Just a little mousie April 24, 2008

James asked me if i could make him a ’snow mouse’ so i did.  He wanted a bell on the mousie’s tail and i swear i had to sew it on while i was walking around the living room cause the kitties were just waaaay to excited about it!!!  here is the little mousie:

Cute, huh?!  I used the free pattern from kristie: http://kristieskids.weebly.com/

 

So, i’ve got some more neat internet finds to share, and first up is a killer blog: http://amigurumiartist.blogspot.com/
