a mouse for the house

It can get a little draughty living so close to the sea and my bedroom door has a habit of blowing closed or rattling during the night at times when the gales are blowing. I've been using an old wooden door wedge until now but decided it was about time I replaced it something nicer so made myself one of these sweet mouse doorstops.

I altered the pattern a little and made his ears a brighter colour. A good way to use up some odd pieces of wool.

He also has a nice tail...

baking with mouse

Friday baking and blog updating. I'm going to try and illustrate the shopping lists more regularly from now on.

Also on the internet, Hannah and Alan have a lovely new blog on the go (A year in Eggs) & Yumi has finally gone public with her toilet rating scheme.

I ate a lot of cheese this weekend, and made some very pink rose flavoured ice cream. It was a bit overpowering.

I also got this nice little mouse from the market. He's handy for holding things.

lost and found

Today my mouse brooch came back to me in the post, which was a very nice surprise.
I also watched the baby seagull practising flying once again - he's definitely improving!

I've been making a list of things I want to do in October once my MA is finished.
One of my plans is to improve my people drawing skills (& I have a little project in mind).
I certainly need the practice...
