Somewhere along the banks of the River Thames lives a small group of Mice and Bunnies...they are brightly coloured and believe in food, tea parties and hot summer days. They are the Briesberry Mice and Carrotby Bunnies and wish to welcome you to their colourful world...

And The Winner IS ...

Lady Sophia, who was one of the very first mice to come to Briesberry and Bret, who came to Briesberry and promptly fell in love with her, decided to pick this one...

They used the cat teapot, which scared them at first until they realised the cats were just painted on...

All the names were written on little labels which were then folded up and placed in
 the cup... ( they made a mess at this point)





Then the names were placed in the teapot, which had a good shake...




Bret poured out the labels...





And Lady Sophia choose the winner....

A Very Festive Post!





This is my last post before Cambridge Handmade Craft Fair tomorrow! Eek! I think everything is organised now though and next time it will be easier as I'll know more what I'm doing!

 The Reindeers have arrived! Originally I planned to make eight reindeers, (Dascher, Dancer,Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donna and Blitzen) But due to time constraints I only managed to make four. So Dascher, Dancer, Prancer and Vixen are coming along to Cambridge Handmade with me tomorrow. I made them little detatchable reindeer antler headbands and gave them a little gold bell each! Also coming along are many bunny and mousie angels and some Father Xmas bunnies.





As I live so close to Nottingham I also decided to make these little mice as a tribute to one very famous resident...





I'm so nervous! Fingers crossed everything goes well.

Okay, I'll sign off now but I'll leave you with this picture of a beautiful batik I bought at a car boot fair this summer for a bargin £2.00 (When I get a studio it will take pride of place on one of the walls)
