Mouse/vole!

I forgot to mention!  I finished my other pocket mouse/vole thingy!

I have now made two (count 'em - two!) toys.  And I've even started working on a new one (a cat this time, for balance).

There are a few mistakes that I've repeated on the second mouse/vole, but that's because I don't actually know how to sew anything more complicated than a back stitch and a cross-stitch, so it took a while for me to figure out exactly what a ladder stitch was (not what I was doing, that's for sure).

But I shall improve.  I shall make more toys.  I shall be a toy maker!


This one has a tail (so not a manx mouse/vole thingy), but I didn't give him any whiskers.  The other one had whiskers, but no tail.


I'm not sure whether I should have given Number Two whiskers or not.  I wasn't 100% sold on the whiskers for Number One, but now I think they add a certain something...
