Census Taker Mouse

"Why are you just sitting there -- help me figure out who is new in this crowd and who I have to add to the census list."  Where does a person begin when you're dealing with a mouse population.  My heart went out to this guy who will never be without a job since no one else wants to do it.

Yes, this fellow is a little irritable but I can see his frustration. After all he is dealing with mice and we all know their propensity for large families.  

I think I shall leave him to it since he seems to be quite organized (and I don't want to get roped into helping him count)!!

Ms. Sew Mouse

Oh, this was bound to show up in my studio.  After all -- one goes where the supplies are and Ms. Sew Mouse is a genius at raiding supplies.  

She only had one request, and that was to ask me to remove the pins and needles from the pin cushion so she could have a more comfortable seat.

At least now I'll know where to look when this and that disappears from my sewing area.

A Mouse in the House

A surprise appeared in my studio the other day!  Yes, its a mouse, quite snuggled down in a box of thread.

I was surprised that he didn't run away, upon seeing me -- but I guess he had found his nest and no one would be moving him anytime soon.

Now I wonder if there are more where he came from and if so, where will they be found?
