Re: Show Off Your Crafty Stuff!
That's lovely, Annie! I've never tried bobbin lace but I guess I don't need another hobby...
Re: Show Off Your Crafty Stuff!
Wow! You are all so talented! I love the butterfly - that's a labor of love.

I only just started to crochet a few weeks ago.
This is the first square of a lap blanket I am making for my old soldier

I notice the white mouse has no eyes. L@@K LOL
I would list them as "ornies", bowl fillers, tucks.
Maybe a picture of them in a bowl or a glass jar with some ornaments in the mix.
(Check eBay or Ornies, Bowl Filers and Tucks)

Very nice. What a wonderful gift.
I remember going to a flea market and there was a lady doing the spool lacing. Very interesting.

Police, white mouse has pale pink eyes and nose - just difficult to show on the pic.
I checked them out as suggested but see it is a US thing, couldn't find any UK ones.
Ah, well, they will just have to carry on living here! :)

Another suggestion:
Crochet a long chain and the have the mice hanging from them making . . . .
A mouse garland to decorate the house or Christmas tree.
I made this soft chair from a pattern that I had for years.
I found a plaid skirt and ripped it apart to use the fabric for this chair.
It's about 10 inches tall

Re: Show Off Your Crafty Stuff!
So many ideas! I'm just about to start making Cat Christmas decorations - found a pattern for Halloween key rings - well, I don't do Halloween and key rings are a bit like egg cosies, no-one really needs another one. So cat key rings will become cat tree decorations - each one will have a festive ribbon round its neck. However, I haven't started yet....
Re: Show Off Your Crafty Stuff!
OMG!...Is it nearly Christmas?
I want to make toilet roll holders, but I have a lap blanket to finish.
Christmas will have to wait till next year lol
