Peaches the Mouse

24th October, 2021

Two homemade mice on a table

Peaches the mouse is a sewing pattern created by my-darling-boy. It’s an easy craft project: print out the booklet, visit a fabric store for the material, Michael’s for a bag of stuffing (remember: never go in without a voucher), and the dollar store for a bag of buttons and needle & thread.

It’s fun to make a mouse with your partner! Put on a good album, sit around the table, and make a cuddly toy each.

Pebble birds

Pebble Birds

Three framed pictures of birds. The bodies are pebbles glued to the paper; the rest are simple stick figures.

I stayed in an AirBNB recently that had these pictures in the bathroom. They’re cute.

You could replicate this yourself. This would be a great keepsake for a trip to a beach. (You can also buy similar pictures on Etsy, but… why? The charm is in the DIY.)
