A Good Mouse
Coming in late to share this Good Mouse toy I made for a friend's new baby.
He's from a Barrett Wool Co. kit. I chose the Earthen colorway, and didn't buy the special buttons. Instead I used some buttons I think I'd imagined sharing with my daughter-in-law who loves cats. But the idea of cat buttons on a mouse's jacket was too fun to resist.
The kit had yarn for all the clothes, but if I had to do it over again, I'd make the overalls and either the sweater or the jacket. And the hat. Somehow it just feels like too much when he's all dressed.
As always, a toy designed by Susan B Anderson is a fun project. I hope he's being enjoyed.
Adorable! Cat buttons on a mouse's sweater are such a cheeky and fun choice -- one I fully support!
ReplyDeleteHe is an adorable mouse and his fall wardrobe (complete with cat buttons) makes him even better! I just noticed that his overalls have pockets, and these are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteSo stinkin' cute, Pam!!! I just love Susan's kits/patterns, and I'm always just charmed by little overalls and sweaters. So nicely done!!! (And those cat buttons are the perfect finishing touch.) XO
