I’ve been having a bit of a think recently.

About new things to make. Or more, rather, about new ways of presenting things I make, to make them more attractive and desirable.

I still want to make little characters, because that’s what brings me most joy to create.

Like this one…

Molly Mouse turned out all right in the end, although at one point I wasn’t sure that she was going to.

I was only just able to turn her right-side-out, a common problem when making new tiny things. It’s really hard to know exactly how tiny to go first-time-around, and bits of her got stuck in the turning, which caused me some mutterings.

But we got there in the end.

This is how tiny Molly is:

I’d go even smaller if I could, but I’m not sure my equipment (including my eyes) is up to it.

Anyway, Molly is a bit little and not really up for any rough handling, so I thought that she might appreciate being decorative, rather than useful.

She, and other creatures like her, are going to be given little boxes to live in, to hang on the wall…

I’m not sure yet about the background. That fabric, a very recent acquisition from Ticking Stripes, is lovely, but just one of many possibilities.

I could also add other bits and bobs to her little home…

Anyway, I have more thing-in-a-box ideas brewing.

I just need to find me a supply of suitable boxes now. ♥
