Marching mice



"We are the marching mice,
We march from Here to There,
We marches up and marches down,
We do not have a care!"




"We are the marching mice,
We do not give a fig,
For bears or geese or silly dogs,
Although we're not that big."





"We are the marching mice,
We marches all night long,
And when our tails begin to fail,
We sing this little song."



PS - many thanks to CUTEABLE , for giving the Mice Brigade a mention.

  2. Goodness, Gretel,
    three little beauties,
    really really great looking mice!

    I cannot imagine how many hours must have gotten into creating them. Congratulations!
    May I make you a pot of tea to relax with now?

    Did you pen the tune as well?

  14. Those mice are nice! Well, PG, they are much better than nice, but I couldn't stop my fingers for going for the easy rhyme.

    Hoping that your creative, yet overworked fingers are getting a bit of a rest. Back outdoor for you ... please make another of your marvelous videos with music.

    City dweller that I am, I so long for a bumpy cycle ride down some tiny lane with lush greenery on each side ... and then the fork in that road.

  19. Fantastic work Gretel. Whimsical, cute little fellows but also very feisty by the sound of it.

  26. Ohhh, how sweet! You just wanna sing along with them!

  27. They ARE the living end. If I wasn't before I am now entirely enamored of your felty creatures. You're Brilliant!

    And thanks for stopping by to see my fishies and their new digs. Cleaning the pond is kind of a big fuss, but only once a year. And now I have a new little baby girl -- I can't say what possessed me... maybe I ought to have fashioned her from felt!

  28. Oh my goodness! Your creations just get cuter and cuter. It's always a pleasure to stop by and see what you're up to.

  29. Thank you so much for that link to the elderlky UK couple being evicted because of their chickens. I hadn't thought of a celebrity connection (you wouldn't believe who Grace used to babysit.) I've contacted a lawyer and we'll see if we can gathered lots of support. I would think when every few months another bit of our food supply is found to be contaminated, we'd all want our own source of veggies and eggs. Thanks so much again for the link.

  31. Amazing. Perfect. Adorable. I don't know how you do it. You deserve many sunny days on a blanket relaxing after those three. (I bet they were a feisty bunch and wouldn't wait for their buttons to be put on!)
