EEEEK MICE!!!!


I don't knit much but I said I'd do a few mice for the bazaar. They have catnip in them. I'm sure glad we don't have a cat anymore. I'd never have gotten them done. They're cute little things though. 

We actually do have mice around here... or more correctly voles. They're kind of like rats but have a really short tail. They're the reason there are so many predatory birds like eagles and hawks flying around and we also have a number of feral cats. I've never been much bothered by the voles but I guess our neighbour has cause he feeds the feral cats to keep them around to keep down the mouse population. He also feeds the racoons to keep them from killing the cats and from eating the cherries off his tree and he feeds the coyotes to keep them from killing the cats. It's kind of like the old lady who swallowed a fly*LOL*

I haven't been around much. I've really slowed down on my sewing for the bazaar. We're having a meeting next week to see if there are any other things we need to make. 

I came down with the worst sinus cold last weekend. I haven't had a cold in years so I was miserable. I'm feeling a lot better but my ears are still plugged, I have a cough and I'm sniffly. But at least I don't feel like my head is going to explode anymore. 

Okay, have a good day everyone.

Those mice are so cute! I think the "boys" might like something like that, especially with catnip in them.
