Tootsie 3-1/4" Needle Felted Mouse (SOLD)

In the forest village of Rodanta even the children have a task to tend to....
Today one of the forest Gnomes gave birth and the mice have always been special friends to the Gnomes....
There have been many a life saved by the Gnomes so when the mice heard of the birth they sent a mouse to lay flower petals at the Gnome's doorstep....

Even the baby barn owl takes part in the celebration as one time his father was caught in a wire fence and the Gnomes used their wee wire cutters to set him free....
It is a special day for all. Only the sweetest of flowers are picked for the baby Gnome.
When the sun sets the Mama Gnome comes outside her door and scoops up the petals that the wee mouse left for her babe....
And they are placed under the babe's pillow so she may have sweet dreams. It has been a good day for all!

Berrianna 3-1/2" Needle Felted Mouse By Barby Anderson (SOLD)

In it not an uncommon occurrence to see wee forest mice from the village of "Rodanta" helping out with the other forest creatures. Often the Gnomes of the forest ask them to help out. This wee mouse is off to help a squirrel who needed some berries for a cold he has been suffering with. She mashes the berries with her wee feet (hence the berry colored shoes), added just a touch of honey, a pinch of her magical powders and made it into a thick paste for the squirrel. If the squirrel is too sick to open his mouth for the paste she tickles his chin and it opens just enough for the mouse to wipe some berry paste on his tongue. "Berrianna" loves to carry the berry paste in her favorite owl bag as the owls of the forest protect her. After she has treated the sick squirrel she stays with him to be sure he is better and then returns home to enjoy a berry pie with her family. There are many tasks the wee mice of the village tend to and "Berrianna" is one of the kindest of them all.

Homer our pug dog


Our pug Homer was diagnosed with cancer a few weeks ago. He is doing ok for now. My niece Amy and her artist boyfriend Rob came to visit and Rob painted Homer from a photo he had! It was quite a surprise, our Homer is 11 now. We adore the painting and our dear Amy and Rob! Just click on the photo to enlarge.

Deep in the forest wee little mice begin to appear....
With such tiny lips .... they're so very dear.....

Mother-in-law Pin Cushion Art Doll (SOLD)


OK she means well right? And you don't mind at all when she arrives at your home unannounced to see "her" son. She thought she heard a sniffle in his voice when she called him and had to come check on him. Before you know it she is making his favorite meatloaf and has noticed your messy cupboards while rummaging to find the spices. Oh yes, dear old mother-in-law, no one quite like her. Hope you enjoy her!
