I've loved making these mousey things - they are so cute!
The watermelon parade is a one-of-a-kind, and is in the Folksy shop at the moment. SORRY NOW SOLD


I had to wake this little mouse to take a photo of him, and he wasn't very pleased (I'm sure he's frowning in the picture!). He has made his home in an old ticking 'stocking', so I stamped his name 'mouse' on a little piece of muslin and sewed it on the front, so that he knows he's welcome to stay as long as he likes.
Mouse is also available in the Folksy shop right now.

Christmas Elves are now available in the folksy shop. They have lovely soft velvet hats, hands and feet, and I just love their stripey cotton bodies! Prices from £22.

Ice-skating Mouse


Mouse was made by me on my Singer treadle machine using a Kentucky Primitives pattern. She is made from Osnaburg fabric which has been painted with acrylics, sanded and dyed with coffee. Her jacket has also been made in the same way. Her ice-skates are made from little sticks, and the message attached to her jacket with a rusty pin reads, 'Tis the season to be jolly'. She is a one-of-a-kind and is currently available in the folksy shop. SOLD
Just a reminder that you can see me at Nostell Priory Autumn Fair, nr Wakefield next weekend. Sarah x

Christmas Puddings


These Christmas puddings look good enough to eat, but they are actually made from muslin! They smell divine with their coating of strong coffee and cinnamon, and muslin wrappings (which have also been dyed with coffee). The holly leaves and berries are all hand-made too!
