๐ญ Frazzled Fuzzy Momma Mouse & Baby Mouse Tutorial ๐ญ
Let me tell you about my newest crafting adventure: making the frazzled fuzzy Momma Mouse and Baby Mouse! ๐๐ These little critters are soooo adorable, beginner-friendly, and an absolute joy to make. Best of all, I didnโt follow a single pattern or instructionโI just winged it! Trust me, if I can do it, so can you. โจ
What Youโll Need: ๐งต
Fuzzy material (the fuzzier, the better!) ๐งธ
Stuffing (to make them nice and squishy) ๐พ
Felt (for their little ears and feet) ๐จ
Marbles (for weightโno one wants a toppling mouse!) โช
Black beads (for eyes) ๐
Pink beads (for noses) ๐ธ
Broom bristles (for whiskers) ๐งน
Sewing machine ๐ชก
Hand-stitch needle ๐งถ
Blush (to add that frazzled look) ๐
Glue gun ๐ซ
Why I Craft ๐ญ
I started crafting around age 53, teaching myself as I went. For me, crafting is therapy. ๐งโโ๏ธ It smooths out the rough edges of a mind worn down by trauma and PTSD. After decades in law enforcement, I know plenty of you understand that struggle. Thereโs something healing about creating something with your hands, letting your mind focus on the joy of making. ๐จ๐๏ธ

Happy crafting, friends! โ๏ธ๐
Love,
