| The original lot. One small and three large left at this point. |
My time lately has been pretty much taken up by mice. Not the real ones (Miss O would soon put an end to that), but the knitted versions for Mice for Mama. Sales have slackened somewhat, which in one way is kinda sad, in another way it's kinda good: my stock was running low and I very much needed to make some more.

| The twin mice |
Along came a colleague. Who wanted two small ones for his twin grandchildren (one of each type). And then he wanted two large ones that I had already sold. So, an order for two similar ones came in. Then there was the colleague who is a fan of a certain football club and could I make one in their colours? And then the colleague arrived who had already bought two 'off the rack' as it were, but kept giving them away to her bonus grandson and now definitely wanted one for herself!

That kept me busy for a while. But apparently not busy enough, because once they were done, I started on a few that are not the norm. They are a bit different. With some extras, some embellishments. Because I am making a couple especially for Hallowe'en! I have made one right now and there is another one in the make. Plus plans (but no time this year) for at least six more.

I still have to make two regular ones for November and then three regular ones for December and I want to make a couple of specials for Christmas as well! Guess I will be busy...

ReplyDeleteI am totally besotted by the meeses... drop off in sales is fairly standard after the initial rush; I think this is where the pundits recommend things like instagram as another 'push' outlet...That you are willing and able to create to order including things like footy colours makes them even more desirable. YAM xx
I do take orders for the 'normal' small and large mice, but for the 'special' mice I will not. There it is: what you see is what you get and nothing else. They will be a tad more expensive as well (1 whole euro!), but I think they look fantastic! Do you think I might be biased???
Delete...just a tad - but you have right to be!!! (...and i too think they are fantastic) Yxx
DeleteWow! That exploding head mousie looks like most of my squeaky toys!
ReplyDeleteI don't actually have any exploding head mousies. This was when I was filling one and it looked really funny. Hence the photo.

ReplyDeleteWE love the new feets on the newbies and look forward to seeing them

I need one mouse for my pen pal in India. Rather than ship to me then me ship to her, I'll give you the info to ship to her if that is ok. I will place the order in November if that will work.
ReplyDeleteThat is fine. Just use the contact form on the mice-site and give all her details there.
