I am constantly amazed by the ingenuity my Maileg mice...
Last week they were reading the daily paper...
...when something caught their attention.
Next thing I knew they were busy tearing and folding...
...and before I could say 'cheese' they had made themselves a new set of furniture
Amazing!
(Factual note: the mouse furniture is actually made of lovely printed fabric and is available at Cottontails here - but the story was nice eh!)

Super love it Charlotte - one of my favourite posts ever! x
I think they are probably distant relations of "Charlie Mouse" et al from Bagpus who really were the most extraordinarily resourceful mice! I can hear them singing "we will fix it, we will mend it......." How lovely they look on their homemade sofa!
Love Sarah x

That is just the cutest post ever! Sarah is right, they remind me of the mice in Bagpuss too!
Were the mice inspired by Robert Thompson ?

Thank you Robert for the comment about Robert Thompson - I had not heard of them before so googled it and discovered this lovely range of wooden furniture and accessories all finished with a hand carved mouse, particular to the carpenter. Amazing. If anyone else is interested - http://www.robertthompsons.co.uk/index.php
