Again, I have to admit ~ I wasn't intending to make a "mouse house" for Mia. Again, something I began sewing turned into something completely different. It's a prototype fail, but a "mouse house" success. Do you know the book, "Goodnight Moon"? (Within those cardboard pages you'll find Mia's favorites: "... a little toyhouse, and a young mouse.") I guess that's why she took so extraordinarily to this soft pudgy house.
I put a chime inside for her. And I embroidered a tiny mouse...
And she lights up every times she sees it. "Houssse," she says. And she turns it around to point at the mouse. "Moussse." I swear I'd freeze her exactly as she is right now if I could. Even when she makes this big of a mess with a cupcake.
Though, I promise I'll never buy cupcakes with blue frosting again!
