Just Nan Gingerbread mice

Xmyheart · Post time 2014-1-1 14:04

Though Ive seen the little mice, owls, and birds, I really didnt think it would be something Id do, but here I am having finished 2 gingerbread mice. They are meant to be ornaments and they are this years ornaments to myself.

I chose 32-count opalescent raw Belfast linen instead of the almond or raw linen suggested, adding a bit of glisten to the fabric. The Kreinik #4 very fine braid (002L) added even more glimmer and it goes well with the material. Putting the mice together was new for me but went quickly. It took 3 days to make these 2 charming little mice (1 day each of stitching and a couple of hours to sew, stuff, and finish). They will hang on my Xmas tree in 2014.

Gingerbread and Jingle Mice

Just to show how small these are, Ive set them next to a packet of cross stitch needles.

Addictive little buggers arent they, LOL. Ive made at least a dozen of them. Ive also made the bunny, bee, owl and the cardinal. Cant wait to see what they come up with in 2014.

oh I just adore them :loveliness: they look like they are singing a happy little duet! :D great choice for the material, think I will do the same (I smell an ebay shopping spree lol)

all kidding aside they are wonderful. did you find them very hard to stitch together as that is my only real fear of making one. :) congratulations and happy stitching and new year too :)
