A tiny felt grey mouse sleeps soundly in his little walnut shell.

I have been making these little ornaments at Christmas since I was a little girl. The walnuts are split carefully by hand and the little mouse is made of 100% wool felt stuffed with a tiny amount of carded new wool, finished with tiny hand embroidered eyes and a glass seed bead nose. The quilt is patchwork cotton print, and the little stocking is felt with a miniature tinsel trim stitched on by hand. There is a satin ribbon hanging loop. The small parts are all stitched together by hand before being glued into the walnut shell.

Each mouse comes in his own gift box. The last two photographs are for scale. You will receive the mouse in the first 3 photos.

This is not a toy. It is intended as a decorative item.
