Happy Monday!
Yesterday I celebrated my 37th Birthday and as a Gift to myself I made one of these guys
I followed the pattern from the gracious Beautiful Nightmare blog (link in image), and made an oops when making the ears...made them too big and now she looks more like a mouse vs. a bear...ah well.
Then while making her my hubby suggested I stuff some Lavender leaves inside of her to make her smell like Lavender! YES amazing idea! So we headed to the Cotton Exchange here in Wilmington to this wonderfully cute store called Down to Earth and spoke with the owner, she suggested to make the smell last longer to infuse some flax seeds with 20-30 drops of essential oils, BINGO! Got the seeds soaking last night, went to Hobby Lobby today and picked up some Sheer Wedding Favor bags to hold the seeds and Voila! Stuffed her belly, assembled her together, added a scarf, and BINGO Mouse!
Check her Out!
Don't you just LOVE her, she sits about 10" tall and is just soo sweet!
Now bag to my regularly scheduled programming of working on a baby afghan!
