Well done Jodie.

Katy said...

*sigh* oh to dream mousey dreams.

One Flew Over said...

Dear god. They are the sweetest mice I have ever laid eyes on. In fact, these would be 2 mice I would welcome into my pantry with open arms!

Linda said...

well aren't they 2 little peas in a pod! LOVE THEM Jodie xxx

Andi said...

Too cute.
You really do need to think about publishing a children's book.

way too cute Jod!

Sandra @ Pepperberry and Co. said...

Aw, shnukie pies!! I can't wait to meet them one day. You are one talented designer!!

Tania said...

With mice like those I may just be able to get my head around a whole new perspective. Generally meeses and me can't co-exist on the same planet.

Lucy Locket-Pocket said...

Oh how I love them! (Especially Jofus, although I shouldn't have a favourite!) And oh how I love their boat!

Brilliant Jodie!

Selina said...

dottycookie said...

Gorgeous! Are they off to look for a windmill now?

The Sice Family said...

I love this last comment! One of my favourite songs from childhood was about the mice living in a windmill in Amsterdam. Love it! Your mice are adorable Jodie. You are one clever chicken! Wendy xx

Stephanie said...

What a sweet pair. I wonder where they're sailing to.

Farmyard Crafts said...

Cccuuuuuttttteee!! Do you want my pester power again? (Only kidding!) Hope you're feeling heaps better.

Annie said...

The moment I laid eyes on them I was in love! You are just the cleverest. Love them in the boat and I know where they're sailing to

Karin said...

What a cute duo. I bet they dream of all kinds of naughty things!

RED PEPPER QUILTS said...

Gorgeous mouses, gorgeous photos.

CurlyPops said...

Awwwww they're so cute!
It reminds me of when my little brother just started to talk (I'm 6 years older). One of his middle names in Joseph but he couldn't pronounce it, so he would say Jofus instead.

Kate said...

so cute!

beck said...

I've had some hair raising rodent adventures of late but I'd welcome those two little critters with open arms. They are adventurous creatures aren't they? I wonder where they will end up x

Griffin said...

Jofus and Lally went to sea
In a charming blue boat,
With a napkin sail that
The wind blew free;
"I do hope you and me,
Shall stay afloat"
Said Lally dreaming her favourite mousey dreams,
While Jofus fed her cheddar ice creams.

Hither they went and also yon,
Over the waves of the Melted Brie
Behind them the moon ahead the sun
And they went in a boat to sea.

The Moon-eyed Cat prowled and sniffed
"I smell lunch" he said to the flowers.
The flowers would not answer,
they were adrift
In earthy, loamy soil amid the grassy hours.

Jofus and Lally sailed away and still they sail
Through mousey dreams of cheese and bacon rinds
While their boat is carried by the Friendly Whale
And they sleep amid Jodie's fabric of all kinds.

Eleanor said...

I love you Jodie!!!!!!

Jenni said...

how precious are these little guys! I just love them!

connie said...

I love these little guys. I had to laugh when I looked at them. My daughter who is now 22 used to have pretend mousies who she visited with regularly when she was about 3. Thanks for the Mousies!

Jette K said...

Oh how cute!!

Calidore said...

Ohhh too cute and I love the boat they sail in.

Gillian aka Silly Gilly said...

I'd even put the mouse traps away for these two if they came to visit... Superb once again Jodie.

The Dotty One said...

OMG - they are tooo cute! I love the pic of them in the leaves :-)

Leanne said...

Tooo cute. Amazing poem by Griffin.

You should be writing books! They're so cute and so is the story!!

truj said...

Quite possibly the cutest little mice I have seen!

Holly said...

Oh no, I am slain!

suesueb said...

busy lizzie said...

Aw they are adorable. Enough to cure my fear of the scuttly variety!!

clare's craftroom said...

What a lovely pair of mousies !

Christine said...

Adorable! You are so clever.

Moogsmum said...

kirsten schueler said...

Nanette Merrill and daughters said...

Super super cute. Think how cute they would be staged for illustration in a child's book. I'm not a rodent lover (having battled them once at our house) but these are sooo darn cute.

sewkalico said...

These are too cute (unlike the real ones which I have a pathological fear of especially if they are small and black and living in our house!!!!)

Thimbleanna said...

Holy Cow Woman! Do you ever stop??? They're ADORABLE!

Sew Useful Designs said...

Too cute, Jodie!

Love the photo shoot too... it's wonderful to see the little couple in their natural habitat!

Hugs! Vikki :-)

our shabby cottage said...
