! She is so special, just look at that tiny mini-mouse she is sewing! She even has little dreadlocks. I will treasure her always, what a wonderful gift.

Wednesday Wisdom

To make an Etsy Treasury really special,
choose listings that mean something to you.

Sometimes, even though I want to make a Treasury, I just can't think of a decent theme to tie it all together. I bet I'm not the only one! I realised recently that if I make a Treasury based on my feelings or my life situation at the time, it often flows really well. It has more of a 'meaning' to me, and it's easier to spot the items that fit in with my 'feeling' (like a Moodboard!) than it is to randomly look for items that might look good together.

Also, this way, if it does make it to the Front Page, I'd be sharing a bit of my life or my soul with thousands and thousands of people. That's pretty cool!

The first Treasury that I made for The House of Mouse.

Much love,
Naomi xx

Monday Moodboard: Midnight

My little boy had a nightmare last night and woke up crying. After comforting him back to sleep, I couldn't get back to sleep myself, so I put together a fitting moodboard ;-)
