A little mouse has made a house in an old stocking made from red cotton ticking. Mouse is small at approx. 7cm tall (he was very wriggly and hence difficult to measure!). His stocking home is about 19cm long from heel to the top. There is a little hanging tag made from matching red ticking so that the stocking can be hung from a hook.

I have tried to make mouse comfy by filling the stocking with rags then dried moss, and flowers and some red berry pips for added colour. I've added a little rusty bell to the toe, just in case a cat comes too close to mouse's house!

Mouse and his house are my own creation and were made on my old Singer treadle machine.
