Had to share him holding his little lantern

[jillydabrat]

Here you go Jedireject (Chris), made the first lantern today, only 2 more lanterns to go. 3 Christmas Carol books for the ladies, 6 wooden bases and I will be ready to post them to you. Your set of Carol singers will be next Tina x

Oh gosh they are amazing, well done Jilly. X

Thank you, these little mice are keeping me sane x

Just adorable Jill!

[Tico]

Oh Jill they are absolutely wonderful. When you have done Chris's and you have sorted mine can you private message me so I can forward you my donation for Mcmillan and also your costs for postage. You should be so proud of the work you have achieved. Something to look forward too for Christmas 2021. Tina.xx🤗

Hi Tina

I will certainly do that. Like I told Chris, at the moment I think the mice have had a little to much mulled wine and without support they topple over so my lovely hubby is going to make me some small wooden bases and put a wooden dowel in the middle and I will make a pocket at the back of the mice in their individual skirt/coat colours to put the dowel in so they stand upright. I will try and do some more sets for the site when I have done my promised deliveries and, hopefully, auction one set for MacMillan and one set for MPN Voice. Let's see how I get on xx

Cutest Ever. What a talent. If I had one for my grandson I don't think it would ever reach him ! Do you make them for a specific charity ?

[jillydabrat in reply to elliebongo]

I started making them for a Christmas display for myself and my best friend who is mice crazy. I showed them on here and Chris went crazy for them, as did Tina so I agreed to make them a set of 6 Carol singers. The whole set also includes 2 ice skaters, 2 throwing snowballs at each other a street seller selling roasted chestnuts complete with a fire pit and a street seller selling the tiniest mince pies ever. Obviously I can’t to the complete set for everyone or I will be seeing mice in my sleep. Once I have finished fulfilling my promise to Chris and Tina, I will see how many more I can get done as the interest in them has been amazing. I may make them to raise money for the MacMillan Nurses who were with my mum when I couldn’t be when she passed away. Thank you for the lovely comment x

So sweet Jilly. That’s Chris with his light sabre , very apt. You have my admiration . Knitting little figures is very fiddly, what a great job. So appreciated by all recipients I’m sure. Thank you for sharing your talent

Lol, I never thought about his light saver - so funny. Fiddly isn’t the word, it took a whole afternoon just to make the lantern. I am loving making them though.

They look amazing. You are so talented. Sally x

Brilliant Jill , , you need to patent your Dickensian mice , , I think they are fabulous and much better than the ones I'm trying to humanely evict from my shed as they are having little parties in there. Keep calm and carry on clicking !
