Welcome to another post about the mad new start binge Tiff and Annie and I are undertaking between April and July in our attempt to start 17 new projects over 17 weekends. Pop over to their blogs to see what they've been up to too.
This week I went for another cutie, one of a collection of 30 Merry Mice.
There are probably a dozen or so I would like to stitch so it was just a case of whittling it down to which one first. I decided on number 21 which I have aptly named Mouse Reading Book! Here's a closer picture:
I didn't have too bad a weekend for stitching so managed to achieve a good amount, including some backstitching:
Stitched on 16ct Glacier over-dyed aida by sewitall.com
Stitching time to date - 5 hours 5 minutes
I've just realised that all four projects I've started this month have been on blue fabric so next week, and to mark the half-way point of this binge, I'm definitely going for a different colour. How does purple with white stars sound?
Take care,
Rachel x

There are so many cute choices, great one to start with! Also, yes, I really want to see the purple and white star fabric. :)
That is so cute! And my favourite too. Although I also like 20 and 22. And one or two more LOL
Good choice! So many to choose from though!
I love that Mouse reading a book that is bigger than him! Well Purple 'might' be a good color! LOL
Oohh I looove the sound of purple with white stars...! Can't wait to see what you'll stitch on it:D Have a nice weekend <3
They are all so cute! The detail on that book is incredible. Purple with white stars sounds pretty x

Such a cute mouse! And is seems the pattern is bigger than I would have thought from the picture, too.
Oh my, they all look adorable! Nice choice to start with the book, will you stitch them all?
