Mouse - a collaboration with a 3 year old

First the mouse was an adorable marker drawing, hanging out alongside a bear.


Then, the artist said the mouse had to be blue and goo and boo! Well at least I could make it blue.


I pinned the drawing to the felt and traced it in embroidery stitches.


When it was time to sew the matching pattern piece on, my 3 year old collaborator insisted we stuff felt scraps and stuffing inside the mouse. Recycling! I like the two different sized ears.
