A prezzy for a lil mouse.

Just a quick blog post to show you what i made the other day.

I was feeling a little guilty for torturing, i mean "encouraging" Calvin Mouse into telling me where my stamp was. Knowing that Maddy was making a little house for him, i decided to make him a moving in present....some tables and a chair.



Simple, but very fiddly to make, these tables and chairs are made from balsa wood. The rungs on the chair are made from cocktail sticks. Finished off with a coat of white acrylic, they make a lovely addition to any no use house.

Here they are in action.....



I made two tables so that he can have one in his house, and the other is for when he is crafting with Maddy. :)

The full pics and story is on Maddy's blog here.

Wanna know a little secret? If any of you are in any doubt as to how much Maddy loves this mouse......last time i was up at Maddy's, we were tucked up in bed "having a cuddle". However for about half an hour, Maddy couldn't concentrate on anything else because she knew a certain little someone was tied up in the other room!!!

Unbelievable!

Wow, you're forgiven in my eyes. These are brilliant. I still can't believe the hype over a mouse! Usually I run screaming from them LOL xxx

Now if Calvin (mouse) is as smart as most mice seem to be - you could be making a house full of furniture for eternity as his tastes and decor change..... I wonder if Calvin reads your blog???

Gosh! I've been meaning to try my hand on... carpentry! I just need some basic tools, need some basic skills.. but I do know a little bit about tools.. I just don't know how to use my hands. Afraid if I try to make a mini table will turn into a mini stool.. LOL.. Love your creation here!

P/s: I'm so jealous of Calvin!! Maybe I should make a beautiful she mouse to lure him... you know out from his little house.. So I can have the house!!! HAHAHAHA..It's mine!!! XD

Thanks for the comments everyone, glad you like the furniture as much as Calvin Mouse does. :)

I feel there is going to be a long list of other house items being sent to my door very soon.

Take care and have a good Christmas every one. :)
