They are everywhere! I was commissioned to make a copy of Mrs Mouse, from my book 'Mrs Mouse's Cupcakes'. I made the first one about four years ago and it was intriguing to see how the second one was so much better than the first. Can you tell which is the old one and which the new? I will put the answer at the end of this post.
And now for the gentlemen. Another pattern, this time for 'Crafty Magazine', of the Town Mouse and the Country Mouse. Or Hugo and Joe, as they are now known.
There are a limited amount of 'Crafty' to buy from their site here. Or, for digital users, you can buy the download here. Otherwise, it will be in most WHSmiths, supermarket sections or good newsagents. Have fun!
(The new Mrs Mouse is on the left hand side of the picture).

The most adorable mice I have seen in a long time! Simply gorgeous.
They are DREAMY! How long does it take for you to make one of those mice? There is so much detail!
Each of your mice is a total charmer, Gretel. Great to see Hugo and Joe as Crafty cover boys. (That's make me laugh...the expression crafty cover boys!)
What I love about all your creations is that they have distinct personalities...yet all are clearly, to my eye, the work of one very talented lady. You've got such a style!

Loving Hugo and Joe! The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse was a particular favourite of my children so I have a great fondness for that story :)
They are wonderful Gretel.
I got it! It was hard to figure out, as both Mrs. are beautiful and perfectly finished, but the one on the left was just a bit more perfect. Love your work, as usual.
